…of what I was up to this weekend!
We shot new images for the website AND our Holiday 2012 lookbook yesterday (I know you’re laughing…but the holidays will be here before you know it!). You’ll get to see more come October 1st!

Do you know what’s sad? Between last Monday and today, I’ve left the house only once (plus dog walks!). The snow has us totally packed in still: the car has been rendered useless until some of this stuff melts. Running errands? A thing of the past. Who needs groceries? Pffft.
We walked a gazillion orders for the shop to the post office tonight, after I almost got the car (that has 4 wheel drive) stuck in the snow. So to work and home it will be for me until some of the snow melts. But, seeing as it’s supposed to be like, -12 tomorrow….don’t think it’s gonna happen any time soon. But, no matter what, I still heart winter!
One day, I’ll have a blog with content not influenced by the weather.
Striking Gold

Blouse: Vintage, Skirt: F21, Socks: H&M, Tights: ?, Boots: Vintage
You guys. WOAH. Thanks for your outpouring of kind words
yesterday! It’ll be a lot of work, but it’s a positive change I’m looking forward to. Ah….still reeling in excitement here, but the best will come when it’s all actually happening!
Wednesday I stopped at a thrift store on a whim – SO glad I did. I’ve been hunting for the perfect pussybow blouse (am I the only person creeped out by that term, btw?) for months and months with no luck. Then, whaddyaknow?! I found THREE, all priced at $2.80. Some days you just strike gold!
TIP: If there’s an item you’re hunting for at the thrifts, don’t limit yourself to just your neighborhood thrift store. Expand your horizons, visit several stores and you may find what you’re seeking!
As much as I love winter (I really do!), the winter sartorial sads have hit me. But my favorite new vintage blouse paired with my very favorite map skirt pulled me out of my slump yesterday!
Fair Isle: Not Just for Sweaters!

Cape: Vintage, Dress: Target, Tights: HUE, Boots: Christmas Gift, Headband: Zzouzi Hats
Like many folks, I had Monday off for the MLK holiday. I’ve found that if I stay in comfy clothes all day, nothing gets done. My to-do list included lots of laundry and housework, so being lazy wasn’t an option!
I put on a dress but kept it casual with these warm sweater boots. My dad gave them to me for Christmas (along with some other great gifts..including my 50mm lens!). My step mom assured me he picked them out all by himself. Not bad, Pops – I love them! They’re fleece lined and have a rubber sole, so even though they’re mostly a slipper boot, I can still wear them outside if need be. Perfect for a snowy day like today!
If you’re curious about the history of the term fair isle, check out this post by ChiTown Fashionista! She gives a good summary and some great tips for wearing fair isle sweaters!
How was your Monday?
Atlas in the Snow
January 13, 2011 by · Leave a Comment
Confession: I’m a little banged up from yesterday’s mishap in the snow. A little bruising and shooting pains in my arm…lame! So, in lieu of an outfit post tonight, I present a video of little Atlas in action.
Disclaimer: There is very brief dog urination. Just sayin’. And you get to hear my “dog mom” voice.
