Amenity has stolen my heart!

So, as some of you know, I am about 5 months pregnant...this is Kelly writing by the way...I don't want to get Joelle in trouble! I am very much into design (duh) and I have been searching for the right combo of baby colours...well let me tell you...it ain't easy. The mainstream resources out there offer a plethora of 'way too cutsie' for me patterns that really DO NOT reflect my style at all. I don't want to have to decorate the room in either blue for boys or pink for girls...it just ain't me. So recently I discovered this adorable pattern with everything I truly wanted in a room! I have an old rocking chair painted green and some orange spliced into the mix which is a great mixture but VERY hard to match up to. This blanket encompassed everything I wanted in the design - a cute bunny - but not too cute, and splashes of citrus hues that are bright, cheery and gender neutral. The designer is called Amenity, and I wanted to thank them for saving me from baby nightmares! The only hard part will be letting the new bebe cuddle up and possibly poop on this blanket...that is hurdle number two, but I'll deal with that later...

gettin' figgy with it

We just finished a website for an up-and-coming jewelry design company called "Frankly Fig." And I won't be modest here, but the owner of the company is my extremely wonderful and talented cousin Julia!

Julia is seriously fashionable...and when this chick {Joelle} has days of not-so-wicked style {an occurrence happening more and more I'm afraid}, I look to Julia to see what trends are in, and for inspiration in her wonderfully funky outfits. So it is no surprise that her resin jewelry collection is equally fashionable and creative.

Check out the entire collection at her freshly launched website - www.franklyfig.com - and get Figged!
