Quick pictures from the Oscar Tweet Up, which was my first visit to a Speakeasy. Shoestring and Fafarazzi sure know how to throw a party. I wish I could get all dressed up to watch TV and play on Twitter every night.
The official pictures are here.
My friend Cassie and I attended a Boston Magazine party at The Ames Hotel last night. I pulled this dress out of Haberdash last minute because I was sick of everything in my closet. I wish I took a picture of the back. It has cute purple bows all the way down the back like the leopard Rodate dress. I also pulled out my DIY spike bag and stud jacket that Ive hadn’t worn since November. I was kinda over doing the DIY for a while, it needed a break.
I received the best text message last night while I was up north visiting my mom. The message said “your magazine is out”. Mom and I immediately jumped in the car and headed to the bookstore. FYI: Running around a bookstore looking for a magazine to read about yourself is hugely narcissistic. But having your mom be so proud that she shows everyone in the store makes it OK.
I’m super excited to share these behind the scenes photos from a secret photo shoot I did with Boston Magazine back in December. It was such a pleasure to work with Eric Kulin and Ennis Styling. It is unbelievable how much work and talent is needed to create that one perfect picture that used in a magazine. I hope you will pick up the February issue and see the full page feature on Haberdash.
Reposting this event for my friends at Artifaktori.
Join us this Wednesday, 9-11pm, to celebrate the American Repertory Theater’s opening of Gatz, with the Weekly Dig over at Upstairs on the Square! In theme with Gatz, a touring show based on The Great Gatsby, the ladies of LUPEC (Ladies United for the Preservation of Endangered Cocktails) will be mixing 1920’s inspired cocktails and Artifaktori, Poor Little Rich Girl and Vintage Revenge will show off glamorous deco fashions. Come by for a savory sip and socializing with a costumed crowd.
I have another great link for your RSS feed. My Secret Boston promises to remind us of Boston’s hidden and not so hidden gems. My super fashionable friend Cassie is the resident fashion blogger over there, so rest assured you are in good hands.

P.S. You might want to pick out a fabulous outfit.
On Sunday at the Design Hive I had the pleasure of setting up next to Monique Rancourt. I was blown away her with work. It was original and tough but still super classy. She mentioned she teaches metal smith classes. But I’m pretty sure with all the polyester I wear I am banned from it. I am definitely saving my pennies for that bracelet and hoping to bump in to her at the next Design Hive on December 6th.
Artifaktori’s Vintage Dress Up event was last night, I had spent the whole day working at the Design Hive, so I was really looking forward to some relaxing girl time. The dress up party was at Upstairs on the Square (which I am now in love with). Artifaktori even dressed the Jazz band that played last night. There was lots of vintage lover mingling, classy drinks and even more classy dancing, perfect end to a busy weekend.
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.
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:
