Welcome!

Hi everyone,

Happy Monday! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. It was HOT here, but we also unfortunately had some rain. Rain + humidity = not so fun :( How was everyone else’s weekend?

It’s time for this week’s Moody Monday! And in lieu of launching our Summer 2015 Collections last week, today we are featuring our Under the Sea by Heather Rosas Collection. Under the Sea is our fun and whimsical collection of beautiful mermaids, adorable sea creatures, and super-neat scale prints. From the cheery crabs to the happy fishies, this collection brings us all of the things we love most about the ocean in its coral, green, and aqua hues! We could imagine a little one’s mermaid costume, complete with her own mermaid tail or an “under the sea” inspired bedroom, complete with mermaid pillows and a cozy crab quilt.

Peruvian designer Jessica Butrich’s Spring 2014 collection was very much inspired by the beach. With its cool seafoam and coral colors, effortless crop tops and high-waisted bottoms, and pretty nautical stripes – we could imagine wearing all of her outfits on our next cruise or Mediterranean vacation! We especially adored the design and colors  on this top, which was reminiscent of our beloved crab print. An absolutely stunning outfit! You can also check out the rest of the collection here.

We hope you have enjoyed today’s post! We’d love to know what your ideal vacation would be, and what your dream suitcase would hold inside. We’re going to keep dreaming, haha. Have a great day!

Happy Sewing!

Hi everyone,

Happy Monday! How was everyone’s weekend? It was sooo hot and humid here, but oh-so nice. It was the perfect weekend for a bit of swimming, and then staying indoors with the AC ;)

Let’s start off our week with our Moody Monday! Today we are featuring our A Marsala Moment by Jack!e McFee for Camelot Fabrics. A Marsala Moment is our luxurious and warm collection of blue, marsala, and metallic copper. From the gorgeous sheen of the copper to the bold hue of Pantone’s color of the year, A Marsala Moment is one stylish collection. Amp up the luxe factor of any interior space with some AMM accessories – a copper & marsala throw quilt, some pillows, and some tabbed curtains! As well, get ready for a night on the town. Throw on your favorite LBD, and add a AMM clutch for a pop of color!

Marco de Vincenzo‘s Spring 2014 Collection was moody and unique. From embroidery decals to perforated jackets, there were lots of fun details in this collection. The colors were very much fall-inspired: dark emerald, navy, and marsala were the star hues, in contrasting textures and fabrications. We loved the asian-inspired influence of his collection, with a modern twist. We especially adored this shift dress, which was reminiscent of our A Marsala Moment collection. So on-trend and gorgeous!

I hope you have been inspired by today’s Moody Monday! I’d love to know what summer trends or colors you are excited about trying. Have a fantastic day!

Hi everyone,

Happy Monday! I hope you all had a lovely weekend. To all our Americans, hope you had an amazing 4th of July weekend! :)

Starting off our week with our Moody Monday! Today we are featuring our Skylanders Collection by the Camelot Design Studio. Skylanders is an interactive video game series that brings “toys to life”. Characters based on eight elemental categories – earth, magic, air, fire, water, life, teach, and undead – go through different adventures in the land of Skylands to defend their world from varying threats. The ultimate goal is protect the world of Skylands from “Kaos”, as the Skylanders want to maintain peace & balance in their world. Good over evil – very cool theme for a game, we think. Three additional series have since been introduced, as well as three new elements known as the Trap team (kaos, light, and dark). Our Skylanders Collection is a representation of the game that many gamers enjoy – from the beloved Skylanders characters to the bright blues & yellows, this is a really fun collection!

Diane Von Furstenberg’s Spring 2013 collection was elegant and classy, just as the designer herself. Splashes of blues and orange made this collection feel like summertime, like sipping on a orange julep by the water. There was a wonderful flow to every outfit, with lightweight fabrics of silk and chiffon to drape around the models. But of course, even with a summer-inspired collection, there was an effortless elegance and femininity to each piece. And of course, we can’t forget her infamous wrap dresses! We especially loved this jumpsuit, that was powerful and gorgeous, especially with the metallic belt. Another stunning collection from DVF!

We hope you have enjoyed today’s Moody Monday! We’d love to know what summer trends you are excited about. Any fun colours you’re excited to wear? Let us know. Have a relaxing rest of the day!

Hi everyone,

Happy Monday! I hope you all had a lovely weekend, ready to rock another week!! :)

It’s time for this week’s Moody Monday! Today we are featuring our gorgeous Green with Envy by Jackie McFee Collection. Green with Envy is our luscious botanical collection of rich navy and green hues. Mixing in some modern geometrics and fun chevrons in different shades of our beloved green color, Green with Envy is the collection of collections for our fellow green enthusiasts (also available in our double gauze!). Decorate your space to have a cozy, earthy feel with some GWE tabbed curtains and a standout bed quilt.

Michael Kors’ Spring 2014 collection was wonderfully nature-inspired, with its cool earth tone color palette and botanical prints. Beautiful navy, woodsy, and leaf green prints draped against each model to create an ethereal feel. We especially adore his green leaf prints, such as this outfit here, which was reminiscent of our Green with Envy collection. Perfectly fit for a woodland fairy!

Hope today’s Moody Monday has inspired you. We’d love to know what trends you are most excited about for the Summer weather. Have an awesome day!

Hi everyone,

Happy Monday! I hope you all are had a wonderful Father’s Day weekend!! It was such a lovely weekend for us, which was spent outdoors swimming and BBQing :)

Let’s start off this week with our Moody Monday! Today we are taking a complete 180 with season, and featuring our Winter Wonderland by Heather Rosas collection. The blue, grey, and pink hues are uplifting and cozy in this charmingly cute collection of winter characters. From the regal ice princess to the sweet penguins, polar bears, and foxes wearing winter gear, Winter Wonderland truly is full of magic & delight! Yes, it’s Summer now but hey – there’s never a wrong time for adorable prints, right? ;) We can imagine a winter-themed quilt or pillow, as well as these dreamy tabbed curtains.

This Pierre Balmain Spring collection was so bright and modern. There was a definite street wear feel to all of his outfits (all the outfits were styled perfectly for the model’s to head to an event after the show!), which is not something you see all the time on a runway. Lots of colorful Spring jackets, printed capris and shorts, and fun textural pairings (leather & lace, satin & animal print). One of the really fun jackets was this snowflake printed one, which we LOVED. It was so cool and reminded us of our Winter Wonderland collection.

We hope we have inspired you with today’s Moody Monday! We’d love to know what your favorite Summer trends for the year are. Have an awesome rest of the day!

Happy Sewing!
