New York, New York

Michael and I attended "Toast to the Coast," a fundraiser for the school where I graduated from high school. This year's theme was "New York, New York" and featured all the iconic elements from one of my favorite U.S. cities.   

It was the perfect time to wear a dress I picked up in the historic town of Bay St. Louis, MS. While there for a Second Saturday Art Walk, I came across a shop called "Identity Vintage." The owner and I instantly bonded, as we were both wearing cat-eye glasses. I picked up a beautiful champagne-colored dress and a pair of maroon gloves. (The shop has all kinds of accessories, too, from purses to pins and scarves). I am once again wearing a fur that belonged to my great-grandmother (her monogrammed initials are on the interior lining!)   Identity Vintage has great prices and a great selection of all things vintage, from clothing and accessories to knick knacks.
