Just wanted to get on here and post a couple of sneak peek shots real quick for ya. These are two new AGD designs that are being introduced as part of the Fall o9' collection. I hope to get the full sets photographed and ready for production in the next week or so. Once I do, I'll post the new images of them here as usual. It's been a while since I've last designed anything new. Therefore, I know you ladies are itchin' for some new goods. The Fall collection is sure to be a hit. Very hippy - very vintage - very 70's - very "let's throw down the peace sign" kinda' look. Ha ha! Just my kind of style. LOVE it!
I also just wanted to torture you all a bit with the "only get to see a square patch of the whole outfit" kinda' photo because I know how much you all just L-O-V-E the sneak peek shots, right? Ha ha! Can you tell it's my birthday today and I'm just being as ornery as all get out? Oh you know it! Yes, I'm celebrating the big 3-4 today. This year is a bit depressing given all of the recent medical issues - it just confirms that life is progressing and I'm aging. (even though my Dad did call this morning and reminded me that my heart problems have nothing to do with my aging) Ha ha! Thanks Dad! I can always count on you for a pep talk!
So for now...we are headed out the door to downtown Naples. We are hitting 5th avenue South for a bit of lunch outside today and maybe a big, fat, chocolate souffle ala mode' to top off the celebration. Then, its a wee bit of "birfday" shopping to help smother the depression of turning the big 3-4. I got my incredibly awesome birthday gift a month early from Brent and the kids this year so not a ton of shopping today. Just enough to call it a "gift to myself" kinda' day. Ya know? My parents gave me their gift last month as well before I ever left for Florida. Mom gave me her gifts when she was here with us a couple of weeks ago. And my mother and father in law gave me their birthday gift on Thursday as soon as they arrived. I'll be posting photos of that one soon. They got me the most kickin' handbag EVAH! I love it! You ladies must see it in case you want to go get one for yourselves. All of you animal print lovers will definitely go into convulsions over it. Such a cool bag! Thanks Deb & Ron!
In the meantime, enjoy your weekend and get outside. Summer is here my friends. This is the time of our lives. It's what we waited all winter long for. xoxoxo, Angie (a.k.a. The "birfday" girl!)
PS...Thank you so much to all of you who are pouring in the birthday wishes to me on facebook today. My cell is dinging like crazy as each one of you leave your birthday messages today. It sure does make this 34 year old girl feel good! :)
We are calling this one "Vintage Love." Why? Well, when I look at the design and try to describe what it reminds me of, I think of "vintage." The bell bottom - wide leg pants, the bell sleeves and wrap around tie top, etc. It all looks like the best of the old days to me.
The best thing about this set is that it is so versatile. The top can be worn with jeans and look just as cute. I envision it in the spring and summer with a white pair of capri's and some cute little red sandles. The pants can be paired with a solid turtleneck or tee when you want to down play the funk. Either way, you can't go wrong with this new little number.
The bottom hem of the top flairs out as well and gives off a ruffled feel of sorts.
There are an amazing and very stunning 5 different fabric pallots in this design. It's a design that is timely to create but one that is so worth the time demanded in its making and thus exudes style from every angle. Your little one will definitely be the talk of the town in this set.
Available in sizes 2-6 years.
The mod pockets on the pants are my favorite. What better way to give off a funky vintage feel than with polka dot mod pockets. Can someone say "Trendsetter?"
To purchase this set, click HERE. In the meantime, thanks for peeking and allowing us to share this new design with each of you.
Interested in this set? If so, click HERE to purchase one. Available in sizes 18 months thru 8 years. Jeans and dress top come with the set. Light pink tee and shoes not included. Cute "lovable" set for all year round. Dress top would also go great with a pair of pink or white shorts or capri pants for spring and summer seasons.
Here is AGD's 2nd sneak peek set of the week. Yes, I know it's torture. I receive all kinds of emails telling me how much you guys 'detest' when I post only sneak peek pictures rather than full body modeled images of my new designs. I know you'd prefer I just cut thru the labor and get to the birth (as Brent always says), but this is a process for me. I'm very picky about the images I take when showcasing a new design. Therefore, I always aim to find a day outside when I can get Kenidi out and about while having her model the set for me to the best of her ability. However, although that is my mission, these two particular sets are giving me fits because I have no weather to do such shooting in. It is another -5 degree day here in Indiana today but we are hunkered down inside enjoying a school day that has been cancelled. YAY! Kenidi is here but napping at the moment. I'm hoping to get her awake and moving later on in an effort to take some shots of these sets today, in our dining room mind you. Ha ha! I have no other option and I must get these listed in time to sell and make before V-Day, although they can be worn long after that too. So...stay tuned...the REAL images are coming. I promise!
On another note, I had a client/customer and dear blog friend of mine order this Canyon View Cross necklace from me this week. The original design was outfitted with a different cross. However, due to the mad Christmas rush and you all wiping me out of supplies (which is a good thing), I had to find a new cross design for this necklace. Might I just say that I love, love, love the new look. I changed up the cross, toggle, and pearl coloring just a bit to give off a funky, edgey, trendy, and oh so grungy kind of look. This piece goes with anything in your wardrobe and I do mean ANYTHING! Needless to say, I will be making a new version of this piece for myself all over again. And the even cooler thing about this new cross, that back of it has "HAVE FAITH" inscribed into the silver. ROCK ON! Gotta' love that!
If you are interested in purchasing one of these necklaces before they are all gone and I can't do anymore, go to AGD's boutique website and purchase one right now. You can find the direct link HERE. Until then, enjoy your Friday. Talk again soon...
P.S. Thank you to all of you who emailed me privately, hit me up on facebook, or who left comments here on the blog giving us well wishes for Kenidi's neurology appt. yesterday. For those of you lucky dogs who friend requested me on facebook, you get all of the inside scoop on what is going on in our lives before my blog readers even do now. Aren't you feeling special? Ha ha! And yes...when you FB'ers all got wind that we were at Riley yesterday for a routine appt., you came out of the woodwork to wish us well over there on "Crackbook." Oops...I mean "facebook." Ha ha! In the end, it was a decent appointment with minimal new news. Her neurologist upped her medication in an effort to try and knock out the 2-3 break thru seizures we still notice her having on a daily basis. (the eye rolling seizures that last all of 5 seconds) I hit the doc up with some major questions yesterday regarding epilepsy, John Travolta's sons incident, the whys, the "could that happen?" questions, and so on. As I told my step-Mom, I left the appointment with crude answers but answers that were real and truthful. It deflated a bit of the wind in my sails but I know without a shadow of a doubt that God has Kenidi wrapped tightly in his arms every second of every day that she is here on this earth. Do I worry that we'll never get the seizures totally under control and that she'll never get a drivers license because of it? Yes. Do I worry that she'll be an adult and have to be carefully monitored because of the type seizures she has and the proven statistic that they follow you into adult hood, Yes! Do I just plain & simply worry? Yes! I worry. However, when I catch myself doing it...I immediately pray and tell God that I'm turning the worry all over to him and that she is his problem. I tell him that I am confident his promises for her here on this earth will ring true and that he will do incredible things with her life as a child as well as when she is a grey haired old woman. God is good! And he never wastes pain! Although I feel that I'm in one of those years where I have asked, I know her years to come will be years that he answers.
Thank you to all of you who care for Kenidi as if you genuinely know her. I can't wait to show her the things you guys have done for her and said to or about her as she gets older and can understand your compassion and support. I've got the best blog readers EVAH and now I have the best "CRACKBOOK" friends EVAH too! HA HA! Much love lovahs'...
