Behind the Scenes

I took some behind the scenes photos of the retro fitness shoot I styled for Shoestring Magazine last night. It’s really amazing how many weeks of planning and people it takes to create that perfect photo that gets used in the article. I’ll let you know when Shoestring is ready to unveil the issue.

Florida or Bust

punky — Fri, 26 Jun 2009 16:26:16 +0000

For years I have heard that Florida has the best vintage, yet every time I travel there I return empty handed. I thought it was just me, but Rhiannon had mentioned to me that she had the same experience. If any of you have some secret Florida vintage shopping locations that us nonresidents are not aware of please spill it.

With exception to a few antique shops on Dearborn in Olde Englewood and this amazing vintage jewelry booth inside the Dome Flea Market. Shopping was a bust.

I did manage to pick up this ring as a little vacation souvenir:

Sew What

punky — Thu, 25 Jun 2009 16:43:11 +0000

With all the Haberdash opening, new car purchasing, hamster funerals, vacationing and photo shoot styling going on around here, I completely forgot about this event. I hope you don’t already have plans for Saturday.

Sew What?! is a fashion, art, shopping event featuring a Swap-o-rama-rama. The event will include vendors which produce handmade jewelry, accessories, clothing and home goods. Artists will be performing live during the event with an opportunity for the public to receive custom art. This event will also include a Swap-o-rama-rama which is a community clothing swap and do-it-yourself workshop in which attendees explore creative reuse through the recycling of used clothing.

The Films

I saw these guys a few months back while they were on tour with Butch Walker. They were adorable, my friends and I planned to kidnap them and keep them in our pockets forever. A few weeks later Kyle gave me there cd and I cant stop listening to them. Check them out here.

Flower Power

I’m still madly in love with flower prints. Last year it was tiny flower prints, this year the bigger the better. Some 80’s puff sleeves never hurt anyone either.

Wearing: Dress $4 at Alexis Grace, Hair clip and belt both from Forever21

Butterfly effect

I picked up this vintage butterfly shirt at Alexis Grace Consignment today. I wanted to do a quick outfit post with it before I head to Florida. Enjoy the rain New England, I will be thinking of you while sitting on the powder sand of Siesta Key. See you Monday.

Dive Right In

The Haberdash Grand Opening at The Dive last night was a success. Despite torrential down pours, the turnout was great. After all the work we did I just couldn’t wait any longer for people to see the shop. I got some really great feedback, everyone loved the shop and even the guys said it was pretty rad and although they wished I carried more men’s stuff (which I work on). The Jewelry and bags sold really well I’ll have to do some serious restocking before the next event. Thank you for your support Worcester!

Logo Bags

punky — Mon, 08 Jun 2009 15:02:08 +0000

Thanks to my friend Derek over at Fire Bad. On Friday I had the opportunity to silk screen the Haberdash logo on some reusable shopping bags. Ok, I didn’t really do much except drink coffee, giggle with Nicole, take photos and pretend to be quality control, but still. There are only 50 of them and I decided to just give them to friends and family as thank you gifts for listening to me blab about this project for months. But, maybe we will give a few away on Twitter. What do you think, do you love them?

If you are in Massachusetts and need anything silk screened check out The Silk Screen Warehouse on 50 Suffolk St. Worcester.

Canal Love

punky — Wed, 03 Jun 2009 13:58:16 +0000

The Canal District Swap went swimmingly. With over 150 attendees and about 20 bags of clothes collected for charity. The swappers took advantage of the great deals the local businesses were offering. I think everyone was pretty pleased with the event. I have to thank Nostalgia Exchange, Worcester Magazine and Derek Ring for helping me host such a lovely day. Also, my friends that showed up early to help sort though hundreds of bags of clothing. I’m going to make it up to you all one ice cream at a time.

See all the Photos.
