THE CITIZEN INDEX

I Liked You Better


I've been busy! Got my space all readied for the GRAND OPENING scheduled for this coming Friday at the new Beats and Bohos. Moved into a new work space where I'll be able to take decent pictures indoors! This is right on time- as the Seattle monsoon season is set to begin soon, so casual pics on my doorstep won't be as easy to do anymore. Sold some stuff, and to a number of really nice people. If you happen to be reading this: THANK-YOU.

#SHOPSECONDHANDFIRST
Rare Antique Red Cross Wooden First Aid Kit. On Sale Now.
I don't know if you've noticed but the Citizen has been bereft of "outfit posts" lately. This is because I'm a little burnt out on #selfies (trust me, I am as fearlessly self-absorbed as ever) and so have decided to only take pics of outfits worth chronicling AND/OR fun editorial style photography where it's less about WHAT I WORE, and more about AIN'T ART GRAND?

Here are some crass commercial shots of items that are about to be listed on Etsy/Ebay:

 
  1.  Vintage 1950s hat bedazzled with faux jewels and netting, because OVER THE TOP never applies to your headgear. Union Label. One Size. $38 +shipping
  2.  Vintage 1980s "Nude" stretch belt. Like new. XL. $7 +shipping
  3.  Pre-loved, Capezio "Nude" jazz shoes. Almost New. Size 7. $29 plus shipping.
If you have any interest in these items, please message me and we can make it happen.
Get Your Shine On THIS WEDNESDAY for Shoe Shine!

Don't Forget!
This Wednesday is September's SHOE SHINE. It's community event where we post our favorite shoes and blog hop it. It'll run from Wednesday to Friday, and I hope I see you and your stellar kicks there. 

Because ain't no party like a VIZZY party, I'll be over at Patti's for Visible Monday.

I LOVE that shirt, and I've missed your posts! I haven't been wanting to post OOTDs either. I feel like I wear the same thing all the time, why would I keep taking pics of it?

We just love whatever you show us, whenever you show us, and we just feel lucky you posted at all. Congrats on all the good changes for you ... I never read your mentions about Seattle without feeling homesick. Glad you're there to enjoy it, though. Looking good, Bella.
Please send any monsoon that is annoying you my way ... need rain!

Sue @ A Colourful Canvas said...

Yes, no such thing as an over the top hat! Love it, and the shoes!

Melanie said...

All the best on your opening! This is very exciting. I get what you're saying about the photo thing and love that you will be focusing on Ain't Art Grand. Renewal and regeneration keeps us alive. I must check my shoes...
