Triangles and Stripes.
I Love my stripes. I have never been very adventurous when it comes to style. I Love my basics. But, I always love seeing other people’s fun outfits and I think to myself “dang, I want to wear that” And I set out to get myself dolled up. I shop as if I wear complex outfits. I have a closet full of skirts, and dresses, and blazers, and blouses, and wedges, and heels. But, when I really get down to it, I usually end up in some pair of jeans ( I do LOVE my denim), a simple tshirt, and some flats. I think the craziest print I go with is stripes!!! Pretty sad, right. I Love fun prints. But, I just find that I default to the most basic of things for whatever reason.

Clutch: KRUST
I think my designs for the new bag line came from me trying to get some fun designs and prints into my boring outfits. They really spunk up a dull look. But, hopefully I can work them into some more complex looks. And the challenge begins…
Signs of Fall.
Fall is slowly arriving here. The Pumpkin Spice latte has been available at Starbucks for a few weeks, but I haven’t felt quite ready to order one yet. We barely had a Summer this yer and the few really nice days we did get came in August, and September has been full of warm weather too. This week, I feel like I just started to notice the signs of fall. Leaves on the ground, and a chill in the air, although the weather is still mostly great.
I always love the Summer to Fall transition. It’s my favorite. I Love a scarf over a tank top, and this is really the only time of year it works! So, I will be taking advantage.
This has been my go to bag all month. It goes with EVERYTHING. I am pretty stoked on it, but excited to break out the pink and tan pretty soon!!!
Tank: Sarah via Emily via Urban Outfitters 5 years ago.
Jeans: Nordstrom Rack
Flats: Some cheap shoe store at the Outlet mall…
Scarf: Forever 21
Purse: KRUST
Hope everyone is having fun breaking into their fall wardrobes! I sort of can’t wait to really dig into mine.
Fall 2011: Geometry.
I am so excited to share my new fall bags with you today!!! I went a different direction this time, and sort of kept with a theme. I am still using my core fabrics; the Tan, Grey and Black Duck canvas. It’s just a great sturdy fabric. And I LOVE the Tan color it comes in.
Check out the 10 new bags!!!
I knew I wanted to do a chevron stripe for the new fall line. And I had been wanting try to working in some neons and some variation of neons and neutrals together. This was as far as I went and I am so pleased with it. The Tan and pink is my absolute favorite bag. Although I do really love them all!
Get your Chevron cross body bag in the SHOP. Available in Tan/Pink, Grey/Green, or Black/White.
This is one design I came up with one day while doodling and sketching over the summer.
I came across this salmon linen before coming up with the design and when I was sketching, it felt like a no brainer to include it in this new line with the grey, tan and black. I LOVE this salmon color.
Get your Angled clutch in the SHOP. Available in Tan, Grey, Black, or Salmon.
I drew this one up one afternoon while babysitting this summer. I had discovered this teal denim a few months back and used to make a doily clutch with. I KNEW I wanted to use it again and somehow incorporate into the fall line I wanted to do. Once I finished the drawings, I was so excited to get to work on them. These were the first of the fall line that I had started and finished. Seeing them all done really motivated me to get the rest done. I LOVE how they came out.
Get your triangle clutch in the SHOP. Available in Teal, Black, or Tan.
Thanks for coming to check out the new bags! Let me know what you think.
I plan to continue to add to this line with other colors and designs throughout the Fall months. So, do stay tuned for more!
Sneak Preview.
One more quick peek before all the bags are listed tomorrow morning! I may get to excited and release full photos throughout today… we’ll see. But, for this morning, how’s this?
I Love new bags! Can’t wait to get them all up and see what you all think!
Thanks for waiting with me <3
Peek a boo.
I’m pretty wiped out tonight. So, I am only sharing one quick (revealing) photo of one the new bag designs! I finished these first, and LOVE the way they turned out. This pic was a couple weeks ago, while I started working on the line.
Are you at all intrigued? Check back tomorrow for another peek at bags from the new line. All new bags will be available on Thursday September 1st! I am so excited to take real pictures of them all together today. Weeeeeeeeeeeee!
Stripes and Hearts for Bridesmaids.
The devine, Miss (Soon to be Mrs!) Melissa over at Hi Baby contacted me a few weeks back about putting together some bags that she could gift to her Bridesmaids. I was, again, super excited to get to work on an order for Bridesmaids! She chose the Grey and White striped zipper clutches with pink lining, and pink heart zipper tags. It was so fun getting them all ready, and I Loved getting to see them all together and stacked up when they were finished. Bulk orders are the best!
Not ONLY am I sharing photos of the finished product, but I also want to let you all know that Melissa has put together some AMAZING Wedding week giveaways. Melissa is getting married this weekend and has set up 5 giveaways for each day leading up to her big day! And on day one she has offered up one of my bags!!! So head over and enter, and check out the other giveaways that are up already, and watch for the 2 to come tomorrow and Friday!
Congratulations Melissa! I cannot wait to see pictures of your special day <3
Mixed prints, and double stripes.
I’ve never been too great at the whole pattern mixing thing. But, it is totally one of my most favorite trends. So, I was excited to take this opportunity to challenge myself.
I didn’t get too crazy. I would have like to try a bit more. As it turns out, I just don’t have a lot of patterns in my closet! I never realized jut how plain I really am. Also, trying to put patterns and prints together is totally a complex puzzle. And I LOVE it. Anyhow, this is what I came up with. It’s not as mixxxy as it could be, but I reallllly love this outfit!
striped tee: H&M
sheer top: something from TJ maxx
scarf: Forever 21
skirt: Target
flats: Urban
clutch: Krust.
Can’t wait to check out everyone else’s posts. I Love EBEW.
My favorite shorts.
I Love these shorts. They are absolutely part of my everyday Summer uniform. I would LOVE them in black denim! I may have to work on DIY-ing myself a pair.
Starting a list of DIY short projects to tackle!
Scalloped shorts would be so sweet and girly. THIS tutorial is in my list of to do’s.
I just think THESE are plain amazing. And hope to bust out a pair asap.
And, I would LOVE a pair of floral print shorts. I gotta work on finding a good pattern to make a pair!
Denim on Denim.
Don’t you love cleaning out your closet and finding clothes buried in the back you forgot that even had? I do! I have been organizing and going through my closet this week. Getting back into deep dark corners. A couple nights ago I dug out this skirt. I bought it when I worked at Urban Oufitters. I used to have it both blue and black denim. My dumb butt got rid of the blue years ago. Thankfully, I kept this one. Because, I love it. I was surprised to find that it still fits (it does have a lot of stretch). It’s super comfy, and I’m stoked. Can’t wait to see what else I find! I am going through my extensive denim (lots of jeans!!!!) collection this weekend. And yes, I actually at one point literally, and physically “collected” jeans. I am not confident that I will be able to get rid of any. I Love my denim.
Striped tank: Forever 21
Denim Jacket: Gap
Pencil skirt: Lux via Urban Outfitters
Bag: Krust.
I wasn’t sure if my denim jacket was going to work with this black denim pencil skirt. But, once I had it on I really kind of dug it… I haven’t been brave enough to try the all blue denim on denim yet. But, I LOVE some looks I have seen. This might be more in my personal denim on denim comfort zone.
A Krust booth.
I have been meaning to share a few quick pictures of what my little booth looked like at the Car show I set up at earlier this month. I had a lot of fun sort of mapping the space out beforehand and even more fun once I got there and got to work. I can’t wait to do more events like this! I Love setting my bags up in fun shop able displays.
See all the bags shown here in detail with links to buy IN THIS POST.
