Create This Look – 2 Tone Chiffon – Tiffany Blue
Hi everybody! This week my inspiration is the “Cheers for Tiers Dress” from ModCloth. This dress is absolutely gorgeous! I knew that our 2 Tone Chiffons would look amazing made into this dress. Take a look & I think you’ll agree.
When I chose a pattern for this look, I looked for layered skirts, because I figured that would be the most difficult to recreate. I think the one I landed on is a good compromise. Its S6211 from the Read More...
Create This Look – Navy Cotton Tweed
Hey everyone! I hope last week was awesome & you have been able to enjoy some awesome fall weather! This week I was inspired by the “Once Upon A Thyme Coat In Midnight” from ModCloth. I figured since coat season is approaching or upon us, you should have something to add to your looks instead of just covering them up.
The pattern I chose for this look is M7058 by Mccalls. I recommend using View E. This View includes a Read More...
Create This Look – Scalloped Lace – Royal
Good Morning! This week I was inspired by the “Bedecked In Deco Top” from ModCloth. I am excited to show you how to combine both our scalloped lace and our new-ish 2 Tone Chiffons. Unfortunately ModCloth is again sold out of this particular top. I apologize, this seems to be happening a lot lately. Most of the time I pull the pictures in advance, & they end up selling out before I have a chance write up the post. 🙁

Create This Look – Aqua & Coral Southwestern Stripe Chiffon
This weeks Create This Look was inspired by the “Limelight As A Feather Dress” from ModCloth. I am sad to report that ModCloth no longer carries this dress… so you’ll just have to make it. ;D
I chose three different fabrics to create this adorable dress. The first fabric, for the bodice, is an awesome southwestern stripe chiffon. I really like the colors in this chiffon, they are so bright and fresh.
The second fabric I chose for this skirt, is Read More...

Good Morning everyone! This week I was inspired by the “Custard Stand In Awe Top In Black Floral” from ModCloth. Unfortunately they no longer carry this floral, but they do have the same top in a polkadot print.

Some of you might ask, how can this dress work for every season? Well… Read More...
Create This Look – Large White Floral Knit Polyester Lace
Welcome to this weeks edition of Create This Look. I was inspired by the “Lacy In Love Dress in Blush” by ModCloth, this week. They no longer carry the blush color, but they do still have the dress in mint. This blush color has been a really “Hot” color for the past couple of years. Especially for weddings. This would be a really fun dress for bridesmaids or even as a wedding guest.
I actually created this look with two totally different Read More...
