score!


Picked up this handwoven throw at "The" thrift store. Not sure how much it cost. The nun there always just gives me some seemingly arbitrary total when I check out with her. This + a spool of ribbon + 2 peices of fabric = $7.

You know me. I love anything folksy, retro, handmade, traditional, strange. So the thrift store is the only place I really enjoy shopping. Now the mainstream has picked up on these asthetics over the past 5-6 years, I know. But yeah, I guess this southwest native theme is in right now....huh, news flash.....And you thought you were reading a style blog!

No, but really, I think I did know that it was hot. Maybe subconsciously when I designed the Kaia dress. There's a little more of that theme in the collection I'm putting together right now.

  2. Hmm... I'm very secretive when it comes to my thrift haunts. If you come find me at Art vs Craft I'll tell you in person.
