Friday my sister and I set off toward Cincinnati for a sister bonding weekend trip. We stopped in Loveland, Ohio to see Loveland Castle on the way. There we took a tour and ate our lunch. We stopped at Eden Park to check out a beautiful view of Cincinnati. Then we checked into a Tudor style home for the weekend through airbnb. The day ended with dinner at Pappadeaux's.

Kris's Closet

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!

I realize as I get older, I am an equal opportunity closet raider. I have raided the closets of my mom, dad, grandma and even grandpa. Sunday I wore a suede fedora that belonged to my grandfather. The hat was a perfect accessory for the weather. It was a cool fall day so with the close of my birthday week and month, I decided I wanted to get brunch and take a walk somewhere. After a slightly disappointing brunch at Cap City, I headed to High Banks Park where I took my photos. Although I love the fall colors, I hate that it means cold weather is just around the corner. This is what I wore.

Blouse: thrift store

Sweater:thrift store

Jeans:Paige Denim

Shoes: lace-less brown and white oxfords by Not Too Coy

Earrings: Betsey Johnson Knife Edge Hoops 

Bracelets: vintage copper cuffs from thrift stores

Necklace: I got this necklace for $0.25 at a flea market!

I try to avoid a jacket whenever possible by layering up. The temperature was in the 60's so I wore a sweater over a 70's vintage paisley button-up. I have always loved blues and browns together. I am also loving mixing the feminine and masculine together lately so this look was inspired by both my grandpa and mom. 

What do you think about my look?

Be blessed! Be free! Be fashionable!

Kris's Closet

Inspired by some great bloggers, my partner and I decided to start our own blog almost a year ago. 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 I rode to Cleveland with Leo to see a client. He had an estimate to do and I had some unfinished mother's day shopping to wrap up. He dropped me off at the Beachwood Place Mall and he went off to do his estimate. Once we both finished our tasks we had an early dinner at Zocalo Mexican Grill downtown Cleveland. I had a very interesting yet delicious mango & avocado margarita. When I got back to Columbus, I went to see my mom and drop off her goody bag. I took these photos outside Zocalo. This is what I wore.

 It was a chilly Mother's Day especially in Cleveland, so I made sure to wear layers. I revisited a piece of my fall/winter wardrobe to stay comfortable in the fifty degree weather. The navy and silver paisley shirt I paid $0.99 for at the Valley Thrift Store in Dayton. Here are some cute paisley button-ups here and here. The orange and navy hounds-tooth jacket is from the Ohio Thrift Store. I bought it a few years ago for a few dollars. Since the jacket isn't a spring season jacket, it was hard to find anything similar. I am wearing my boyfriend, Leo's Levi's for a looser fit jean.

These earrings are from our Heavy Metal Collection. They are made of wire, metal beads, springs and washers. Visit our etsy shop to see more of this collection.

The purse is the Michael Kors 'Hamilton East/West Satchel'. I got it from Zappos. The alligator leather cuff bracelet is the 'creature cuff ' by Tasha from Nordstrom. The wire bracelet, I have had a long time and I forget where it is from. Find a similar bracelet here.

The  metallic oxford shoes my mom bought me from Nordstrom. I love that they carry two spring trends, studs and cutouts. They are the Sam Edelman 'Jayden' oxford. I love them, they are very comfortable.

This concludes another Kris's Closet. What do you think about my modern 70's look?

 and where I wore them.  

My name is Kristin. Welcome to my closet!

Sunday I attended the wedding of my fella's niece. It was a beautiful outside wedding at a park facility. The weather was beautiful and I was happy to be there. I love weddings especially when I am not in them. I took these photos at the wedding during the reception. This is what I wore.

