Come visit my new space at 907 Arrow Road, Suite 6 in Champaign. This week, I'm by appointment.

This split skirt began with a whimsical organic cotton print I discovered and tucked away three years ago. Lighthearted and full of charm, it's delightfully unexpected for the holidays.

My ultra-mini length is the shortest I make: a playful proportion that balances chunky boots and layers over leggings or opaque tights.

Designed by me in Champaign, Illinois, and stitched in India with love.

My patternmaker and I connected when I had a retail space in St. Louis (where she is located). She invited me to be on her podcast in 2020, and then again this year.

Alison asks about my next goals in both episodes and it's pretty wild to hear the difference in my answers. In 2020, I was riding high, having just relaunched my business after navigating covid shutdowns. I had dreams of a retail space with onsite tailoring and consignment.

I'll let you listen to hear my answer in 2025. You can tell your girl has been through it. More accurately, you can tell I've learned a lot about what it takes to manufacture clothing and run a business.

Silk, once a luxury reserved for the elite, became an essential item for working cowboys.

Be inspired by how the cowboys democratized silk, and my styling tips for the new silk scarves:

My silk scarves are labeled as dry clean recommended, but silk itself is washable—it's dye transfer that can be an issue.

Researching, experimenting, and learning to care for these silk scarves has been a rewarding experience. It’s reminded me how embracing the lost art of laundering clothing can elevate the enjoyment and appreciation of our wardrobes.

After experimenting with various washing and drying methods, I’ve shared my favorites in these videos. Please note that I can’t guarantee there won’t be dye transfer, so hand wash at your own discretion.
