Dana Falconberry's picks

Yesterday I got a visit from my gorgeous and amazingly talented friend Dana Falconberry, who dropped by to find a dress to wear for her trip to Saint Louis. Dana is one of my favorite people of all time. I've known her almost as long as I've lived in Austin and I've proudly watched her musical career take off and send her touring all over the world, and even gotten to lend a hand as her occasional roadie and stylist! And if you think I'm a big fan, you should see my mother.

Dana's country-folk charm shines through best in fitted 50's frocks, so I put her in some of my favorites in the store right now. She's constantly flitting in and out of town, but whatever you have to do to catch one of her shows, do it! I promise you won't regret it. 

Have a great trip, darling, and thanks for modeling!

I'm calling this sweet little cream lace number the Clementine dress, after one of my favorite of Dana's songs.

This Oh, Skies of Blue dress ended up in Dana's suitcase. Isn't it darling?

I lent Dana a stack of Victorian dresses and blouses for this shoot back when we were still working together at the restaurant. That feels like ages ago now.

Dana did an entire tour playing at different vintage stores around the country. When she came back, we did this shoot for the Statesman at the vintage store I was buying for at the time. 

This dress looked so cute on Dana I couldn't imagine it on anyone else and had to give it to her after.

Dana is one of the primary musicians featured in a beautifully shot documentary on the Austin music scene called Echotone, and you can read a review of it from the New York Times here. Check out this clip of her performing another one of my favorites, "Possom Song".
