Update to "My Favorite Sites"

 Alice Walk

Meet Emily

I do not update my Favorite Sites often. However, I found an exquisite boutique recently that is worth your attention. The site/store is "Alice Walk". It is both online and store fronts, locate on 18B Federal Street, Nantucket, MA and 533 E. Hopkins Ave, Aspen, CO. It's online site is Alicewalk.com.

There are many absolutely beautiful, unique  outfits on the site worn by beautiful real life models. Be sure to check it out.  

Here is more information about Emily and her store/site:

I created "Alice Walk" for women who, like me, are seeking timeless design, beautiful fabrics, and a highly curated shopping experience. Early in my career working in finance in NYC, I was frustrated by cluttered department stores and the volume of uninspired, poorly-made clothing - and knew there was a better approach. 

I’m proud of the brand our all-female team has built – one that consistently stands behind a commitment to quality, timelessness and customer service.”

"Alice Walk" first began as a custom clothing concept. We partnered with small, family-owned textile mills in Europe to source one-of-a-kind fabrics and built an in-house production team that created each garment by hand right in our Boston studio.

Our customers loved our timeless silhouettes, beautiful fabrics and commitment to “slow fashion”, so we expanded our offering of ready-to-wear staples. While we have since moved away from custom production, we believe it's this background in high-end construction that distinguishes our intentional approach to design.

"Alice Walk" was a place before it was a brand - but not just any place. Our founder, Emily Keneally, grew up and was later married on Alice Walk, a small seaside path in historic Hingham, Massachusetts. Endlessly inspired by the charm of the New England coast, the quiet elegance and timeless spirit of Alice Walk is infused into every thread of our story.

My note: "I so hope to visit soon..." 

There are also "pop-up" events coming in Long Island, Philadelphia, and Hobe Sound (FL).  Be sure to checkout her on-line collection and look for the pop-up locations.

I Am The Other Woman

 

First you hide your one single item. I hid a bra my girlfriend had left in my car (long story) in a box of model car leftover parts so my grandparents would not find it. 

Next I had a box of Goodwill donation that my grandmother was ask to drop off.  Two teen girls moving away that live close. Oh what a treasure trove. I hid the box in a out of the way in the barn.  I was in heaven. Not my grandmothers stuff and real girl's things.  To my disappointment it did get dropped off. 

Later I had a box about the size of a bankers-box that held wig, basic makeup, and and one outfit. Before a trip I stopped by my storage and packed up the box to go. Storage expanded and I had a hanging rack of outfits to go that would be hung in the car traveling with the box. By this time Rhonda's box was growing along with the size of the storage space. 

Many years later I had my own apartments that always had a dedicated closet for just Rhonda's stuff. I hide everything in there. No makeup kept in the bathroom. I had a date over one night and she opened the closet. It was all that I could do to explain I was not living with another "secret" woman. I finally had to admit the cloths were mine. I think I explained as: "I am the other woman".
