What Maebel will wear when she is bald: Hugs and Kisses

In the Evans family, we are born bald. And we stay bald for at least a good year. Maybe two. My unborn niece Maebel's only chance of hair is the Johns side of the family. I feel it is my personal duty to accessorize Maebel's bald head.

Last night, Bon Lemon did a joint trunk show with Bri from Hugs and Kisses. I was so excited to learn Hug and Kisses makes hair flowers for babies (and ladies). (Read: Maebel has a chance of looking cute, even if she doesn't sprout any hair.) All of the flowers can be attached to beanies, hair, or headbands as shown in the picture. And their prices are sooooo affordable.

But the best part about Hugs and Kisses was Bri herself. She has such a great personality and clearly loves what she does. We talked a lot of shop and exchanged business ideas. Like so many women, she is trying to find a balance between work and family. There are not enough hours in the day! I hope to do a show with Bri again. It is always great to meet other women in business. Check out Hugs and Kisses: http://www.facebook.com/briananettleton?sk=info#!/xoxobybre. I think her stuff makes a great addition to a baby shower gift. And how about these booties? CUTE!!!






Maebel now has her own personal collection of Hugs and Kisses. She will be thanking me when she looks back at pictures of herself as a baby and the only thing denoting her as a girl is the purple flower in her hair. (Evanses also look like boys for 4 or 12 years. Sister being the former and me being the latter.)

Yeah for accessories!

Tuesday

It is a dreary Tuesday outside. Because, it is my understanding, you do not refer to people by their actually names in blogs, but instead by some cute made-up name, I will refer to my current company as: 6 Par Farmer, Sr., 6 Par Farmer, and Dolce Vita Evans (dogs don't get pseudonyms).

I am getting caught up on my incredibly useless Microsoft Excel spreadsheet that tracks what I buy, what I sell, who buys it, what my profit is, etc, in the most inefficient, useless way. I need a new point-of-sale system, but I feel a little over extended on inventory right now. So, until I start rolling in the dollas and pony up for a real POS system, I will keep inputting things into said spreadsheet with the hopes of appearing organized.

In an effort to do a better job blogging, I have selected some more picks of the day. This is a fun way to show you what I think is cute today. I have selected two items that don't appear to have anything in common, don't look good next to each other, and any professional merchandiser would gasp at them being mentioned together. But they both represent fall to me.

First, the Fall Plaid Scarf. It is a cozy, 100% cotton, orange, plaid scarf that reminds me of pressing cider, wearing Hunter boots, and drinking salted caramel hot chocolate. This baby screams fall

The second item may not scream fall. It might actually scream five year old ballet recital or New York City or spring. But I think, in every season, it is important to add a little whimsy to your outfit to remind yourself, life is fun! Whether it is a sparkly cocktail ring or a frilly, chiffon headband, spice it up. The Little Bunny Foo Foo headband reminds us, regardless of the season, we all need a little flare.

Enjoy my friends.
