Welcome!

Hi everyone,

Happy Tuesday! I hope you all are having an amazing one. If you’ve got a bit of the winter blues, today’s post will definitely brighten up your day!

Today’s How To’s Day is of our Hang Time Quilt by Happy Quilting Designs. This one features our Kaleidoscope collection, which is a whimsical and bright collection of festive confetti, lovely mandalas, and cool ikat prints in a purple, mint, and coral colorway. We just love the happiness that exudes from this collection, and thought it would be a perfect fit for Hang Time. We chose a gradation of color, which looks stunning within the intricate design.

Hi everyone!

Happy Monday! I hope everyone had a lovely weekend!! :)

Starting off our week with our Moody Monday. Today we are featuring our Kaleidoscope by the Camelot Design Studio collection. Kaleidoscope is a modern and fresh collection of playful confetti, cool ikats, and gorgeous mandala prints in a purple, mint, and peach colorway. This collection takes inspiration from one of your childhood toy favorites – the kaleidoscope – with the dispersion of different colors and patterns having kept us entertained for hours. We could imagine a standout dress, with a lovely confetti effect or an awesome teen’s bedroom with Kaleidoscope decor.

Monique Lhuillier‘s Spring 2015 collection was the epitome of feminine and elegant. Her collection was full of gorgeous ball gown-styled dresses, mixed with playful textures of iridescence, metallic crinkle, beading, and tulle. We absolutely adore how she took feminine silhouettes and styles, and added a modern twist to them with texture. We especially adored this dress, with the confetti technique being reminiscent of our Kaleidoscope prints. Such a phenomenal look!

We hope we have inspired you with today’s post! We’d love to know what trends you’re excited to try for Spring. Have a great day!!

Hi everyone!

Happy Friday! I hope you all are having a fantastic one. Woohoo – it’s just about the weekend!!

Ending our week with our Fan Friday! Today we are sharing the most precious of dresses, made by Chonte Simmons of DaeMoo & Co. DaeMoo & Co. started when Chonte wanted to her daughters to dress uniquely, while accessorizing and expressing their individual girly styles with bracelets, necklaces, and other fun accessories. Pursuing her own love for handbags, she started to design and make her own – along with diaper bags – and her business continued to blossom from there. Now she designs and sells all sort of unique pieces for both mommy and kids. Her shop name is inspired by her daughters, Journey (Dae) and Jordyn (Moo), and adores all the pretty fabric (especially anything sparkly!).

Chonte recently came across our Love Letters by Jane Farnham collection. Inspired by the sweet patterns and muted colors, she chose to make an adorable tea-styled little girl’s dress. We love how she chose to create a dress out of the gift tag print, and complimented it perfectly with a pastel peach peter pan collar & sash. And the lace trim – so feminine and pretty! We just adore this dress, and can imagine a darling little girl twirling around in this dress!

Thank you so much, Chonte, for the fabric love and for sharing it with us on Instagram! What a lovely treat to end the week… Have a fantastic weekend everyone! :)
