I am no stranger to colors and prints, so I was immediately drawnto Gorman. After seeing the Autumn collection over at Miss Moss (which wasequally exciting!) I knew I wanted to doa post about it. The print mixing, and cuts are perfect for spring! What adelight.

My Perfect Spring Outfit

2012-01-24T09:13:00.000-08:00

My perfect spring outfit!

A crisp new pair of jeans. Just the perfect cut to roll a fewtimes on a warmer day.

This top, which on the websites it is said to be "olive" print, but they surely look like ping pong paddles to me! Are you with me, or am i delusional?

On a cooler day, I would toss on this structured but cozylooking stripe jacket.

I am really loving this “smoker” loafer style this season. Ialready purchased a pair in this style from Target. They are pink snake skin!This gold pair is the perfect neutral for any time of year, if you ask me!

What are you crazy about for your closet this spring??

Restocking

2012-01-12T09:18:00.000-08:00

Now that the holidays are over, and you won't need Christmas decorfor another ohh… 9 months or so! I am getting back to listing jewels andaccessories in my handmade shop. Thanks to everyone who purchased the Holidaydecor, look for even more this Fall/Winter. But I am sure like me, you don't wantto hear another thing about the C word for at least a bit longer. I am sothrilled to share my new creations with all of you. This is just a peek into what’snew, and I have so much more to come. If you like what you see, spread theword, tell your friends!

Pitter Patter

2012-01-10T19:44:00.000-08:00

Pitter Patter my heart is a flutter over these pieces!

The flamingo skirt is actually

hanging in my closet, already!

I wore it on awarmer day,

and I cannot wait to wear it with

all sorts of things this springand summer.

I love this denim top, it is casual,

but structured, and looks so cozy!

I wish the kitty shoes were not a wild

amount ofmoney, because I could wear

this type of shoe with just about

anything.

Alsolately I am very much into

lace, and who doesn't love a bow topped shoe?

Just perfect, everything!

What is your favorite piece? 1, 2, 4, 5: Here 3: Here

Dots, Stripes, and Solids. Oh My!

2012-01-09T12:52:00.000-08:00

Dots, stripes, solids, and prints! Red, Green, black, and blue! Such a big update this weekend and coming week. I am going to pack the store full! Stop by and say, Hello!

Skinny OR Wide?

2012-01-08T15:05:00.000-08:00

Hello, to you out there! Don't you just love these slacks? The perfect color and cut if you ask me! I for one am glad that the trends are starting to shy away from "skinny" jeans. They have never been something i fancy. At least now we are getting options!

What's your take, skinny or wide?

Christmas is Coming!

2011-11-03T20:35:00.001-07:00

Ginger Hollow is back! I have so much I want to list, but i thought since Christmas is just 7 weeks away, that i should start with ornaments! I know that as a child we put our tree up the day after Thanksgiving. (Never being big black Friday shoppers) This is my first Christmas living away from home, and married! So i am over the moon ready to decorate just how i want. The problem is.. i have nothing. Well maybe not nothing.. I do have a small box of vintage ornaments. But aside from that, i have nothing! Must get started.

All ornaments available now!

Welcome home!

2011-07-20T21:25:00.000-07:00

Today i got a new puppy! He is either, lab corgie, or lab beagle. I am leaning toward beagle, because i am not sure gravity would be on the side of a lab corgie combo, but that is what the cage form said. (he looks beagle to me!) He is about 2 months, and so so so sweet! It was kind of overwhelming at the pound. They had about 75 dogs in one location, and they were all begging (loudly) to be taken home. It was nearly deafening! I had to step out into the grassy area after we would pick one to spend time with, because it would cause a near riot at the site of a leash. Rather heart breaking if i say so myself. But i am a VERY big dog lover. I have been in my new place for almost a month, and was more than eager to get a pup! It is hard being home alone all day, for those of you who work at home i am sure you can relate. Anyway, his name is Roman, and he is cute, and sweet, and loves to chew on cords.. We will be working on that one. He almost pulled a lamp down on his head 3 times. He seems to love us as much as we love him. I cannot wait to get to know him!

Summer Wishlist

2011-05-19T20:53:00.000-07:00

This summer i am finding myself totally into separates. Mixing and matching of prints! I have been into dresses for the summer many years now, and i haven't worn skirts since my teen years. (i wore 70's maxi skirts as a teen) I love the natural waist style. But trying them on is making me want to head to the gym. This is one of the least favorite places on my figure. Sometimes i wish i could step out of my body, and see what i *really* look like in something. Know what i mean? Anyway! These beauties above are a taste of what i am into this spring/summer.

What is your closet lacking/craving this season?

All above items are from Anthropologie, and J.crew.

Baby it's cold outside..

2011-05-15T20:37:00.001-07:00

I cannot believe it is (past) mid May and the last 3 days here have been in the low 50's. Though the few days before that were in the mid 90's.. Layer up! You never know what is coming at you this time of year. How is the weather where you are?
