The LBD is a closet staple, but here at MERCY we like our black dresses with a twist.  Sheer bell sleeves and tier upon tier of fringe make sure these black cocktail dresses never fade into the shadows.  Come into MERCY for more gorgeous party dresses (in black..or color)!!

Denim and leather brought us all together.  We played a little dress-me-up/dress-me-down with some of our stellar designer (and not designer) items.  Cute dresses topped with hard-edged, metal adorned jackets? We couldn't help but get a little 80's nostalgia.  Come check out the store and pick up your own version of these tough-but-sweet looks!   After all, it is you that sets the spirit free.

With the store packed full of vintage goodness, we decided to play dress up with some of our favorite pieces!  Keep an eye out for frequent posts showcasing great vintage looks that span all price ranges, eras and style sensibilities.

The winter months are dwindling, now is the time to get some wear out of your furs before stowing 'em away for next fall (or this summer...it is the Bay Area)!  Real or fake, fur has forever been a fashion favorite; here are two of our favorites from the store, but there are Plenty more to be had!!!

today i finally get to reveal my newest vintage acquisition: this crazy beautiful 1940's olive green coat! it was one of those truly serendipitous moments when i ran into mercy vintage at the last minute before my trip, looking for a fun little party dress. of course i ended up browsing through the coats on my way to the dressing room, and of course this coat popped right out at me. i tried it on thinking the big puff sleeves would probably swallow up my frame, but to my surprise, it fit like a glove! and so my poor wallet cried a single tear as i coughed up the dough...

but i'm happy to invest in a few statement coats here and there. and i'm quite pleased that while this coat is from the 1940's, it's still perfectly in tune with the current military trend we've been seeing in many of the fashion editorials. did you see the vogue march issue?
