Busy day, I’m getting ready for the Design Hive market that is tomorrow, getting the house ready for trick or treaters and trying to decide on a costume for the Lucky Dogs Halloween party. Everyone brings their A- game to this party, But its really hard to bartend in a costume, I’m leaning towards Betsey Johnson or a 80’s prom queen.

These pictures are from yesterdays trip to Plymouth.

wearing: vintage boots, h&m leggings, diy shorts, f21 top, thrifted sweater worn upsidedown, and DIY stud vintage bag

So last night I met Kyle in Watertown for Dinner and then headed over to The Paradise because we had tickets to see La Roux (which I was super excited for) only to find out the show was postponed,  bummer. When Kyle suggested Newbury Street for shopping (I knew he had a ulterior motive, like video games). But whatevs, I figured I could stop in and visit my friends from The Closet. Nope, they had just closed for the night. Tuesday= total bust.

This morning I signed on to flickr to see what my friends are up to and look what haunts me…

Photos of  Chanel, Westwood and to die for boots that The Closet added yesterday in to the shop and I was right outside the door…FML.

This past Sundays Sowa was our busiest event to date. Thank you for stopping by to say hello. It was so nice to meet some more Twitter friends. And to hear people talking about the Haberdash only to turn around and see strangers. It such a surreal feeling. I’m sad the Sowa season is over, but I am also pretty excited for a nice warm space in the Design Hive.

How do you like my max costume? My friend Nicole made it. Life is awesome when you surround your self with talented people.

and nothing blue.

These are some of my favorite things this week:

pink blazer I stole from the Hab & vintage purse gift from Kyle

70’s bracelet, gift from my aunt Alice who always reads my blog (hi Alice)

vintage hair bow from Blackstone Vin..I can never spell that word

earrings from Alexis Grace

DIY stud bag

Dolce & Gabbana belt: gift from my favorite Closet employee

thrifted vintage boots

crazy tiger scarf from Alexis Grace

thrifted crochet vest and snake necklace from Alexis Grace

vintage bucket bag, I also stole out of my store…oops

and this T.J.Maxx jacket that lasted 3 minutes in my house before I covered it with stud’s.

If you follow me or the Hab on twitter you might have heard a thing or two about us launching a new website soon. Kyle has been busy building the Haberdash a winter web home ( a fancy pants online shop). So in preparation I asked (bribed by promising him a date with a pretty lady friend) Adam to come and take some photos for the future website. Here are some of my favorites:

You can catch the Haberdash here:

October 25th: SOWA Market in the South End

November 1st: Design Hive Market In Cambridge

Also…if you have shopped the store and would like give me some feedback, we are on Yelp.

Ok, definitely tonight. Kyle is taking me to see Nicole Atkins and the Avett Brothers tonight…Cant wait.

I think I have a new favorite blazer, complete with huge shoulder pads and velor, It’s super fun and surprisingly warm, not like that would stop me from wearing it all winter. And how lovely is this Frock bag? My friend Nicolé owns Frock and we are trying to make room for some pieces in the Haberdash.

Here is a totally unrelated, but adorable picture of Penny. Ahh, They grow up so fast.

Wearing : Vintage Blazer, Vintage dress, Target leggings, Vintage Boots and Frock Handbag

I’m purposely slacking on the Etsy updates, because I kind wanna keep all of these pieces for myself.  I suppose I could let a few go up today….maybe.

My store will be open this Saturday in the Canal District Worcester. We will be open right outside Alexis Grace on Harrison Street. Also the Lucky Dog is sponsoring  a Huge Music Fest that will be taking over the parking lot on Green Street. Flock, Sam James, Dave Rivers Group and Danny Dark will all be playing!

I had a pretty low key weekend…But I documented it in photos which makes it look exciting for the inter webs.

I attended a baby shower for my friends adopted rescue pup Paris:

Finished some more DIY projects:

Made a new display for Haberdash out of a broken piece of a shoe factory machine:

Broke my beloved laptop and picked up a Netbook:

got some pretty sweet hand me downs:

Still wearing the crap out of silver and turquoise. I remember first falling in love with turquoise. It was at a flea market my mother would drag  me to in New Hampshire (because they served beer). The place was over flowing with silver jewelry and Nascar items. I’m glad I didn’t take a liking to both.

My friends and I being adorable on Channel 7 news (video may take a second to load):

Or watch it here.

The other day while looking for puppy photos of Emma on flickr, I came across some outfit photo from 2004, and quickly had a embarrassing realization that I have been narcissistic long before the internet encouraged you to be. Before Lookbook, Chictopia, Wardrobe Remix and back to the early days of My Style Diary. The thought of that makes me feel really old, but grateful to have seen this evolution of style communities. I wonder if the newer bloggers have never even heard of My Style Diary and have any idea that it was the pioneer in this “what are you wearing” culture of ours.

In honor of M.S.D. five year anniversary I thought it would be fun to do five years of outfits. Here we go…don’t laugh.
