Trip to Target

I had to run out to Target tonight to get two baby gifts and a watering can... and I'm so happy. Not because of anything I bought, but because (out of the blue) my dear cashier (whom I never saw before) told me she liked my bag. I told her I made it and the sweet girl asked me if I made… Continue

Steampunk to Gothic Lolita

Whew. It seems like fifteen minutes but it's been over two hours that I sat down to write my daily blog post. I started out searching for Victorian fashion and steampunk style and ended up back with Japanese Street fashion, the designer Mana, and Elegant Gothic Lolita fashion. Whew. If you have a minute hop on over to http://www.allchic.com and read. I added some interesting links for more exploration.

Fun with Flickr

I just meant to be there for ten minutes because I'm in the middle of folding about six loads of laundry, but I ended up spending over an hour on Flickr. I set up a new account for myself and posted some photos, but then I took a little tour of Europe flicking through photos of Paris and Prague.

Sunday Blog Feature

I've started a new Sunday feature on my blog at http://www.allchic.com. I'm planning on highlighting one or two Etsy sellers that represent modern "Street Style" each Sunday. If you have an Etsy shop that specializes clothing or accessories that you think fit the bill, contact me at cath@allchic.com or comment here on Indiepublic. Check out today's featured sellers - Moop and Wildewear - at http://www.allchic.com. Thank you and have a great weekend!

At 6:33pm on April 16, 2008, Vintage Rehab said…: I wanted to let you know about my SALE...Mother's Day is just around the corner. A locket is not merely a piece of jewelry, but an heirloom, a keepsake, and a constant reminder of your loved ones. Last year, my siblings and I gave my mom a locket necklace and put photos of us inside. It is very sentimental to her and will likely be passed onto generations to come. Since then, I started collecting vintage lockets and rework them into one-of-a-kind necklaces. Check out my store: www.vintagerehab.etsy.com! I hope you find the perfect Mother's Day gift.
Handmade with love,
Stacey
