I am planning a new line of hairpieces that will be coming out soon (was hoping by the end of the month but due to summer school, early September is the new date). This means that the styled photo shoot I am planning will have to be postponed but I will keep updating when I find out more :)
Here is a sneak peek at two brand new hairpieces I have created (full details can be seen when the new line is officially out!!
Sneak Peek at New Line of Hairpieces

PINK ruffled flower skirt!
A few weeks ago I had went down to the LA fabric district to find the perfect fabric for the perfect skirt for a little girl. I had found what I was looking for and after about 14+ hours of sewing, hand stitching, ruffling, and measuring-I have FINALLY finished the adorable PINK ruffled skirt!! :)
Here it is in all it's girliness!!
I attached a pink bow to the top of the skirt with a pin so that it could be moved and added where desired :)
Notice the silver shimmer within the pink :) My favorite!
I spent a lot of time on this skirt. I thought, "if I was still a little girl, how would I want my skirt to look like?" After several hours, I completed it and couldn't be happier with it! :)
Needless to say though, I am now taking a break from the sewing machine for a while and I'm going to just work on hairpieces for my new line coming out soon! :)
Also, in October, I will be a part of the 14th Annual Arts & Crafts Fair in Helendale, California which is expecting over 1,000 people to show. This also means I need to start creating lots more pieces...busy-busy but I love it all! :D Have a beautiful day!!
2 more hairpieces...
Last night I made a flower pin that will clip onto a baby girls headband. It came out so cute and baby Giuliana is gonna look adorable wearing it :D
I also made this feather pin today as well just for fun and I love how it turned out! Nothin'
but fun feathers and a crystal broach! :)
On another note, I created a custom flower hairpiece for a friend and she was so kind to post about the arrival of her hairpiece in her blog! :D Here is her wonderful post : http://www.thestoryiseverlasting.blogspot.com/2011/06/flower-power.html
Thank you Anela! :D
Have a good night everyone and I will be finding out more for the photo shoot next month very soon! {I may have found the location already as well!}
Now off to work on a cute little pink skirt! :)

ONSIES!!
I have seen diy ideas to make a plain white onesies super adorable and I thought how cute would it be to sew little "ties" with different colored fabrics to white onesies for our little man? I looked it up and found several tie ideas as well as a whole slew of others such as suspenders or pencil pockets. Here's some I ran across:
{From Lu Bird Baby}
{From La-Di-Da}
{From Green Little Piggies}
{From Daffodil Design}
I decided I will pick a pack up at Michaels using a 50% off coupon (it will come to about $5.00 for 5 onsies then :)) & add another fun project to my list! lol
~~~~~& just for fun, I found these super adorable mustache booties!!! :D~~~~~

LA Fabric District Finds :)
On Saturday morning of June 18, 2011, I took a trip down to the LA fabric district with my grandma in search for some good finds...and boy did we! The first store we went into my mouth dropped and my grandma said, "Wow! We are like kids in a candy store!" There were aisles upon aisles of different trimmings (incl. lace which is my favorite!!), ribbons, appliques, buttons, jewlery, you name it!! We even got lost trying to find the restroom within all of the aisles! Here are just a FEW pictures I took looking up to the ceiling with appliques and ribbons:
We spent about 5 and a half hours in the fabric district and these are some things I brought home with me :) Enjoy!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This is probably my favorite buy of the day (& most expensive...shhh)!!! It's SILK and beautiful and oh so feminine!! I was told I have expensive taste by the seller but it's gorgeous and soft...how can you not fall in love with this fabric?
I bought this ivory lace trimming with pearl strings. I use it in hairpieces :)
I bought this elastic type of lace to make little headbands with :)
I bought lots more buttons where these came from :) The majority of them were made in italy & france. I will use them for the center of flower hairpieces.
75 cents a yard for this ivory lace trimming!!
I fell in love with this vintage like lace :) & for 50 cents a yard...I was SOLD! Can you tell I'm just a bit obsessed with lace? lol
More lace ... :D
This pink floral cotton fabric and shimmery pink fabric are what I am currently making a little girls ruffled skirt out of :) It should be done in a couple more days!
I also bought lots of fabric for the nursery :) I still have another fabric I have to buy...something that's light brown but I bought the bulk of it and will start making the leaves for the tree on the wall as well as a little pillow (made with the fabric on top) and I'm sure I can find other things to make in the nursery as well with left over fabric :)
The last find of the day came when my grandma and I got lost trying to find our way home (darn LA freeways)! We were lead to an Olympic Donut shop where we gorged on some ham and cheese croissants and I also endulged on a large chocolate shake!!! YUMMM!!! It certainly was a great day!!! :D
Halo Hairpiece
A couple nights ago, I made this halo hairpiece within an hour from wire stems that I had left after I picked off all the flowers to use them. I used a pink peony bud and put a pink flower button in the center. I also added lace, little ivory feathers and used little pink and ivory flowers (I think they are supposed to be like cherry blossoms) to go along with the peony. I had never made a hairpiece quite like this one before but I love it and will continue to make more like it :) Listings will be up soon on my etsy account for similar hairpieces @ http://www.etsy.com/shop/kaylanicole0317 !
Next post: LA fabric district finds {& lots of them!}
Photoshoot!!!
I have been thinking that since my hairpieces have been selling quite well, I want to create a line of different hairpieces (about 12 or so) to photograph...the fun part? I also need about 4 or 5 girls to help me model them :) I'm thinking...end of July to hold this photoshoot. I will keep you guys updated! If you are interested, please contact me via facebook messages: http://www.facebook.com/kaylanicole0317
I will find a location and set up a "theme" which right now I'm thinking vintage summer fun with the girls in cute summer dresses...pearls...mary jane heels...have glass bottle sodas with cute striped straws...bubbles... etc. (my mind can go a bit crazy with ideas sometimes) If anyone would like to help style the shoot that would be AMAZING! I also have a couple photographers in mind to ask (if you are one and would be interested, contact me as well).
I want to send pictures to a couple different blogs as well as put them on my etsy shop site. So your help would be greatly appreciated in anyway if we can make this happen! :)
Details soon to come!
