i spy...

The lucy P dress on Stacie.. the talented gal behind Gingiber.. one of my favorite etsy shops! (I'm in love with all of her pillows and prints)

The lydia dress on miss amanda, photographer extraordinaire!

the rosemary blouse on chelsea from tea talk! Feel free to gush over her hair, i know i do.

the lucy p dress on miss rachel from smile and wave! she's a pretty big inspiration to me and it's an honor to see this on her. AND she told me she wore this dress to the shoot for Red velvet in southern living magazine that will be out in march... so that's pretty cool!

the lucy p dress on sarah from zephyr style. i know you can't see the top of it, but i adore her and her kitchen is pretty amazing right? (p.s. please blog more!)

the float away dress on julie from Jooleedoh.

the float away dress on katie from Skunkboy creatures! I admire so much about Katie, so it's also a huge honor to have her support and see her in this!

and last but not least, the lydia dress on Alexis. She emailed this picture to me and said she loved it so much she wore it in her engagement pictures...so awesome! Thanks, Alexis!

it's pretty surreal for me to scroll through this and see the things that once just filled the pages of my sketchbook ON real people all over the country (or world even!)..

i'm so thankful!

if you've purchased something from my shop, nothing would make me happier than to see it on you! you can send a picture to vanillaandlace@gmail.com

new items in the shop!

I've been working on these new designs for the past couple months and I'm so excited to finally release them! My little store is finally filling up!

Here are some peeks at the new stuff. Head on over to the store for more info and what not..

Ella skirt

in geometric print

The lullaby dress

The silhouette dress

Wanderlust cape

(you see the hem.. and how it looks crinkly or something?.. yeah, i ironed it on a much too hot setting right before taking these photos...looks like this one is mine! if you choose to buy this, obviously yours will have a smooth hem! i learned from that one)

A bow belt

and a herringbone clutch!

crazy week ahead!

Hello! It's been a whirl wind of fabric and post office trips around here trying to get all of the Christmas orders out. I thought these dresses looked pretty hanging next to each other so I snapped some photos before I finished and sent them on their way. I'm aiming to be completely caught up by Thursday then it's a (much needed) 3 day weekend for me..!

Hope you're week is lovely!

coming soon!

Hey friends!
