I’m headed off for the weekend but couldn’t leave without sharing these images from Red Heather.

Alia unveiled her brand new collection, [wanda]•ful from aliamichèle, and can I just say that it is every bit won-der-ful.

I think it might be time for me to learn how to sew. I keep seeing all of these great DIY projects that often involve whipping out the sewing machine. Since I enjoy working with my hands, I couldn’t be too terrible at sewing, right? And to my surprise, the lovely Nan from Amy Butler’s […]
