Little Pieces of Hope + Still & Sea

Thank you so very much to everyone who came out this Saturday to the Little Pieces of Hope trunk show at Still & Sea. It was so great to visit with some old friends in Austin, while also meeting some new ones. 

Still & Sea was the absolute perfect place to kick off the first day of Summer. Not only was I surrounded by good friends, but also BEAUTIFUL swimwear. Brigitte, the shop owner, is a genius when it comes to buying for her shop. Growing up in Hawaii, Brigitte was constantly surrounded by babes in bikinis. After trying out the corporate world for a bit, she decided it was time to go out on her own and pursue her dream. Fast forward a little and that's how Still & Sea came to be! Her shop carries brands such as Frankie's Bikinis, Basta Surf, Lisa Lozano and her favorite Acacia Swimwear. You can bet your bottom dollar I left the trunk show with some adorable swimsuits of my own! ;)

Thank you to everyone who came out to the Cotone Trunk Show this passed Saturday! It was so great getting to catch up with some old friends, while also meeting some new ones!

 When supporting Little Pieces of Hope you aren't just helping me live my dream, but you are also giving a little piece of hope for a better life to those in need. Thank you so very much for all your love! I wouldn't  be able to do any of this without y'all.

If you live in the Austin area and are looking for something fun to do this weekend, come on out to the Little Pieces of Hope Trunk Show! Cotone on Guadalupe will be hosting the Young, Wild & Free Trunk Show on Saturday from 1-4pm. Not to mention, they just received a HUGE shipment of Summer clothing from brands such as Alternative Apparel, Chaser as well as Mink Pink. So if you are looking for a few new pieces to add to your Summer wardrobe, this is the time and place to go! If I haven't convinced you already, there will even be a Mother's Day special -  Buy 1 item, get the other less expensive item 30% off! Can't go wrong with that!

This will be one of the last trunk shows in Austin for the Young, Wild & Free Collection, as I am packing up my Jeep and moving to Colorado for the Summer. If you are currently living in Colorado and have a favorite farmers market or boutique, please share! I'm looking for all the help I can get when it comes to expanding the brand :)

Hope to see a few of you there on Saturday!
