Meet the Newest IHOD Model: Sydney

November 19, 2010

I am beyond thrilled to introduce you to a new favorite blogger….just read one of her posts and you will see why. Her joy and humor shine through her writing and images, which is hard to accomplish as a blogger. Its kind of contagious! Take a close look at these images….
 
…I know, her outfits are killer! Also notice the accessories?! 😉 Sydney agreed to model a few of her favorite IHOD accessories….and I was so excited to collaborate with her! One of my favorite things about her- she is a modest fashion blogger – so her style is so feminine and fun.) She will be modeling some more pieces in the upcoming week. Follow along as this killer lookbook is created! 
 
The Daybook – Possibly the cutest blog on the block:)
 
*Enjoy your pre-thanksgiving weekend!! I can’t wait to plan the menu and table decor.

Well Done.

November 15, 2010


So happy to help spread the word about the project Well Done. Charity Water is a campaign that every person can relate to! All you need to do to get inspired is watch this video.  About a year ago, I posted this to support a friends campaign, and since then I have been following the incredible things Charity Water has accomplished.

Now, the blogger community is pulling together to spread the word about Lauren and Keely‘s initiative. They are oh so close to raising enough to fund a water well. Please consider helping. It only takes 5$.

We are asking you to trade 
a cup of coffee, a glass of wine, one happy hour,
…or whatever “your drink” may be.

For one day.

So that together, 
the blogging community 
can give 250 people a chance
to drink clean water.

For the rest of their lives.

To donate to the campaign, please visit here.

IHOD featured in Chicago Collections Magazine!

November 12, 2010

 
(Style Spreads by country)
 
“Our Trend department highlights the season’s must-have looks that can be achieved with key items found in Chicago stores.”
 
1) Alexander McQueen Fall 2010
2) Noelle Leone Collection Gladiator Ring
3) Bumble and Bumble Sumo Wax
4) In Honor of Design Hair Pins 
5) Deola Sagoe Aso-Oke Dress
 
Believe me, when I found out that one of my designs would be featured in the Trend Section of Chicago Collections Magazine, I was amazed. When I found out I would be on the same page as Alexander McQueen??! …I about fainted. To say this is humbling would be an understatement. I am so incredibly grateful for such an honor. 
 
How it happened: The “trend scout” for the magazine walked into Mr. & Mrs. Boutique in Chicago, where IHOD accessories are sold. She eyed the hair pins, snapped some shots, and decided they would be featured in the next issue! So, I owe a HIGE thank you to Emily, the manager of the fabulous boutique. (If you are in Chicago, check it out!!) Needless to say, the hair pins started to fly off the shelves. How fun! So now, I continue to dream big, and ask God to bless the small efforts and time I have for this business. He continues to amaze me…
 
Happy Friday everyone! Please consider submitting your items for the Handmade Holiday Gift Guide!
