Hi beauties! It’s been a few weeks since Caroline-made, pretty accessories for the modern, sophisticated gal, launched and it’s been so fun seeing the orders come in, refill our fabric stash, and of course get each item sewn and ready to ship. To celebrate my newest handmade shop let’s have a flash sale! Today only… [Read More]
Yesterday was one of those days where I had hardly finished breakfast yet I knew it was going to be one I’d remember for a long, long time. We’ve had some gorgeous weather lately here in Los Angeles, the kind that makes you forget how expensive rent is or how small your apartment is or… [Read More]
Where has this month gone? I am just realizing today that it’s March 14th. This really has been such a busy year so far for our family with lots of work commitments (both Zack and I) and social activities with our friends. Last month Caroline-made launched and then just recently I opened the Gussy shop back… [Read More]
Zack’s brought some really amazing traditions to our family, but one of my favorites is how he prefers to celebrate a birthday for the entire week (or month, ahem). And really, why not? :) Having a baby is no easy task, so I’m totally on board for the extended celebrations. Besides, multiple opportunities to eat… [Read More]
It took me two years to make this shop happen. Does that sound a little bit crazy to you? I’ll be honest: it sounds a big bit crazy to me. Part of me thinks that two years is way too long, what was I possibly doing all this time while waiting to launch Caroline-made? Well… [Read More]
I’m beginning to prepare my heart for a big upcoming trip to Dallas later this month. It’s been a while (18 months?) since I last traveled to a blog conference, and even though it’s a little scary for me to think about leaving my little boy at home for the weekend, I’m also really looking… [Read More]
Are you ready for Spring? I know so many of you have snow piled up at your home taller than your mailboxes. My parents said the snow behind their garage will probably be there until June ;) So, let’s bring a little bit of that fresh, blooming Spring season into our homes with the help… [Read More]
We had such a lovely weekend fully of relaxing and relaxing and naps and relaxing. It was glorious, and just what I needed after a crazy couple of weeks preparing for Caroline-made to launch. We went on at least two walks both days! The weather was gorgeous, even at 7:30am when we went on our… [Read More]
Remember when I said 2014 was my year to be brave? I’ve been stretching myself in crazy huge ways and just yesterday I launched my second handmade shop, Caroline-made. I kinda feel like I just had a baby, it was so much work (months and months of preparation and late nights) but this launch has… [Read More]
eeeekkkk! It’s finally here — today is the big reveal of Caroline-made! I’ve been working on this for months, planning, designing and sewing. Caroline is my middle name, and I’m big time loving being stretched creatively in this new way. We have a gorgeous collection of 16 items to launch our Spring 2014 lookbook…. [Read More]
