When Julia Mason reached out to me to collaborate, I was thrilled!  We met a while ago at another pop up event. As young entrepreneurs, we have a lot in common & I’ve loved her work for awhile.  

When I moved from my old house to my current house, I had her do a custom piece of a picture of my first house as a surprise for my husband. It’s amazing and we love it and show it proudly on our wall! 

Julia’s studio sits near 20th & Leavenworth and is as adorable as she is. I snapped a few shots and if you are near the area (or not even close - worth the drive) message her to stop in. She is open by appointment only and has the cutest local, neighborhood prints, canvas totes, tea towels & beyond. It’s perfect gift items and or just to add to your own place. 

This is her first Lincoln piece that she has done and wanted to collab with hello ruby on the shirts! She sent the print over and I was in love. The shirt includes Home & Closet, The Stadium {of course!!}, the Capitol, Prescott Ave., the University & more. We got them printed through a local printer that I always use, Ink Alley, and are thrilled with the detail and how they came out. 

Take a look at Julia's Studio & our shoot for the shirt! PS: would you like to see other shirts? OMAHA, EHH??

Hello---

I posted awhile back about our #1 gal's health issues and wanted to share with everyone who has been asking about the progress of Ruby.

Here's the quick recap:

-Mid-August, we took Ruby to the vet for lethargic activity and she seemed to be in pain. She was released on an upset stomach but an hour after getting home she could not walk.

-Took Ruby to the ER + they told us she was paralyzed and we should go to a board certified Neurologist to do the surgery. She was diagnosed with IVDD {Intrervertebral Disc Disease} 

-Because it was on a weekend we couldn't find anyone to do the surgery in Nebraska, Kansas, or Iowa so we had to head to Columbia, MO for surgery. The surgery went well; however she had multiple infections and was diagnosed {and later dismissed} with diabetes. 

-Her recovery was {and still is} taking longer than expected because of those complications. We got her back to home to Omaha and Ruby seemed to be doing much better as time progressed. She is standing on her legs for up to a minute and she can walk if we assist her with a sling.

-Because her infections are FINALLY clear after over a month, we started her on Physical Therapy today with Laser Therapy {seems scammy to me? lol but apparently it works} and Hydrotherapy starts next week. She'll swim in a pool to help take the pressure of her own weight off! We are excited to see that because she loves to swim!

-We are elated at the progress Ruby has had in the past couple weeks. We are hoping that this can boost her to finally take steps and get back to herself. If you want to see more, I have been documenting Ruby's Recovery on my personal IG handle @areyoujillous. 

-If you're #ROOTINGFORRUBY, feel free to use that code and take 20% off your entire purchase if it's over $50 -- it's good through 10/11 at 11:59pm.

xo,

GO PLAY! {Ruby still is, don't worry}

Vegas for a bachelorette party --> AMAZING

Vegas for a buying market --> EQUALLY AMAZING

They are so different but both are so great! This was my third market at Magic in Las Vegas. It is two times a year in February and August. This time my friend Jenna came with me {she came the first time} and we had a blast. We went a bit early for the full Vegas sha-bang. Gambling, pool clubs and booze. So much fun. The best thing is the time difference - you can wake up early and it's so easy because it's two hours ahead of time. 8am mimosas/bloody marys - that's normal right?

And of course, we had to visit the classic Vegas sign {with champs in hand}

Then we took pics of each other like normal extra 20 somethings do.

Ok, then we got to work. Market is SO HUGE, SO BUSY and there are a ton of pretty people! It is at the Las Vegas Convention Center and you get on one of what seems to be 100 buses that herd you to the show! It's so fun to see other boutique owners and their styles from all over the country and world! There are hundreds of vendors all lined up in the show area. Their booths can be so intricate and most of them set-up for days prior and have a whole crew to do so. 

Magic brings the largest selection of women's apparel and accessories in the industry. The latest women’s and juniors’ trends, the most-wanted brands and the hottest emerging designers. It’s complete with upbeat music {HOLLA JOJO}, undeniable beauty, and of course, style. We did however, miss James Kennedy from Vanderpump rules. {Click here from our last run-in}.

Here are our top picks:

1. Sneak Peek Denim | Coming in starting September through December --> We got light, dark denim + black/grey denim. We also got distressed jeans and super stretchy comfy fitted denim.

 2. Chunky sweaters with a twist --> arriving now through December. Ivory and white was definitely one of the major colors we saw. Big prints + large details are everything.



3. Dark denim jacket --> Distressed + raw hem

We have a TON more inventory coming, but the pictures are a cluster and not blog worthy Hehe. We can't wait to get these items in and style them! If ya'll want something, holler at your girl.

Go play! {We did a LOT of that this week}
