Hey y'all! I know that this post is a long time coming - but here it is! How to sew with velvet. Velvet, kind of like any other fabric can have a stretch or a non-stretch property. I've sewn with both and I honestly believe non-stretch velvet is more difficult to sew with, but we're…
Happy New Year! It might be a new year, but guess what I'm still hanging out inside for the most part. So for that, I'm still going to be making all the cozy stuff. My new Cocoon sweater is a Mimi G tutorial that I picked up ages ago for $3. It's a shame that…

It's stripes!!! We ate dinner at August's that night so I only wore this outfit for a few hours. But I felt like…
Brunch, anyone? I feel like that's an important part of any vacation, especially in a place where most activities involve trying new or interesting cuisine. For the day, I wore my favorite Summer pattern, an ogden cami hack. Once again, I extended the bodice, but this time to the floor to make a maxi dress.…
Helleaux! I recently went on a trip to New Orleans (one of my favorite cities) and of course I made my wardrobe. Well, 90% of my clothes. More on that later. I turned 30 and I wanted nothing more than to celebrate in New Orleans with my loved ones, so that includes my parents and…
I have never met a jumpsuit I didn't love and Zadie by Paper Theory is no different! It burst onto Instagram with a quickness and for once in my existence I was not late to the party. Zadie is definitely everything and more! It's flattering, forgiving and the design and wear ease are perfect! But…
