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.

with love

this week+ turned into a month - i can hardly believe the time has gone by so quickly.

i could go on for hours about how amazing it has been to keep up this blog. it's a constant source of inspiration, a great way to get in touch with new people, a sounding board, an outlet, my baby, my collection, my voice. even though this blog is all of those things, this last month has not been a void.

there are changes abound - a new job, a new project, & hopes of building my community here in seattle. for now, i hit the pause button on still dottie adventures.

with love.
