Kickin' Knoxville

On her way to East Nashville for Open Road Artists is the multi-talented Camilla O'Neal and her trunk show of amazing, vintage, cowgirl boots. The Chattanoogan caught up to her in Knoxville and was impressed by how well this Wyoming native remixed a Blue Bird embroidered, pearl snap, western blouse with another, one-of-kind find, a tweed waistcoat by Land Cooper that she found at an English horse show.

Knoxville Market Square Revisited

School photography clubs descended upon downtown Knoxville at the noon hour today. Every third pedestrian seemed to have some kind of camera slung 'round her/his neck, all in pursuit of academic agendae. Even a television news crew put in an appearance. Thanks for the cover, people. Approaching stylish strangers is ever a delicate business. My first choice was a gent clad in tweed and corduroy who politely thanked me for my interest. More to the point were these two ladies who show just how far surprising color choices plus a harlequin bag or one well-placed bow might travel into the blogosphere.

Loads of lovely detailing lend a vintage air to her blouse by

"I had so much fun putting this together," she told me of her Navy Week ensemble. Assemble a look all your own at Vagabondia.

Knoxville Revisited

The Chattanoogan first visited Knoxville in April and returned most impressed by its finery. July's heat has made comfortable sundresses de rigueur. These two examples, geometric by Scrapbook and ethereal from Macy's, graced the city's Market Square and the terrace of a fashionable, West End restaurant.

Knoxville Day Two

Her cunning sundress of two layers displays a black scrim, collar and placket over a purple sheath, all grounded by the whimsical choice of patent leather clogs. Well done!
