Parents & the City - Blog Design

Well guys, It's finally here! The design of Parents & the City is finished and live. This blog design has taught me so much. Mainly that I need to try out wordpress before designing the blog, oops! But it's been one of the most fun projects I've done in a long time.

Since I'm passionate about bright and colourful patterns, I was stoked when Diana gave me free reign to design a New York and baby themed pattern! I was even more excited when she wanted to have a statue of liberty themed logo. Baby Liberty is definitely one of my fav things about this design.

You can find my work in progress on this design here, here and here.

If you would to contact me about blog, logo or pattern design email me at ponychopsshop @ gmail . com

Here's some more details of the new design:

Introducing Katie

I want to introduce you all to the wonderful Katie from Coeurs De Foxes, one of my large sponsors this month. I've been a fan of Katie's blog for a while now. She's one of the sweetest people ever and her blog is full of wonderful outfit posts and creative and fashion ideas! Plus, her cat looks like Tofu's twin!

I'm Katie. 21 years old girl from Poland. Half polish half german girl living in her own world. I love fashion, music and nature. These three things are very important for me. I'm about opening my own business very soon which is conected with fashion industry and honestly can't wait to open this.
My blog is my whole world. It's very close to my heart. It's about fashion and I write posts in form of diary so you can read what happened last days. I guess, you can't describe my style by one world. I wear many random clothes :). I post on my blog my outfit, DIY, reviews from fashion shows, my lomography photos and many, many more.

Well hello there. To be grammatically correct, as I generally am, I'm Em. But I prefer it with a lower case 'e'. I describe myself as being quite possibly a dinosaur made up of several cupcakes taped together, painted blue, & sprinkled with glitter. Bitch.  

I am a baker, a crafter, an iPhone-Photographer. An occassional jewellery maker, plastic dinosaur collector & Blogger.

Hi, I'm Sammy and I have a mass of curly hair :)

I am currently starting a new chapter of my life as a fashion and textiles student on the hills of Wiltshire, England. I am living with my soon to be husband, Ben where I am starting to get to grips with student life. I am originally from a sleepy seaside town in Somerset where I was living in my little comfort zone but decided I wanted to get my butt in gear and start my dream of getting in the textile industry. I blog over at The Cookie Button where you will usually find me rambling on about my day to day life and pursuing my hobby - crafting.
