Add a little personal style and a mundane chore takes on a whole new attitude. For Kathy, that means rolling down to Ava’s Market in a cozy tunic sweater, slouch booties and a hat-style helmet, all in shades of teal. Her bike? A cruiser in teal of course. If you see a flash of teal ride by in Mountain View, it’s got to be Kathy.
Whether it’s for her three-bag weekly shopping or a quick stop on her way home from work, Kathy loves Ava’s Market for its custom service. It’s small enough to take requests for stocking items, and big enough to have a deli with a rotisserie. Her secret: call in the morning and they’ll have a roasted chicken ready for her at 6pm.

- Kathy’s helmet is incognito under a hat with a silky sash, both in shades of teal.

- Teal slouch boots are hard to come by. Wherever did she find them?
-
- Even her bike earrings are teal. Not shown: the teal wisp in her silvery hair.

P.S. Kathy says the helmet came from a company called Bandbox and they are very nice about custom orders. http://bandboxllc.com
