I just ordered this fabulous tunic from Artful Home. I think it is one of the best additions to my wardrobe I have added recently. It is a crinkly linen so it doesn’t wrinkle (very packable), the color is heavenly, and it can be worn multiple ways. I have already worn it several times. The Portofino Tunic from Carol Turner for Artful Home is pure heaven. The Melish Cloche Hat looks a lot like a much more expensive brand for a lot less. The Hue Capri leggings are comfy and a great ...

Rough Luxe Fashion-The Art of Kantha
I am a fan of anything repurposed, recycled or reinterpreted. Anything that has some history and lived a former life as something else intrigues me. I am particularly intrigued how artists are reinterpreting Kantha into fashion-forward clothing and decor for the home. source So what is Kantha exactly? Kantha is a type of embroidery from India and parts of Asia. They are made up of discarded garments or cloths. Old saris are stacked on one other and hand-stitched to ...

I love shopping at my favorite local boutiques like Tancredi & Morgen and Warmth Company, but I find now that I am a gimp I am searching more and more for online sources. Enter Details Direct. I stumbled upon them because they had so ...
