In other REAL news, I may be taking on a partner of sorts. A reader contacted me last month and told me that she had seen me around town and happened to stumble onto my blog afterward and realized that she recognized me from our chance encounters! She said she was interested in starting an etsy shop or learning more about thrifting and vintage and stuff like that and asked if I had any advice. After a nice phone conversation, we met for lunch last Friday and sat for 3 hours talking about all kinds of things! It was wonderful! By the end of the lunch we devised a sort of plan: She would come to my house every Friday and I would teach her everything I know about shopping, selling, styling, listing, photographing, and whatever else, and in exchange she will work for me to keep the etsy shop consistently updated and stocked (I will also pay her a per listing rate once we get going). We start this Friday. Its great timing since I have been working and focusing on this new styling business I am starting (have now had two clients and #3 is this Saturday!) but still wanted to continue the vintage selling. (Oh and in case you were asking, all the white dresses from two posts back, MIGHT be sold nearer to spring and summer. I just have not decided which one I am keeping yet.)
Jacket, boots, clutch: thrifted
Stole: vintage
Skirt, tank: AA

What an exciting endeavor! It's always so wonderful to meet new people and find a friendship/partnership amongst them. I'm loving this journey you're taking us on!
Sheesh, you are gorgeous. I love that outfit-- the furry collar to that amazing mini.
Sounds like a great partnership! I can't wait to see how many more great ideas you have up your sleeve, and I'd love to hear more about your styling business. Whatever you can reveal without giving up your trade secrets would be so fun to hear. :)
Love the fur!

the stole/jacket combo is fab. i love that jacket!
When I got into dexter I watched all the seasons really quickly and felt really heartbroken at the end of the fourth season. It felt so real. I understand!
I am in loooove with that jacket, so amazing with the fur.

That's great news about having an Etsy partner of sorts!
This look is beautiful--I really like how the pattern in the jacket is picked up by the hem in the dress.
Oh, and I have come across books that have made me cry. Sophie's Choice was in that category...I had to put the book down for several days and sort through what I had just read. It had so captured a serious moral dilemma and I needed to sort that out before I could read further.
Let's get serious... nobody can wear southwest inspired pieces as well as you. You make me want to run out and buy a bunch of turquoise and geometric prints.
All the best in your newest endeavors. It sounds like a very exciting opportunity for you!
That lady is sooo lucky to learn from the expert!!! I wish I lived nearby...! Good luck with your new partnership!! You're gorgeous dear! - chic and simple. I love the soft colours and how you mix them! Have a lovely day!
You have a great blog. Great style. I am hooked to it, seeing the very first time. Its like love at first site.
Christina, you look ridiculously glamorous here. Reminds me of an (insert appropriate by-gone era here) movie star :)
I hope that made sense :/
So glad I found this blog! Love the thrifted items and the feather extensions! I just got some as well and can't wait to blog about it!
Great photographs of real beauty!!
I love your jacket! I've actually found something similar in a thrift shop in Sweden. It's the same pattern but in all nude colors and I adore it.
I'm a true follower to your blog now! :)
Sometimes the emotions I have from fiction (books, tv, movies) are stronger than the ones I have in real life. The characters become real to me, so I know where you're coming from. Of course, the PMS doesn't help. My fiance wrote a videogame and I played it and he was happy when the poignant ending made me cry, but I didn't tell him it might've been because I was extra hormonal. It made grown men cry, too, so maybe it wasn't just that.
In another, much more shallow subject, I am ridiculously jealous of that coat. Wow, it's gorgeous! And I've been meaning to comment that those feathers in your hair are fabulous, too.
I LOVE that coat! Style Interplay
Wow! I came here upon a fellow bloggers recommendation [Kiran, her comment above]... and I completely understand why she is so taken with you. You are rather splendid!
Your phtographs are superb and I very much adore your sartorial splendour.
ooh good luck on the new endeavour !
also, that coat is far too amazing. i can't even handle how perfect it is.
that coat and stole are incredible and the combination even more!
