Popko Shop

I always love visiting the Popko displays at StART on the Street! Their display is very well designed and kinda reminds me of my childhood science fair…only more beautiful! Rest assured no butterfiles were harmed in the making of her jewelry! Stop by her booth on June 3rd to see where the wings come from.

Viola Lovely

Viola Lovely is one of those names I heard over and over again in the Boston fashion scene. But it never really sunk in till my fashion sole-mate started working there. When Janine started to describe the store and told me the owner was from my home town, I knew I had to visit soon!
I wish I had planed my vist around the shop pups schedule. I would have to loved to meet those weimaraners I see hamming it up on Instagram and Facebook. But even without pups the shop was every thing I dreamed of and more, take a peek for yourself!

And a few from their Concord shop:

The Dogs of Haberdash

Yesterday was the first SOWA Open Market of the season for our Mobile Shop. It was so nice to see all our Boston friends and their pups out and about enjoying the nice weather! There is something about the Haberdash that dogs love, maybe they think it is a glamourous dog house for them? I thought it would be cute to document all our puppy visitors for our Facebook page. Here are some of my favorites!

The Dogs of Haberdash:

DIY: Colored Hair Tips

punky — Wed, 11 Apr 2012 20:50:24 +0000

When we were in Austin my friend Julie had just picked up some cool Hair Chalk to try during Texas Style Council. As you can see, it worked awesome on her hair but I was worried my hair would be to dark and didn’t feel like wasting the $12. So when I saw this chalk pack on sale at the craft store, I decided to give it a go!

I used the Nicole brand Chalk Pastels from ACMoore Crafts Store: 36 colors for $5

Wet small section of hair and rub with wax pastel to get desired amount of color:

Let dry, then set color with a curling iron and it washes out the next day!

punky — Tue, 10 Apr 2012 23:25:12 +0000

We are super excited to announce our calendar of Clothing Swaps! That’s right, we are swapping in Boston, once a month for the rest of the year! The Swapaholics have always wanted to have a home base for our events but, we never found the perfect match. That changed when we discovered 40Berkeley in the Southend! We instantly fell in love with their beautiful courtyard and the buildings vintage charm. We never wanted to leave…so we didn’t. Save the dates!

P.S. Tickets are already half sold out for our April Clothing Swap event, so hurry on over!

Photo Progression

punky — Mon, 09 Apr 2012 17:14:29 +0000

Last night, while I was trying to get my digital life organized, I realized there was a progression to my outfit photos. I was surprised at how far I’ve come with outfit photos on this blog. It feels really good that this site has been such a huge influence on growing and developing my creative side.

The growing process:
2005 -2006 I only took photos indoors, most with my head cropped out.
2007 I started to take the photos in better light, mostly outdoors in my backyard.
2008-2009 I started to seek out pretty locations purposely to take a nice photo.
2010 I started to lean more towards editorial photos, where the landscape and photographer is just as important as the outfit.

Here are some of my favorites of this learning progress, from a trip Vermont in 2009.
