My Style Icon: First Lady Michelle Obama (part 1)
Wednesday, January 20th, 2010Look of the day: Mix and Match
Tuesday, January 12th, 2010I never knew Vintage chic could be this easy! Check out the laidback feel drawn from the peasant skirt. The Ballet flats just keep it “down to earth” and set apart from your normal business causual.
Do:
-Pair and embroidered shirt, or any shirt with texture, with an floral print skirt for a magpie-chic look.
-Play with colors. Just because the sample is shown wearing earth tones, doesn’t mean you couldn’t do the same with a bright blouse and skirt.
-Layer on a scarf and hat to keep warm.
-Wear flats. Ballet flats, flat boots, anything flat.
-Throw in some jewelry. A cuff, ribbon choker, layered necklaces would all pair well with this look.
C-T in the news
Sunday, November 29th, 2009Meet our new models-
Tuesday, September 29th, 2009I first met Joy at a wedding we were both in. I was struck by her warmth and humility. We kept in contact for about 2 years, and started to meet more frequently over the past 2 months.
It all came together when my other modeling couple fell through. “Oh no, now what? I have all these deadlines centered around this photo-shoot- i can’t miss this!” I called Joy the day before- and her and Tyler agreed! Saved the day!
We’ll hear from them shortly- but for now, it’s enough to know- They love each other, and they love Jesus.

C-T.com- Next Runway show!
Wednesday, May 27th, 2009We have partnered with 6 different Pure Fashion shows over the past few months spread all across the States. But it’s with even greater pleasure that I announce our next Runway show, right here in Portland.
Here’s an excerpt from the press release:
June 7th, Christa Taylor, of Christa-Taylor.com, joins Larry Peacock of Stumptown Dance to launch First Ever “Swingin’ Catwalk” at the Scottish Rite.
” Vintage Fashion has been popular on Portland streets for decades, and who knows it better than the Swing dance crowd? In 2 weeks, 8 of Portland’s dancers will interrupt the dance night, walking the Red carpet in vintage inspired Fashion designed here in Portland. Once the dancer hits the end of the runway, she’ll join her dance partner to show off their footwork.
“It brings two of Portland’s best flavors together” says Taylor, “People are getting so excited, we’re considering making this a monthly event” she concludes.
30% of any sales from the Christa-Taylor collection go to support orphans and widows in Cambodia. ”
Any Portlander’s who read the blog- come join us!

No, we’re not talking about helmets, we’re talking feathers.
That’s right, available at a plethora of boutiques and even some of the mainstream retailers (Target) - feathers, blossoms and headbands are making a huge statement this Spring/Summer.
SheZoom gives us some fun ideas on what this trend looks like, and how to wear it.
