Introducing Infant Sizing in Select Styles!

We're very excited to be introducing infant sizing in select styles with our current Fall/Holiday 2010 Collection. This is a preview of expanded infant sizing to be offered with our Spring/Summer 2011 Collection.

Our rose ballet dress (pictured here) as well as our legging and hip length swing t are now available for babies! Sizes run 6-12mos, 12-18mos and

18-24mos. Our bamboo knits are the softest and perfect for active babies - now they can dress to match older sis or even match mom since our rose ballet dress is available in mom's sizing. Perfect for a holiday family event. (Keep baby warm by layering dress over our swing t and legging or a t and legging of your own.)

Spring / Summer 2011 Color Palette

It's a beautiful spring day in the mountains! The snow is melting quickly (though I hear we're supposed to get another round later this week).

A trip to town yesterday brought a bloom of the most beautiful green lawns and and a profusion of colorful pink and yellow tulips! Even though it's spring 2010, we're working on spring 2011 in the studio and we wanted to share our color palette for the season. We're inspired by the beauty of flowers, both their colors and architectural shapes, and how better to celebrate spring than with flowers!

It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas....even though it's almost May.....

No - this picture is not from the past winter months - it was taken this morning! At any rate - the spring snow has us in the holiday mood, and we're thinking about the Holiday 2010 Season. We've decided to add a couple of new colors to our knit collection for Holiday: Black and Royal Purple.

Our bamboo knits are perfect for holiday, buttery soft and warm with ruffles and fabric roses. We even did a mother/daughter look for a special occasion dress. It's great in matching or coordinating colors and topped with our bustle jacket or fabulous faux fur cape (we even have a matching faux fur purse to carry her - or your - treasures). For added warmth on a cold day or night, add matching leggings and a long sleeve top with a ruffle cuff under the dress......which also make it a perfect school or church outfit!
