Double feature: Rhiannon and Lauren

If you are familiar with the blogging world, no doubt you have run across Rhiannon's blog: Liebemarlene, and her sister Lauren's blog: Blooming Leopold! Both girls currently live in the south, Rhiannon in Atlanta, and Lauren in Nashville. I already feel such a connection to them as a fellow Southern girl! In addition, Rhiannon and Lauren both run fashion businesses. Rhiannon has an online shop called Silent Sundays. She stocks beautiful independent designers (Secret Squirrel, TBA, Family Affairs, etc.) and vintage. Rhiannon is going to be selected some vintage pieces especially for Audrey Grace! Lauren runs, Blooming Leopold, her own handmade line. Every piece is so special and pretty. Blooming Leopold will be stocked in Audrey Grace. I am so excited to have these stylish sisters as a part of the boutique. Enjoy my interviews with them below!

Interview with Rhiannon of Liebemarlene!

Tell me a little big about yourself, your blog Liebemarlene, and your shop Silent Sundays.

I started blogging over four years ago in the days when I was selling vintage on Ebay. In those days I wasn't sure about blogging (didn't know if people would care enough to read the stuff I wrote and still don't) but I loved it, especially the chance to babble on about the things I loved and was inspired by. I sold vintage on Ebay, then Etsy, and eventually set up an online store with my friend Jamie Hopper. She's my favorite photographer in Atlanta, and I can't think of anyone I'd rather work with. We both choose what we want to sell--lots of vintage, and each season we have a small collection of things from some of our favorite independent designers.

Where did you grow up?

In the midwest--I grew up in northern Illinois is a pretty small town, then went to college in an even smaller town in Indiana.  When I lived there I used to knock it, but it's really not so bad, and sometimes I start missing things about the midwest, like its amazing summers and taking weekend trips to Wisconsin. 

What do you like about living in Atlanta?

I like that Atlanta's a city with lots of things to do and see and eat--whenever people come to visit us there's always a new restaurant to go to or good stores to shop at. It's a really diverse place, and pretty liberal for the south (which I like). I like that there's always at least one contestant from Atlanta on each season of RuPaul's Drag Race--makes me proud.  Also Ludacris lives here.

What do you love about living in the south? Do you find it to be a magical place?

Mostly I love that it's different from what I'm used to. I grew up in a place with mostly cornfields--no hills and not many trees. A lot of the south is physically beautiful and has a ton of history, which living here has made me super passionate about. I love that after three years of living here I'm still excited about site-seeing and I'm still checking out nerdy books from the library about southern history and culture. The south is magical to me sometimes--depends where I am. Atlanta isn't magical (unless in funny ways) but cities like Savannah and Charleston are probably more romantic than any other city I've been to in the States.

How do you think Audrey Grace will contribute to the retail scene in the South and specifically, Jackson.

I don't know much about Jackson except that Eudora Welty lived there, and I went to Mississippi once with Jamie and fell in love with it.  The parts I saw of it were beautiful and old-fashioned, and I think that the romantic clothes at Audrey Grace will be a hit there.  

What could you see yourself buying from Audrey Grace?

I'm in love with Up the Wooden Hills and Alexandra Grecco, and I hear something about Blooming Leopold selling at Audrey Grace?

Tell me about the work Silent Sundays is doing for Audrey Grace.

Jamie and I are putting together a capsule collection of vintage pieces that we think will fit the Audrey Grace spirit. And we might put together some photographs too.

Who are some of your favorite designers, artists and photographers?

For the last few years I've really been into designers from Australia and New Zealand--Lover, Secret Squirrel, Juliette Hogan, and Twenty-Seven Names are always favorites. I love TBA and Nadinoo a bunch.  I'm very ignorant when it comes to art, but usually in art museums I like things from the late 1700s best. As for photographers I like Jody Rogac a ton for fashion stuff-- Jamie Hopper too! And photographers like William Eggleston and Clarence John Laughlin make me glad to live in the south. 

What are your favorite books and magazines to look through for inspiration?

Lula, Bullett, Frankie, Rush, and The Gentlewoman are my favorite fashion magazines, and I love Garden and Gun and Georgia Backroads for southern tourist stuff. I can't really read fashion related books anymore (burnt out and don't really care about Coco Chanel, Karl Lagerfeld, etc.) but I like history books and biographies and novels. Just finished Deborah Mitford's memoirs and it made me want to move out to the country and start over. Or just move to England so I can be her friend.

