Yesterday was a very exciting day. The Shop Tart finally made a decision about a swimsuit (a Marysia Charleston two-piece, for the curious). She was in VanJean buying the suit when she spotted the cutest shopper. Always subtle, the Shop Tart chased her into the parking lot and asked if she could snap a quick picture for the Look of the Week. Kristi Till, who happens to be the owner of Kicks of Aiken, was such a good sport! She’s wearing an adorable top by Milly, navy blue bootcut pants and a great pair of red patent leather heels by Claudia Ciuti. The thing that sent the Shop Tart into the parking lot, though, was that fabulous yellow bag by Francesco Biasia.

Look of the Week May 28, 2008So, here’s the shocker. Kristy had a question.

“Are you sure you want my picture? With me being pregnant?”

Those fabulous navy pants? Maternity! The Shop Tart thought surely Kristy had just learned she was pregnant. In fact, she’s six months along. The Shop Tart looked like a house at six months, a cute bungalow maybe, but a house nonetheless. Kristy is just gorgeous, isn’t she? Maybe when the baby comes, she’ll need a diaper bag and won’t want that beautiful bag she’s carrying. Maybe she’ll give it to the Shop Tart. Then again, maybe not! Next time she’s in town, Kristy should take a look at the Petunia Picklebottom Diaper Bags at Tickled Pink, or order something custom made by owner and seamstress Caroline Glenn!
