Art Project: Postcard Journals

I have been collecting postcards since I was in second grade.

I keep them in an old Lisa Frank pencil box in the back of my closet.

Over the years I've accumulated an quite interesting assortment - including one from Paris sent by my German pen pal Yoschi, several from Hawaii vacations taken by Auntie Mame, and one from Honduras sent by one of my best friends in second grade Megan Finnerty.

Every three years or so, when I decided to clean out my closet, I find this curious box filled with my postcards, and I always wish that I had a way to enjoy them more often.

Yesterday, Design*Sponge the had the best project: Postcard Journals!

What a brilliant idea!

They're super simple to make and look beautiful.

Now I can turn some of my favorite postcards into journals for myself or make some pretty sweet gifts for friends and family members.

Is a Maxi a MuuMuu?

I hope blog post numero dos doesn't disappoint my very loyal and vocal readers. Bear with me until we get this thing going a bit...Mia Moda will have its own VOICE!


Recent Ponder:

I absolutely LOVE my maxi dress. (Elegance made casual...anyone?Anyone?) It's literally the only thing I feel like wearing. It's cool, it's comfortable, and it's simple.

The trick is to start wearing it over the weekend. Be sure to socialize with DIFFERENT people on Saturday and Sunday. Then you can wear it again Monday at work. hehehe...the only person who will know your secret is a very loving boyfriend who doesn't seem too perturbed by it :-)

I used to do this in college.
Who knew it would also work in post-bacchalorete life?

This little dress is a daily topic of conversation in the office - how much we enjoy wearing this long, luxurious, cotton dress. I have even been trying to convince my male co-worker that he should wear one...remember Claude, the scooba instructor in "Along Came Polly?" He sexily sported one of these babies...

My one hindrance is this: is my beloved Maxi dress really just a glorified Muumuu? You will have to decide for yourself.

So point being, you can't go through summer without getting one of these dresses.

You will not regret it...

Yes, this mean you too Jessica Thacher. Break down and go buy one.
