DIY | Sleeveless Summer Top

As promised, Karyn and I are back with a simple fashion DIY for summer. I am sure you have some old button up tops hanging in your closet that never got wears last winter… well here’s your opportunity to give those garments a little facelift, and  repurpose current clothes for a new season.

DIY | Sleeveless Summer Top

DIY | Sleeveless Summer Top

We found an old, thrifted top made of a lovely plaid fabric and cute collar details. The sleeves were a bit too big, so snip, snip, snip. We cut along the seam (on the sleeve-side), leaving the edge raw. As you may know, scissors are my best friend and make for a quick (and sew-free) fashion alteration.

DIY | Sleeveless Summer Top

The button up is perfect for layering and can be worn buttoned or unbuttoned, with a dress or skirt or with denim shorts. The 1970′s top now has a classy 1950′s look. Have fun creating a new wardrobe out of what your already have!

Have a great weekend!

Quinoa Taboule Recipe

Quinoa Taboule

I am a big fan of quinoa… you can prepare it so many ways. I can easily  have it for breakfast, lunch or dinner! I have wanted to try this recipe for Quinoa Taboule and I finally made it last weekend. I didn’t have all the correct ingredients on hand, so I did a bit of substituting. It turned out quite delicious. It’s so fresh! Taboule is also a versatile dish. It’s great alone as a side-salad, with pita bread or chips, on a sandwich….the possibilities are endless.

Quinoa Taboule

INGREDIENTS

  • 2 Cups cooked and cooled Quinoa
  • 1 Cup chopped Parsley
  • 1/2 Cup chopped Scallions
  • 2 Tbsp. chopped fresh Mint
  • 1 Tbsp minced fresh Basil
  • 1 Garlic Clove, minced or pressed
  • 1/2 Cup fresh Lemon Juice
  • 1/4 Cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 1/4 tsp. Salt
  • 1/8 tsp. freshly ground White Pepper

Toss together all ingredients. Chill for 1 hour or more to allow the flavors to blend. Makes 6 servings.

Wardrobe Wednesday | Jamie Wyckoff

Warm nights and cool breezes…I am enjoying all that comes with this season…the freedom to dress up or down or somewhere in-between. I always have fun trying to wear old pieces in new ways. In fact, Karyn and I will be sharing a little fashion DIY later this week, so be sure to check back. Happy Wardrobe Wednesday!

Meet Karyn // Summer Intern

Karyn + Noah

I want to take a moment to formally introduce our current intern, Karyn. She’s a senior at Georgia Gwinnett College, and she’s as sweet as she is cute. Don’t you love her dress?!? Karyn has been a big help over the past month and her efficiency continues to wow me. Just for fun, I asked her a couple questions to help you get to know her.

Major: Marketing– I was inspired by my mom.

Favorite Color: Green–which probably explains why I enjoy nature so much.

Favorite Place: The beach. Any beach. There’s just something about the ocean….

Just Because: I always wished I could fly. Not only would it make my life ten times easier, but it would be so freeing to fly among the trees and take in all of nature’s beauty.

The best thing about paper is… the smile it brings to faces when a letter or card is sent snail-mail and waiting in your mailbox.

I have said it once and I will say it again… collaborating with others is such a neat process in design. It helps when those you are working with are urber talented and think outside the box. A couple of months ago I got the privilege of contributing stationery and paper goods, along with my awkward-modeling abilities. [...]

I was rummaging through my sister’s closet the other day and found a new dress… though she graciously informed me she bought it as a maternity shirt. Oops. I was drawn to the lace and different fabric patterns. Maybe I should take pics of Justina in it with her super-cute baby bump?!? Ya know, a [...]

When I was on vacation I found these cotton shorts on clearance at the J Crew Outlet Store… The soft material and stripes drew me in.
