The Scout Guide Shops Taigan
People February 26th, 2013Christy Ford, who owns Taigan-favorite And George with her mother Jan Roden, strikes again, this time using her creative talents to venture into the publishing world. In 2010, Christy teamed up with her friend Susie Matheson to create The Scout Guide, a city guide that highlights the best of local business in their beloved Charlottesville, Virginia. Christy was an accomplished photographer in New York before relocating to Charlottesville, where she and Jan opened And George. Susie was a successful blogger with a large following, highlighting the best of local flavor in Charlottesville since 2009.

I LOVE The Scout Guide. It is wonderful to see their talented founders picks featured on Taigan. Hope to see a lot more from Christy & Susie.
I love The Scout Guide! I heard they’re coming to Atlanta and Chicago soon and can’t wait to see the books. The Wiley Brothers belts are fantastic – my fiance received one from his parents for Christmas and it’s just the right amount of rugged and refined.
Loving all The Scout Guide founders’ picks!! Especially those from Houston faves, FOUND and Claridge + King! I received The Big Book of Chic as a gift, and I flip through it every day for inspiration…
Great picks! I am wearing my ring from Marion Cage today!
Nothing better than a beautiful Scout Guide to weave my way through some pretty amazing places across the country! Kudos Scout!
GREAT selection! Love Jules Reid from Virginia Beach. That coat is a perfect transitional piece from winter to spring!
Rarely does one find the coincidence ease and taste online. With my thanks and congrats.
Thank you Christy and Susie for including the hand – monogrammed Julia B. cocktail napkins in pink and grey in your picks! With appreciation, Julia B.
Love The Scout Guide! Every City needs one. Excited to see Middleburg’s Stitch made the fav list! Thanks Christy & Susie – look forward to many more great Scout finds!
