monday updates and a winner!

February 13, 2012

hi there! how are you on this fiiiine monday morning?

me? running a little late! but better late than never.

just a few updates for you. i realize it is a little inconvenient that the shop is not always fully stocked, and i so appreciate your patience with me on that. i know i am missing out on some sales because of my decision to do ready to ship, but the peace of mind that has come from not having orders 3 weeks out has been amazing. so, if you will hang with me, be quick on the draw on monday mornings to find the item you’ve been waiting for, i will love you forever and we’ll all be happy. maybe even sing a verse or two of kumbaya.

i wish i had more updates for you, but i am frantically trying to prepare for blissdom!! not only for the trip, but also to sell at their first ever handmade marketplace. see?

however, i have listed a handful of necklaces both in mini and original.

some of you have asked about the size difference, so here are a couple of pictures to help:

hope that helps!

(could also be called “jess’s hair and all of it’s variety”)

i have also listed several three musketeers headbands!

with blissdom coming up, i unfortunately won’t be able to relist next monday, so be sure to snag what you can now!

 

also, don’t think i forget about the DownEast Basics giveaway! friday got a little nuts and i never ending up posting a winner, so drumrollllll pleaseeeee……..

according to random.org, the winner is comment #37…

CHELSEA!!!

 

congrats chelsea! i will be contacting you soon to get you your prizes!!

 

happy monday, and… ready, set, SHOP!!

what i wore wednesday! and a giveaway!

February 7, 2012

so excited to share what i wore this week – even if it is just one outfit. the reason? it’s a giveaway!!

you may have noticed that DownEast Basics is one of my favorite go-tos. i wear their signature wonder tees almost on a daily basis and love their options for modest but super cute skirts and dresses as well.

here is the latest dress i got to add to my collection:

i love that this dress is a print and a neutral at the same time. that means i can use it as a blank canvas and add pops of color or keep it neutral by adding black or cream accents (but we all no i can not resist color…) and the cool print makes it unique and a lot more interesting than just a solid dress. wouldn’t it be cute with a denim jacket? (too bad i don’t have one… might have to remedy that one QUICK.)

(you guys, it is freaking HARD to take pictures on a timer. need. remote. ASAP.)

dress: spring retreat, DownEast Basics

hemp belt: ruche

blush cardigan: target

modern pearl necklace in pacific: allora handmade

pearls: random thrift stores

earrings: angel face designs

 

 

now, for the fun part! would you like to win any one item from DownEast Basics? of course you would!
