reflecting on the biz

img_9651One year ago today, Juniper Lemons did its very first photoshoot.  For the shoot, I flew to Texas to meet up with my sister Aj and our mom Carol.  I was about 13 weeks pregnant with baby Denton, and my sister had 2 kids in tow.  We had no idea what we were doing, and if I’m being honest, we still don’t much of the time.  But we’re constantly learning, making new friends in the industry, and challenging ourselves.

Since that first photoshoot we’ve built a website, launched the Juniper Lemons boutique, popped our first Pop-Up Shop (with Shabby Apple!!), navigated state and federal business requirements and tax muck (ughhh…  yuck.), shopped markets, met with vendors, and so so soooo much more!

Some days it’s felt more like ‘work’ than I’d like, but overall I’m glad I started this adventure and I can’t wait to see where the next year takes us!

Stay tuned for new product launches coming soon!  We’ve got a photoshoot scheduled for November 4th — so be sure to follow our insta stories for some behind the scenes shots!  And we’ll be rolling out new items on the shop website soon after!

Sincerest thanks to all of you who read our blog, follow us on insta/facebook/twitter, and shop our store.  Your support means the world to us.

Manolo Blahnik:  The Art of Shoes is on exhibit through November 12, 2017 at Museum Kampa in Prague!  We’re in Czech for a couple weeks and when I saw a poster for the exhibit I simply had to go.

I have owned several pair of manolos over the years, but I had no idea that Manolo Blahnik’s dad was Czech!

The amount of time, energy, and craftsmanship that goes into designing and making the shoes is incredible.

And apparently I’ve been buying all the wrong manolos… the designer has a real passion for whimsy– and here I’ve been buying the practical wear-with-everything black  and nude versions!

My next pair will definitely be something a little more fun.

This exhibit spoke straight to my heart… 🙂

falling for sweaters (under $50!)

Fall is officially here, and I am soooo in the mood for some budget friendly sweaters.  I love love LOVE me some luxe cashmere, but as a new mom I’m learning that babies spit up… like a lot… a lot a lot.  :-/

Currently on a layover in Germany, I just survived my first flight with an infant (high 10 emoji!).  And I feel like I played paintball with puke pellets.  It’s in my hair, on my arm, my pants, and even my shoe.  Next time I’ll put a change of clothes in my carryon — including one (or two!) of these sweaters —

Under $50!?!!

ruffle pullover  |  yellow rib knit  |  chunky knit cardi

chunky sweater  |  criss cross sweater  |  fuzzy sweater

long way home  |  striped crew  |  cinch cuff pullover

pink cable knit  |  flounced knit  |   star knit

Happy shopping!

new favorite jeans!!!

Shopping for jeans has always been difficult for me.  Finding that right fit can be   so    effing   frustrating.    grrr…..

So when I do find a pair I love, there is much rejoicing!  And this week I discovered the AG Isabelle in the ‘8 years infamy’ wash, and they are going to be a staple in my fall wardrobe.

AG ISABELLE

  And you know what’s even better?  I happened to find them on sale here in my size! YAY!  And available directly from AG here.

These jeans are amazing because:  1.  they’re high-waist which is totally on trend right now,  2.  the crop length shoes off your shoes and can be worn with flats, heels, and everything in-between,  3. the placement of the butt pockets is high enough to prevent that droopy ass look,  4.  they have a slight stretch for a great fit, and 5.  the ‘8 years infamy’ has a little of the distressed look around the front pockets to be cool, but the finished hem and lack of knee holes keeps them classy enough for casual Friday at the office.

AHHHH!!! LOVE!!

If you do want more of a distressed look, the AG Isabelle also comes in the ’23 years wind worn’ wash and they are equally as incredible.

I may need these too 😉
