Hi everyone!

 

 

 

It’s Monday!! Hope everyone is having a fantastic day. We are currently having a wonderful time at Quilt Market, day three!!

 

Let’s make this a great start to the week! With another Monday comes another Moody Monday. Today is the wonderful mix of chilly but sunny outside…such pretty autumn weather. Today’s weather has reminded us of one of our collections that is the perfect combination of yellow and gray color hues, the right juxtaposition of cool and bright. That’s right! Today’s Moody Monday is inspired by Gray Matters More by Jackie McFee.

Grazing the runways once again, we have found a noteworthy fashion collection that is very much in tune with Gray Matters. Calla’s RTW Fall 2013 Collection is an eccentric blend of bright pops of colors and neutrals, but it is the use of grays and yellows that really catches our eyes. The Fall 2013 Collection includes dresses, skirts, jackets, and more all infused with splashes of grays and yellows – we definitely approve! You can see the full collection by clicking here. This is one collection where gray really does matter…and so does yellow!

 

With the amass of positive feedback from Gray Matters, we had launched Gray Matters More by Jackie McFee in our new Fall 2013 collections. We are sure that all the Gray Matters fans will love this collection just as much. You can see the designs by clicking here. You can also follow Jackie on her blog, twitter, and Facebook!

 

 

 

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone!

 

 

 

Happy Monday! Today is the start to another wonderful week (single digit countdown to Quilt Market!!) …and with that, we bring to you another Moody Monday! This autumn season, adorable creatures have been seen everywhere – owls, foxes, raccoons – and with their rich, warm colors to match…we have been inspired! Thus, we have decided to share our Frolicking Forest by Heather Rosas Moodboard with you all today.

 

With the autumn season officially upon us, it’s that time of year to don all your favorite oversized scarves and chunky knit sweaters with the intentions of keeping warm. But, bundling up doesn’t mean we can’t still look cute and stylish. This season we’ve been seeing lots of fun, graphic sweaters faced with our sweet, furry friends, both on the runway and in high-street stores. We adore the mix of feminine and playful a beautiful sweater with a fox print gives, and it can be dressed up or down accordingly with a pair of boyfriend jeans, over a tulle dress, or with a collared button up for the workplace. Some of our favorites are from J.CrewMaison Kitsune, Old Navy, Lacoste, Balenciaga, and Markus Lupfer.

 

 

Frolicking Forest by Heather Rosas is a rich color-infused collection of deep, fall hues of oranges, greens, blues, and browns adorned with hedgehog, fox, raccoon, and owl prints. Our moodboard showcases this collection wonderfully, with its woodsy and cozy feel. The collection is cheerful and bright, just as you will be this autumn with your animal-printed sweater, phone case, and DIY pillows to match. Here’s to all the darling forest creatures that make us smile and go “awww”!

Hi everyone,

 

 

Happy Monday! And to our fellow Canadians, we hope you are having a loving and restful long weekend. Happy Thanksgiving! “Not what we say about our blessings, but how we use them, is the true measure of our thanksgiving.” – W. T. Purkiser

 

It’s also Moody Monday! Today we bring to you our moodboard inspired by Jackie McFee’s Kabloom! from our Summer 2013 collection.

Kabloom! is a fantastic rupture of florals and mod patterns in bold hues of fuchsias, blues, and greens. When we see this wonderfully color-infused collection, we think eccentric, confidence, and fashion-forward.

 

One collection that particularly inspires us, from the recent Spring 2014 RTW fashion shows, is that of Emilio Pucci. Pucci, always meticulously successful with his bright color and print choices, displayed a wide array of fun hues for Spring 2014. All of his flawlessly mixed and complimentary outfits are definitely “Kabloom!” worthy. Be sure to check out the collection here!

Hello everyone!

 

 

Happy Monday! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. Here’s to the beginning of another wonderful week!

 

With Mondays come another fun Moody Monday post! Today we are featuring Iconic from our Fall 2013 collections.

 

When we think of the word Iconic, the great classics comes to mind…Coco Chanel, Gone with the Wind, Breakfast at Tiffany’s, and of course Jackie O. Clothed with grace and class, Jackie O’s style is still seen today as the epitome of “ladylike” and the muted navy, pinks, and taupe colors in our Iconic fabric collection bring together that resonating feel of elegance.

 

Turning  back to the 21st century to another brilliant Jackie, Jackie Lee of J JS Lee. Jackie’s Spring 2014 RTW collection encapsulates a wonderful mix of twenties and fifties influences in hues of navy, pinks, crisp whites, and turquoise that we adore. The boxy cuts, sleek silhouettes, subdued grid prints, and stunning hues are perfect inspirations to our Iconic collection. Click here to see more of Jackie’s Spring collection.

Have a wonderful day!
