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.
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
November 21: Craft Fair, Bedford, Middlesex Community College campus

I brought Haberdash to Sowa this weekend, I had been planning to do more dates at Sowa, but whenever they get close I chicken out. I get really nervous sometimes about all the press the store is getting. I’m afraid its going to be a disappointment for people. I’m like a over protective mom that wont let their kid play with the neighbors.
I had such a blast yesterday, I was in the trailer setting up when I heard a familiar voice, my friend Nicolé was setting up next to me. The rest of the day is a blur it went by so fast. My friends stopped by, I played with some cute puppies, sold my three favorite items in my store, cried a little (just kidding Amanda), Then it was time to go home and have homemade apple pie and ice cream with some of my favorite people.
The Haberdash photo shoot I did with Bay State Parent Magazine is in this months issue. I’m so proud of all the love Haberdash is receiving. We only opened our doors five times and I have been completely overwhelmed by the positive feedback. I am currently working on adding a few more stops for fall and paying the Dive and Dame another visit. As for the winter…The Hab will have a online store at HaberdashVintage.com but also might be able to remain open…but I’ll save all those details for later!
Have a wonderfull weekend!
The Haberdash had a nifty write up on Tea Party Boston this week. I think getting featured online is like getting picked first for the dodge ball team in gym class (not that I know what that feels like). But it sure nice to be the cool kid for once.
Read it here.
I have been avoiding all adult responsibilities this weekend, and I plan to get away with it!
My friend Duncan took some photos of Haberdash while we were all up at the Tweed River Music Fest. Im so in love with this photo I had to share it right away.
The South Street Block Party was super good times. Thank You, Dame for inviting The Haberdash out to JP. It was great to meet some of my internet friends in person and catch up with some of my favorite Boston ladies. Such a wonderful day. Thanks everyone.
The Haberdash is now on Facebook if you would like to become a fan.
