Haberdashery Boutique
Fredericksburg, Texas

To market, to market...

I'm off to Vegas this week for market. I love market. So many fun things, so much people watching, so many ugly things to curl your lip at... Love it!
Tonight I ran up to the store to see new items hoping to be inspired for some new market outfits. It worked. I've been eyeballing several pieces for a while now, and if there were still in the store. tonight..then they are mine! I've put together four market outfits with some brand new Fall pieces we've just received, some pieces from years past, and some pieces that have been...well...hanging around the store. Let me know what you think!!! (if you'd like to read my original post that I wrote at 10:00 pm, instead of the short and abbreviated version I'm writing now at 12:52, then please scroll all the way to the bottom of my blog. You'd think when you publish something new on a site that it would be somewhere near the top. Well, not so the case with this. I'm a dork.) Good night!


Outfit #1

Love this!! Fabulous little silk print dress with shirred waist. I paired it with a Hazel structured jacket from a few years ago and black Art pants that have been in the store for...ummm...a bit. They fit great, are Jodhpur styled in the hips, and are long in the crotch. They are super cute in the legs, which is why I'm layering them with the dress over. I'm not sure I'd wear them without something long over, but they are a fun layering piece. I added a red belt and these amazing, terribly Fabulous French shoes I bought last summer. The shoes for market will not last...i'll put them on for dinner:)

My favorite!!

Outfit #2

I've loved this top since it first come in to the store. It is cotton, shirred waist, lace insets and a ruffled front. I love the femine, flirtiness of it, and you can't ever go wrong with white. The pants are ART from The Netherlands and they have been in the store since the beginning of the summer. Has no one tried these on??? I think they are soooo cool. Look at all of that detailing! The color is neat too, kind of taupey neutral. Jodhpur styling through the hips, great pockets and button detailing at hem. I added a great leather contoured belt with a big buckle and Fabulous Brown boots. We still have all of these pieces in the store, we'll just have to check sizing for you.

Outfit #3

Jane Mohr designs the neatest skirts. This is a fabulous black skirt from her with tiny little flecks of color. It has pockets in the front and great detailing. Earlier in the summer we received these fabulous linen almost sheer Tee shirts with organza trim. I have worn it ALL summer! I love the sleeve on this and the pretty neckline. We just received the black layer vest from Mystree and I thought it was a fun addition to the outfit. And of course a belt...i love belts. I may end of wearing my black cowboy boots with this for comfort walking all over Vegas, but the flip flops work too.

Outfit #4

I'll probably travel home in this on Thursday. I've been waiting to try on this Hazel navy knit jacket with a hood since I spotted it over a week ago. There are a few left!! I've had the ART skirt for several seasons and it is one of my all time favorites. The navy jacket is the perfect color match with the embroidery of the skirt. I add a natural lace top from...ahum....a big chain store A__th___po___gie. Yes, I know, occasionally I'll shop in other stores. ;) Sassy, sorta casual, comfy, won't set the metal detectors off! Perfect!

The Following pieces show what we've had in the past. Probably we are all sold out of them by now, but fun to get a feel for the LOOK at Haberdashery anyway!

Is it really almost July????

We are a week shy of July. Where exactly did June go? With very good intentions I planned on updating through out the summer with new items. However, my time is quickly being sucked up by kids, no school, summer fun classes and who knows what else. So, my intentions have fallen by the way side. Not to mention, after adding a second camera's software to my computer, my good camera's software for downloading pictures is now MIA on my computer. It used to be sooo easy, and then little things sneak in and mess everything up. Why can't Canon just have the same software for all of their cameras???? So this morning, I used my little point and shoot camera to snap some cute new pieces from the store. Mostly fun summer tops, plus a few extra cute things. I hope you like. And so sorry for the delay in getting new things to you all. I'll be better. I promise.

Cocktail Dress, May 18, 2010

Summer Wedding season is quickly approaching and we just received these two fabulous dresses that would be perfect for any event. Go classic black in this little dress with ruched sleeves, V-neck line, a shirred waist and the perfect amount of swish in the skirt for dancing. The other is a water color print and is very pretty on with the criss cross neckline. The dresses are light weight, they are lined, and they won't wrinkle.
Perfect. Classic. Sexy. Beautiful.

We just received new Gyspey Johnnie shirts on Friday and before they are gone, I wanted to get them online to all of you who want to see them. They are all hand drawn, hand embroidered, and eventhough, I know at $400 a pretty penny, but they are little pieces of wearable art. They wash great, are one size, and are fabulous. When these are gone, they are gone.

Sigh. I love everything that we received yesterday. It is all interesting, textural, drapey, sophisticated, and beautiful. Ronen Chen is still my favorite, and then ART next. It's all so dreamy. It makes me want to pack a bag, travel off to some fabulous city and visit every museum in the area...Chicago, New York, Paris, Prague, yes I think Prague with it's cobble stone streets, red roof tops, and art vendors on the Charles bridge. Wouldn't we feel very European wearing these new garments? I would.

It's August. It's hot. I'm leaving for market in Las Vegas on Sunday!! Yay! I love market! The forecast for Vegas is 110 degrees Sunday, 112 Monday, 110 Tuesday and so on...Nice! Thankfully the casinos and convention center will be an Artic 68 degrees inside. Tonight I ran up to the store to see the new pieces we received this week. I was looking for inspiration too for new market outfits. I think I found a few fun things to wear for market. You know everyone dresses to the hilt! It is fashion week there!!!

So, I am posting the outfits I created tonight in the store. Some of these pieces have been in the store since the beginning of the summer. I finally got around to trying them on and have mixed and matched pieces from my closet, brand new Fall items in the store now and pieces from the store that have been...well...hanging around.

If my daughter had been cooperative tonight, I would have had her take photos of me wearing the outfits, but she was Cah-ra-nky. Any way, let me know what you think! Look in your own closets to see what pieces you love, but want to give a face lift to. Adding a few staple pieces will change the whole look of your wardrobe.
