I consider Megan Nielson a dear, online friend and amazing designer and seamstress! If you browser her shop you'll see she has talent that it original and well executed. You can purchase items from her current line or browse sample sales and one of a kind items. In addition to sifting through her pieces, you can also peek into her life through her blog! She is incredibly sweet and I adore her! 

Below are a few of my favorite items from her shop! Check out these pieces and then head over to her online shop - I promise you'll find something you love!

Sponsor Spotlight: Smashion

One of my most recent sponsors is Smashion! 

Smashion® \'sma-shən\ noun. A social fashion commerce site where you can mix & match new and pre-loved fashion items to create individual looks.

This fashion marketplace is eco-friendly and encourages the recycling of gently-worn, pre-loved clothing. So basically it's an online Plato's Closet or Goodwill, but the benefits are much greater in that you can hop over to their site (instead of driving to the stores) to browse all the items in a more organized fashion (instead of sifting through the racks). Get it?

The site also includes a Smashion Lounge where you can discover new blogs and read interviews (here's mine from back in January) . Additionally there is a Forums section where you can join in on the conversation or start your own. The site hosts many resources for you to browse or become a part of! 

Here are a couple items I've been staring at:

Tiffany & Co. Bow Pendant Necklace

Vintage Kate Spade Carol Handbag

Tibi Silk Dress in Burnt Orange

Smashion is also currently hosting a giveaway over on their Facebook Page - the more "likes" they receive, the bigger the prize! So visit their page and enter the contest! 

Sponsor Spotlight: Modcloth

Modcloth is the perfect place for all of your retro and vintage inspired needs! It's also perfect for all of the neon and neutral needs I have been craving recently. I don't know what it is, but this trend of neon and neutral has me obsessed. So here are a few of my favorite pieces to meet those needs!

Neutral Shift Dress, Guest Roomy Bag, Kickball Wizard Top, Sherbet Punch Sandal

Squeak Heel, Tidal Crave Necklace, Just Bright Skirt in Sunray

Some of my favorites online right now are:

This Little Black Dress! How adorable? I know the emphasis is usually on "the" LBD, but I think you can't have too many LBDs! This one is perfect all year long (you know me and my love for versatility)! You can throw on some sandals and a turquoise pendant in the summer OR layer on a jacket, colored tights, and boots in the fall - perfect! 

Pleated Neck Belted Dress

I love floral prints, but if you take a look in my closet, you'd see very few floral pieces - it's really a shame now that I think about it. Anyway, I'd love to add this gorgeous, floral blouse to my closet. The colors are spectacular, the ribbon trim is so unique, and I love the tie at the waist!

Ribbon Trim Peplum Blouson

I love a fitted jacket. I love ruffles. I love the Olive color. Obviously this jacket makes me drool. How adorable? Perfect over a fitted, white tee or over a little back dress (scroll up if you've already forgotten).

Ruffle Trim Jacket

Sponsor Love

 Starting last month I made the announcement that I was accepting sponsorship. Since then, I've had the pleasure of adding on five sponsors. I wanted to take a little bit of time and introduce you to their loveliness.

Apothica

I've mentioned Apothica before, but I love makeup and they carry so much, so it's worth talking about again! It's  mostly an online store (although they do have a physical store in Salt Lake City) that carries tons of makeup and beauty brands you're most likely familiar with - Nars, Smashbox, Chanel, and Bobbi Brown. Aside from makeup, they also carry candles, fragrances, hair care, skin care, and men's products. So be sure to check them out next time you're itching to buy some beauty products.

ModCloth

Maybe you've heard of ModCloth, maybe you haven't? If not, let me fill you in! They are an online retailer specializing in vintage and retro clothing, accessories, and decor. I've been a lover of their site for a couple years now! I remember being in grad school and sometimes putting off studying just to browse their gorgeous dresses. The thing I love about the site is that yes, the pieces are vintage and retro inspired, but really they can work for anyone! The variety of items is endless! 

Megan Nielson

A sweet friend and lovely clothing designer. Megan makes some of the most darling clothes I've seen. Her pieces are feminine, colorful, and well-made. She makes a variety of pieces from tanks and skirts to coats and cardigans! She is currently in the process of finishing up her Spring 2011 line - so be sure to stick around for that! I know once she shares it with all of us it won't be long before everything is gone! If you want to keep up with Megan, see where she gets her inspiration, or see what she's wearing hop over to her blog.

Lady M

Lady M is run by the fabulous Monique. She is a college student that has a love for dressing up. Her blog is a place for her to share not only her personal style, but other fashion bloggers and her love for clothes and fashion in general. I personally enjoy her Splurge or Save and her Copy This Look posts. Hope over to Monique's blog and get to browsing around!

And She Loved

And She Loved is another daily read of mine. It's run by another sweet friend of mine, Sarah. Sarah is from VA, but is currently in school in TX (what a move!). When she isn't diving into Neuro books and writing up research reports, she is sharing bits and pieces of her life on And She Loved. She shares daily outfits, how to tutorials, and DIY projects. Be sure to visit her blog and follow along!
