Street Scene: That Seventies Look

"Hooray for red, white, & blue!" said she apropos of this election day posting. Dating from an era of tethered telephones, three television networks and small screens on large appliances, her 1970's blouse was thrifted from Ragtime in Asheville. Banana Republic skirt gives it space to make a statment. Aerosoles were "worn all over the north island of New Zealand and they're super comfy." See more of her great outfits on Sunday's Best Vintage.

A shared affinity for textures that drape just so and a well-chosen colors brought together the talents Megan Huntz and Trevor White. Her dresses combined with his neckwear became a Saturday trunk show at Mitzi's Corner in Virginia-Highland.

Alabama Chanin At Billy Reid

"Not every trunk show looks like this," remarked Natalie Chanin between gospel songs by the famed Gee's Bend quilters. Call it a Southern thing. She fosters a cottage industry that strengthens the very culture from which she draws inspiration for the lifestyle company, Alabama Chanin. The latest in her trademark stitchery is on view today and tomorrow at Billy Reid, 1170 Howell Mill Rd.
