I’ve fallen in love with New Bedford. The streets are so quaint they could’ve been the backdrop to a ’90s teen drama. It’s a Sunday kind of love.
The air is crisper! They spell ‘bank’ with a ‘c’ ! There’s vintage EVERYWHERE.
In particular: THIS PLACE. Elissa Paquette’s store, Calico, is a total god-send.
The ‘Strictly Static Jacket‘ needs to jump into your closet ASAP. Doesn’t it just scream Richard Gere? $34 at Calico.
Did I mention they’re running a contest right now too?
From the blog: ” To celebrate the arrival of A Beautiful Life fragrances, Calico is giving away a bottle of I Heart Unicorns to one of our blog readers! To be entered to win, just leave a comment on this post, telling us your favorite vintage item at shopcalico.com. Enter until Wednesday, November 17, at 11:59PM EST. A winner will be chosen at random on Thursday morning.” What could be better than wearing perfume that shares its name with a beloved Ace of Base song? Yeah I didn’t think so.
hearts, stars + unicorns,

Seriously! I had never been before and I went for Calico’s anniversary party and since then it’s been a constant love affair. Make sure you enter her contest! Elissa says you’ll totally smell like a unicorn. LOLZZZZ xxheather
Love the store! I’m especially liking the Navy n’ Plaid Parka. I’ll definitely be paying the store a visit when I’m in New Bedford! Thanks for the giveaway!
