Florist Yasmine Khatib's California Inspired Closet Also Boasts a Cape Collection - Racked LA
Monday, March 07, 2016It's also California made (I was born and raised in the Golden State and have a lot of CA pride). The vintage scarf is from a thrift store in Tuscon. My aunt gave me the straw clutch. It was hers when she was my age in the late sixties.Describe your style in three words:Victorian meets fifties (and sixties, and seventies). With a California twist.What LA boutique is your happy place?Individual Medley. Even if this store wasn't owned by one of my best friends, I'd still list it as my favorite. It's like my beautifully curated second home.What fashion item are you obsessed with buying right now?I started a cape collection when I was 19, visiting chilly Philadelphia for the first time. Since then I've added a few capes to my closet every year. Some are light and end at my elbows, others are thick, heavy wool and drag on the ground. The collection makes little sense, as I live in LA, and it's rarely cold enough. But I love them aesthetically. I even had a custom cape made, so it could fit my narrow shoulders just right.What are you currently on the hunt for?Beautifully worn-in, vintage southwestern boots. I'm also always in the market for vintage white blouses. They're a coveted rarity.Who's your style crush?I don't really have one. I'm often inspired by old photographs, that I rifle through at thrift stores, of women in the fifties and sixties. Oh, and postcards of stylish women in the thirties in Mexico. I've been really into off-the-shoulder white blouses and long, flowing skirts lately. http://la.racked.com/2016/2/26/11101732/yasmine-khatib-floral-design-los-angeles-style-crush
Dayton Tennessee, pop up flower shop – The Triangle - Triangle
Sunday, February 28, 2021Dayton, Tennessee, is filling up with heart-shaped items and red roses. I recently met a local business owner, Lacey Raburn, who owns Raburn Acres. Raburn Acres is a local flower farm and florist that has been in Dayton for the past three years. I met Lacey at a pop-up flower shop hosted at Jennings Coffee & Tea. She brought in six buckets filled with colorful bouquets, and people began rolling in. Within 30 minutes, she had sold out. Lacey has a pop-up shop every Thursday morning from 10:30-12:30 at Jennings. She and her family have a farm where they plant and grow all their own flowers, which she crafts into some amazing bouquets and sells to the community. Lacy is currently working on creating her own workshop, she used to create all the bouquets from her kitchen counter, but as of January, she said, “I went from selling 15-20 bouquets each week to selling 50-60 every week.” She just opened a self-serve mini flower stand across from the golf course in Dayton. Lacey has an incredible eye for creating different types of bouquets for any type of event. Eleanor Sanford is a Senior at Bryan College majoring in Communications, Media, and Culture.

Sunday, February 28, 2021The nation’s oldest continuously family-owned and operated florist is celebrating its eighteenth decade serving Muskingum County customers.Imlay Florist, located in downtown Zanesville, will have its busiest day of the year Sunday, for Valentine’s Day, as fifth-generation owner Dave Imlay, his wife, Katie Imlay and dedicated staff work to fulfill a large number of bouquets and arrangements.Originally started as a nursery in New Concord by William Smith Imlay in 1841, the New Jersey native slowly grew his business before relocating to Putnam Avenue and opening a greenhouse.William’s son, John Dillion Imlay, would get cut flowers out of his father’s greenhouse and peddle them downtown on his bicycle to sell.Eventually, the young entrepreneur was able to grow the business enough that he was able to rent a small space out of a drug store located at the corner of Market Street and North 5th Street where the Pollock Apartments stand today.John was then able to save up the money needed to purchase a one-room building along the same block of 5th Stree... https://ycitynews.com/20606/events/imlay-florist-celebrates-180-years-as-a-family-owned-business-in-local-community/
