I was planning to post this a few weeks ago before I left for Vacationland, but ran out of time. This summer has been filled with so many good things for The Haberdash and The Swapaholics, I almost forgot I had a style blog. But hopefully as outdoor market season slows down, I will have more fashion things to share with you. Anyways, last month I had the pleasure of hanging out with the crew from Boldfacers while we filmed a little video about the Haberdash.

You can watch my silly interview with Boldfacers here.

The Haberdash and I attended our first Sowa Market of the season yesterday! I couldn’t have asked for a better day, it was filled with friends, sunshine and extremely creative people.

Our booth:

my talented neighbor, Lauren Blais

My favorite booth at the market yesterday, Chubbikins (click Dance Party)

My friends kept me well feed with apple breads and italian ice all day, love them!

I also found out at the market, that my shop was in yesterdays New York Times…so awesome:

The month of May is just flying by for me. The Swapaholics hosted a huge Swap last weekend (the pictures are coming and they will be amazing). My friends and I had our first Puppreneurs play date (pups of entrepreneurs, Melissa made that up…clever huh). We took a trip to the Brimfield Flea Market to visit our friends from Artifaktori. This weekend I also had my first experience with a psychic (who said I will own a successful creative business…yay), went to a wedding and the Haberdash attended its first Worcester Arts Festival…FUN!
I snapped a few photos of this blur of a month:

Limbo Fest was this past weekend and I was all excited to dress in my best music festival outfit…Then I remembered it was 80 degrees and I was working the festival not hanging out. So this was my second choice (less fussy) outfit.

My friends and I attended Wine Riot on Friday in search of stylish peeps to hand over a $100 Gift Card for Haberdash Vintage to. Well, I guess also to drink some Wine and learn how to saber champagne of course.

Our favorite outfit of the night was understated but completely adorable, Liza Davidov’s Bike dress was the cuetest thing we saw all night! We loved her!

Myself and the winner of the best outfit contest, Virginia:

Who should get 2 tickets to Wine Riot and a chance to win the $100 Haberdash Gift Card?

I cant even begin to tell you what a crazy week this has been.

The Swapaholic’s website launched a week ago and has had a whirlwind of press opportunity’s since. I don’t think Melissa and I could spend any more time on the phone giggling like school girls about how lucky we are.

The Haberdash is not doing to bad either, she scored herself a photo shoot with New York Times Style. I have been a nervous wreck all week. I have a few behind the scene photos, but check The Swapaholic’s and Haberdash Vintage for the full recaps.

Swap we filmed for the CBS Network:

Thanks for the photos Adam.

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.

I’m kinda late to this Happy New Year thing. I’ve spent most of 2010 in my pajamas drinking tea with a yucky head cold. Although it did give me a little time to work on the Haberdash website (that will be fully stocked for February 1st)!  We will also be hosting giveaways with some super rad bloggers and offering up discount codes all month long, follow us on Facebook and  Twitter for the latest updates. Oh and Happy belated New Year!

I posted this over at Haberdash Vintage, but it’s super cool and worth a mention. We are in NEET Magazine this month, Which is a huge deal to me. Some of the coolest people on the inter-webs have been featured in NEET.

The Haberdash online vintage store is suppose to be ready to launch any day now…In preparation I’ve been testing out some of the faux furs that will be in the store. You know, quality control type stuff…right? OK my living room is filled with vintage coats and I cant help my self.

Wearing:
Vintage Faux Fur Coat from Haberdash Vintage, Dress From Modcloth, Tights, Over the Knee Boots from Dolce Vita, DIY Vintage Purple Leather Stud Bag and Vintage Snake Necklace

The Haberdash received a special invitation to vend at this years MCC’s Craft Fair. Which was very sweet gesture. This will be The Haberdash’s last event till spring. But we do have a sweet storage space in the Canal District that will allow us to be open by appointment  all winter long. Hope you can make it.

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.
