A Spring Dream

| The Green Dream by shopgracieb featuring gold jewelry |
Is spring here yet? If it's not, it should be. Who's with me?
Not sure about you guys but I've been spoiled by an extremely mild winter this year. So, I think its time we just end this charade and make it official! Bring on the warm, sunny mornings and lots of bare legs and sandals!
In honor of this declaration, I popped over to Polyvore and put together one Spring-worthy outfit featuring the new Green Dream Dress! Now it's just time for Mother Nature to cooperate.... she'll eventually see it my way :)
Happy Shopping!

This just in: gracie b. is now at The Hub!
About a month ago, I kind of told you that I had some exciting news coming up that I couldn't share quite yet. Well, I am happy to say that I can finally share my exciting news... gracie b. can now be found at The Hub of Topeka!
For those of you not familiar with The Hub, it is a great little collective boutique located in Fairlawn Plaza at 21st and Fairlawn. The Hub features one-of-a-kind clothing, accessories and home decor from a variety of small, independently owned nearby boutiques. While the above is not the best photo I've ever taken, I was so excited to share my good news that I snapped a quick picture with my iPhone after I set up last weekend!
So, please come visit and share with a friend!
xo,
gracie b.
gracie b. across the web!
There have been some busy, busy bees around the boutique these days (get it, bee, as in gracie b....okay, that was a bad joke). Anyway, word is getting out, business is picking up and sites across the web are helping spread the news about the beautiful things gracie b. has to offer! And, I could use not be more thrilled!
Here is a link to a beautiful little post that appeared on Dilly Dallas on Friday. I found Dallas' blog about 2-3 years ago and have been hooked ever since. Her style is so much like mine: feminine and classic, but with a modern twist. I just love it, and I'm sure you will too!
And, while we're bragging, I have to brag a little about our PR help from the talented Isa Maria Seminega of Noisette Marketing. Isa has been so amazing to work with over the last three months. With new product constantly coming in, local fairs to attend, and a few other things I can't tell you about just yet :).... I have had very little time to stay on top of marketing. But, Isa has been so fantastic to work with, doing all the research, contacting bloggers, and getting the gracie b. name out there.
So, a huge thanks to everyone who has supported shopgracieb.com so far! It's been a fun journey that just keeps getting more exciting :)

It's not quite over...
I have always been a little (a lot) impatient, so transitioning between seasons is a slightly difficult time for me. All the new styles of the upcoming season look so bright and shiny and new, I just can't wait to try them all out! So, I have been working to remind myself to savor what I have. The last remaining weeks (or months, depending on where you live) of warm weather means enjoying dresses without tights, wearing all those beautiful sandals you've purchased, and enjoying a beer while grilling out with friends and family. In honor of the fact that summer is not quite over, here is a selection of wonderful items that will surely help you enjoy this transition :)

brought back to life
Here at gracie b. we tend to enjoy the simpler things in life and take great pride in finding beauty in items that would have otherwise been headed for a trash heap. Over the last several weekends I've spent a significant amount of time getting my office reorganized and decorated to properly reflect the gracie b. aesthetic.
My first project was this chair, a $15 find at a local thrift store that now serves as a beautiful place to sit. I truly wish I had a picture of the way it originally looked to show how worn down this chair was. The frame was a nicked and scratched oak color, with a dingy blue seat cushion. It did take a little sweat and perseverance, but after some sanding and primer, several spray cans of white lacquer and a trip to JoAnn's to find this beautiful blue and green lattice fabric, suddenly an unloved chair becomes a beautiful piece of furniture!
At some point I would LOVE to incorporate a home decor section into the shop... but I have to remind myself that Rome was not built in a day :) For now, here are a few wonderfully revived items currently in the shop! Happy Shopping!
