I’m a Pisces, so it’s always fish girl summer. I immediately loved the combs in the mood board, and then you went ahead and posted all the other fish things. Beautiful!

Loved the mood board! Anything fish themed is always a good idea. Is it mood board summer?

OMG, ALI. I’m so obsessed with this moodboard. You know we share a great love of Donni, so this was so fun to see! I loved how you styled the organza!

Two things regarding fish girl summer. One, I have that fish pitcher too (after seeing at a hotel I stayed at) and it’s so fun on a dinner party table. I love it so much! And two, you need to add this chip clip to your list of fish merch ASAP! https://www.bostongeneralstore.com/products/handmade-steel-fish-clip

Okay well now I have to order 100 fish clips because I can’t just have one. I need a school of them.

So beautiful!! As a fellow moodboard-maker and lover of all things print… I gotta know what color printer you’re using for these babies!!

I send them to print at Office Max around the corner! My printer broke not too long ago and until I find the emotional strength to find a new one that is my solve :)

So many good links! The fish juicer is coming home and I think I need some organza in my closet.

I just booked a trip to Portofino as an add-on to my trip to Rome and Tuscany and this is definitely getting me in the mood. 🐟
