Sponsor Spotlight on Chez Violette & Stranger Bird Vintage

Hello Darlings,

As we are half way through the month of April already (hard to believe, right?), I wanted to introduce you to two of my very sweet sponsors this month.  Both shop owners with two uniquely enchanting Etsy storefronts and all around loverly gals...

 

Chez Violette is a French craft addict who designs and handmades rustic textile decoration and romantic accessories. She loves natural colors, beautiful fabric, vintage buttons, artisanal wool and crocheted lace. In all those creations, you find a little spirit from France : lavender from Provence, French toile, regional artisanal wool, vintage or artisanal ceramic button.

Have you ever found a real gem while you were thrifting - something gorgeous and lovely that you just can't bear to leave behind, even if it's not your size or style? After falling in love like this way too many times, I decided it was time to share! Every item I list is something that I would be proud to wear myself, if only I had the closet space.  When I'm not out hunting for vintage lovelies with my composer husband, I can usually be found reading with our little girl or practicing folk songs on my uke.

The Gal Known as "The Hat"

Hi there darlings! 

A lovely gal known as Rachel, The Hat will be filling my shoes today and I'm so thrilled to have her step in for me. I've been following this sweet bird for quite some time now and have forever been inspired by her creative and quite colorful outfits - not to mention she is also a mommy to a cutie pie little guy just like me :-)  Be sure to give her a nice warm hello and check out her ga ga gorgeous blog if you do so fancy.

Catch you all soon!

Hello Lovely Readers of The Shades Of Monet Chronicles!

Marisa has very kindly allowed me a little guest post for you all today! It sure is lovely to 'meet you'!!

I'm Rachel and i blog over at Rachel The Hat, where i mostly prance around in dresses and take photos of where i live here in the Welsh hills here in the UK. Lately we have had soooo much snow which has meant lots of days in with movies and hot chocolates whilst trying not to go stir crazy with cabin fever heehee!

So with all this spare time on my hands i have been creating some fun outfits. I love to make lists of outfits and go through my wardrobe creating fun remixes of some old favorites.

In my wardrobe you will find lots of:

Bright colours, Patterns, Polka dots and Stripes, Florals, bright fun coloured tights, vintage brooches and lots of hats, very similar to Marisa infact! She has great taste doesn't she!

What else is there to know? Well i'm a wife, a mama (to my beautiful boy Neo) and a step mum to my great step kiddos. Im a hard worker (i'm just your friendly Travel agent.. you need a holiday, i'm your lady;-) and generally a very happy soul.

I absolutely love to express myself through my outfits, i have always said that i am an absolutely awful artist; i can not paint of sculpt and i definitely lack the skill to draw (hello stick men!) So putting fun creative outfits together is my form of artwork, expression if you like! The blogosphere sure is full of wonderful inspiration isn't it?

 Dress: Thrifted

Tights: Matalan

Belt: From another dress

Brooch: Vintage

Coat: River Island

Clog Shoes: Lotta From Stockholm

Shirt: Next

Well lovelies, its been great chatting with you and if you ever fancy a chat and a cuppa do pop on over to my corner of the web ! Tea's on me ;-)

Bye For now!

Rachel

Sponsor Spotlight: Meet Z

Hello Darlings, 

I just wanted to take a moment to introduce one of my mid-month sponsors to you all.  Meet Z, she's one cool gal, you will want to know.

************************************************************************************************************

Hey all - I'm Z and I run sometimesztakespictures. Originally from a tiny town in Wisconsin, I moved to Boston last year so I could go to angsty underground concerts, eat way too many burgers, and realize that maybe I can pull off a lip ring. (And occasionally I go to class to study creative writing, but that's more of a side thing...) On my blog you'll find rants about cooking pizza, over thought out playlists, and the chronicles of my yellow backpack Henry who accompanied me on my cross-country tour of Europe last semester. 

Oh, and sometimes I take pictures.

You can find Z hanging out at these places:

Southern Cali Belle

Hello there darlings!

Today I have one doll of a blogger, sponsor, and fellow Flock Together gal taking over my little ol space for the day.  Meet Ashley of Southern California Belle:

My name is Ashley and I blog over at Southern (California) Belle.  I'm a surgical technician by day and blogger by... well... whenever I can find some free time!  I grew up in a suburb of Los Angeles and made my way into the big city a few years ago. 

I have a happy little life with my fiance and our two chihuahuas Paczki and Tommy.  I enjoy shopping (of course), hiking, eating vegetables, wearing pretty dresses and watching Nick at Nite :). I love to showcase my passion for all things girly (and cost efficient) on my blog.  If it has ruffles, sparkles, or tulle, it's all mine!

Let's play 5 questions (Thanksgiving style) with Ashley:

1. Pumpkin or Apple Pie? 

Pumpkin pie!  I'm not a big pie person at all, but something about the holidays has me craving pumpkin pie.

2. Do you have any holiday traditions? 

Our holiday tradition is to celebrate Christmas on the 24th.  Much like New Year's Eve, we stay up until midnight and open all our presents over champagne and dessert.

            3. What dish do you look forward to most at Thanksgiving? 

I'm crazy for stuffing and of course, pumpkin pie :) 

4. Have you started listening to Christmas music yet? 

Not yet!  Although I hear it all over the radio.  I'll be cranking up the Christmas tunes after Thanksgiving passes. 

5. What are you thankful for most during this month of Thanks? 

I'm thankful for my fiance, my two adorable chihuahuas, and my job. 

Thanks so much Ashley for filling in my shoes today!  Wanna see more from this lovely gal?  You can find her:
