Photo recap: Jenny Carle's outdoor fashion show at Design Vertigo

Last Friday evening, I took a trip to North St. Paul to attend an outdoor fashion show put on by charming new boutique Design Vertigo. It featured the Summer 2011 line by local designer Jenny Carle, and was adorably styled with retro 'dos (by BakkenWood Hair Studio) to fit with the vintage theme of the weekly North St. Paul History Cruzer Car Show. The entire street was blocked off and filled with parked vintage cars in candy colors, and the boutique's exterior was decorated to look like a county fair stand. Afterward, I grabbed an ice cream cone with my date, designer Maritza Ramirez, from an outdoor stand and a tap beer at a divey bar called Sidewinders. It was a little taste of small town magic in the Twin Cities.
