Can you believe Christmas is only one week away? Time really does fly!  It seems like only yesterday that I was putting this blog together with all of my creations and inspirations, but it's actually been six whole months already!

If you follow me on instagram, you will recognize my new panther brooch!

Today was so windy!

I designed the Holly Pillbox hat with the holidays in mind.  This hat is made of the softest silk yarn you will ever touch.  Additionally, because it is silk, it has a very beautiful subtle sheen... Just the right amount of sparkle to sit atop your head like a Christmas angel's halo.  Bobbles and branches stitches adorn the hat to represent Winter's holiday gift: Holly.

A Holly Wreath Pillbox Hat to sit on your head as a crown.  Be merry and keep the holiday cheer!

Another example is this stunning skirt which amazingly works wonders on your bottom end!  The center design is linear with triangular shapes that leads the eye up and down to the various points of interest (the Darla Pillbox Hat, Waist, and shoes).  Additionally, the outer curved designs glorifies the feminine silhouette superbly!

The Darla Pillbox Hat pairs perfectly with geometric shapes.  It has the right amount of design to enhance your outfit, not Over-Kill!

Geometric designs are trending, adapt to any silhouette and will work wonders for you! Add some visual interest to your outfit with bold lines and shapes!

Simply:

Despite many of you now enveloped in tight knit sweaters, here in California we are still enjoying very hot days by the swimming pool.  What better way to spend these last few Summer moments, than by sipping refreshing strawberry cocktails while relaxing on lounge chairs?!

The Lorena Pillbox Hat is the perfect Pool Party accent!

The Lorena Pillbox Hat is knitted using pillowy soft 100% Silk yarn in Silver Heather Grey with alternating Rib Stitch and iridescent bead scallops.
