Personalized Holiday Cards

HOLIDAY CARD POSTER 4Growing up and still to this day one of our favorite things about the holidays are the annual Christmas cards. Not only does it mean getting something a little more exciting in the mail besides bills and ads, but also getting to see what family and friend who live far away are up to. It’s a time to reconnect and spread some love.

So as we’re all starting to realize, thanks to stores already having full isles dedicated to Christmas, it’s that time of year again to start thinking about all the things that the holidays entail, including annual, holiday greeting cards.

Why not let us handle it this year and we’ll create a personal, holiday greeting for you that is sure to stand out among the rest?! You’ll also be happy to know that it will fit perfectly into your Christmas bugdet with illustrations starting at just $20 for 2 people and just $5 more per person.

If we’ve convinced you head over to our shop and follow the 3 simple steps above! We would LOVE the chance do an illustration for you!

Floral Maxi Skirt Refashion

As I’ve mentioned in the past, thrift shopping has become a weekly, sometimes bi-weekly or even tri-weekly, outing for me. I’m always on the lookout for pieces that will make a great refashion. I’m very particular about the styles and quality of clothing I pick up, so good finds are hard to come by for me. Recently, when Hanna was up visiting, we scored some A-M-A-Z-I-N-G thrift store finds and I have been dying to show you guys! We have some gorgeous maxi skirts in the works along with some other pieces that are still under wraps.

Since our refashioned pieces are “one-of-a-kind”, we wanted to give you the opportunity to claim it in your size before we actually complete the refashion. There is nothing worse then seeing something you feel you can’t live without only to realize it is not in your size!

Ok I’m freaking out right now that my baby girl is going to turn three next month! Oh, and that I’m currently six months pregnant with a nice round baby bump… unlike the pictures falsely portray above. We did this fun little mommy/daughter shoot last November, and with all the craziness of the holidays and the first trimester sickness, it got tucked away and forgotten. I came across them the other day and thought all this cuteness needed to be shared!

Also, I’ve kind of developed a new found love for our color block party skirts. Not that I ever stopped loving them, it’s just with all the projects and new additions we’ve added to our shop they too got tucked away like these pictures. In fact, I hadn’t even sewn up a color block skirt since December until just recently. Now I’ve sewn over ten color block skirt in the past three weeks, and with each one I fall more in love. The “in love” kind of sense where I pour my heart and soul into every stitch to make each skirt perfect, then get little butterflies in my stomach once I ship one off to it’s owner in anticipating their excitement once it arrives. It’s a sometimes stressful, yet thrilling and rewarding kind of love– sort of like being a mom.

As some of you may remember, I quite my daytime job last June to be able to stay at home with this little girl and to pursue some of my other dreams. It was an adjustment at first, but I love it! …Ok lets be real, some days I feel like I might be going crazy. Being a mom can be really hard, then add being a housekeeper, cook, and business owner (and pregnant) on top of that and it is like insanity, but I still LOVE it! Like I said, sometimes stressful, yet ever so rewarding.

As for these lovely skirts, both are available in our shop for custom orders! Mother’s Day is coming up, and how cute would matching mother-daughter skirts be?!

XOXO,

Sara


Color Block Maxi Skirt Style Inspiration

Today Sara and I put together some outfit inspirations featuring our Color Block Maxi Skirt. I’ve mentioned this a couple times now, but this skirt is seriously one of my favorite skirts! I guess it’s just me through and through; simple and comfortable. I also love versatile pieces. Sara taught me the importance of having these kinds of pieces in your wardrobe through her Wardrobe Basic’s series.  So take a look at some similar outfit inspirations for an everyday, casual look to a date night look. We feel these are outfits that are fresh and trendy yet simple enough for anyone to pull off without feeling like you have to go shopping. I guess it’s always nice to have an excuse though right?

For our casual look I just had to pair this skirt with a graphic tee. Now that I’ve found my way into the world of graphic tees I can’t get enough and I may wear them a little too much if that is possible. My favorite tees right now are from Sweet T’s Design. I have two including this “Hello Weekend” tee and they are SO soft and comfortable yet at the same time I don’t feel like I’m wearing some old, basic t-shirt.

To dress things up a little, we love the idea of a loose blouse with a structured jacket or blazer; add in a high wedged sandal and you’re set for a night on the town!

Do you see yourself wearing either of these looks?
