Country Living Fair

The Country Living Fair is in Columbus, Ohio this year! The fair is being held at the Ohio Historical Society on September 12-13-14, 2008 and is only 3 miles from SoBo Style. We will be loaded with fresh inventory that weekend. So, if you're planning a trip to the fair be sure to stop by and see us. I've even been hording some goodies in the back room for that weekend.

Mia at the park

It was just a matter of time before I put my dog on the blog.....this was yesterday in the ravine at Whetstone park. It was a beautiful day and we had the place to ourselves.

Vintage Deco Glider

This is a good one....the multiple layers of paint give it a great alligator affect!

Fall '08 Maruca Purses

The new Fall Maruca bags have arrived at SoBo Style. Each season the jacquard fabrics get better and better. This Fall, the color ways are super rich and have a slight iridescent glow. We have 4 different sizes and shapes of purses to choose from but get in here quick because we always sell out of these beautiful bags.

New Window Display

We've got a fresh new window display at SoBo Style and I'm really pleased with the way it turned out. The Envirosaxs are hung on chains and stuffed full with a variety of items. These stylish, lightweight tote bags are so strong, great for groceries, school books, gym clothes, travel and much much more. The they roll up to a little ball so you can shove it in your pocket or purse when you're off to the market! Gotta love that.

Knock off's

Ok....did anybody else get this Antropologie catalog? I almost fell over when i pulled it out of my mailbox! I have the exact vintage sweater that they knocked off. Unbelievable!! They didn't even change the color combos!

NYC

I was in NYC for the Accessories Trade Show, Intermezzo (fashion) and The Children's Show. I left Sunday morning and returned last night. Placed some great orders for Fall. As usual, i can't wait for everything to come in......



I've been staying at the Gershwin Hotel in the flatiron district for several years. It's an old funky hotel that caters to European tourists. The decor is all pop art, mis-matched chairs and a cheap bucket of paint. I love the location and the low-keyness of it. Oh, and it's right next door to the Museum of Sex.

Sidewalk Sale Success

We had our most best sidewalk sale ever! Thanks to everyone who came and helped make it so successful! Brenda showed up promptly at 7:30am to assist in with the canopy, the weather cooperated beautifully, Lydia worked cool as a cucumber at the cash registrar. We were so busy that I didn't even have time to take any photos!

Then....at 6:00pm my dear friends, Claudia and Billy, from Nashville called and said they were in Cincinnati and would be at my house in 2 hours! I had no idea they were coming so i rushed home, walked Mia, changed the sheets on the bed and vacuumed the dog hair. What a nice surprise to see Claud and Bill. Unfortunately, it was just for the night because my flight to NYC for the Accessories Show was at 8:25am Sunday morning.

I spent all day Sunday at the show, jewelry overload so say the least. Yesterday I did the Kids Show and I'm happy to report Punkster will be returning to SoBo Style. That is the company that does the baby onesies that say "I crawl the line" and "ipood". We haven't had them in over a year so I'm so excited they're shipping again and will post when they arrive.

Back to reality today at SoBo.
