  • Pre-Opening Sneak Peek at Tatyana’s new Boutique in Toronto!!!

    As a member of the Toronto Vintage Society I obviously love vintage, but as a plus size woman it can be hard to find the real deal. Enter reproductions and rockabilly style. Most of my wardrobe is made up of this stuff, but it’s still difficult to find even in Toronto. Much needs to be […]
