1. Go cahoots, to share equally; become partners. 

2. In cahoots: in partnership; in league.

 

I am so very excited to announce my new collaboration with my sister-in-love, Lindsey . Introducing Cahootsie Handmade. We will be working together selling fun & stylish pieces for your little babes! Our website, www.cahootsie.com will be launching very soon, and in the meantime we will have an “instashop” where you can buy & order items on our Instagram account. 

We both share a mutual love for sewing, crafting, and making things… and have always dreamt of starting our own little shop. We finally decided to stop just dreaming and start doing! So we put our minds together and came up with Cahootsie Handmade. The name is a fun way of symbolizing our partnership and representing our sisterhood.

We’re a bicoastal business for now. I’ll be making my items here on the West coast and she will be making them over on the East coast, in Florida. Items will be available for local pick up, or can be shipped anywhere in the US for a small shipping charge. 

We are so excited to finally announce the news and are kicking off our launch with a GIVEAWAY!!! Just head on over to our instagram account for details on how to enter! 

Blah blah blah

Last Friday I was battling a particularly strong case of blahness. I was in this rut where my mood was “blah.” My clothes felt “blah.” My hair felt “blah.” These are the moments that I am most susceptible to impulsiveness (fighting the urge to go buy new clothes and/or chop off my hair). So I decided to fight these feelings by mixing things up. I threw on my husband’s glasses (which I have now officially adopted to be own. Thanks hubs!), tossed my hair up into a messy topknot, and put on some bold lipstick. Sometimes it’s just necessary to have a little fun & play around! Later that night Ryan and I went out to dinner with friends & went to a comedy show fundraiser. Made for a fun Friday night out. Laughter is the best medicine. :)

Hope your Friday is wonderful. ♥

This video has been making its way around the blogosphere, and I, too, wanted to share. I love how it shows how fashion has evolved through the years, but it does it in such a fun and inspiring way. Very well done, folks. 

 Have a beautiful weekend! Xo

Lovely Looks

Here are some looks that I am currently loving. The wavy hair, neutral colors, layers, and long satchels. ♥

Irresistible.

Here are some pretty things that I would purchase if given the chance. (I have a thing for neutral tones… can you tell? ha.) I picked some fun pieces and some that would easily transition in the fall. Happy Shopping!
