Summer Headband Style with our Banana Leaf Print

June 30, 2017March 2, 2018fashionLeave a Comment

We’ve been in love with turbans since we started making them about 3 years ago. We love how they have a vintage style look to them, but the world is open to us when it comes to choosing fabrics. When we find the perfect print, we get super excited. This banana leaf print is our current favorite.

Sometimes, all the different choices when it comes to style can be so intimidating. It feels easier to just do the go-to outfits we have always worn. That’s another reason we love these turbans. You can wear your favorite pair of jeans, white tee, and this turban and your outfit is immediately updated.

This turban is the perfect accessory for the beach, drinks with girls, or running errands. It even comes with a matching one for your little!

Gold Hoops Style

June 28, 2017March 2, 2018fashionLeave a Comment

Statement earrings are back, and BIG! I mean gold hoops have always had a special place on my favorites list, but right now the style seems to be the bigger the better!

Being a “jewelry artisan” I love being able to take a style or certain fashion trend (ie: chokers) and making it work to how a person like myself would wear it. Let’s be honest, I am a suburban mom, with kids to chase and errands to do (and little grabby hands) so I wanted something that would somewhat fit my busy lifestyle, while still participating in the make-a-statement look.

Here is what we came up with. These are light weight hoops. Not so big they are touching my shoulders (which I need to save for diaper bag placement, and not so small that they don’e say something. They have the perfect amount of “diva” to them. These hoops are gold plated, so nice and shiny and for a little extra touch, they have slight horizontal etched pattern all around the outside.

I’ve officially been wearing the for about a week straight and I LOVE them. They are t-shirt worthy, work-ready or even cute with a bathing suit & turban. They are my new everyday favorite grab. Easy style upgrade and perfect for this mama.

Summer Style with a 14 Karat Gold Jade Stone Necklace

June 14, 2017March 2, 2018fashionLeave a Comment

Summer comes with a variety of styles. Somedays it’s shorts and a t-shirt as you race off to dentist appointments or checking off the to-do’s. Somedays it’s a little nicer as you head to the office or business lunch. Somedays it’s a trip to somewhere new. Somedays a dressy date night. Whatever your summer brings, we are sure that the new summer line of 14 karat gold necklaces has something to fit your style. This jade drop pendant is a classic example of a versatile piece that will wear well with all of the you’s.

It has a gorgeous deep green faceted quartz stone in a 14 karat gold plated pendant. Our favorite feature on this necklace might be its extension ring. It can be worn at 16″ or 18″, fitting the right neckline of the top you’re wearing. The bright color adds an eye catching quality! We really love it paired with the simple minimalist 14 karat chain (shown above at 16″.) .

Snag your favorite hat, sunnies and jade stone necklace and get your summer on!

Styling a Turban Headband

June 8, 2017March 2, 2018fashionLeave a Comment

we realize this accessory can be intimidating at first. but once you master how you wear it, we know it will be a go-to piece. i mean, you could possible add an extra day of not washing your hair. because you’re busy.

i have two go to looks for the twist turban. my first look is with my hair down, and the turban sort of half under, half over my hair. i start by putting the turban on, with the back of it under my hair completely. then i style it by pulling it some pieces in the back and in the front, to give it that “thrown on look” the whole process takes less than two minutes.

my second look is with my hair up. i have shorter hair, so i just do a messy ponytail. i put the turban on after doing the ponytail, then i pull out some hair here and there to finish it off.

summer is here, and i think these turbans give me the fun, boho look i want without much effort at all in these warmer, busier months.

Three Ways to Style A Jean Skirt

June 2, 2017March 2, 2018fashionLeave a Comment

I’ll be honest, I don’t have the world’s most diverse closet and a lot of times I am a t-shirt and jeans girl, but I have been trying to step out of my comfort zone in the fashion department and decided it was time to branch out a little. Summer is a great excuse to try something different (or so I keep telling myself. So I marched my way down to one of my current favorite stores: Madewell. They have the perfect “basic” pieces. I wanted to come home with one piece, because let’s be honest, I’m a youth pastor’s wife and can’t just buy it all (like I wanted to.) . With the help of Racheal (always take a friend) I decided on this zip jean skirt. Here is how I style it 3 different ways.

1. Mom-ing: I wasn’t kidding when I said I love t-shirts. I like to feel comfortable but not loungy. I chose a fitted gray crew neck tee (tucked in) with Birkenstock sandals and to class it up just slightly, I added one of our new dainty 14 karat gold chokers with a tiny gray stone pendant. Now I am all set to run to target, chase the kids and tackle the laundry!

