I haven't been myself lately, mornings are usually the worst. I try to take my mind off of things by sewing, sewing, sewing...but sometimes even making something pretty doesn't help. So we take walks (lots of walks) and look for beautiful flowers and butterflies (and sometimes snails) Watching her discover new things always makes me smile.
When we get to the big field by our house, Devon always spreads out her arms and screams "FLY!" then takes off running. She'll want me to "fly" with her, and I go through the motions...it's truly amazing to see her so happy and so free. More than anything, I'd love to really be able to share that moment with her...to spread my wings and fly.
...to outdo this kids outfit!
Here's a custom little cardigan I just made (for a favorite customer of mine) using re-purposed cashmere. I do have enough cashmere to make one more for the shop. It'll be a different (darker) shade of grey and I'll have to change up the silhouette as well. I don't have enough to make the adorable hood, but I promise it'll be super sweet too!
Even though our shop is focused on baby/toddler girls, we are open to custom orders for the "little man" in your life as well. Here's a three piece (french terry/thermal) set I just shipped off to the friend of an old friend:)
It seems weird to be thinking about Fall (when it just finally feels like Summer here in Southern California) but it's getting to be that time, so I'm switching our shop slowly into it's Fall styles. Here's a sneak peek of our new Fall Pallet (I'm also doing deep reds, dusty/dark blues, and camel colors)
I've been a fan of Sweet Bestiary's gorgeous finger puppets for sometime (how could you not fall in love with these adorable faces) but what really gets me going is how every single little beasty is adorned in the most perfect teeny outfit! If I could be assured that Devon would not be tempted to play with it, I would get one in a heartbeat, but I also would hate to deny her the chance so I dare not...
These little brooches might be a better alternative for her (and a perfect accessory for our photo shoots) As I'm starting to piece together our Fall line I can't stop thinking of how Devon would make one sweet beast:)
I love it when she works the scenery!
Wear our new Ruffled Waistcoat over any simple top or dress for an instant update with a pretty edge:)
Sorry to disappear, but lately I feel like it's just been sew, sew, sew (not very interesting for poor Devon) So Isaac and I have been trying to figure out some fun things to do in our new city. My friend Heather (who I'm convinced knows where everything is for every city in Orange Co) clued me into all the great thrifting in the area and to the fact that we're right around the block from Downtown Disney.
I mean, I knew we were right next door to Disneyland (how could you not) but I didn't realise that you didn't have to actually enter the park to have access to all these great shops that are total eye candy for Devon (like Legoland and Build-a-Bear) She flipped out when she saw this Lego Woody (she's made me watch Toystory and Toystory 2 like a gazillion times) She still hasn't seen the newest yet, but everyone keeps telling me that it made them totally bawl, so gotta be prepared...
...to Devon, everything that's on the larger side is a "Momma" if it's smaller then it's an "Awwwww, Baby!" When she saw this guy it was like "WOOOOW, MOMMAAAA!" It's kinda hard to tell the massiveness of this giraffe by my shot. You can really see it in this pic of his brother from Berlin.
It's also a great place to shoot new items, since all the activity really brought her mood up. Here she's modeling our updated cardi and newest little top. I've also just started to work on a fanpage for DevonRose, so please drop by and support...keep Devon smiling:)
I was very bummed to find out that one of my favorite designers, Luella had ceased trading last November. This due to a loss of the brands global licensee as well as, the unexpected closure of the label’s major Italian manufacturer. Scary that this should happen to a designer that only last year had won the ‘Designer of the Year’ Oscar at the British Fashion Council’s annual awards gala. Her last collection (being Spring 2010) was my all time favorite and sadly was never produced. I had been wanting to do a memorial posting for her and for some reason kept putting it off...she's been on my mind lately, so I figured better late than never:) Here's hoping she returns with more beautiful offerings for her "girl" whom she describes as (and I LOVE it) "cute but always a little sick"
