Made-to-Travel: The Silhouette of a Woman Fashion Show

Today I have the very great pleasure of writing at made-to-travel, the joyful and always-fascinating blog by my lovely friend Jamillah – a blogger gal I was fortunate enough to meet in person last September, but we somehow missed the opportunity to get a picture together. (That makes me sad, J; we’ll have to make a priority of that next time!) I count Jamillah and made-to-travel among the many blessings I’ve been given in my last two years as a fashion blogger. Not only does she have a fun way of pulling the reader into her writing, but Jamillah manages to fuse fashion and ethical living in a way that’s relevant, educating and never intimidating. If you’ve never read made-to-travel I encourage you to go check out some of her past articles, as well as the medley of guest posts from other wonderful bloggers who’ve been contributing while Jamillah’s been away. (She also has a giveaway going on so be sure to check that out, too!)

KP Fushion: Behind the Blog: The Girl Who Stole the Eiffel Tower

Also something I didn’t get the chance to mention before, the wonderful Kimmie at KP Fushion kindly invited me to be featured as part of her “Behind the blog” series – I was honored, of course, and I’m thrilled to be alongside such stylish favorites as The Citizen Rosebud and Vogue & Coffee! You can check out all the other features in the Behind the Blog series right here. Enjoy!

Today I’m thrilled to be partnering with Lolly Clothing for a special event here at The Girl Who Stole the Eiffel Tower. We’re warming you up for spring with a scarf celebration! What’s more fun (and more accurate to this blogger’s wardrobe) than scarves that are versatile, chic and excellently crafted? Above I’m wearing Lolly’s Silk Pashmina Scarf in a decadent mustard and pale yellow wash. It’s perfectly luxurious, so soft and cozy. I love that it offers plenty of warmth wrapped around your neck for those colder days of spring, but it transitions easily into warmer weather with its color and versatility.

Take a look…




One scarf, unlimited possibilities. The scarf’s unique wash is done by hand, making it a truly original piece. I love the idea of pairing it with all black as a statement piece, or letting it accent some of the other golden tones in your wardrobe. You can easily bunch the scarf up for warmth or let it loose for a softer effect; I have a lot of scarves that are better suited for one way over the other, but this one just manages to transform so easily. Light and silky, it feels almost too marvelous to be true. And it’s undeniably chic.

Speaking of chic, let’s talk about Lolly…


CROCHET BACK DRESS | SLASH SLEEVE TUNIC | PONCHO TEE | BUTTON DOWN PEASANT SHIRT

Lolly’s aesthetic is that of a revolutionary bohemian glamour. Earthy and sleek, the brand combines city grit with natural beauty to create a look for the drifter in all of us. I love the feminine strength in their designs. Every piece radiates this remarkable concept of wearing empowerment; they’re unique, adventurous and bold, like the spirit of every woman who wears them. In addition to creating such striking clothing, Lolly has a sub-brand affectionately called Obvious by Lolly, which boasts accessories as eye-catching and statement-making as the clothes they pair so well with. The Lolly brand also gives back to the creative industry by donating a portion of their seasonal profits to Aid to Artisans, an organization which gives artisans who may be in limited circumstances an opportunity to connect with new and exciting markets.

In addition to sending me the silk pashmina scarf for review Lolly also sent along their Gauze Fringe Scarf for one lucky reader! Crafted of 100% cotton gauze, the scarf has a gorgeous slinky quality about it and the scattered animal spots add a fabulous touch of daring. The colors – rich tans mixed with pops of blue, gold and red – are universally flattering and add to the unique bohemian aesthetic that’s so prominent in the Lolly brand.

Todat I’m thrilled to be writing about blog design in a guest post on Beautifully Invisible! I’ve been wanting to share some of my thoughts on the subject for a while – from what makes a great blog design to how it can be achieved on any budget – but I made the decision to no longer include blog-related articles in my content on The Girl Who Stole the Eiffel Tower, so while my thoughts on this post had been formulating I didn’t know quite what I’d do with the result. I’m so thankful to B for allowing me Beautifully Invisible as an outlet!
