Alligators, Old Mink & New Money: One Woman's Adventures in Vintage Clothing by Alison Houtte & Melissa Houtte - It was like shopping vicariously. I enjoyed Alison Houtte's stories about her early days modeling and then how she came to own the vintage clothing store Hooti Couture. She includes lots of fun stories about the store and some of her best clothing finds. Fun girlfriend chatter over a memorable shared shopping experience!
