Owner of Park Slope's Hootie Couture, Houtte is an expert spying gems at flea markets and estate sales. You'll learn the ins and outs of the vintage business and also get her second hand style secrets in the "Vintage Shopper's Guide."

    Well, you know I am a vintage lovin' vegaquarian. The only fur I'd ever buy is "reused". However, a girl just told me I was still promoting the idea that it animal cruelty is okay.... true, I suppose. But then she said that if I ate meat (or wore leather, since I don't eat meat) I couldn't be an environmentalist. Hmmm? I'd rather put someone in grandma's old sweater than put them in a box like that. Next time I am in Park Slope I'll be looking for that shop. Thanks for the post Kyeann!!

    it's an e-book? or paper printed on FSC or post-consumer recycled paper with low-toxic ink?

    If not, remember lots of old-growth rainforest trees are chipped in developing nations to make paper. These forests can take thousands of years to reach ecological maturity.
