Welcome!

Hi everyone,

Happy Monday!! It was BEAUTIFUL out this weekend – warm and sunny, and it seemed like the whole city was happy and out-and-about. Also, Happy Star Wars Day!! May the 4th be with you :)

Starting off the week with our Moody Monday! Today we are featuring our Marvel: Immortals Collection by the Camelot Design Studio, that we officially launched last week. We launched three new “bestseller” collections – bringing back fan favorites of our best designs! Marvel: Immortals features your classic Spider-Man and the awesome Avengers team (Hulk, Iron Man, Captain America, Thor) – back at it again for another collection that is bright, and full of awesome-ness. All of your ultimate favorites are here, including the popular comic strip designs.

Topshop Unique Spring 2015 Collection was bold and fabulous! With a 70s “rollerskating gal” inspired feel, this Topshop Collection was all about midriffs, high-waisted pants, mini skirts, cropped jackets, and turtlenecks. The color palette was bright reds and blues, mixed with contrasting burgundy and white. So fun and preppy!! This outfit reminds us of our Marvel: Immortals Collection, from the colors down to its overall “superhero” feel.

I hope you enjoyed today’s Moody Monday! And to all our Star Wars enthusiasts – I’d love to know what you’ll be doing today to celebrate! Have an awesome May the 4th!!

Hi everyone,

Happy Monday! I hope you all had a wonderful weekend!! Finally got around to doing some Spring cleaning, starting with my mess of a closet haha. The result? Two bags full of clothing to donate. Woo!

Time to start off another great week with our Moody Monday! Today we are featuring one of the collections we launched last week – our Star Wars: Immortals Collection. Star Wars: Immortals is our collection of bestselling Star Wars designs…back and ready to be created into awesome, new projects! This collection features 16 of our fan favorite Star Wars designs; you’ve asked, and we’ve listened! From our classic comic prints to our bold galactic-inspired designs, Star Wars: Immortals has got it all. See the full collection here.

Balmain’s Spring 2015 Collection was bold and beautiful. We love the drama that was embodied in this collection, focusing on the use of structure color-blocking instead of patterned fabric. Balmain definitely was inspired by the future and outer space, as the whole collection was very galaxy-inspired, with the caged details, choker necklaces, and cool cutouts. The graphic-feel of this collection was perfectly reminiscent of our Star Wars: Immortals Collection. We especially loved this black and blue number!

We hope we have inspired you with today’s post. We’d love to know what trends you’re looking forward to for the springtime. And be sure to enter our giveaway, if you haven’t yet. Have a great day!

Hi everyone,

Happy Monday! I hope you had a fantastic weekend!! I spent a lovely day at a greenhouse, which housed gorgeous orchids and cacti, among other plants, a bridge, and majestic fountain. A perfect, sunny afternoon!

Time for some daily inspiration with our Moody Monday! Today we are featuring the last of our Mixology prints, our Woven design. Woven is a lovely textured, “cross-hatched” pattern, that works wonderfully with our Fresh Solids and newest collections. The simple design allows for it to easily be incorporated, with other designs, for any project you want to create. We also love mixing our Mixology prints among one another, the others being Herringbone, Honeycomb, and Tonic. We love the idea of a Mixology quilt – such as New Bohemian – so modern and clean!

Prabal Gurung’s Resort 2015 Collection was all about clean-cut lines, with a sports-inspired flair. Each piece was feminine and elegant, but had a fun edge to it – whether it be a zipper detail or cut hem. Prabal Gurung said his inspiration for his Resort Collection was a “one-stop shop from morning to evening.” We can definitely see the working woman go from the office to an event in all of Gurung’s latest designs. We’re also obsessed with the shoes he used for his show – the horizontal lines looked fab! One outfit that particularly sparked our interest was this dress, with the design being reminiscent of our Woven. It is the perfect day-to-night look!

We hope you have enjoyed this week’s Moody Monday! We’d love to know what trends you’re looking forward to trying for Spring. Have a great day, everyone!

Hi everyone,

Happy Monday!! Welcome back to another week on the blog! It was such a beautiful weekend here, our first official “Spring-like” day. I spent it strolling along some cool neighborhoods, and took in the sun with some delicious iced tea. It was perfect!

Time to start off the week with our Moody Monday! Today we are featuring another of our Mixology prints – our collections of blending fabrics, that match perfectly with our colors and collections. Tonic is our bubbly dots print, the scattered mini dots making it a perfect blending print for any of your projects – whether it be a bag, pillow, or quilt! From neutrals to pops of colors, Tonic has a color that would suit you. As well, we recently launched a couple of new Fresh Solids in our collection, including Orange Soda and Minty – which are also in Tonic prints!

Thakoon’s Spring 2015 RTW Collection features fun mixes of white and black, in different patterns and textures – with fun pops of burgundy and aqua. Thakoon stayed true to his classic, suit silhouette with a twist. He shared beautiful chiffon dresses, in chiffon and satin fabrics, that flowed effortlessly as the models walked. All of Thakoon’s pieces definitely reminded us of a cool trip to the Mediterranean. His dotted dress was reminiscent of our Tonal print in black; we loved the mix of different dot sizes in the dress. So pretty!

We hope we have inspired you with today’s post! We’d love to know what you’re most excited to be rocking for the warmer weather. Have a great day!

Hi everyone!

Happy Easter Monday! I hope you all had a fantastic Easter weekend, and that the Easter bunny was good to you. We definitely got our fill of chocolate, donuts, and macaroons today with our office Easter hunt! Yup, always will be kids at heart ;)

Today is our Moody Monday! We are featuring another design from our Mixology Collection, a group of designs that can be “mixed” with other collections for your projects. All of the designs in our Mixology Collection match perfectly with our Fresh Solids, and colors from our latest collections, so you’ll be able to find perfect blending patterns. There are four different designs, including our adorable honeycomb prints. In a range from cool blues to luscious sorbets, our honeycomb prints would work well on their own, or mixed with one of our collections.

Kiernan Shipka dazzled at People’s “One to Watch” Party last year, in a dark blue, honeycomb-printed ruffled-hem shift dress. We fell in love with this classic silhouette on the young Hollywood star, making her look sophisticated. Her dress was the “standout”, keeping her hair in a loose up-do and minimal jewelry. The honeycomb print was reminiscent of the navy colorway of our honeycomb collection. We loved how classy she looked in navy. Such a great alternative to the LBD!

We hope we’ve inspired you today! We are so excited for all the new Spring trends, coming soon! We’d love to know what trends you are looking forward to most. Have a great day, everyone! :)

Happy Sewing!
