Blackbird Attic Third Anniversary

Blackbird Attic's Third Anniversary event was yesterday. Anyone who knows the story of my opening knows I kind of fell into it shortly after moving to Beacon.. although it was always a dream to open a shop, I basically walked into it and haven't left yet. I have been living here for as long as I lived in New York City (where I moved up from, like many others), and while I still miss my hometown Rochester now and then, Beacon has become my home and this shop is a huge part of my life and character.

The weather wasn't the best yesterday, with a thunderstorm and all, but thank you to the friends and customers that stopped by to congratulate me. The Laura Berger art show and prints are up and for sale, and I will be taking more photos for another post soon. I can ship! The show will be up till June 7th.

Take a little peek into my day below..








 



The end of the party this morning, but a lovely sunny Mother's Day!

It's wedding season, kid! In case you have 17 of them lined up like Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn did in the 2005 movie, Wedding Crashers, you will need proper attire to attend all of the I do's in style. Depending on the type of soiree, many can dress in cocktail attire, sundresses or formal wear. Although, many of the wedding rules are being broken as of late, we'd like to provide you with some options for all types of wedding occasions.

Garden weddings have an old-school charm about them, as does this vintage lace dress. Pair it with a some kitten heels and a gold chain clutch and you're good from head to toe.