What are your favorite blogs?

My sister Lauren's blog Blooming Leopold, Foxtail & Fern, Jeana Sohn, Olive My Love for fashion. I love Forgotten New York for history stuff and food blogs like Lottie and Doof and Smitten Kitchen.

Your recent wedding was so beautiful! What advice can you give to those planning a stylish wedding? And where did you find your dress?

Thank you! I'm not big on weddings so don't think I'd be good at giving advice; I just wanted something really low-key and simple and outdoors.  We lucked out on our venue--an old farm community that had prettiness to make up for our lack of decorating, etc. My dress is actually an old one by Lover that I found on Australian Ebay.

Describe your personal style.

I used to dress in very romantic things, but since I'm getting older (thirty-one this month!) I'm trying to tone some of that stuff down--fewer bows, frills, peter pan collars, even though I think it's all adorable. Right now I like pretty simple, boring stuff--plain velvet dresses and tights and ankle boots pretty much make up my fall uniform.    

Who is your style icon?

Silent film stars like Marion Davies and Mabel Normand, Joan Crawford, Julie Christie.  And I like modern girls like Leith Clark, Alexa Chung (of course), Michelle Williams, and Kirsten Dunst.

What are your favorite places in Atlanta and across the South?

In Atlanta I love this new Korean taco place called Takorea, Star Provisions for sandwiches and desserts, Octane for coffee, Antico pizza. Favorite places across the south: Rock City in Chattanooga, Back in the Day Bakery in Savannah, the whole city of Charleston, and where my parents live in Tennessee.

What are your favorite films for fashion?

Busby Berkeley musicals, Julie Christie in Darling, and Picnic at Hanging Rock. Lately I really like Joan Crawford's costumes in '30s movies like Sadie McKee--sort of over the top, but beautiful.

What do you love about your sister's collection, Blooming Leopold?

I love that it's so Lauren--I could see her wearing every single thing in it, and I love that she puts her own touch on everything. I already have my eye on one of the dresses--it has the most perfect sleeves.

What is your favorite decade for vintage?

Probably the '30s and '70s, especially '70s versions of '30s styles. I love art deco elements and flutter sleeves, anything in silk.

What does the future look like for you, your blog and Silent Sundays? Hopefully lots of exciting things!

Thanks! Well I'm bad at planning things. For my blog I want to change it up a little--write about more than fashion and write about other things I'm interested in.. more history posts, for one thing. We just released our new fall lookbook and collection for Silent Sundays, so I'm still thinking about that and not really sure what's next. Excited to get shopping again for our next release!

Thank you, Rhiannon!

Interview with Lauren of Blooming Leopold!

Tell me a little big about yourself, your blog and your line, Blooming Leopold.

My name is Lauren Winter and I'm the girl behind the Blooming Leopold blog and shop! I began the blog as a means to chronicle my personal style adventures and it grew into a love of sewing and a handmade line in 2011, which I couldn't be more excited about.

Where did the name Blooming Leopold come from?

Blooming Leopold is a play on the name of Ulysses' main character, Leopold Bloom. I was on a James Joyce kick the summer I started the blog! My husband and I even named our dog after the character - Bloom.

What do you think is so special about having handmade garments? This is obviously a very important aspect of your line that I love!

Sewing a handmade garment and shipping it to someone is a much more personal experience for me than selling vintage. You put a piece of yourself in everything you sew- with all the added time and effort, and especially since the garments were designed by you, your collection kind of becomes your baby. It's scary to release it into the world, almost, but also extremely rewarding when it finds a home.

Where did you grow up?

I grew up in northern Illinois in a very typical midwestern town, surrounded by cornfields. Growing up, I just wanted to get away and find a place with more beauty. Now that I have grown up and moved away, I think the Midwest - with its flat expanse and endless farmland - has its own special brand of beauty that I really couldn't appreciate when I was little.

What do you like about living in Nashville?

I love Nashville! The southern states seem to have a lot of history and personality to me. Living in a city in the south means you still have the life and universal feel of a city while being close to the old plantation homes and well-preserved culture of the south. Nashville has the sweetest people I've ever met, beautiful weather, and awesome coffee shops (Crema, Dose, and Roast Inc. are our current favorites).

How do you think Audrey Grace will contribute to the retail scene in the south and specifically, Jackson?

