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 fantastic weekend. Woke up to quite the dreary and wet morning, but it’s National Best Friends Day! So call all of your best girlies to let them know just how much they mean to you. Cause let’s face it, our lives would definitely not be as much fun without them!

Time for this week’s Moody Monday! Today we are featuring one of our Spring 2015 collections, Make a Wish by Alisse Courter. Make a Wish is a very pretty and ethereal collection of fluttery feathers and blossoms in lavender, mint, gray, and grapefruit hues. It reminds us of running through a field of beautiful blooms, barefoot and wearing a lightweight frock, cascaded by the warm sunrise. This dreamy collection is also available in our double gauze, a lightweight fabric perfect for swaddle blankets and summery scarves.

Let’s get inspired by the runway! Valentino’s Spring Couture Collection was dreamy and soft, with lots of billowy fabrics and flowing dresses. Feminine florals and jewels adorn each dress, complete with ethereal capes and princess sleeves. We can imagine all of these dresses in a princesses wardrobe, all ready to picked for the next affair. One dress that especially caught our eyes was this dress, that was reminiscent of our Make a Wish Collection. Such a stunning collection!

We hope we have inspired you with this week’s Moody Monday! We’d love to know what trends you have been loving for the season. Have a fantastic day!

Hi everyone,

Happy Monday!! We hope you all had a wonderful weekend! We have been hosting our Coraline FQ Bundle Giveaway on our Facebook Page this week, so be sure to enter!! :)

It’s also time to kick off another great week with our Moody Monday! Today we are featuring our Gypsy Lane by Jane Farnham Collection, a fresh and bright collection to inspire us into the warmer months. Gypsy Lane is full of vivacious hues: bright pink, orange, and turquoise take center-stage in gorgeous floral and dragonfly prints. The lively prints are happy and fun, and would brighten up any space or project. We adore the idea of a Gypsy Lane clutch or skirt; you will definitely be a standout amongst the crowd, in the best way. Add a punch of color to any neutral room with some Gypsy Lane throw pillows or a quirky quilt, for some added pizazz.

Aquilano Rimondi’s Spring RTW 2015 Collection was very fresh and earthy, definitely reminiscent of everything we love about Spring. Chiffon-y materials, light colors, and beautiful flowers dressed each model to create feminine silhouettes. Dragonfly, floral, and butterfly prints were among the patterns Rimondi used, to create ethereal, lightweight shift dresses and skirts. We would love to wear one of the dresses and dance around in a field of flowers – that’s how this collection makes us feel. We adore this dragonfly dress, reminiscent of our dragonfly print in Gypsy Lane.

We hope we have inspired you with today’s post. We’d love to know what has been inspiring you as of late. You can find the full Gyspy Lane Collection here. Have a great day!

Hi everyone,

Happy Monday! We hope everyone had a fantastic weekend; the first weekend of Spring! We’ve been hit with a couple of super cold days, but we’re hoping it’s just the last of them.

Time for this week’s Moody Monday! Today we are featuring our Zoey Collection by the Camelot Design Studio, from our Winter 2015 Launch. Zoey is a beautifully feminine collection of soft blue, mint, and peach hues in paisley, floral, and lattice prints. So delicate and pretty, our Zoey Collection would be the perfect compliment to a feminine bedroom or living space. We can imagine some lovely Zoey throw pillows, billowy curtains, and a soft peach-grey quiltto match. As well, have brunch (with mimosas, of course!) with your girlfriends in a Zoey tea dress – and you’ll be extra chic and fabulous!

Dior’s Spring 2015 RTW Collection gives a whole new meaning to “girly with a futuristic edge”. Mixing clean-cut shapes with feminine colors & prints, Dior’s Spring Collection features their classic 50s silhouettes but with a twist – full skirts with capes, pretty florals with cutout tanks, culottes with pastel cocoon jackets. We absolutely adore the juxtaposition of using different style genres! We’re loving this outfit, reminiscent of a print in our Zoey Collection.

You can check out the full Zoey Collection here. We hope we’ve inspired you with this week’s Moody Monday… Have a great day!

Happy Sewing!
