No, these adorable outfits weren’t plucked from a gnome’s welltended wardrobe, nor *poofed* into existence by the burst of a wizard’s wand, but honestly, could they be any better if they were? We think not! We are indeed enchanted by the playful, comfortable, and versatile wearable art pieces that Nichole sews!

Hi, I’m Briana (brie-ah-nuh) or just Bri (like the cheese) 🧀

I’m an artist, lover of all things handmade, outdoorsy dog mom with too many ideas and not enough time, who is just trying to stay on MY river of creativity (and not get too distracted by all of the shiny side streams anymore). I think this is what they call TMIS (too many ideas syndrome) 😵‍💫

I often feel like “The Mixed-Up Chameleon” – needing or wanting to do too many different things (& do them well) to the point where I wind up down a side stream with all the wrong tools to fight my way back upstream to the big river or “most important thing.” I’m trying to change that, but I also just have so many interests 😅.

Swipe to learn a bit more about me and all of that ☝️. I’ve never done one of these before, and I honestly feel very weird putting myself out there online, but I miss connecting with others with similar interests and would love to see where this goes.

Thanks for following along, and if we have anything in common, I’d love to hear! ❤️

This was outfit for heading to the farmer's market yesterday and enjoying a day out!

This crossbody bag from @leaflingbags has become my everyday carry bag! I get so many compliments on it and the camel color is perfect to go with everything, especially fall! If you've had your eye on these she's also running 15% off through the end of September (not sponsored - just a big fan!)

@notperfectlinen - Everest dress jumper in heavy weight toast, Size XL
@commonfolk.clothier - peasant blouse in sugardreams, custom size XL

Height - 5'1"
Bust - 46"
Waist - 36"
Hips - 48"

Took a little trip to Sweden with @nikkisuekemp , assembled some shelves and reorganized the studio. Documenting now because it won’t look this way for long.

*it already doesn’t look this way 😹

If you sew a lot, I recommend making a wool ironing board cover for yourself. We’ve been loving it.

P.s. @_lindzard has been called to jury duty. Please pray for me & Collette @solpatchgarden

I love September

I call this kind of dressing Whimsical Inner Child Healing chic ❤️ Seriously though, my fifth grade self would have worn this exact same outfit, and she needs some serious time defying love and prayers, so that's what I'll give her 🙏🏼💛
Thank you @commonfolk.clothier for making the most "me" feeling clothes I've ever beheld. I love feeling like a child's storybook character, that makes me happy 🌻🙏🏼

Get ready! Statemint’s fall consignment sales are about to begin, and if you’re anything like me, you’re either cleaning out your closet to sell gently worn but unwanted items and/or to make way for some new, exciting finds. And if this fall sale is anything like the spring one, we’re all in luck!

This last spring, I shopped at FIVE different Statemint locations (@statemintmorristown, @statemintsevierville, @statemint_asheville, @statemintknox, @statemint_westknoxville) and found way more than I expected. I found some new-to-me brands, specific pieces that I’d loved before but never purchased, and pieces I probably wouldn’t have purchased at full retail (but now love). Here are 16 of those favorites, how I styled them, what I paid, what I love about them, and which Statemint location I found them at (P.S. they’re all good!).

Anyway, if you’re on the fence about shopping consignment, here’s my proof that you can find so many (too many?) amazing, gently used items at crazy good prices (and that dogs make for excellent photo buddies when you feel silly taking and posting pictures of yourself online 😅).

Same size and style? My Poshmark closet is @ Brikee23, but it’s updated slowly and I’ll always have more available for a Statemint sale, if I’m signed up.

Let me know if you’re interested in what I’m wearing with the Statemint piece featured — I’m happy to help point you in the right direction!
