Pre-Spring Outfits and Projects



As we wait for the dawn of spring and prepare for the year ahead, our thoughts turn to inspiring fashion and weekend projects.  Remember all those New Year's Resolutions? Time to get things into action! Take up a new hobby.  We have rediscovered quilting and knitting.  One fabric designer we adore is UK-based Kaffe Fassett http://www.kaffefassett.com/Home.html.  His fabrics and patterns transform quilting.  With a stunning palette and contemporary aesthetic, Kaffe is a superstar in the quilting world.  He has written multiple books and teaches quilting classes worldwide.  Pictured below is a quilt we made from his book, "Caravan Quilts".

Another great way to channel your crafty side is to knit! Debbie Bliss has great how-to books.

Crafting can also help you gain a new perspective on your wardrobe.  Examine the beautiful combinations in your quilting fabric.  Sometimes if you look closely you can discover color combinations that before seemed impossible! Mix up your clothes, play with color and form.  All is new this year.  Remember, there are no rules in fashion and when it's right, it's right! Just have fun! One designer that embraces mixing and matching is Elle Magazine Fashion Editor, Lori Goldstein. See our other posts on LORI:

Update your pre-Spring wardrobe with soft, flowing pieces that can transition all the way into fall.
We love the gorgeous colors and sophisticated silhouettes from LOGO by Lori Goldstein, available on QVC.com.  Embrace the new and unique.  Dye your hair, try a new hobby, watch the sunset! Get out of the Winter dull-drums and see Spring around the corner :)
