After spending hours at Lemon Frog Shop we headed over to a non-vintage boutique the Mohawk General Store, so named because it is located on Mohawk street- and no there are no Cigar-box Indian statues a-la-Seinfeld located outside. The shop itself is very simple - it has an understated design element, as do most of the items they carry- all beautiful and well-made, like Rachel Comey, Repetto, and Cynthia Vincent.
I manged to find an item I have been looking for, for quite sometime - a soft jersey striped mini dress- and it was on sale. Even better!
By this time in our day most shops in the area were closing so we headed off to Melrose to a shop I've been dying to go to - Creatures of Comfort.
They were having a huge sale on some of my favorite designers, A.P.C., Rachel Comey, Alexander Wang.
But of course my size was sold out in all of the items that I wanted to try on. It's okay though I still love you Creatures of Comfort and I'll be back- I'm sure of it!
We then stopped into the Kid Robot store. I love this place. Cool Japanese toys, what's not to love?
I did break my 1 item rule here (kinda) I bought a gift for Mario and then, this...
Cat Holga Camera! CANNOT wait to use it!
For fun, here is what I wore to work today. (Sorry for the horrid pictures)
Top and Pencil Skirt vintage. Cardigan from J. Crew, Shoes from DSW?

I adore your entire work outfit! THIS is the kind of thing I should put together for teaching.
ReplyDeleteYour trip to LA sounds like such fun. There is an overnight train from Albuquerque to Los Angeles--- I think it would be fun to get a sleeper car and make the journey.
How cute is that camera!
ReplyDeleteThe blouse is beautiful! The fact that they make a cat Holga is pretty funny!
ReplyDeleteMy god, the camera has a winking kitty face on it, how unbelievably cute is that?!
ReplyDeleteI love the striped dress, yay for sales! It's going to be so many adorable outfits.
