Style File Friday: The Purple Goose Trunk Show


Okay, this is a little heavy on self promotion, I know but I prefer to think of it as sharing the knowledge.  So get excited because Purple Goose trunk shows are a new twist on The Goose on the Go, something we have been doing successfully for just over a year.  First it was home parties and you all loved those so much we've made them even bigger and better!  Now.... a trunk show featuring many of the local artist and designers you see at our shops.  A TON more inventory to choose from and you get to play the buyer!  The catch?  There aren't any but it only happens on the 1st Tuesday and 3rd Saturday of every month at the Madison location.  I'm excited I'm rambling, my apologies.

The overview:
WHO: Local artists, designers and indie clothing that you love
WHAT: The traveling and ever changing Purple Goose bazaar
WHERE: The Purple Goose in Madison
WHEN: 1st Tuesday and 3rd Saturday of every month

The Trunk Show Outfit:



Top: $56
Denim: $64
Necklace: So new it isn't priced yet...

This outfit is available at the Verona store or at the Madison store by request.

Use What You Have: Marvelous tp rolls!



Yes, they are marvelous and soon we'll show you why.  Hint it has something to do with an upcoming birthday.  Oh, who could be turning 5 years old?  Chew on that question while I wait for glue to dry...

Scrapbook is here!

Yippie a new clothing line!  I'll let the images speak for themselves...but first a few adjectives to think about while viewing; lacey, fall colors, prints, stripes, patterns, fresh florals...

Style File Friday: Wisconsin Ironman



When I was 15 I thought I could run, bike and swim enough in order to be the youngest women to complete the ironman.  I never did complete that dream and that's fine.  I'm just happy I can run a mile, leisurely ride my bike or wade in water with friends.  The determination, perservence and dedication of those participating in this weekends Ironman is truely commendable.  I still dream of it.  :)  Get out and cheer them on, they deserve it!  Find out where the route is through the below link.  Note: if you are planning on going out to the Verona store on Sunday plan ahead as Main street will be closed.  Check it out!

Wisconsin Ironman Outfit:
The change of season chill has started setting in.  Layers are becoming our best friend for the unpredictable up and down in temperatures.  Skirts layered with leggings, tanks under tees and scarves all keet the chill at bay and can be removed for sunny warm days like today.



Button sleeve tee: $34
Pleated skirt: $32
Cross hatch legging: $19
Scarf: $24
JJive necklace: $32

This outfit is available at the Verona store or at the Madison store by request.
