out of the blue

It's the color of the sea, sky, and our
favorite jeans...this spring and summer, we
are seeing it absolutely
everywhere.
Which is just fine with
O N E
G I R L.

Here are 6 ways to wear and live with it well.



1.
s t r i p e s
Blue and white stripes have been
around forever and are not going
anywhere.

2.
f u r n i t u r e
Blue works as a neutral for furnishings as well.
(HA!)

h i g h  f a s h i o n
I'm loving how we can get away with distressed
jeans with anything and still be fashionable.



So many shades of flirty blue.

We interrupt this blog post with
a reminder that all the cool kids
are wearing their jackets around their
shoulders like this.

Lovin this juicy flavor of raspberry blue.

Can you imagine art without
blue paint????

5. 
b r i g h t  c o b a l t
It looks especially awesome
on blondes, when it pops.

6.
i s l a n d  c h i c
Just TRY to tell me blue is not a powerful hue.

Love!

 


 Do you agree?
Isn't blue the most relaxing, dreamy, friendly
color in the universe?

Drop by
One Girl
soon
to
compare notes
about
blue.

And don't forget to join us for a girl's night
out this Thursday at 6:00!



Peace.

for the mamas

Being a mom is

having your heart

cracked wide open.

It is to never again sleep soundly

or wonder what it means to be

sick with worry.

It is the sweetest sorrow I know.

Also the deepest joy.

One Girl celebrates you today, mamas.

We stand with you in all the challenges

and triumphs you meet on your journey.

Thank you for all those little things you do

that no one ever acknowledges.

Those things are not small things.

They have always mattered.

Thank you for believing.

For seeing the good.

Because of you,

we know what it means

to feel cherished.

Thanks, moms.

let your heart be light

...because even if you don't know it fully

at this moment, you are loved

and

never alone.

...because we are all fighting a battle

and

extra patience,

extra kindness,

and extra sensitivity

make a difference

and

matter.

...because it looks good on you,

you with the dreams

and the hope

for things

unseen.

...because you are completely unique,

and there is no limit to your

potential and crazywild

ability to see things

differently.

...because dark and moody hearts

are so five years ago.

...because when you focus on what is right and good,

more good, and more right

will come back to you.

I wish you lovely spring days

of lightness, friends.

Drop by the shop

and see what's

making my

own heart

beat

faster.

Mark your calendars:

magic happens

Say what you will about trends and fashion which
may come and go, but wanna know what
O N E  G I R L
loves about it?



Expressing yourself with fashion is an artistic exercise in FUN.




The rules and 'you can't do thats' cropping up in daily life
sort of get balanced out when you can wear roses,
a braided headband, and two-tone lip color.

You're such a renegade, you!



And here's the kicker:
nobody gets hurt.
In fact, on a good day when your personal
style choices engage someone else
and the two of you get to chatting...



Things could PING!
They could perhaps PONG!
Fuchsia pink bougainvillea could suddenly
burst into bloom all around you.
Just because.
Of that sweater. With those shorts.




It seems to One Girl,
'Fake it till you make it' 
applies big time
to fashion
because let's face it:
you're not always
in a great mood
when it's time to
get dressed
to face the day.




Clothing and accessories work voodoo with moods though!
You start out faking, but before you know it,
you are MAKING.
And MAKING is good.
MAKING looks nice on you.



I know, I know, again with the braidlicious boho hair.
Isn't it swell?
And isn't the lip color just crazybeautiful and maybe even
m  a  g  i  c?

It is almost May, and do you think it's just
a coincidence that the month begins with the same
letter as
the M word?



'Cause ONE GIRL doesn't.
You have the power to make May magical.
Not by passively watching it slip into June.
But by embracing it with every positive
fiber in your being.



That's when the magic will come.
Your outfits will encourage the magic.
Your self-confidence will invite more magic.
At the very least, when your clothes make you
feel cute, you are likely to cast a spell.






Happy spring and pre-summer, friends!
We hope you will push yourselves
to discover all of the magic
within and allow
ONE GIRL
to ride the wave with you.

Peace.
