Watch the video here: Bib & Tucker Kickstarter

Our amazing friend and emerging Textile Designer Lillis Taylor has started a Sew-op coined Bib & Tucker.  It’s a multi-generational group of sewing enthusiasts who meet weekly to share their love of sewing in the historic Woodlawn neighborhood of Birmingham, Ala.  They have big plans for their growing group.  Dreams to create, design and quilt!  These ladies have the opportunity to purchase a long-arm sewing machine.  The machine will surely take them further than Quiltfest 2013. Here’s where you come in…they’ve created a kickstarter fundraising campaign.  You can donate anywhere from $5-$2000.  Bib & Tucker will use additional funds for supplies like thread, batting, fabric, rulers, scissors, rotary cutters, needles, pins and other materials needed to keep their sewing shop running!  Please take time to watch the video and DONATE!  If you donate here’s what you’ll get…gifts from Bib & Tucker

They’ve got some really great momentum and would love for you to be involved!  The ladies meet every Tuesday at Desert Island Supply Co. in Woodlawn.  Contact Lillis or the Molly Green girls for more information!  Find Bib & Tucker on Facebook here

It’s a Wrap

eliza and ethanPerfection, broadly stated is completeness with a touch of flawless.  With this definition in mind I’ll confidently claim I’ve found the perfect dress.  The Eliza and Ethan multi wrap dress fits about every occasion every body-type and size plus comes in 18 colors.  The dress can be wrapped in 20 different ways creating endless options for wear.  My personal favorite is the Grecian one-shoulder way in grey.  A surefire plan to keep your bridesmaids as friends post wedding day; let them wear a dress they will ALL look great in AND look forward to wearing again!  We’ve styled this dress for black tie parties, high school reunions and island vacations.  Best of all…it lives in a velvet pouch smaller than your purse…making it exceptionally neat for travel.  Watch the video below for wrapping instructions then, hop on over to Molly Green Boutique and try one on for yourself OR purchase here.

Accessorize Yourself

Granted, a big ole smile will always be my most prized accessory…but a bit of bling never hurt anyone.  I’m a huge fan of casual Friday, t-shirt Tuesday and wacky Wednesday…whatever that means.  Put me in a fresh cotton t, M2F skinny’s, my favorite 5″ maple pumps and you know it’s gonna be a good day.  For this reason it’s imperative I pile on the shiny things.  Earrings, a long necklace and a  huge statement watch are my usual go-to items.  I love cute little heart earrings and necklaces with zebras.  Fuel your need for kitch in the accessories section of the M.G. shop!  See ya soon, until then…keep it casual/yet excessively adorned.

Ciao Bella!

I am currently in Roma, the Eternal City! Since going to college January has become one of my favorite times of year not just because it is the beginning of a new year, but because my college provides the unique opportunity for personal exploration. In the past, I have taken a class on Marilyn Monroe, a wonderful internship, and a visit to Italy! This year I am happily returning to Italy! Here are some of my favorite out and about outfits.

Varsity sweaters are one of my favorite trends this season! It is so easy to pair them with almost anything for an effortlessly chic look.

At the Imperial Form: I love this floral top I bought at Molly Green. The floral pattern is  fun without  being overpowering.

I love bright scarves! This beautiful and original print Tré Lilli scarf {available at Molly Green} is one of my favorites!

Proverbially Feral Child


Do you ever get the feeling you know someone through their art?  After the painting in your living room becomes so familiar…a part of your life and home.  Not only do you understand the art but it understands you.  This is the way I feel about Feral Child.  The line; birthed in a sink of creativity, friendship and art of course.  Designers Alice and Moriah fancy whimsy and sustainability in a most perfect combination.  Their style evokes simplicity and familiarity coupled with a dash of curious.   Here’s a sneak peek of the Spring 2013 styles coming to Molly Green in the upcoming months. Cabbage Dress SproutTurnip Dress OatCimarron Top SproutDeacon Blouse ChambraySpade Skirt Victory Chambray
