Printed Paisley Jumpsuit for Spring
I love a good jumpsuit, and when one is so comfy that it feels like you're wearing pajamas- I consider that a major win! I had always steered clear of this super flowy, shapeless silhouette of jumpsuit before because I didn't think it would work with my figure. I'm so glad I tried it though, because I ended up loving how it fits (and you could also easily belt it if you want a more defined waist). This jumpsuit has the cutest bright print and details too. Not only does it have adjustable straps, but there's also side ties under each arm that helps adjust the tightness and how low-cut it is on the sides too.
Derby Party Recipes
Derby parties are one of my favorite events to host and a great way to kick off summer outdoor entertaining. Last year I collaborated with Lex Eats to pull together a collection of all our favorite Kentucky Derby party recipes! Our menu incorporates lots of finger foods + bite sized appetizers perfect for snacking on all day throughout your derby festivities. We also included an easy + refreshing cocktail as well as a fun dessert option! Check out the full menu + recipes below. You can even print out the menu to use for your own derby party! Also don't forget to check out the full list of Derby themed posts from other local Bluegrass bloggers!
Favorite Customer Snaps from Our Spring Pop-Up Market
Thank you so much to everyone who came out and attended our first spring pop up market this past weekend at the Amsden! We were blessed with a sunny and beautiful spring day and were lucky to be joined by some amazing local vendors. As always, I loved looking through all our customer's photos from their visit and think that they paint a perfect picture of the event as a whole. I've rounded up my favorites and included them below! As always be sure to hashtag your photos #theamsden when you visit for a chance to be featured!
Vintage Chambray Shirt + Striped Skirt
One of my favorite ways to switch up my vintage denim pieces for spring and summer is by adding fun patches! Using iron-on patches makes it so easy and there are so many different styles available online, Etsy especially. This cactus patches is one of my favorites and I've linked the exact patch I used above + below (it's just $5!). I paired my chambray skirt with a lightweight striped midi skirt and some of my favorite vintage leather flats. You can shop all my outfit details + similar vintage pieces linked above + below!
Creative Collective Mentor + Mix at The Barn At Springhouse
Things that aren’t as easy as they look: throwing balloons into the air and immediately striking a pose for a photo....and running a business, a side hustle, or just being an all-around force to be reckoned with.
That’s why we’re here! We are so grateful for all of the amazing women who attended our first event, and we can’t WAIT for Mentor + Mix on May 8th from 7-9pm.
The founders of CC have experience in so many fields, including design, retail, photography, branding, marketing, art, events, renovation, and starting and sustaining a business...to name a few! Now, we want to be an asset to you.
DIY Balloon Arch
One of my favorite parts of our Creative Collective Meet + Mingle event was designing + putting together this balloon arch backdrop. This was my first time attempting any kind of balloon arch, but I was surprised at how easy it was and how quickly I seemed to get the hang of the process. Like most of my DIY projects, I read several tutorials online and then kind of combined the easiest steps from each (because I don't have any time for complicated projects!). I did have lots of help with this project, as one of our coffee shop employees helped me blow up most of the balloons and my friend Katie helped me assemble and hang the arch onto the wall. This is such a great way to create a stunning focal point for any event or party and I PROMISE it isn't as hard as it looks (or I wouldn't have done it).
