Danica is modeling the Rose Bouquet Pocket dress for my spring/summer collection. This dress has some of the prettiest colors of rose & sage and works so perfectly as a casual special occasion dress. I came up with this design when my daughter Lulu started asking if her dresses had pockets in them. Pockets became a big deal so this got me thinking about a style that has pockets as the main design element so it is both flattering and functional.  This dress is almost sold out but I have a couple new fabrics and prints coming soon in this...

Maria is modeling the Sugar and Spice dress in Grey Herringbone. I just love the way her mom styled it with the top knot and the super chic sunglasses and clutch.  So Audrey Hepburn classic. And the fabric is a light cotton herringbone weave and works  great for all seasons of the year. xoxo

New to my shop is the Paisley Rose Summer Print dress for toddler and girls. This is such a fun print and quite frankly has a lot going on (paisley, polka dots, floral) but it works because the colors are neutral and with just the pop of pink and blue scattered throughout. Also I love the border for the hem and of course I had to add the eyelet trim.  I don't usually do a lot of prints because I work on weddings so much and the demand is always for solid colors but I absolutely love shopping for fabric...

Last October I created a new children's wear collection to expand beyond flower girl dresses. I wanted to include other occasions as well including Holiday dresses, Birthday Party dress, 1st Communion, etc. I'm still primarily designing for weddings but it's nice to be able to expand a bit.  Here are some of my favorite dresses from the holiday season.
