My growing love of fashion. look out, hubster!

Everyone who knows me well will know that I have this "thing" for purses. I don't think I will ever tire of finding new designs and shapes and sizes and colours that I love. And Jeff, bless his dear heart, he is trying to hold me back. But I'm wilier than he is. lol

But now, I have started gaining a larger appreciation for shoes and how they can complement or complete an outfit. Now, I'm really not that adventurous of a dresser (example: right now, I'm wearing black dress pants, black socks, black shoes and a fuschia top). See? Sort of boring. And the rest of my clothes aren't much different.

But with reading all these fashion blogs, and sewing blogs, I'm gaining some interest in fashion, and more specifically, in refashioning clothes. My new favourite blog is cotton&curls. Lizzie's style is so awesome, and she's got SUCH awesome hair! The tutorials she writes up are really pretty easy-looking too! I just have to find the time to learn how to sew on my gramma's old sewing machine...

Anyways, here are a few of my favourites - ones that I would like to try - from cotton&curls.

And tell me you're not inspired!

This past week, I have been increasing my inventory of my new product lines before I launch them onto the world. I think they are super cool. I can't wait to show them off to you! It seems like it has been forever since I had started production on them, so it will be nice when there are lots of new listings of these new product lines.

In the meantime, I have also been trying to keep listings up in my shop. A while ago, I had hit 100 listings, and that was awesome! But I have been steadily going back down again, so I have been scampering to raise that number back up. Here are a couple of journals I recently made:

Last week's most viewed link was this lovely striped scarf from Sew Ecological:

This has got to be one of my favourite shops on Etsy. I have purchased quite a few items from Rose's shop.

I just LOVE her fingerless gloves!

And this skirpron is so cute! Rose turned spring skirts that don't fit quite right into aprons, hence the name, skirpron! And I just love this orange cowl! The doilies on the bright orange is awesome!
