Sunshine & Seabreeze

Where the ocean meets the sky..

Yesterday I took a trip to a gorgeous and secluded Chapel and public garden to take photos for my Etsy site. I was hoping to get some better shots of these printed American Apparel tunic dresses, and the overcast, misty weather seemed perfect.. I'm so ghoulisly flawlessly pale that full sunlight makes me look radioactive.. Of course, as soon as I got in the car, the fog started to clear, and the sun came out!

Giveaway! Printed American Apparel Tank

Follow my blog with Bloglovin

I'm happy to announce my very first giveaway.. One of many, let's hope!

I hand print these American Apparel tri-blend tanks with my cow skull graphic in silver ink. This is my own unique design, and each shirt is printed individually at my home studio. 

The shirts are sweat-shop free, and made in the USA. I use environmentally-friendly, water-based ink.

This racerback tank is lightweight, with merrow stitching along the edges. Available in my Etsy store here. 

 

Best of Etsy- The Secret Pal and Tala Stone

 

The Secret Pal 

Sheer silk blouse, handmade in Germany by The Secret Pal. Here on Etsy.

I saw this on the Etsy homepage last night, and I knew I had to feature it somehow.. These neutral earthtones look great on blondes. And are definitely underrepresented in my wardrobe. 

Something will have to be done about that! ;)

I love the oversized pockets, the sheer silk, and the contrast sleeves. This may be my perfect shirt..

Black, White & Tan

I've been dreaming up small cross-body bags for the longest time. After a few epic failures (lumpy seams, wrinkly flaps, etc.) I finally succeeded in making a prototype. This is the first finished bag I made using this pattern. By placing most of the seams on the outside edge, I was able to create a lovely, rounded shape, without the lumpiness of an interior seam.
 I've had a fixation with small bags lately- the type of accessory you add to complement your outfit, and carry just your essentials. I always seem to fill a bag completely- be it a tiny clutch, or a massive shoulder-bag. There are always a million bizarre things in there, with no rhyme or reason.
With this in mind, I knew I wanted to start using smaller bags. As long as it can fit your wallet or cards, a phone, and keys; what else is really needed?

Black, tan and white colorblocking in full-grain leather. One of my favorite combinations for bags and shoes. I especially love the contrasting textures of the leather- the black is heavily pebbled, the white lightly grained and matte, and the tan has an almost unfinished feel.
More coming soon! :)
