Two years, it's been! - Monday, May 14, 2012

Ahh sorry for the delay in updating this thing. It's just so much easier to post photos on facebook and have that be that, but I know blogging is a whole other world and some people don't even check facebook. So yeah, here is a post for you blog readers. (and I will try to write more, I promise).

It has officially been two years that Blackbird Attic has been in business. April was the marker to be exact. Things have progressed nicely. I have hundreds of consignors and now, an easier way for them to check their inventory online. (By the way, I am always accepting new consignors, read more about that here). I also have an inventory page where unfortunately I do not (and probably will not) have many (if any) photos, but the brand names and sizes are there to give you an idea of what is in stock! And that is still exciting, right? I think so.

Hm what else is new.. what else.. well, I finally have a sign! It's been a work in progress and a long time coming, but now people shouldn't have any trouble finding me ; ).

So.. photo time:

I bought black balloons once again to commemorate (they add a sort of dark festiveness). The art of the month was created by Double Parlour out of San Fransisco and is available for purchase untill June 4th. The sign was cut and painted by Kalene Rivers. I served a white wine spritzer with strawberries, along with some cheese/crackers, and delicious cupcakes made by my friend who is available to make cupcakes for your event as well ! I ended the night at a friend's house with a little sparkler show. Lot's of smoke, little sparkler action, but a fun time indeed. Nice weather, year two, bring it on.

Shop Photos September 2011 - Monday, September 19, 2011

I was contacted by a publication that wanted to come interview me and take some photos of the shop. That didnt pan out, but it did motivate me to pretty up the shop a bit. I added the tree that used to be in my window to the wall, which I really like because I never know what to do with all the wall space. Any interior designers want to help? haha. Anyway, I tried to fix up some displays and took some shop photos to show you all! Enjoy,

One Year Anniversary Party at Blackbird Attic - Monday, May 16, 2011

I had my one year anniversary party this past Saturday. I held a special sale where everything was 20% off and I made goody bags for the first 30 people. There was a reception held for Liza Corbett's artwork and to add something fun and different to the event, I set up a little mock photo booth. Overall it was a success!

I am happy with what the store has become and where it is heading. I'm always interested in improving the aesthetic and selection at Blackbird Attic. A couple ideas in the works are adding in a small kid's vintage section and to carry more handmade items.

Check out some images from the event below:

How to Wear Maxi Skirts - Tuesday, April 12, 2011

The maxi skirt trend isn't brand new, but it does seem to be coming out in full-force this season. I posted a maxi skirt outfit the other day and I was never a huge fan of the way it was styled. I just saw an article on Refinery 29 about different ways to wear them, so I thought I'd share.

Here's a little summary- A maxi skirt is already a pretty powerful fashion statement, so you're best bet is to tone it down with something more basic and neutral. A cropped sweater or top works well, a tied crop top is especially sweet. Because the maxi skirt is so long, you can wear pretty much anything tucked into it including a tunic or bathing suit. If you're wearing a voluminous maxi skirt, don't be afraid to also wear a loose fitting shirt. Color blocking is also a huge trend for spring/summer and is easy to pull off with a basic color maxi skirt and top.
