After two extensive Sundays of working on this dress. And then having it taken apart and sewn back together again…it is finally completed! To give you a back story, my good friend Brooke has recently launched her own line of patterns. The first pattern she designed was an adorable birthday dress for girls. But I … More Holy Moly Me oh My! Its the My Dress!
During a recent girls weekend, my friends and I went on a shopping spree to the outlet malls and I discovered the Banana Republic outlet. Sure it’s probably been there all along but I don’t think I ever would have gone into it had I been shopping alone. I assumed it was all khaki shorts and … More My Favorite Tee Shirt Dress
I am asked about once a week what new things have I sewed. And even more recently I was asked “do you not sew anymore?” And the truth is I am always sewing! Well… not exactly. I am always in my head sewing. Or at least creating ideas of things I want to sew, projects … More a baby blue party dress

I went to a wedding recently and all the girls my age were wearing maxi dresses. Seriously, every last one of them. Which is something I could definitely get on board with. I mean, think about it. You can still get all dressed up but don’t have to shave your legs. And then you are have all … More Buy or DIY: a polka dot maxi wrap dress
Every so often I see these gorgeous, flowy, maxi dresses online that make all my Hawaii beach dreams come true. And then I remember that I quit my job to be a stay at home mom and therefore these $200 designer maxi dresses will just have to live in my Pinterest boards forever. But luckily … More a DIY maxi dress + a introducing Highlands Wrap Dress
I can’t believe I am using the word “momiform” but it seemed like something a blogger would say so here you have it. This summer I have truly been rocking the same “uniform” every weekend. Because, you see, becoming a mom completely changes your wardrobe. And not in that I’ve-got-to-lose-those-last-five-pounds baby weight kind of way. But … More my summer mom-iform
