Iva Jean Launches the Rain Cape

I quit blogging on still dottie a little over a year ago and I've got some exciting news for those of you still paying attention. We've launched our first product over at Iva Jean - the Rain Cape.

Designed to protect you from the rain with the style and personality you bring to every other aspect of your life. The Rain Cape provides a stylish and functional solution that works on and off your bike, proving that you are more than a cyclist.

Continuing a legacy of timeless outerwear products produced in the Pacific Northwest, the Rain Cape was designed and made in Seattle, a place more than used to a little rain.

On Sale Now - ready to ship September 1, 2011.

fashion blitz - summer breeze

this outfit feels like summer. i love the long, bare legs paired with a slouchy blazer.

fashion blitz - summer dress

this little lady came home with me on sunday. she's perfect, just the piece i needed for my summer wardrobe. i met her at horseshoe on ballard ave in seattle. the sweetest shop; each piece seems handpicked and the staff was super helpful & not at all pushy. also, peek this, this, & this.

etsy wednesday - harnesses from norwegian wood

these are hot right? elastic and chain harnesses for $45-$65 from norwegian wood.

fashion blitz - shadowsleeve cardigan

i'm living in this.

fashion blitz - hair by william scott blair

as i start thinking about styling for upcoming projects, i can't resist dramatic, pretty hair. william scott blair works at vain & has a beautiful portfolio. photography by kyle johnson.

handmade days - geometric tee

another way to bump up a plain tee from spin off stuff. this photo tutorial is super easy to follow - break out the fabric paint!

etsy wednesday - hier apparel

constantly inspired. this obi bag from hier apparel is on my wishlist. not to mention everything else from her store.

fashion blitz - toy watch

oprah loves it, sandra bullock wears one. yeah, well i didn't know that when i fell in love with this glow in the dark (looks like jade) toy watch at nordstroms the other day. is $275 for too much for a trendy plastic watch?

etsy wednesday - replicca

i won't lie - if i could choose a fabric to spend most of my days in it'd be jersey knit, specifically that perfect weight of knit that feels like it's been work to the perfect softness. i understand that this sounds like unrefined taste, but them are the facts. someday i hope to see the pleasures in the finest silks & cashmere. for now, i'll take anything from the etsy shop of replicca, especially this adorable dress. visit her shop for more hoodies, tees, and dresses.

if you have an etsy account where you track favorite shops & items do not ignore the suggested shops tab - if you do, you will greatly regret it.

fashion blitz - leather gloves

i saw this look on the bus this morning - navy blazer, camel knee high boots & leather gloves. i thought it looked pretty hot, now i want a pair.

i also saw someone with black trousers and converse high tops a' la j.crew. it looked pretty great, but can i pull the look off with low shoes sans socks?

handmade days - friendship bracelets

i think these bracelets from brvtvs are pretty great - but i bet you could make one for yourself (i might try my hand at it on the car ride to vancouver tomorrow). seems like all you would need is a chunky gold chain, jump rings, clasp, and embroidery floss. stay tuned, i'll let you know how it turns out.

fashion blitz - summer linen

mmmmm - summer linens with a pop of color. spring 2010 from heidi merrick.
