Shop Around // Camargo Trading Company

On one of my first trips to Camargo Trading Company, nosiness/curiosity led me on a dizzying exploration of wedding registry plates, plaid picture frames, and other tchotchkes and gifts for the ladies-who-lunch-in-yoga-pants set. I’d seen just about everything when, lured by a “Sale” sign, I cautiously headed towards a quiet corner in the back of the store. “There’s more upstairs,” a friendly voice chimed in from behind, and for the first time I noticed the...

Shop Around // Hi-Bred

One of the shops I frequent when I’m scouting for work or hunting for vintage for my own collection is Hi-Bred in Walnut Hills. Owner Shawna Maria Guip (remember we profiled for the September issue of Cincinnati Magazine?) has filled her shop to the brim with vintage and secondhand clothes, accessories, and home goods, all apparently selected to trigger my Things I Must Have sensors. There’s plenty of manly menswear and cute things for home...

Honestly, I did feel some guilt due to the fact that the donut was just one of a series of pastries I consumed, but the fashion more than made up for it! I am SO ready for Spring.

When I find good stuff, I like to share (I’m generous like that), so let’s Shop Around: Almost exactly a year ago during Style Tour, I visited Casablanca Vintage and it was a hot mess and a half. There was a mountain of clothes piled on the floor, there didn’t seem to be any order to the way things were...
