double plaid

Sweet layered collared shirts on Friedrich, of Small Fires Press, at the Cooper-Young Community Farmer’s Market’s Autumn ETSY Artisan Faire. Say that five times fast!

Love that double plaid.

lovely Gabrielle

Gabrielle looks so great wearing a skirt at her natural waist. This look comes across as more classic and less trendy than a lot of the more severe “high-waisted” looks.

We grabbed a shady seat at the Cooper-Young Farmers Market last weekend to listen to the lovely Holly Cole & the Memphis Dawls.

Cellist Jana Misener (she also plays with Giant Bear and Sultana) was fresh and cool in a long white cotton sundress. Her carved coral earrings and floral-and-feather hair fascinator caught our eye before she even took the stage.

I think we’re officially obsessed with hats. Unsurprisingly, we loved Amy’s. The fresh flowers from the market were a nice touch.

Burke’s Book Store celebrated their 135th (wow!) anniversary at Cooper-Young Nite Out last week with champagne, cake, and balloons.

Co-owner Cheryl was dressed classically and comfortably in jeans and a button down, with amazing, one-of-a-kind accessories, including her cool tortoise shell frames.

If it’s not clear from the whole 135 years thing, we’d just like to point out that Burke’s is a Memphis institution. A lovely, comfortable, well-staffed, book lover’s haven.

Burke’s carries new books, and specializes in rare and used books. We cannot help but be charmed by these hand-wrapped special orders. Now those are some stylish books!

Finally, we appreciate that Burke’s Books is set up for you to preview the merchandise. Every aisle has a chair for you.

HAPPY B-DAY, Burke’s! We’re hoping for at least 135 more.

Here are some of our favorite alternates and outtakes that did not make it into Skirt!:
