Welcome!

Hi everyone!

Happy Monday! We hope everyone had a restful weekend. As well…Happy St. Patrick’s Day everyone!! May your day (and all the days forward) be filled with good health, good luck, and happiness – the three virtues that represent each leaf on a shamrock. We hope you find your pot of gold at the end of the rainbow today! :)

To start our week, we are going to share with you some fabric and color inspiration with today’s Moody Monday post. Today we are going to inspire you with our Neon & On by Jackie McFee collection. Just as the name implies, this is a stunning neon infused collection. Yup, you read right – a neon fabric collection!! Our Neon & On by Jackie McFee collection is a lovely array of neon pink, green, and yellow geometric prints against a white background to really make the colors pop. There is no shying away with this fabric collection, as the neon colors are very vibrant and luminous – exactly as you would imagine neon to be!

Our Neon & On by Jackie McFee collection is perfect for adding pops of color to your outfit with a neon bag, skirt, or headband while keeping the rest of the outfit neutral (unless you’re even more bold, then neon all the way!). As well, our neon fabric collection would look stunning as a pop of color in any room décor. This collection screams fun, effortless, and vivacious – and that’s just how you will feel with Neon & On by Jackie McFee. You can check out the full collection here!

Spring is just around the corner (at least according to our calendar!), so we have been excitedly filling our wardrobes with pretty things to wear for the upcoming season. Neon colors are always “in” for Spring and Summer, and a perfect way to break away from the many darker colors and layers of the colder months. After being bundled up for that long, bring on as much color as possible we say! One collection that we especially loved for Spring 2014 was Lulu Frost’s latest collection. Although Lulu Frost is an accessories brand, their NYFW display was a color-infused, show-stopping experience. Their latest Spring collection is called “Neon Baroque” and they grabbed inspiration from that for their show. The models were dressed in ethereal neon tulle skirts and crop tops, their décolletages and wrists saturated with stacks of the glistening jewels that also carried on the neon trend. You can check out the full collection here, as well as the Lulu Frost website for more!

Thank you so much for checking out this week’s Moody Monday! We hope we have inspired you. Wishing everyone a luck-filled day!

Hi everyone!

Happy Monday! We hope everyone had a wonderful weekend. It was Spring Forward yesterday, so although we will get the benefit of having more sunshine throughout the day…getting up to having lost an hour on Sunday was definitely not fun. Alas, this only means that Spring is coming soon! :)

Let’s start off this week with our Moody Monday! Today we are inspiring you with our Fox Friends by Allison Cole collection, from Winter 2014. Fox Friends is another one of our kid-friendly, novelty collections that we just absolutely adore!! The main hues in Fox Friends are pink, mint, red, and brown creating a very sweet and ethereal feel to the collection. The adorable foxes, friendly clouds, and gentle birds make this a very happy and quirky collection, perfect for all the tiny adventurers you know! Fox Friends would make the prettiest dresses and skirts, or a woodsy themed bedroom! Imagine some lovely curtains, pillows, or girly quilt with our Fox Friends collection…oh how cute right?!! You can check out the full collection here!

One fashion collection that is inspiring us this week is Calvin Klein’s  Spring 2014 RTW collection. The colors in his latest collection are soft and subtle, but with tiny splashes of color that make a statement. The main color palette of this collection is green hues, pinks, creams, and browns. The mixture of these soft colors are very springtime and vacation appropriate, with a very relaxed and beach-y feel.

We especially love this outfit, as well as this one and this one as they especially encapsulate the mood of Fox Friends. The feel of this collection and choices in hues reminds us of our Fox Friends by Allison Cole color palette. You can check out the full collection here.

Hi everyone!

Happy Monday! We hope everyone is having a wonderful start to the week. It’s officially March, and we are very excited for Spring to arrive. That means warmer breezes, luscious greenery, and pretty flowers…okay, Mother Nature? :) Meanwhile, St Patrick’s Day is coming up and we’re conjuring up some fun and lucky things in the office.

