Free People vs. C&C

Wow just got an email about the new Vintage looks from Free People. Nicole found all these great wrap skirts. I snagged this one, it has cranes on it.  Right now at the store we have looks just like the VINTAGE section of Free People and for a lot less! So come in before they are gone.

blog day afternoon

meet up mastermind, Bella of the Citizen Rosebud

Kara and Bella set out swag bags, which coordinate preciscely with Bella's dress

bloggers!

and more bloggers!  (woo woo, bicycling is great for legs, and Lorena of Sac Cycle Chic on the right is proof)

Kerry of Farms Fashion and Freedom brought some treats from Magpie Catering to share

treats were eaten and drunken (drank? hehe, thanks to Jen of Wade and Assoc, if I remember correctly?), and info exchanged in the little customized notebooks Bella put in the swag bags

a little while back Crimson & Clover regular and blogger extraordinaire Bella of the Citizen Rosebud contacted us about participating in a meet up of local fashion bloggers.  we liked the idea so much that we offered to host the meeting at the shop.  so last Saturday we gathered on our patio to hang out. we want to thank Bella for organizing the event as well all the lovely ladies who attended.  it was a pleasure to spend the afternoon with you.  many of the gals who attended have reflected on our afternoon together (and have WAY better photos than we) on their blogs, so do check 'em out:
