Happy Monday! Can you believe its already February?! The “Charmer In Charge Top” from ModCloth was my inspiration this week. This is a pretty basic top, but we have a very similar print so I decided to share it with you. I am pretty sure this is the exact same fabric. It is a lightweight 100% polyester fabric that has a really nice weight. Not only is this fabric great for this particular type of garment, you can also use it Read More...

Create This Look – Floral Eyelet – Ecru

Good Morning! This week I was inspired to share the “On Your Roam Time Tunic In Aviary” from ModCloth. The fabric I chose for this look is a beautiful printed eyelet I ran across quite a while ago. I loved this fabric from the moment I saw it. It comes in two slightly different shades. One is printed on an Ecru background, the other is pure white. Both of them are so soft & feminine & perfect for this tunic. This is the Read More...

Happy Monday Everyone! I just finished updating our crepe gauze inventory & eventhough its still pretty cold I felt inspired to share this dress with you. This weeks inspiration dress is called “Window Shopping Chic Dress” from ModCloth. Unfortunately ModCloth no longer has this dress. I guess it was popular.

Create This Look – Bridal Satin – Seafoam

Good Morning! I was inspired by the “Pine All Mine Dress In Dusty Blue” by ModCloth. When I went to check the link for this dress I was disappointed to discover that they are out of this particular color. They do still have several colors & prints in stock just not this dusty blue. I chose one of our beautiful Bridal Satins in what I call “Seafoam.” Our Bridal Satins are made of a thicker polyester & have a nice Read More...

Create This Look – Cardinal Poly/Wool Plaid

Merry belated Christmas!!! I hope everyone had an amazing Christmas this year. Only a few more days left of 2015! Can you believe it?! Well this week I was inspired by the cold… & the “You Don’t Know Jackson Coat In Plaid” from ModCloth. The fabric I chose is our Cardinal Poly/Wool Plaid. It is a lighter weight poly/wool, so if you live in a colder climate then I would recommend lining it. Fleece or even Minky would make a very Read More...
