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!

Sunday I spent the day exploring Southern Ohio. I spent the most time in two cities that I had not visted previously, Bainbridge and Portsmouth, Ohio. In Bainbridge I ran into The Trading Post Antiques where I stacked up on cookbooks and cookie cutters for the coming holiday season. Then I had lunch at a local greasy spoon called Docs Bainbridge Restaurant. The broasted chicken was delicious. Portsmouth was a city lined with antique shops. Unfortunately, only two shops were opened on Sunday. One was called 'Ghosts in the Attic'; a huge antique shop with floors of antiques, vintage clothing and jewelry items.  I definitely plan to return to do a 'Style Adventure' piece.  Before I headed back to Columbus, I stopped at The Portsmouth Brewing Company. At the Brewery I had some appetizers and a beer flight of the house made brew. I also got a history lesson.  The building started out as a brewery in the 1800s and tried to survive selling non-alcoholic beer during Prohibition. Then the building housed a few other kinds of operations before it returned to being a brewery in the late 90s. The family who brought the building back to it's roots has been running it ever since. It is a cool place to hang out. I am not a beer expert but really enjoyed the 'Red Bird Ale'.

My look was casual and great for car travel. The weather was also a little chilly so I layered my Grace Jones tee over a button up and added a shawl cardigan with fringe detail on top. My pants were soft and comfortable. They are a light weight corduroy. The look is almost completely available. Find the details to get the look below.

Chris's/Kris's Closet (Kristin) December 1, 2012

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, we had a jewelry event at Danes Dessert Cafe in Short North, Columbus, Ohio. Christina and I premiered our new Heavy Metal Collection. We were both suppose to wear jewelry from one of the two current collections, so I based my outfit around pieces from our Vegas and Heavy Metal collections. I took my pictures at the event. This is what I wore.

Since the event was a holiday event, I decided to try to wear something that read holiday. I also had to be comfortable. The event was from 6 pm until midnight and I was going to be on my feet. So flats were a must.

My Hello Kitty tee reads Naughty or Nice? I got it many years ago from Forever 21. My black blazer is Gibson from Nordstrom. It is an equestrian style and can be found on Nordstrom's site at :

My floral denim is the Diana Skinny Jean by KUT from the Kloth at Nordstrom. Find them online at:

My  boots are the UGG Australia 'Bailey Sparkle' Over the Knee Boot. I bought them last year. They are mostly sold out. I have seen some on ebay and it appears there are still select sizes online at Nordstrom.

My earrings are from our Vegas collection. Click on the link below to go directly to them or you can find them by visiting our shop from the homepage of our blog. They are the Vegas Sparkle Pompom earrings in red. http://www.etsy.com/listing/117339220/vegas-sparkle-pompom-earrings-vegas

I am wearing a combination of bracelets. Two of them are Vegas beaded stretch bracelets and there are bolt cuff bracelets in between, on top and bottom of the Vegas bracelets. This is not the best picture. The sequin clutch is from MJR.

This concludes another Kris's Closet. Thank you so much for stopping by!
