GDO Logo tops have arrived just in time for Fall!

You should have seen me tear into the package that arrived today, knowing what was inside. I've been working with an amazing company over the past several months to incorporate my logo into comfortable shirts for little girls and women of all sizes. This season, I've chosen to have the GDO logo printed on a chocolate brown cotton top. It is perfect for Fall and looks great with any of the designs from our Foliage Collection.

Coming soon... We have lined up a professional photoshoot to capture the Foliage Collection with some great accessories from other Independent designers. For those customers who have requested the logo tops, please convo me or check them out on ETSY. I will offer 20% off if you mention my blog at checkout.

By Demand ~ The 2008 HOLIDAY design is here!

I was hoping to get through Halloween before presenting the Holiday skirt. But, just couldn't resist. I love the playful pattern and the vibrant colors of this design. Fun orange oranaments on a rich red background and the lime green snowflake print are an unexpected combination with the vintage style apron. As I continue to strive to keep my designs unique, I look forward to outfitting little girls with GDO designs across the globe. There is nothing more rewarding than that.

And it keeps getting better! GDO in Beverly Hills

This year celebrates the third annual Celebration of Babies for the March of Dimes in Beverly Hills, CA. Celebrities and other attendees will have the opportunity to shop prior to the luncheon. I am thrilled that Girls Day Out designs have been selected amongst other high end boutique brands. I have a lot of work ahead of me to prepare for this event. But, it is a wonderful cause that I strongly believe in and want to support. 10% of sales will go to March of Dimes. Melissa Joan Hart is behind the connection to this invite. I am so excited to see what other celebrities choose GDO to be a part of their children's wardrobe this year.

The Economy slows down, Girls Day Out picks up - now on AMAZON.com

Yes, it's true! Amazon.com is now carrying Girls Day Out designs. An amazing opportunity for a small town girl with a bigtime dream. I've learned with the offers coming my way all at once, that I can handle it - nothing will hold me back. This is an achievement that I never imagined when this business began for me five years ago. It gets better every day. With a struggling economy, it didn't seem very promising for us this year. But, orders are at levels that keep me home more than I'd like to admit. As growth continues for me, I enjoy the challenges and demands that keep me doing what I love.
