Day of 45 of Dress the Rainbow in purple with Lacy Timmerman of Lacy Dresses Vintage and her mom’s shop, Why Naught shop. I first met these lovely ladies at Vintage Whites flea market earlier this year and it was love at first sight. I felt like I had found a long lost sister. This duo does an amazing job of curating the best of the best vintage dresses out there (I wanted this one so bad! Scroll down!). Lacey is getting married in the next couple of weeks and it’s been so fun to see all the elements she’s creating for it.

And another fun celebrity story: Mindy Kaling bought the dress on the right just last week. Gah!

Day 44 of Dress the Rainbow in plum while fake juggling. Guys, I’m a really good fake juggler.

And this dress? It was bought by Parker Posey at my fave vintage shop in Salt Lake City, Maeberry Vintage. Rachael, the owner of the store, said she bought a bunch of dresses and returned it in exchange for another. Perfect timing Parker. Thanks for making Dress the Rainbow run smoothly 😉

Day 43 of Dress the Rainbow in grape purple with the delightful Vanessa Quigley of Chatbooks. Vanessa and I met on a cruise ship in January at Click Retreat and we became fast friends. If you haven’t heard about Chatbooks, it’s a great service where you can print out your Instagram photos and turn them into books for just $6. I have found that they are great for family and business archives. Here’s the deal though, Chatbooks 2.0 roles out after Labor Day and the price will increase to $8 per book. Any subscriptions ordered before then will stay at $6 for two years.

Use the code HOUSE419 to confirm your $6 price! Download the App from the app store or go here to their website!

Day 42 of Dress the Rainbow with my dear friend, Sarah of the illustrative design house, Sarah Jane Studios. Sarah is magic. That’s really the best adjective I can ascribe to her. She lives a life of pursuing beauty and wealth and passion but in the best senses of the words. She is kind and wise and smart and beautiful and talented, but really, how she does it by magic. I think of her as Mother Goose–a teller of beautiful stories through her illustrations and words. I’m lucky to call her my friend. She has some very exciting things happening in the near future and you must check it out. This includes some new books she’s written/illustrated, a new fabric line, new prints, and a new shop!
