Happy hump day darlings!

Today I'm bringing you my second installment from the Mata Traders Remix Challenge of my Summerfest House - printed dress.  This time around, I wanted to keep it simple - no layers!  It's such a great dress, it actually doesn't need any which is why it's quite perfect for a hot and humid day like this scorcher.

As I kept the color palette neutral last time around - this time I wanted to add small pops of brights - red, turquoise, a smidgen of jade green in my hat and I was feeling quite fancy and fine.  You know because pops of color rock.  Get it...pops rock?  Ok that was super cheesy, but color always puts me in a festive and chipper sort of mood, so there you go.

As I mentioned before, Mata Traders is a super cool Fair Trade Company ...you can read more about them HERE or in my previous remix post.  Their products are beautiful and made with care and quality by women across India and Nepal.  As a little bonus right now - take 10% off your order on the Mata Traders site with the code MATA_SHADES .  There are so many lovelies to choose from, take a peek and see what I mean.

Well I gotta run, but I'll see ya real soon.
Love Bunches,

Hello darlings, 

I'm back this season with another remix challenge from Mata Traders.  As you may already know, I'm a ginormous fan of this company and their mission.  Not only are Mata Traders awesome quality and not to mention gorgeous...they are a Fair Trade company.  Their pieces are sewn by members of women's cooperatives in India and Nepal which in turn provides a way out of poverty and a better future for these women's children.  Pretty awesome, right?

Anyhow, this time around I am remixing the Summerfest Dress in houses print.  Gah, I'll say it again, I'm a sucker for novelty prints and this one is perfectly cute and quirky.  Also, the cut of this dress is divine - gotta love a full skirt, yeah?  

This is one of a four part remix.  If you remember the previous remixes I did with Mata Traders - I remixed by occasions and seasons. (See HERE and HERE).  This time around, I decided to remix by  different color palettes.  

First up: I'm Black and Blue.  I really wanted to create a more neutral color scheme - so as the dress is blue and white - I wanted to throw in black, brown and ivory, to create a more classic look.  Speaking of neutrals - looks my neutral colored feathery friends wanted to join in on the challenge too.

Next up: part 2: A little color... but until then I wish you a terrific Tuesday.

Love Bunches,