Today is Moody Monday on the blog and we’re here to inspire you! This week we are showcasing our What’s Cookin’ by Allison Cole collection. This is a very vibrant and vivacious collection, with a mixture of tomato red, dark grey, mustard, and blues. Kitchen tools, vegetables, and flora combine together to make this collection very kitsy and eclectic. Mushrooms, tomatoes, carrots…this collection is making us hungry too! It is the perfect collection for a modern kitchen – imagine tea towels, aprons, and a little one’s chef hat with our What’s Cookin’ by Allison Cole collection! Oh so much fun, right? :)

The fashion scene is always two steps ahead of its time, and the colors in What’s Cookin’ are perfectly in tune with autumn. One collection that particularly sparks some contrast is Manish Arora’s stunning collection. This RTW Fall/Winter 2013-2014 collection enthuses rich hues of that greatly resembles What’s Cookin’. The richness of the colors of blues, yellow, red, and grey are stunning, along with the amazing embellishments of each piece. Each outfit is very much a work of art with jewelled collars, exquisite prints, and wonder uses of color. Manish Arora’s collection is luxurious, just as a woman should feel wearing any of these pieces. You can check out the full collection here.

Thank you so much for reading this week’s Moody Monday. We hope you were inspired! Have a great day! :)

Hi everyone!

Happy Monday! We hope everyone had a fantastic and restful weekend. It is officially the last week of February…wow, this month honestly flew by! We are very excited for March to arrive, as Spring comes along at the end…and we’re hoping for reflective weather. Here’s to a great end to February!

It’s time to kick-start this awesome week with some Moody Monday inspiration. With Spring on our minds, today we are inspiring you with our Beyond the Backyard by Jane Farnham collection. Beyond the Backyard is a vibrant and cheerful collection of brilliant purple, pink, orange, and green hues. The designs on this collection are very Spring inspired, infused with leaf and floral prints. The colours are warm and comforting, with the patterns having a retro-vibe. Such a wonderful collection for a cute, Spring dress or nature-inspired bedroom set!

Keeping with the color scheme of Beyond the Backyard, we are sharing an eclectic Fall 2013 RTW collection by Rag & Bone. A little bit more fall inspired, but bursting with great mixes in color palette, Rag & Bone‘s collection is very structured and streamlined with a masculine twist. The rugged feel from the tougher textures from the leather, tweed, and herringbone are juxtaposed with fun colors (purple, olive green, and orange)! The unique mixes of colors in each outfit remind us of our Beyond the Backyard collection. You can check out the full collection here!

We hope you have been inspired with today’s Moody Monday! Have you entered our Chalkboard Fabric Giveaway? Let us know what you would create with our chalkboard fabric for a chance to win here :)

Hi everyone!

Happy Monday! We hope everyone had a fantastic weekend, and a great Valentine’s day spent with all your loved ones. The possibilities are endless, so here’s to a wonderful new week! :)

Today is also Moody Monday on the blog! We are sharing with you another fantastic collection of ours, Playground by Vita Mechachonis from our Winter 2014 collections. We hope we can inspire you today!

Playground by Vita Mechachonis is a very fun and exciting collection with a children’s twist on what playtime truly is…all about having a blast with your friends at the park and learning new things! Playground includes all the things that make playtime the best time – swings, slides, balloons, lively animals, and more in a mix of blue, orange, and red tones. This collection will bring great nostalgia to your childhood days, and is the perfect accessory for all your little one’s dress wear! Playground reminds us all that we are never too old to have fun! :)

The great month of fashion week is upon us, and we have definitely been inspired by the looks we have seen! One in particular inspires us with our Playground by Vita Mechachonis collection. In London, Roksanda Illincic’s Fall 2014 RTW collection was an exuberant burst of blues and oranges, very reminiscent of Playground. Not only were the colors inspirational, but each outfit and piece exuded a playful and unique style that made us swoon. We especially adored the mix of colors within the outfits: cornflower blue and taupe, navy and brown, & orange and black – SUCH a fantastic collection! You can check out the full collection here for details.
