A Pilgrim's Progress

Not to be confused with the Christian allegory The Pilgrim's Progress. This is my journey, one that I'm thankful to have the opportunity to traverse. Big changes are coming for Spashionista.

Throwback To Paris Vintage Fashion Show

It's no secret that my wardrobe is pretty much an everyday runway show for Pura Vida Vintage.  So it came as no surprise to find out that owner/curator Krystle Ramos' impeccable fashion sense is sought after by more than just yours truly. Last month  Ramos was contacted to be the featured designer for a show hosted by Tennessee State University. Called "Throwback to Paris", the runways highlighted  a collection of vintage dresses and outerwear inspired by Paris in the 1950's.

Wide feet and calves coupled with petite proportions make for hours of trying on boots with little to no success. But I have found a clever, beautiful solution to my problem. One that all of you can benefit from as well. A boot for virtually every woman.
