Keeping the Warehouse Fashionable

It's Elaine and Jenna, at Credit River Granite right here in Burnsville. I noticed Jenna's sparkly beaded pocket on her T shirt the minute I saw her...she works in the granite warehouse helping select granite pieces. See? you can be stylish even in a warehouse. And of course, there's Elaine in her animal print, always looking stylish too!

Second post capturing style in the Twin Cities. We may not have an ocean anywhere near us, nor a European address, but we've still got style, and I'm going to be showing it to you...fashion and design, that's what this is about. And hopefully, inspiration. All ways to add joy to your life.

I saw this fashionista in Rubble Tile Shop, I was not bold enough to ask if I could take her photo! I have to get better at that. She was very cute in the leggings and long sweater, just out looking for new tile. What would you think if I tapped you on the shoulder and said, "you look so cute, may I take your photo for my blog?" I'm going to be bold and try it. Stay tuned for what responses I get!

Design On The Streets


With a nod to the blog, "The Sartorialist," I begin a new inspiration for this design blog: "On the Street." Check out The Sartorialist, I think you'll love it too, and hopefully be inspired. I have to add, however, that great design, beauty, color, etc...is not limited to the streets of London and/or Paris. Great design knows no boundaries! You can actually find it right here on the streets of the Twin Cities! I will post what I find, and I would love your comments. I was alerted to this woman by my friend and fellow designer, Holly, who also showed me "The Sartorialist," so, many thanks Holly. I will be out and about this afternoon, so stay tuned for the great design I find in Bloomington, Burnsville, and Apple Valley. I will be checking in for your comments!
