Welcome to the new Sequins & Stripes! Doesn’t she look fresh? Gosh I can’t tell you how happy I am to see her all sparkly clean. This is all thanks to my dear friend Hanna of Gadabout, who helped with a complete rebrand and jump to WordPress. I sincerely could not have done it without her genius brain, stylish eye and beautiful sense of design. Thank you, Hanna! As you can see, it is much easier to navigate around these parts thanks to the navigation bar at the top and enhanced side bar to the right. You can browse my services, check out recent collaborations, shop my current favorites, and easily access all of my social media platforms – so much fun to be had, you guys. I really wanted S&S to have a logo/brand that could grow with the site and create a clean platform for the content, I really hope you enjoy it! Of course, it only seemed appropriate to pull out my new Red Valentino dress for the occasion, photographed along the Chicago River by the incredibly talented, Heather Talbert. The perfect party dress to celebrate S&S’s facelift.

I wanted to say a quick thank you for your readership and general support of this blog. These upgrades to S&S are all for you in hopes of continuing to grow this space into something special. These changes jumpstart a whole new kind of dream and I hope you continue to follow along for the ride. And, if you notice any issues, please don’t hesitate to email me {but please be patient, everything is trying to transfer to a new server}.
