In this blog post you will get a glimpse of pieces in my closet, learn where I found them

My name is Kristin. Welcome to my closet!

Sunday I took a short road trip to Longaberger Homestead. My grandma had Longaberger baskets all over the house when I was little. It is a brand I grew up around and learned to appreciate. I am currently obsessed with their red picnic basket. In the beginning of the summer, I put Longaberger Homestead on my to do list of places to visit. I am glad I finally got to see the property because it is truly a beautiful place. I took these photos on the property. My look was inspired by the 60's Mod looks seen on the runway for fall 2014. This is what I wore.

My name is Kristin. Welcome to my closet!

Saturday was a blast! I spent the first part of my day in Lake Snowden, Ohio at the Ohio Pawpaw Festival. I learned about the forgotten North American Pawpaw fruit. I tasted many pawpaw dishes and products including pawpaw beer. I made friends with a alpaca and listened to some great bands. I picked up a few souvenirs like fresh pawpaws, a personalized leather bracelet and a recycled bird feed tote. Then I spent the evening in Bremen, Ohio by a bonfire and riding through the woods in a Razor ATV. My look was determined by the cool weather and the fact that we were headed to the country. It was a little glam and a lot country. It was 'Country Glam'! This is what I wore.

My name is Kristin. Welcome to my closet!

It has been a while since either of us has posted and the summer is coming to a close. My apologies. I have had a very busy summer exploring the city with my nephew and the state with my big guy. Honestly, I have been more comfortable than stylish in most occasions and when I did get dressed, I was so in the moment that I didn't take the time to pose for photos. Well, this past Friday I went to the Fashion Meets Music Fest in Columbus. With the season changing, I took advantage of the clearance rack at Forever 21 and put together a quick outfit. Literally, I was in and out in less than twenty minutes. For the Fest I wanted to be stylish ad fun since it was both a fashion and music festival. The shirt and skirt was around $19 including tax. This is what I came up with.

Shirt: Forever 21 clearance rack $7

Parrot Skirt:  Forever 21 clearance rack $10

Belt: 80's vintage (I added the red wooden bead)

Lace Bra: Victoria's Secret

Ear cuff: My late father's jewelry box

Necklace: Vintage

Bracelets:hautelook.com

Sunglasses: D&G Aviators

Handbag: Thrift Store

Shoes: Believe it or not I am wearing Naturalizer slide on wedges!

Be blessed! Be free! Be fashionable!

Kris,

Fashion Meets Music Fest Highlights!

I really enjoyed the Festival. I love fashion and music both so much that the idea of this festival was a dream. I have to say while the festival was entertaining, it fell a little short for me. I spent all of Friday there and felt the festival could have been better organized. Maybe I had high hopes. Since the Festival is very new, I expect that it will only get better. The positives were learning of the different fashion groups in the city along with the designers that utilize their resources. One of my favorite showcases was Torn Angel which was a part of the Alternative Fashion Mob showcase on Friday. The music portion was even better, I saw Michelle Williams and was so enamored by her.  I have always been a fan of Destiny's Child, specifically Kelly and Beyonce but I became a fan of Michelle that day. She was charming, sweet and felt so relatable. She even walked into the crowd where she shook hands, hugged and took selfies with the crowd. I left wanting to purchase her album. It comes out this month on the 9th.
