The Fanny Pack Is Back....

Does anybody remember when fanny packs were the must have accessory back in the day. We thought we were the coolest kids on the block due to a small little pouch that strapped around our waist. We would carry virtually everything in the house in that fanny pack and didn't need at least 90% of it. Then the day you saw your grandparents in matching ones headed to the family picnic was the day the fanny pack died. At least that's how it all went down for me. Well the Fanny Pack has reemerged with new life and I'm loving the new style and playfulness of the revamped fanny pack. Now if you know me, you know I am in the process of making one of my very own. These new fanny packs have inspired a new look for my morning hikes.

Closet Saver..... Shoe Bags Edition.

Ladies, Ladies, Ladies, let me introduce you to the best thing that has happened to my closet. Hello shoe bags, how are you and why did it take me so long to bring you into my world. This shoe bag is my take on a shoe organizational tip my mom gave me a long time ago. As a kid my mother made me organize her shoes every weekend in the summer to earn money for back to school shopping. I truly thank her, in the end it instilled a sense of responsibility in me I would not appreciate until later on in life. But any way my mom had these clear shoe boxes that had a Polaroid picture of the shoes that were to go into that box on the exterior. Seemingly making my job a bit easier, but she had what felt like close to a million pairs of shoes. I decided to make these bags for myself with the thought of my mom's old closet in the back of my head. BEST thing that's happen to my closet thus far. These bags are available for purchase, they are custom make to size and customer style. Shoot me a quick email at mydesign80@gmail.com for more details or if your in the area this weekend stop bye the Home Fabrics & Rugs craft fair in Torrance where I will also have them for sale.
