Kris's Closet

Inspired by some great bloggers, my partner and I decided to start our own blog. In this blog post you will get a glimpse of pieces in my closet,learn where I found them

 and where I wore them.  

My name is Kristin. Welcome to my closet!

Sunday was so nice out, Leo and I decided to go for a ride. We went to Circleville to pick up somethings for his workshop and I used the trip to thrift and vintage shop. I found some great items at the Goodwill. Then we went looking for a house on Main Street we visited once that occasionally has antique sales inside. The house was open and I left with a bag full of vintage costume jewelry. We finished our ride in Canal Winchester where we stopped to eat at Shades on the Canal. I took my photos across the street from the restaurant and at the the covered bridge in Canal Winchester. This is what I wore.

 I kept it simple with my basic white button up and my favorite Paige Skyline Skinny jeans. The button up is a thrift store buy and the jeans are from Nordstrom. Find the jeans online at:

The suede and knit cardi-jacket is from Rag-O-Rama in Clintonville. I have only worn it twice in a few years but I love it. The jacket is from the 70's and has southwestern influence. The label reads Styled by Max One.

I found the fedora hat in Lebanon at a vintage shop called Cabins to Castles last September. It is also vintage. Inside it reads Made in Switzerland for Lazarus Columbus. It was a Style Adventures find on September 15th and it was kind of tight fitting when I bought it. It was featured a second time in a Remedy This post when I stretched it on October 22. Find the Style Adventures post where I found it here: http://christinakristinco.blogspot.com/2012/09/style-adventures-vol-7-lebanon-pt-ii.html

I love layering jewelry and it's a big thing for necklaces and bracelets this spring & summer. These are some of my favorite necklaces to layer. These seed bead and gold rope necklaces are from Shoetique by way of India. They are adjustable which makes it easy to wear them at once. The peacock necklace peaking out of my collar is an old necklace from Forever 21.

This is my go to brown purse by Louis Vuitton (Papillon). It is a closet post regular. The ring I found at the Macy's Festival at a vendor's table. It is also a closet post vet.

These are my Chinese Laundry over-the-knee (South Bay) boots in color henna. I have worn them a few times on the closet posts. I bought them from Zappos where they are still available. Find them online at:

The last covered bridge in Franklin County Ohio.

My name is Kristin. Welcome to my closet!

Friday I spent the day getting ChristinaKristin items tagged and inventoried at Trovare Home/ Old American Cabinet. The store was opening the next day. Then I had dinner at The Greek St. Tavern with Leo. I took these photos at the store. This is what I wore.

I wanted to be comfortable and casual so I made it a t-shirt day Friday. I love novelty tees, especially ones of tv shows. It wasn't very long ago that Ugly Betty was on and I loved the show though it was a little strange. This tee reads "Viva La Betty" though it's hard to read it in the photo because of the maroon on red. The shirt is by Heartbeat and was purchased at Delias. Unfortuantely it is old but Delias always has great tees. I located a different Ugly Betty tee here: http://www.stylinonline.com/btuglybettybunnyspirit.html

I layered the tee over a Forever 21 yellow beater. My jeans are skyline skinny jeans by Paige. Find the jeans here online:

My leather earrings are from a local designer. I bought them from my girl Samara's store a few years ago. The scarf came from a thrift store in Grandview, Ohio. My brown suede jacket is an Ohio Thrift Store purchase.

The first time I wore these shoes was Friday. My sister bought me these southwest tribal print smoking slippers for my birthday last year from DSW online. They are by Boutique 9. They are still available online at: http://www.dsw.com/dsw_shoes/search/?q=smoking+slippers&segment=FEMALE#q=smoking slippers&productRef=SEARCH&segment=FEMALE&page=2

My purse is the Louis Vuitton Papillon. This style is no longer available online.

Kris's Closet

Inspired by some great bloggers, my partner and I decided to start our own blog. In this blog post you will get a glimpse of pieces in my closet,learn where I found them

 and where I wore them.  

My name is Kristin. Welcome to my closet!

Saturday I went to Lebanon,Ohio with my guy. He had a client to see and I wanted to get out since it was so nice out. We had lunch at  place called Seegers Meat & Deli then we walked through a few stores in Historic Downtown Lebanon. I found a fun turban at Miller's Antique Mall. We came back to Columbus and spent time with my guy's mom then had dinner at Lunada Mexican Grill in Hillard. I realized after the day was almost gone that I hadn't taken photos, so we stopped at the Ohio State Boathouse and shot these quickly in the rain. This is what I wore.

Some of my look is made up of pieces you have seen often. My equestrian style blazer is by Gibson from Nordstrom. I have posted the link to it many times. It is now my go to jacket for finishing an outfit. It's currently on sale. Here is the link again http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/gibson-equestrian-blazer/3341186?origin=keywordsearch&contextualcategoryid=0&fashionColor=Black&resultback=0 My favorite jeans are also from Nordstrom. They are Paige Skyline Skinny in a dark indigo wash.

I was watching a show on ABC called The Neighbors last Wednesday and Jami Gerz who plays Debbie, the main female character (mom/wife) was wearing this blouse. I watched while the tie on the shirt disappeared and reappeared as Debbie moved around the kitchen in one scene in the show. Clearly, that was something the editors missed. I was quite amused. I got my shirt from Nordstrom. It was a gift from my mom. It is by Bellatrix but I didn't locate it on Nordstrom's site or anywhere else. The tie is removable and can be worn at the waist as well.

The tie is a slight contrast from the rest of the shirt. It is floral and adds a few brighter colors.

My earrings are pearl drops I bought for a quarter at a flea market. May favorite accessory in this look is my black turban. I bought this turban from a vendor on etsy for $4. When I got it, she was having a sale but the accessory is still under $10 in her shop. Check her out at http://www.etsy.com/shop/ArtsyTreats?ref=search_shop_redirect

My rings and bag are all closet post vets. The Louis Vuittion Papillon  is ten years old. It was my first Louis. I bought it from The Mall of the Millenia in Orlando. The rings left to right, pearl heart knuckle ring is from Forever 21, the skull is from Nordstrom and the vintage pearl ring is from an antique shop in Attica, Ohio.

These are my favorite smoking slipper this season. They  are the Jeffrey Campbell 'Elegant' Studded Bow Flat. I got mine online at Nordstrom but they are no longer available there. I located them on the AOL shopping site at http://shopping.aol.com/jeffrey-campbell-elegant-studded-bow-flat/s357182983
