We've got a big selection of our curly canine friends!









Poodles you can wear...





















Poodles that sit up and look cute...




























In glass being artsy or a bottle....




































Poodles for your table...



















Poodles for your wall.....






















And an elegant sitting poodle for your floor!

Blue Jean

From the decade that brought you 'Tuff Turf', 'R.A.D.', and 'The Legend of Billie Jean' we present to you... denim.



Jean jackets are the quintessential Florida wardrobe staple, be they slathered in rhinestone brooches, plastered with band buttons or worn with minimalist restraint. Light enough not to stifle in the late summer months but sturdy enough to withstand a blast of AC they are equally adept at lending an edge of punky nonchalance to a whispy lace frock.




Top one with a jaunty engineer's cap...




Pop one over a slinky lace shell...




Just don't forget that Buddies Are In It Together.

This Skirt Has Hounds On It!



Hounds!! We just had to bring that to your attention.



Frankly, we can't get enough of the circle skirts around here. They are the perfect Florida wardrobe staple; swishy and ventilated in the summer and perfect with a cardigan and tights (or a cropped 80's jacket and boots) when the weather cools off.








For inspiration, look no further. 27 years later it still seems fresh. Such is the beauty of vintage!

Back to (Old) School



We at Yesterdaze do not endorse giving your teacher wormy apples. It appears to give this instructor a nasty case of the gin blossoms, though her wasp waist and red nails are rather sassy. We do wholeheartedly endorse stocking up on vintage finery to make cracking the books a little more fun.

Observe the following:

Tie One On!

The sale runs through August 31st, allowing plenty of time to pick up an Annie Hall back-to-school look. If you're not going back to class you can still dress up like a jaunty French schoolgirl just for kicks.

Because it's winter somewhere, dammit!



If this decadent satin smoking jacket doesn't make you want to crank the AC and curl up in the dark with a vodka gimlet and 'The Thin Man' then there is no hope for your soul.



Look for this and other sumptous, seasonally-inappropriate offerings in our online store. Meanwhile, swing by our Florida Ave location to stock up on breezy cotton circle skirts, slinky sundresses and swimwear.

Holy Hukilau!

The hibiscus is in bloom, barkcloth is soaking up our sultry summer perspiration and Hukilau is just around the corner! Traditionally "hukilau" referred to a communal Hawaiian method of fishing as well the subsequent festive beach gathering where the catch was consumed. All who participated in netting the fish were invited to partake of the feast. In South Florida Hukilau refers to an annual tiki festival held at Fort Lauderdale's spectacular Mai Kai Restaurant and Lounge. This year marks the ninth installment, which will be held June 10-13.





The Mai Kai was built in 1956 and has remained virtually unchanged since the 1960's. For several years it held the record for selling more rum drinks than any location in the US due to several signature cocktails, most notably the "Mystery Drink". This concoction was served by a silent "Mystery Girl" who would present a lei and a kiss to the recipient of the flaming cocktail while a gong was struck.

Whether you're Mai Kai bound or not be sure to swing by and check out our selection of Mystery Girl-worthy sundresses and sarongs.





P.S. If you make it to the Hukilau be sure to give a nod to Yesterdaze pals Stolen idols and Lounge Laura Taylor who will be playing and spinning exotica throughout the weekend!

We Love Yesterdaze!
