business ownin’ ladies

Well, faithful readers, I hope for your sake you are in Cincinnati. Mostly because I just became the owner of some of the best vintage clothes I’ve seen in a looooong time. I had a fantastic shopping day today. Maya and I hit up a rummage sale, and then after I closed up, I went and got some truly incredible vintage pieces from a girl leaving the country. And not just womens’ stuff either! I absolutely cannot WAIT to get it all priced and in the store!

Also, tonight was the opening of a very cool new space, Fabricate. It is a gallery, boutique and an arts and crafts supply store; and every month the gallery will feature a new exhibition, which will open alongside a band and/or a DJ. I stopped by the opening tonight for a minute, and I was really impressed. I’m so glad to have a shop like this in Cincy! Go check it out! It’s in Northside at 4016 Hamilton Ave (inside Red Polly).

Today I debuted a dress I got a few months ago, but never got around to wearing it. I love the zipper roses, but I’m not wild about the bottom. I’m thinking about cutting it off and making it a tent style top. Hmmm… I have to say, as hard as I am on tights, these have held up remarkably well. I can’t wait to buy more, but when I went to the H&M opening here, they didn’t really have any. Maya was looking pretty darn cute herself, so I grabbed her when she stopped in the store. Now we just need to get one of us with our fabulous other business partner, Dana!
