IF AND ONLY IF has been offering up a mix of contemporary clothing, beautiful jewelry, stylish gifts and cool art on 4th Street North in St. Petersburg for over 15 years now. It is still run by co-creator Teresa Vidal, a Florida Native who studied Fashion, Business and Psychology in New York City.
Although IF AND ONLY IF has always carried the best National Brands like 7 for All Mankind, BCBG, Ben Sherman, Me & Ro and more; there is a strong emphasis on local made items.
Local artists include: Natty Moss Bond makes great greeting cards (her line is called rubbish) from recycled office supplies and anything else she can find. Natty also creates amazing art pieces from found or retooled objects: affirmation mirrors, mosaic heart mirrors and more. Amy Santee, Eckerd college student, who uses vintage buttons, charms and assorted findings to create her own jewelry line. Katie May Boyle, local elementary art teacher and artist who works with mixed media, utilizing wax seals, postage stamps and paper samples. Katie makes collage art, handbags and handmade cards. Urban Reconstruction by Natalie Moore are fabulous tops made out of several tops taken apart, stitched together and hand embroidered. Blackbird and Raven use thrift store finds to create one of a kind works of art/ clothing. Carolann Denison hand makes intricate beautiful Sterling Silver Chain Maile Jewelry with exquisite care and attention to detail. Last but not least, owner Teresa Vidal, going back to her four year old desire to be an artist, began playing around with painting and making jewelry. Combining it all she now makes stylish, handmade jewelry; Indian inspired painted necklace holders; painted wall hangings with jewels; and whatever else strikes her fancy at the time. You can find Teresa's work online at www.teresaann.etsy.com.
