My good friend Kearsley has been introduced on my blog before as the owner and creative mind behind Tipsy Skipper. But I’m even more excited to share her most recent endeavor: custom monograms through Kearsley Lloyd Designs.
Kearsley is incredibly talented and I love what she’s decided to do with her talent. The custom monograms she creates are so personal and can be used in a million different ways. The process might be my favorite. She sketches and then watercolors each monogram by hand. From there she creates digital renderings of the monogram that can be used for anything. Weddings, iPhone cases, embroidery on Tipsy Skipper bags, personal stationery, birthday parties, company branding…. etc. (Think of the cute logos she could do for blogs!)
She made a monogram for me and when I opened the PDF with the samples I nearly died. She picked a photo of me from my blog and used that as inspiration for the creation of the monogram.
Above are the sketches she started with! And below is the final watercolored monogram. How perfect?!?!
I just love how she takes the watercolor and turns it into a digital file that can be used anywhere. Here are some samples of things I can then do with the monogram:
Love these! I love that first water color one with the pink and turquoise as well as the original water color one that looks like a crest almost. Either of those would be perfect on that canvas tote.
Pretty obsessed with these and I already emailed her about creating my own! I've been looking for something unique for my new business cards and thank you Carly because this is it!!
I was so excited that @MyMyrtleBeach invited me to come play pickleball with them! I am obsessed with pickleball and had a blast playing at City Pickle, right here in NYC. We brushed up on the rules, practiced some dinking, and got to play a few rounds of the game– it was the perfect way to spend the day because everyone plays at the beach! #ad
I loved watching The Parent Trap growing up and still do to this day. It is one of my go-to comfort movies… There’s so much I love about it: the cast, the soundtrack, and (of course!) the wardrobe. We all have a little Annie James and a little Hallie Parker in us! I’ve always been drawn to Annie’s style, but love the carefree nature of Hallie’s. #parenttrap @nmeyers #tuckernucking

Wearing vs styling an outfit with a bump! I feel so much better when I’m wearing something cute (dress well to feel well maybe?)… I’ve been fighting the temptation to wear comfy clothes while pregnant though! So far I have found blazers and cardigans an easy way to dress up my second trimester bump, especially as we enter fall.
Apple picking throughout the years 🍎 I can’t wait to go this year. It’s one of my favorite fall activities to do… I don’t even care that it’s usually expensive and crowded and basic, I live for it!
Fall for me means tailored blazers, touches of corduroy, and cozy sweaters… @jcrew, as always, has us covered with all the classics! Shop my head to toe look with @shop.ltk #liketkit https://liketk.it/4iOR7 #injcrew #ad
