Meet Michelle, my (Maine) belle! Michelle is the communications manager for Goodwill New England and the primary reason why we bloggers were able to pull off such successful swaps this past year. She also runs a cool blog and sells vintage clothes. Fully aware of her amazing sense of style, I asked her to put together an outfit for Holiday Cocktails. Here’s what she’s wearing:

I’m wearing a vintage lace dress my sister gave me years ago. I paired it with a brown leather belt and boots. I’m also wearing a vintage coat (found at a Dover, New Hampshire Goodwill) that I recently picked up to complete the ensemble. It’s a Findlay Fashion (Original by “Greg”) and it’s from 1963. 

Thanks Michelle. Now pass me a Tom Collins. 

It’s time to start thinking about a Valentine’s day gift for the lady love in your life. We suggest some organic undergarments from designer brookthere. We love her lacy bras and flirty undies. Plus, they’re good for the environment. We expect you’ll reap some of the benefits as well…  

Need some last minute Halloween inspiration? Here are some great Maine-inspired costumes we’ve culled from the web. Happy Haunting everyone!
