We were really excited to check out some new fall lines to bring into the store. Unfortunately, my car broke down, en route, about fifteen minutes from my house. Sad story: no BB Dakota and Free People for us! But we decided to seize the opportunity to take some outfit pics in the breakdown lane on 195.


Cody wears a vintage 60′s coat, vintage polka dot trapeze top from Calico, and one of her please+thankyou necklaces


My little Honda goes for a ride on a tow truck


We headed back to my house and took a little walk with the doggies


Vintage 60′s jacket, collage pin by my friend, Amelia, Affordable Scarves circle scarf
Vintage knit gloves


Cody in a vintage boys’ blazer, Calico vintage trapeze top, and American Apparel leggings.


Love this necklace? It’s available on Cody’s Etsy!


Vintage studded booties–Cody scored these from me in one of our swaps! They were headed into store inventory, but had a little too much damage to make the final cut.


I’m wearing: A vintage Anthrologie trapeze top, vintage silk cropped jacket, and H&M flare jeans…


…and one of Cody’s necklaces. This is actually the first one she ever made, and she gave it to me for my birthday :)

Thankfully, my car is okay! Apparently, I put too much oil in it. The moral of the story? CHECK YER DIPSTICK.

Keeping up with installing new visuals each season is a challenge, but also one of the best parts of my job! Luckily, my BFF, Miss Cody Nowell, is a super-fabulous and creative merchandiser, so we always have a blast creating new windows together!

Here are our most recent windows, inspired by Valentine’s Day, prom time, and Betsey Johnson!

Night, and Calico hosted a trunk show for our in-house accessories designer (and my BFF), Cody Nowell.

Cody’s line, please+thankyou, has experienced many incarnations and concentrations: She has created a series of clutches from her own handwoven textiles, hand-printed and embroidered a small collection of lingerie, and fashioned one-off hair pieces and “hatlets” incorporating vintage wool, feathers, and lace.

Her obsession du jour? Gorgeous, statement-making necklaces made of reclaimed vintage.

Cody with please+thankyou set-up.

Some new please+thankyou pieces.

Each please+thankyou piece is completely one-of-a-kind, individually-assembled from hand-picked vintage materials. These necklaces are sturdily constructed and backed in soft, recycled vintage hat felt–so they won’t irritate the skin or snag your clothes!

I love to wear these necklaces with a totally casual jeans and tee look, but they’re also perfect paired with a favorite little black dress for a fancy night on the town!

Calico: Friends & Associates.

I just HAD to weasel this one, after the event was over! LOVES IT!

I also made a little video of Cody working on some of her designs. This is my first video-editing project in a loooong time, and it was lots of fun to make! Enjoy!

To inquire about any of the pieces you see here or to receive more info about please+thankyou, custom orders, or bridal accessories, contact cody@shopcalico.com.

Look for more of please+thankyou when Calico’s webshop launches this spring! Til then, you can follow @please_thankyou on Twitter–and be sure to follow @shopcalico, too, for TONS of behind-the-scenes peeks at in-process please+thankyou, freshly-scored vintage goods–and MORE!