With the variety of designers and vintage stockists heading Jackson's way, I think Audrey Grace Boutique will leave an indelible mark on the fashion scene around the area! Designers from all over will be selling their wares at the store, including several designers that are only available in large cities like New York and London. What a treat Mississippi has to be able to shop these collections locally! 

What could you see yourself buying from Audrey Grace?

Everything! My favorites have got to be TBA, Silent Sundays, and Rachel Antonoff.

Tell me about the vintage pieces you are sourcing for Audrey Grace.

I'm lucky to not only be providing my handmade collection but also vintage found here in Nashville! Pieces I'll provide for the boutique include dreamy holiday garments - 1940s velvet dresses in rich jewel hues, sequined tops, and assorted lace and chiffon pieces in pastels.

Why do you think Audrey Hepburn and Grace Kelly's style is relevant today?

To me, Audrey Hepburn and Grace Kelly embody a classic sort of beauty that never really goes out of style. The shapes and fabrics they wore can generally be found in the garments of today- holiday dresses in brocade, wool suit sets and simple black dresses. Not to mention, both women were stunning and confident.

Who are some of your favorite designers, artists and photographers?

Aubrey Beardsley, Edward Gorey, JW Waterhouse, David Hamilton, TBA, Family Affairs, many more!

What are your favorite books and magazines to look through for inspiration?

Umberto Eco's History of Beauty and Lula Magazine! I love looking through illustrated books from the 1920s or older, too. I have a turn of the century copy of the Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam (I think I picked it up at a yard sale when I was little) that has these beautiful color images, and a collection of children's fairytales that's about 90 years old now.

What are your favorite blogs?

Liebemarlene, Hannah and Landon, and Hello Mr. Fox are definitely my top three favorite blogs! I love Always, Sometime, Anytime as well. The Selby is a website I've been visiting a lot lately too, we just bought a house and I'm in desperate need of some interior design inspiration.

Describe your personal style.

I don't know how to describe my personal style because it's always changing.. right now, I'm in a 70s meets 90s phase - boxy blazers, cut off shorts, grunge-y maxi dresses, Gunne Sax, floral wreaths, lots of velvet. I'm addicted to this pair of chunky platform lace ups I found at a thrift store last year.

Who is your style icon?

My style icons are my sisters! They never fail to be themselves- they both have very distinct styles and I love them for it.

What are your favorite shops? Do you shop locally or online?

My favorite shops are thrift stores, preferably out in the country around Nashville or in Madison, TN. I try to keep my shopping local at nearby vintage stores like Local Honey and Goodbuy Girls, and I buy a lot of stuff from American Apparel in town. When I shop online for clothing, it's either on Madewell, Topshop, or Etsy (but that's mostly dream shopping).

What are your favorite films for fashion?

I think I get more inspiration from films than from books- films like The Red Shoes, Pretty Baby, Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, and Amadeus. I revisit my favorite films often. The best films for fashion are movies that try to capture another time period, like Picnic at Hanging Rock or Badlands, because inevitably they leave some of their own decade's (or century's) style in the film and the mix can be beautiful.

What do you love about your sister's vintage collection and her shop, Silent Sundays?

I love looking at Silent Sundays' wares and instantly thinking of Rhiannon and Jamie - their shop is reminiscent of their own personal fashion, and that's how a shop should be! How every piece is styled and the professional quality of their lookbooks, too.. have you seen their latest one? Their vintage is always classic but still manages to be current - a line suede skirts, brown velvet mini dresses, sheer polka dot tops. I'm always bragging about their shop to people!

What is your favorite decade for vintage?

If you looked at what I wear, you'd probably say the 90s, but the 1940s are my favorite. The elegance and cut of clothing are so unique and instantly recognizable. I think that decade was very flattering for men and women. And everyone wore a hat - we need to bring that back.

What does the future look like for you, your blog and Blooming Leopold? Besides collaborating with Audrey Grace, of course!

I'm currently putting together a handmade and vintage holiday collection, to debut at the Audrey Grace Boutique and online in late November or early December! Stay tuned.

Thank you, Lauren! Below are photos from Blooming Leopold's AW11 collection. So excited the line will be stocked at Audrey Grace!

Interview with Carrie of WishWishWish!