I am very proud of this look because it is a very inexpensive outfit. The jacket and skirt are thrift store purchases. The colorful paisley jacket is surprisingly by Coldwater Creek. I am not a fan of this brand but I have learned that even the most conservative of brands can surprise you. I paid $6.99 for this jacket at the Valley Thrift Store in Dayton. Find similar jackets here at option 1 and option 2.  The tie-dye look stripe pleated skirt is also from that same thrift store. The brand is Elle and I paid $4.99 for it. I could not find anything similar that wasn't under $200 to post. The top under my jacket is just a black beater. I bought it in a pack of three from Bed Bath & Beyond. I'd say one beater is $3.33 out of a $10 pack. This look before my accessories was about $15.31.

Now my accessories are another story. My glasses are Fendi. They were my gramsey Nolan's, so I did not buy them but the lenses have been replaced. They had her bifocal prescription in them and I had them replaced with my own prescription. I swear by See Eyewear for those who are searching for quality frames and lenses at a good price. The necklace is the Lillith Fringe Necklace by Stella & Dot.

I am excited about my Urban Safari 'arm party'. My bracelets are from several places. The snake in the front is from a seller on etsy ( here is the same snake bracelet in gold), the second and fourth bracelets are from Stella & Dot. They are the 'Kalahari Bangle' and the 'Artemis Cuff'. The third gold and pearl bracelet  is a stretch bracelet that I found at the Valley Thrift Store, again Dayton. The last bracelet is the Alligator 'Creature Cuff' by Tasha from Nordstrom. The pearl vintage ring is a purchase from a vintage shop in Attica, Ohio. My straw clutch is from the Buffalo Exchange in Chicago.Online I found a similar clutch.

I love these shoes. They are some of my favorite shoes but I don't get to wear them often enough. They are blue suede with gold and beige leather trim and wicker heels. The brand is Costume National, an Italian couture brand shoe that I found in New York at Century 21.

This concludes another Kris's Closet. What do you think about this look?

Kris's Closet

Inspired by great bloggers like Folake of Style Pantry and Tamia of The Style Sample,two months ago we decided to open up our closets to the world as well. We are ChristinaKristin of Columbus,Ohio. We are two women close in age, with two different takes on style and completely different personalities. My style is usually wild, bold, adventurous and colorful. These same words also describe my personality and life. My name is Kristin. Welcome to my closet!

Thursday was the start of my weekend. It was Christina's birthday! We went to Franklin Park Conservatory for Cocktails at the Conservatory, had some food
 and drinks at a friend's home then ended the night at Club Visson. I took most of these pictures at my friend's place. This is what I wore.

I wore a paisley strapless handkerchief  dress by Jonathan Martin. I found a similar options @ http://www.zappos.com/vince-camuto-strapless-handkerchief-dress-vc2d1222

My earrings are closet blog repeats. They are colorful chandeliers that I purchased at Timber Tunes in Johnstown, Ohio. I found a similar pair @ http://cutesietoo.com/item_72/Colorful-Chandelier-Earrings.htm

My rainbow trimmed straw clutch is a closet blog regular now. I bought it for a dollar at Clothes Gallery in Circleville, Ohio. It's coming to a close for straw clutch season but if you are looking for one try http://www.etsy.com/. There are so many to choose from.

My cocktail ring is a parrot that I bought at a store in New York. I found the same one @ http://www.overstockjeweler.com/ny-inspired-silver-tone-multi-color-rhinestone-parrot-big-cocktail-ring-p-3511.html?gclid=COb68M_bmbICFahAMgodvjAAQw The bracelet I have worn before on a closet blog, I got it from Funky & Functional in Short North Columbus.

My blue wedges are Zigi Soho from DSW.com. They are my favorite shoes of the summer. Unfortunately, they are all sold out. Fortunately, I found some very similar in limited sizes @ http://www.overstock.com/Clothing-Shoes/Neway-by-Beston-Womens-Adela-Blue-Wedges-Sandals/6677744/product.html?cid=202290&kid=9553000357392&track=pspla&kw={keyword}&adtype=pla
