Fayetteville is literally overflowing with wonderful local businesses. It’s very possible to be a “locavore” in this town of 70K.

This is my 1000th post! I’m thrilled about this milestone. I’m exceedingly grateful for the encouragement, kind words and new friendships I’ve received through The Window Shopper. I wanted to make this 1000th post special for me and for those of you reading…so I called in a few favors. Mallory shot my wedding and she is extremely talented so I was overjoyed when she consented to take a few pictures of me outside of my office’s bathroom. Mallory introduced me to Mollie, an incredible makeup artist that got me camera-ready.
We did several different looks and this was one of my favorites (more to come!). The coral blazer is actually part of a two piece set, it goes with a dress that has a really cool cutout back that I’m looking forward to wearing this summer. The pink sequin collar was a wedding gift from my friends at Cheap Thrills. It really is amazing to live in a smaller town where you can forge relationships with the people at the stores you love. When I approached Cheap Thrills and Grey Dog about collaborating with me on a giveaway they were excited, helpful and very generous.
GIVEAWAY
Just in time for spring, I’m giving away three lovely vintage items: a beaded flower necklace with earrings (from Cheap Thrills) and an 80’s cream clutch (from Grey Dog). All you have to do is like The Window Shopper on Facebook and comment below. Tell me in the comments about your favorite vintage find. I will announce the winner next Wedesday, 3/21.
What I Wore NWAFW: Lamé Perfection
what I wore: dress – unlabeled vintage from trendy mindy’s, heels – nine west, earrings – forever 21, bag vintage,
Last Friday at NWAFW, I wore a dress I’ve been dying to wear since I purchased it a few months ago. It’s gold/green/blue lame with sequins and a nude panel, so it’s not exactly the kind of thing you can wear out on a random night. My husband had to practically sew me into it (and rip me out!) but it was totally worth it. There was really no better place to don it than a fashion function and no less than one minute after I walked through the door, a girl asked if she could take my picture. Talk about validation!
What I Wore: Baby Blue
what I wore: dress – vintage parade from cheap thrills, necklace – 30s vintage (a present from my hubby) found @ mae’s, platforms – go jane *please excuse the (clean) laundry in the background…it was late

Last night I went to the Shop Local night of the inaugural Northwest Arkansas Fashion Week. I have to say, I was really impressed and am now so excited about Friday night when some of my favorite boutiques will be showing. Obviously we don’t have as many designers as a big city would, so the shows are all philanthropic and benefit local charities. I’m really proud of the great work that went into making this event happen and I can’t wait to see how it takes off!

Don’t you love the lace collar & cuffs? I thought this was such a fun wintery/autumnal dress. Grey Dog is such an asset to our little community
Grey Dog – A Must-See
I have been hearing SO MUCH about the Grey Dog vintage boutique housed in a little 1973 Airstream trailer. The teeny mobile holds a wealth of vintage dresses (all tailored to a modern fit), baubles, sunglasses & more. I finally went last week and it was better than I could have imagined. The owner, Molly has a keen eye for items that the trend conscious will enjoy just as much as the vintage-enthusiast. There are new options almost every week and they’re all very reasonably priced. There’s even a mini-fitting room! A must-visit for any stylish Fayetteville girl-about-town!
Currently located on the corner of trenton and college avenue (across from the new skating rink)