I am so glad to be in my cozy apartment writing this post! New York City is having a massive snow storm, so strange for October! Anyway, I am sure most of you are familiar with Carrie's blog, WishWishWish. If you don't know it, be sure to check it out here. Carrie lives in my most favorite city in the world, London. She has amazing style and her blog really reflects that. Carrie is a true Audrey Grace girl. She already loves all of the brands I am stocking and also has a passion for vintage! It also seems like she loves her Alexa bag as much as I love mine! Carrie also takes beautiful photos. I loved her coverage of London fashion week, especially the Orla Kiely and Mulberry shows so much. Enjoy my interview with Carrie below.

Tell me a little bit about yourself, your blog and your work.

I'm a vintage loving twenty one year old living in London, blogging about what I get up to and the clothes that I wear!

I see your still in university, what are you studying?

I study Fashion Promotion, so we do everything from styling to creating fashion films! It's very broad.

What do you like about living in London?

It's just so diverse, everything and everyone is on your doorstep. It's a great place to hunt for vintage, and I don't feel like you could ever explore it all! There is always something new to see.

Describe your personal style.

I think I dress a bit like a little girl going to a birthday party! I'm very girly, and love to mix highstreet finds with vintage, and my favourite labels - Family Affairs, TBA, Vivetta..!

Describe an ideal day.

Sunshine, waffles for breakfast, a trip to a vintage market, a picnic, a trip to the cinema followed by seeing my favourite band!

What is your favorite type of tea? (And favorite place to get tea in London)

I don't drink tea too often as I have it with so much sugar that my teeth would fall out if I drank it every day! But I like a regular builders brew as we call it over here!

Who is your style icon?

I have a gazillion pictures of Anna Karina saved on my computer. Isn't she just perfect?

Who are your favorite designers?

I am in love with Vivetta, tba, Family Affairs, Mulberry, Orla Kiely..I love every collection from these talented ladies.

What was it like attending London fashion week? What was your favorite show?

It sounds very glamorous and exciting, but really it's a lot of hard work and the days are very long! My favourite show this year had to be Mulberry! They decorated Claridges ballrooom with hundreds of inflatable animals, it was amazing! Not to mention the pink lemonade they served up.

If you could take me shopping around London for a day where would you take me?

Okay! Firstly we'd have to hit up my favourite department store, Liberty - their stationary room is my favourite, and at this time of year, a trip to their Christmas shop is a must! I'd take you to east London where we'd hunt down the best vintage and visit shops like Caravan where the best homewares are sold. If we went on a Sunday, we'd visit Columbia Rd flower market and battle the crowds to visit the Rob Ryan store, and the wonderful Buddug (http://www.buddug.com/page2.htm).

Who are your favorite artists and photographers?

I'm a huge lover of Paolo Roversi. I love his dark style!

If you could style any celebrity who would it be?

That's a tough one, probably a kick ass girl from a band, like Alison Mosshart.

As a Londoner, are you a fan of Kate Middleton's style? Who are your favorite London girls?

I don't pay too much attention to what the Duchess wears I must admit, but she always looks very well put together. My fave London girl has to be Alexa Chung, obvious choice I know!

What are your favorite books and magazines to look through for inspiration?

My favourite magazines are most definitely Frankie, Lula, and the Japanese magazine Fudge! All such feasts for the eyes!

What are your favorite blogs?

Oh I have too many to list! At the moment, I love Mariell, who has just moved to London. (http://hjartesmil.blogg.no/) Also, Fancy Fine - Ashley's collection of vintage is so enviable! Of course the lovely Sandra of Niotillfem is one of my favourites too.

I see your a big Mulberry fan, like me. I also have their Alexa bag. What are you covering from the AW collection?

Oh my!! I'm absolutely in love with all of their bags featuring the little foxes! I love the the Fox Lock bag. I need it!

What's on your fall wishlist?

The AW Vivetta collection! I absolutely adore the whole thing! I'm also loving cropped trousers right now, so a lovely wine coloured pair wouldn't go amiss!

What are you looking forward to this holiday season?

Big warm scarves, open fires, roast dinners, long socks and family!

Tell me a little bit about your photos. They are beautiful.

I'm really into taking photos lately actually! I've rediscovered my love! It's amazing being able to capture a particular look or feeling in an instant.

What are your favorite films for fashion?

I love all the Orla Kiely lookbooks, they are always so inspiring!

What could you see yourself buying at Audrey Grace?

Everything - I'm not even kidding! I love everything stocked, it's like my dream store!

What does the future look like for you and your blog? Any exciting collaborations or projects?

I do have an exciting collaboration coming up! But I'm afraid all I can say is that it's with one of my favourite independent English labels! Watch this space!

Interview with Ashley Cheeks of It's Okay My Dear!

A few months ago, I discovered an adorable line called It's Okay My Dear. I contacted the designer, the lovely Ashley, and was so excited to know she had created an adorable spring collection! I was aesthetic as I looked through the lookbook, focusing on pieces appropriately named the "Hello Kitty" shorts, and the "Trapeze" top. Even though these items won't be in other stores until the spring, they will be exclusively available at Audrey Grace and I am so excited! Then Ashley mentioned she lived in Jackson for ten years, and I just couldn't believe it! It's basically fate. I am so excited to be stocking a Southern designer in the store! Ashley is based in NYC like me, seems like we have lots in common!

Hi Ashley, tell me a little bit about yourself and your line, It's Okay My Dear. I am originally from New Orleans, but have been living and working in Brooklyn for about 4.5 years. My line is a collection of dresses, and separates. I dabble in hair accessories from time to time. I love mixing vintage style with a modern twist. All of my designs tend to have a nostalgic essence to them, extending to the name of my brand which is from a lullaby my mom wrote for me when I was a baby. 
What did you like about living in Jackson? What were some favorite Jackson spots, and how do you think Audrey Grace will contribute to the retail scene there? My favorite part about living in Jackson was the artist community in Fondren and being surrounded by such talented people like William Goodman, Jason Marlow, & Ginger Williams. I also miss having ladies dance night at the dive bar WC Dons (RIP). Audrey Grace will be a breath of fresh air for Jackson! The brands you've picked up are cult worthy in the blog world so seeing the pieces in person in Jackson would be a dream come true. 
Who is your style icon? That is a hard one to answer.... there are so many stylish ladies & gents around! I would say Anna Karina, Edie Sedgwick, Alexa Chung, and definitely old photos of children in the early 1900s! Kids seem to be able to wear anything in those days and look incredible.  


 

What are your favorite places in Brooklyn? Bakeri is a must. Delicious little treats and they have a heavenly oasis in the back with a small pond. Hotel Delmano for cocktails... I wish their main parlor was my private kitchen. The interior is very historically beautiful. 
Who are your favorite designers? Definitely Balenciaga throughout the 1950s/60s and I love Luella. I also tend to like particular collections of designers.... always depends on the story they are telling. I used to watch the Chanel Couture SS2006/07 show continuously. The first time I ever saw it I cried. My favorite era's of style would be children's wear in the early 1900s and women's wear in 1940s-60s
If you could visit any place in the world where would it be? I would visit Paris again, and stay try to stay as long possible until they kicked me out! I'm also dying to visit Berlin. 
What are your favorite Audrey and Grace films? For Audrey... how do choose just one! The scene in How to Steal A Million when she is wearing the black lace eye mask and her sparkly eye shadow glitters beneath always has stuck with me. All the Givenchy in Funny Face is so beautiful and I always just loved the first scene in the movie with all the different colored doors at the Magazine house. For Grace, To Catch A Thief! The lighting in the fireworks scene is so beautiful.
 Which celebrity would you love to see wear your line? Sooo many cute ladies out there! Carey Mulligan, Zooey Deschanel, and Alexa Chung all wear clothes so beautifully. I also am getting a little crazy over Elle Fanning. She is adorable! 
What could you see yourself buying at Audrey Grace? I'm sure I would want to buy one of everything!! I love purchasing artwork so maybe a piece from one of your commissioned illustrators! 

It's Okay My Dear Lookbook- Trapeze top and Hello Kitty shorts, available at Audrey Grace Boutique!

                                                     

 

Thank you so much, Ashley! 

I have had such a busy, exciting week! I visited the Jill Stuart and Sretsis showrooms, picked up my orders from Rachel Antonoff, and Zoe Twitt, I was also contacted by designer Samantha Pleet and I am excited to be stocking her fall line in the shop! It's so dreamy! I also visited Alexandra Grecco and got to see her new collection up close, and discuss some new custom pieces which is so exciting! I also did an interview for a magazine today, which will be printed in December. I'm doing the shoot for it Sunday, I can't wait! I've also kept busy watching films at the New York Film Festival. I went to the premiere of Melancholia, and Kirsten Dunst, Charlotte Gainsbourg (two very stylish ladies) and the dashing Alexander Skarsgaard were all there! Such a beautiful film, I hope Kirsten gets some recognition because she truly deserves it. That's all lovelies! I hope you are enjoying my series of interviews, I am having so much fun with it!

