How is it September already? For real! The boy starts school today, and if I’m being honest I think it couldn’t come soon enough for either of us. The last couple of weeks of summer vacation are grueling – you just know that the start of the school year is out there, looming, but you have to keep waiting and waiting for it.
The great news about September, though, is that I’m a guest designer over at 9th & Bloom this month! If you haven’t been over there yet you really need to check it out. Holly Griego opened the doors to 9th & Bloom at the beginning of August and it’s positively brimming with great designers, challenges and outgoing community members.
For my debut I created Instinct, and I love the Autumn palette. I’m a huge proponent of following your gut, and I’ve become something of an (annoying) evangelist about it. I’m resistant to change, I fear the unknown and I have quite a bit of self-doubt – but sometimes my heart is just pulling me distinctly in one direction and I really try not to let all of those negative things get in my way. The saying “fate loves the fearless” is one of my new favorite mantras – and it’s included within, of course!
Instinct is 20% off for the first 48 hours, no coupons necessary!
(Doesn’t the dark packaging just blow your mind? Haha. It really threw me for a loop.)
