Well we survived our first weekend back as shop owners again. It felt so good to be back in the shop and doing what we love again. Technically today’s post was supposed to be all about the shop, but I started the post and started getting lots of feels so that post is being finished today for tomorrow. I can’t wait to show you the space and the story! I didn’t realize how much of a story I had in there until I started typing everything out. I figured it would be a quick shop tour but as we all know, I love feelings and words. So basically this is me preparing you for a long post tomorrow. Consider yourself warned 😉
I got this little red plaid number for my birthday this year. When we were in Chicago, B had a meeting and I had time to kill…inside of a Nordstrom. Birthday money does not stay in my wallet for long. I think I made a good responsible choice though for a 30 year old. You can’t get more grown up than a winter coat. Well, maybe a vacuum cleaner but that’s slated for next year. I’ve got to have something to look forward to.

That dress is spectacular. I like the way in which you wear the coat but I don't think it is something I would pull off.

What a wonderful coat. Great score!
You make that coat look way better than the Nordstrom model. You look all around amazing. 30 is working out for you.

Ahh! Can't wait to read up (and experience my own feels) from your next post about your latest store.
This coat is definitely a sensible choice, and I would have chosen it over a vacuum anyday. (but seriously, when you buy a great vacuum cleaner it changes your mind about cleaning).
I have yet to share a post with my kate spade bag, but I am loving all the style inspiration I am getting from you. =]
Hope you have a great day Kendi!

Wow gorgeous! Love the dress, and the plaid coat is just perfect. You look amazing as usual.
