Happy Monday! Okay so I've dodged and avoided sewing fur for the longest. There was something always a little taboo about it for me. I was intimidated by the "pile" (more on that later). And the cutting process...oh, and I was convinced that there was absolutely no way that I could mush all of that…

Christmas is almost here! Can you believe how quickly this year has gone by? Every year I promise myself a pair of matching PJs and this year, I finally did it. I used Simplicity pattern 8803 and made a nice matching set. I used size M for the pants and size S for my top.…
I know it's been forever since I've blogged and probably longer since I've made and worn something leopard, but when life happens... you have to move! LOL. I'm keeping it short and sweet this week. I made a quick Lou box top by Sew DIY (anyone surprised?) and layered it with my thrifted blazer. My…

Happy Wednesday everyone! I know I haven't been on my blog in a long time --just a few weeks, but it feels like forever! But I'm back! I just had to push out a few projects and get caught up with work and life. Ha! Don't we all? Today I'm teaming up with my IG…
It's the last one...for now. And I plan on keeping this one short and sweet since I talked everyone's ear off in the last 3 posts! The pattern I used for the coordinates is McCall 7757 and my fabric is from Minerva. I made shorts instead of pants. I won't delve too much into my…
We're almost finished with this series mon petit! And today I'll be sharing quite possibly my favorite one out of all of them! My birthday suit...well, coordinates. LOL. And is anyone surprised? 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…