2. Friend Hanging: Sometimes you just need some time with the girls: brunching, shopping or just coffee. I like the casual look of this stripped tee, also from Madewell, with the jean skirt. To add a little more to these basic pieces, I add a pop of color with some suede coral open-toed flats, a pop of color with my favorite turquoise beaded choker and of course the sunnies.

3. Date Night: With a tucked in bright floral print blouse (Old Navy) and some layered 14 karat gold necklaces, I am ready for a night with the hubs. I threw on some neutral toned wedges (TJ Maxx) and a bright lip color (Blue-Red Lipsense) to up the look. All ready for a summer night.

I love a piece that can be used versatilely. Jean skirt For The Win!

Our Favorite Summer Choker

May 30, 2017March 2, 2018fashionLeave a Comment

If you’re looking for a versatile but trendy piece for this summer, look no further. This turquoise beaded choker is such a fun piece to enhance your everyday look. We love the bright pop of color it adds. It’s the perfect combo of eye-catching and casual.

Made right here in our studio/storefront in Liberty (a suburb of Kansas City), we use tiny turquoise tinted faceted Czech glass beads and gold plated wire & chain.

The color contrast is just pretty. We love it with just about any color. Some of our favorites include: fuchsia, royal blue, black, white and a good dusty gray.

It is a fave, and if you see it you’ll know why. You just can’t go wrong with this go-to piece!

Summer Mom Style

May 26, 2017March 2, 2018fashionLeave a Comment

Memorial Day tends to be the kick off of summer in our book. We won’t lie, living here in the midwest and it’s overly temperamental weather, we wait all year for the sunshine and warmth that summer brings!

As moms of kids who are normally locked away in school the rest of the year, we pack tightly our summers with adventure & experiences. We love an easy throw on accessories to up our every day closet. Here are a few summer items on our “quick grab, outfit upgrade” list.

1. Sunnies : Sun gear is a staple in our house and sunglasses are at the top of the list for me. I like the circular frame on these Ray-Bans (a christmas gift from the hubby). I’m usually not one to spend much on sunglasses, since I tend to lose them, but these are one of my favorite accessories and I get lots of use out of them.

2. Bright Choker: Use the summer to try out your hand, err I mean neck, at this choker style. I like a pop of color with my very simplistic closet. This wild juniper beaded choker has the fun faceted Czech glass beads and feels more fun than a simple black choker. Who doesn’t love this turquoise color either?

3. Summery Clutch: Every mom needs a quick & easy escape-out-the-door piece. This summery tribal print clutch holds your essentials: keys, wallet, phone, lip gloss, sunnies and a ziplock of goldfish. We like the mustard pop against any solid colored summery top. You can snag this clutch now in our brick & mortar shop.

4. Wire Headband: This easy to wear headwrap has a wire inserted inside for a quick and simple styled look. You can wear it under your hair, over your side pony or braid and it can even wrap it around your bun. We have lots of summery prints listed and more on the way!

5. Toe Nail Polish: We plan to be barefoot as often as possible. Whether digging our feet into the sand at the beach, chasing our littles through the yard or relaxing with a little sangria on the back porch. I snagged this pretty magenta (big spender) Essie polish at Target. Pretty toes are the little things in life that can make the small moments enjoyable.

Bonus Accessory: I grabbed this fun little trip planner at Anthropologie last weekend and I can wait to pack up for our little camping trip this weekend.

New Style Headwrap

May 19, 2017March 2, 2018fashionLeave a Comment

We are in love with this new style headwrap. It is so chic, summery, and a little bit throwback. The black and white stripes are so classy and perfectly neutral.

This headwrap just screams summer. We have several fun prints & colors and it fits all ages, and is super soft and comfortable.

Perfect for your favorite sunnies or wearing while sipping your favorite beverage at the pool! The best thing about it is the wire inserted in the middle. It allows this to be worn in so many different ways. This headband is made out of a soft, silky chiffon fabric and the best part is there is a wire inside of the headband. This allows the headband to be worn so many ways:
with a bow on top of your head… of to the side a little
with your hair in a bun and and the headband wrapped around the bun
braided through a braid or tied under your hair like I’m wearing here.

Classic Baby Bow Headband

May 9, 2017March 2, 2018fashionLeave a Comment

We love an accessory that goes well with anything. This baby bow headband has been at the top of our favorites list since we first started making them!

This particular bow is a neutral cream-meets-ivory color. Its soft jersey knit bow is the perfect size, making it sweet & classy.

The best part: it is made with a nylon stretch band. What does this mean? It means it it fits ages 0 to Adult. We love that this stretchy material leaves NO MARKS on your little one’s forehead. Making it a quick “set it & forget it” piece for all the little girls out there busy conquering the world!
