Hello friends!<\/p>\n

I hope those of you in the United States are looking forward to a nice long weekend. Do you have any special plans?<\/p>\n

We’ve been cat-sitting for a friend’s kitten and let me tell you, it’s been work! There’s been lots of hissing and growling, and even though he’s been here for two weeks I don’t foresee these cats ever being friends. It will be a relief when our little guy goes home again next week, and I won’t feel outnumbered anymore either. But he certainly is cute!<\/p>\n

At least they sleep a lot!<\/p>\n

Pinterest Picks<\/strong><\/p>\n

Two ideas for your Rush Hour Dress<\/a>: add a little rectangular “sleeve” like they did at J. Crew. Or layer your floral summer dress and wear it well into fall.<\/p>\n

Two ideas for your Gelato Blouse + Dress<\/a> pattern: add the ruffle to the bottom of the dress instead of the blouse for another look. Also, how cute would it be to add the short sleeves from the dress to the blouse, and I love the horizontal stripes.<\/p>\n

Are you familiar with Alex Mill? It’s a newish brand launched from some of the key folks from J. Crew, and they’re doing a terrific job. All the garment washes and soft colors, and the new take on basics. I particularly like the indigo stories. You could make a lot of these styles by riffing on some of our patterns. These two photos remind me of our Classic Shirt<\/a> (oversized) with a SoHo Skirt<\/a> (gathered instead of pleated) and our Terrace Dress<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Fun ideas for some of our Oliver + S styles: Try the Swingset Tunic<\/a> in a pretty Liberty lawn for a similar look to below, left. And add a ruffle to the Lunch Box<\/a> top and pair it with the Lunch Box Culottes for the look below, right.<\/p>\n
