Show Me Your Mumu

I love Pinterest.... There are so many women out there sharing the same interests and it's so easy to get lost in! 
I just came across a girl's pin from a website called Show Me Your Mumu. And I thought to myself "huh, what a funny name for a clothing line" But!-- Never be to quick to judge.... These two ladies have created a beautiful line of clothes from a whimsical fairytale about friendship and love. I absolutely love this!! It's so adorable, and perfect for summer, especially when we are talking about festival season! Shop their website here and find out what this fairytale is all about!

Vegas Baby

Summer is upon us and I am so stoked about everything happening!! My girlfriends and I are headed to Vegas in a few weeks to party with the best of them at the Electric Daisy Carnival and I could not be more excited! Number one because we are road tripping and I love summer road trips. Number two because it's Vegas and I had so much fun last year, I can't wait to make more memories this year with my favorite party girls. And number three, because I am hand making all our outfits again this year with some even cuter ideas!

I am working on sewing up some festi outfits for us and I wanted to share what I was making with all of you! And I wanted to share where some of my inspiration came from for my ideas.....

 I am using some old dresses from American Apparel and Forever21 to make some tops.

 I bought these fabrics off of Etsy from Mimis Fabric Shop


 I bought these zippers, lace and green chiffon leaves on Etsy from QFabrics Shop
 These feathers came from Zucker Feathers  
which I love because you can buy in bulk and there are so many options!!

Inspiration Nation

Just the word inspiration makes me feel all tingly inside. Inspiration has always been what has driven me to continue to pursue my dream of owning my own boutique/ salon. Although there are so many influences from people, companies, local designers, friends, family, cosmetologists, small business owners and the media, there is always one from those categories that, every once in a while continues to inspire my passion.
Jusssssssst sayin'.... Creare Designs is one of those. Local Colorado designer, model, go go dancer, and hair & makeup artist, Samantha Martucci. A few months ago, shortly after I fell in love with Etsy.com, I saw Sam was selling her pieces on the site, I had already loved this fur vest she had on in one of her modeling photos and what do you know... She was selling it! I bought it of course, I love it! I am even wearing it in one of my photos from my photo shoot with Andrea.
Anyways, let's get back to the inspiring part. I took a look at her Facebook page, she was doing so many cool things with her shop and clothing line I kinda thought to myself "this is the inspiration boost I need" because this was EXACTLY the excitement that I needed! She even won her first runway show prize in March and the final is coming up in May. So be sure to vote for her! And go to the show, which I believe is at Suite200 in downtown Denver.
Her designs are so well fabricated and thought out. I love the fact that she models her own pieces, she seems to have great connections with Denver photographers, and the way that she has been "advertising" her line is awesome, she has a lot of followers. From her passion, drive and motivation, to her outgoing personality and ability to network, I think this girl is going places. She has so many people who support her and love her line, including myself. Time to pull out the sewing machine....
