 Summer officially arrived on June 20th and we're gearing up for summer vacation projects. Stay tuned to join in on the fun and share some of your summer projects with us.
 Flowers provide beauty and scent to our world. Especially during the warm summer months. Peonies, Tulips, roses, etc. grace the landscapes from May to September. That's why we propose that you incorporate them into your summer wardrobe. In 2013, floral prints were part of summer trends. For 2016 summer fashion, tropical prints rather than floral have taken their place. We helped you start your 2016 Summer dress collection, now we're back with a curated list of a couple items to include in your summer fashion.
Summer is here and we recently gave you a head start on your summer dress collection. Now we're back to help you finish your collection by taking a look at some of the 2016 summer dress trends.

Hearing of Heavyweight Champion Muhammad Ali's passing, we'd like to take this time to send our thoughts and prayers to his family and friends. "The Lord is my strength and my song, and he has become my salvation; " (Exodus 15:2)

He was not only strong physically, but mentally as well, standing up for his values and what he believed in. This being evident in hisrefusal to serve in the Vietnam War. Today we pay tribute to Muhammad Ali by challenging you to create his famous boxing robe. We'll give you a hint...start by considering purchasing this Simplicity pattern. Ok, so we got you started, now let us know how it turns out! Share with your friends and challenge them too!
