To Top It All Off

We've been busy at Hems & Hers this week. A skirt, dress and this precious top hit the mailbox to travel to their new owners. I loved Lexiloo's choice of this fresh Amy Butler print. This tie-neck tunic style will look amazing over jeans and leggings, and the subdued, pretty color palette will be ideal to welcome the autumn season.

We've Got Spirit, Yes We Do

My mom just completed this adorable skirt for a fellow Tennessee fan, and I'm in love with it. I can't imagine many people looking cuter than Ms. Samma this football season. A precious skirt or dress is always a nice change from jeans and a school t-shirt on game days, don't you think, ladies?

Rockin' Robin

This pretty fabric has been sitting in my cabinet for a couple of months, and I didn't know what to make out of it or how it would translate into a garment. When Miss Queen Bee Swain asked for a tie-neck dress out of it, I was a little nervous, but my fears were instantly assuaged when I saw how gorgeous it came out. The combination of pinks, oranges and browns makes this an absolutely fabulous transitional and fall piece. Paired with tights and boots or over a turtleneck, this little beauty is much more than a one-season wonder.

Welcome to the Jungle

On Monday I decided to experiment with a new skirt. I wanted something A-line but in a sleeker silhouette than the pleated skirt. I took some old home dec fabric that was in Little and Daddy's basement (and also adorns a bench and pillow in my house) and got to work. I was beyond thrilled with the results. A multitude of darts makes the fit tres flattering, and the skirt is so sophisticated and chic and will look amazing paired with tights and brown boots this fall/winter. Unfortunately it's too snug for me, so it's officially part of the Hems & Hers inventory. Please let me know if you're interested in buying this skirt... it will fit a size 4.

She Got It From Her Momma

Lest you think I created my love of fashion and flair all by myself, please note that I came by it honestly. Check out these shots of my beautiful mother in her Hems & Hers tie-neck dress. It's a great reminder that fabrics don't need to be busy or full of loud prints to be unbelievably adorable (plus, take a gander at her hot kicks!).

Ruffle My Feathers

I have a thing for feathers. Even more so when they're of the peacock variety, so my heart skipped a beat when Black Labs & Lilly chose this fabric for her ruffle neck dress. I made my own in July (also featuring peacocks), and to date, it's still one of my favorites. Unfortunately, it's hard to get a good shot of this dress - halters and clothes hangers are not wonderful friends. I tried my best, but I know it will look even better on Ms. BL&L.

Best In Sew

My sweet, stylish mother (commonly referred to as Little) is the owner, founder and designer of SuZeeBee belts. She is also the reason I learned how to sew, and due to her immense talent with a needle and thread, is my business partner in Hems & Hers. Little has been busy making gorgeous garments for some of my Sis's friends. Want a sneak peek? Of course you do. Feast your eyes on these little pieces of eye candy. And don't forget to order yours today!