Interview with Melissa Coker from Wren

Keira Knightley in Wren SS12 at The Toronto Film Festival 2011

Hello lovelies! I had the pleasure of interviewing the amazing designer Melissa Coker of Wren. Wren has some awesome fans including Keira Knightley, Nora Zehetner, Michelle Williams, Alexa Chung, Tennessee Thomas and Bryce Dallas Howard. During fashion week for SS12, Melissa showed a short film she collaborated on with stylist Leith Clark and director Gia Coppola. Wow, such a great combination! More on the video here: Gia Coppola for Wren SS12. I am also happy to announce that Audrey Grace will be stocking stock select pieces of Wren. Check out more at their website here. 

Alexa Chung and Tennessee model Wren Holiday 2009

Hello Melissa! Tell me a little bit about you, your line Wren and your inspirations.

Wren is feminine and classic with a twist.  It's about a world filled with humor and charm. My inspirations are always a little 60s, a little nouvelle vague.

Where did you grow up and where are you based now?

I grew up in Lake Forest, Illinois (where I'm writing you from now!) I live in Los Angeles now after 10 years in New York.

Tell me about your upcoming SS12 collection, and your collaboration with Leith Clark and Gia Coppola? 

SS12 was inspired by a trip to Japan -- a huge trend in all of the stores was classic Americana: bandanna prints, vintage western influences, red, white & blue.  It's an idealized, romanticized version of Americana reflected back to us. As for the film, Leith & I had been discussing doing a film for a while.  This year it all came together with Gia as our perfect third.

Do you feel like the girls who have previously modeled the collections, such as Tennessee Thomas and Alexa Chung, are the essential Wren girls? Who do you design for and who do you see wearing your clothing?

Definitely -- fun girls who have their own sense of style, who wear things in their own way and have a bit of a tomboy's touch. 

Have you always worked in fashion?

In high school, I worked at Neiman Marcus.  In college, I worked at W and Helmut Lang.  My first job out of school was at Vogue, working for Andre Leon Talley.  So, I'd say, definitely, yes.

Tell me a little bit about your fall and holiday collections- select pieces of which my boutique, Audrey Grace will be stocking. 

I was watching Mad Men for the first time when I was designing fall.  Late 50s / early 60s meets today. Holiday was an extension of that, combined with luxe fabrications like silk velvet and hand embroidered sequins.

Who is your style icon?

Duchess of Windsor, Andy Warhol, Anna Karina, Julie Christie.

Which celebrity would you love to dress?

Carey Mulligan is pretty cute!

What are your favorite Audrey (Hepburn) and Grace (Kelly) films and/or specific looks they have worn. 

Breakfast at Tiffany's for sure.  I've been pretty obsessed with the film for quite awhile (I even had the collector's box set with script as  child!)  Audrey Hepburn in that film, in particular, was a huge influence style wise for me growing up. Grace Kelly, I've always especially loved the photos of her in her own life, after the films. Grace Kelly on her wedding day: flawless.  

Describe an ideal day for you.

Spending time with friends & my cat, Pepper.

What can we expect in the future from Wren?
More films, more collaborations, more product lines.

Wren paint stroke dress from AW10, will be available at Audrey Grace!

Ale of Rosaspina Vintage: Illustrations for Audrey Grace!

Here are the adorable illustrations the lovely Ale of Rosaspina Vintage has created for the boutique. The top one is of Alexa Chung and the bottom is of Audrey. These illustrations will be printed on numerous items that will be for sale in the boutique- I am thinking mugs, totes, maybe even t-shirts and some prints will be available. Ale is also creating illustrations of Kirsten Dunst and Tennessee Thomas- two style favorites of mine, so I can't wait to see those as well! Oh and check out her lovely blog here: (http://rosaspinavintage.blogspot.com) 

I am back home in Mississippi after being away for so long. I plan on posting everyday now. I got home to a huge amount of packages for the boutique and everything is just so perfect and adorable. I have a photo shoot for the shop on Friday, so I can't wait to share with you some of the things the shop will be selling!
