IN MY LIFE

» Lately, I’ve really been loving blogs with clean, simple, greyscale layouts. So on a whim late last night, I gave the ole blog here a little makeover. The layout is still the same, only cosmetic changes have been made. And hey, I tend to change my mind a lot, so who knows - I may be back to color by spring. But for now I thought I would give this a go. (And I updated the shop to match!)

» I also switched over to Passionfruit for sponsorships. You can now view all advertising information, and apply for a spot, right from my sponsor page on the left hand sidebar!

» A couple of gorgeous Etsy treasuries that have featured shopHollyDolly - morning colors and looking for yes. 

» Speaking of Etsy treasuries, I’ve recently started making some myself again! You can view all of my lists here. 

» Wishlist wants : this kimono, this jacket, this dress,  and these flats. 

» Want an instant home makeover, but don’t want to commit? Washi tape. My dresser looks brand new.

Shop Update : Holiday Bows / Discount Code

It’s that time of year again! And shopHollyDolly is now stocked with a couple of handfuls of holiday themed bows. You can now find both the hair clips and necklaces in holiday red and festive metallics. I have a number of  silver and red pieces in stock, but the gold and bronze bows are limited (i.e - only one of each size available!)- so shop fast if you are interested :)

Shop Update - no. 4

This week’s shop update features new takes on old items. Bows and tassels - can you tell I love them?! 

Bow In A Row - This is a fun little play on my signature bow necklace. Still made out of leather, I’ve shrunk the bows down to itty bitty miniature size. 5 of these mini bows dangle from small gold chain. Too cute. 

Fringe - Switching it up from my usual leather tassels, Fringe necklaces are made from colored floss. These ones are trio tassels, and I’ve tried to keep them in cool ombre color palletes. But I’ll have single Fringe necklaces soon, too!

Stay tuned for more shop updates to come!

Time for another shopHollyDolly update, you guys! Up this week - The Mixer and Spool. 

The Mixer is an eclectic mix of different beads all strung together. They can include hand painted wood beads, pyrite, turquoise, glass beads, and anything I can get my hands on! Each one is different, and therefore one of a kind!

Spool necklaces are really neat, and pull at my little sewing-loving heartstrings. Each is made from a vintage wooden spool, and then wrapped in different color-blocked floss. Perfect for a seamstress or craft-lover! 

Ah yes, and I also added just a couple more hair bows, as well. 

Stay tuned next week for another batch of new items!

I have the next batch of shopHollyDolly items ready to go! Introducing : Little Gem and Five. 

Little Gem is a dainty little necklace featuring a little colored gem and a dropped gold filled chain. Right now, it comes in teal green, orange, and smokey grey. I’m kind of obsessed with this new little necklace! You can see me wearing it here and here. 

Five is a necklace that features 5 different colored faceted beads. Some have a dropped chain, while others have a tangled web of chain intertwined between the beads. All of these necklaces end up looking different - between the color combos and different chain details. So every one is like a one of a kind! You can see me wearing Five here. 

Oh yes, and I also updated the tassel necklaces. Check those out, too, in the shop. 

Stay tuned next week for another batch of new items!
