Inspiration of the week: Oilily
I was introduced to the GORGEOUS catalogs by this brand years ago by my friend, Amy Butler. I LOVE the use of pattern and color!!
Oilily was founded in the Netherlands in 1963 by Willem and Marieke Olsthoorn, who wanted to create cheerful, colorful clothes for children that stood out from the monotonous fashion of the time. Inspired by traditional folk costumes and vibrant international styles, Marieke developed the brand’s signature look of bold colors, unexpected details, and mixes of materials. The brand experienced bankruptcy in 2009 but was bought back by the founders and is now run by their family, maintaining its unique, creative, and increasingly sustainable approach to fashion for children and women.

Quote of the week…
“Because of the routines we follow, we often forget that life is an ongoing adventure… Life is pure adventure, and the sooner we realize that, the quicker we will be able to treat life as art: to bring all our energies to each encounter, to remain flexible enough to notice and admit when what we expected to happen did not happen. We need to remember that we are created creative and can invent new scenarios as frequently as they are needed.”
— Maya Angelou
