im sorry i have been such a horrible blogger this past week. im in the process of redecorating my loft and ive also been sewing non stop the last few days. im wearing a new top that roxie and i designed and sewed. its a floral crop top with fringe around the collar. we only have a few made for sale because the floral is a vintage fabric we found at a thrift store and there was only about 4 yards of it. i think the print is quite charming and the fringe gives it an extra pop. we also made it with white fringe too. ill keep you posted once we get some kind of online store up. as for now, im just sharing and documenting our creative process. thanks for all your positive feedback. we really appreciate it!

    That floral print is spot-on, and I love the addition of the fringe to toughen it up a little bit :)

    I patiently await the day your store opens. I will RUN(in the internet sense, whatever that means) to your store and browse through excitedly knowing that if you put anything that reflects your style, then I surely will want to buy. I hope it's not too expensive though because I am cheap, and broke... I'm sure it will be fab though, and I am SO excited. BEst of luck getting everything set up

    that floral top is making me drool right now, just thought i'd let you know

    p.s
    are you always insanely pretty? or is it just my eyes? XOXO
