Iva Jean Launches the Rain Cape

noreply@blogger.com (Dottie) — Sun, 14 Aug 2011 21:55:00 +0000

I quit blogging on still dottie a little over a year ago and I've got some exciting news for those of you still paying attention. We've launched our first product over at Iva Jean - the Rain Cape.

Designed to protect you from the rain with the style and personality you bring to every other aspect of your life. The Rain Cape provides a stylish and functional solution that works on and off your bike, proving that you are more than a cyclist.

Continuing a legacy of timeless outerwear products produced in the Pacific Northwest, the Rain Cape was designed and made in Seattle, a place more than used to a little rain.

On Sale Now - ready to ship September 1, 2011.

with love

noreply@blogger.com (Dottie) — Tue, 27 Jul 2010 16:54:00 +0000

this week+ turned into a month - i can hardly believe the time has gone by so quickly.

i could go on for hours about how amazing it has been to keep up this blog. it's a constant source of inspiration, a great way to get in touch with new people, a sounding board, an outlet, my baby, my collection, my voice. even though this blog is all of those things, this last month has not been a void.

there are changes abound - a new job, a new project, & hopes of building my community here in seattle. for now, i hit the pause button on still dottie adventures.

with love.

found art - 2 ply parachutes

noreply@blogger.com (Dottie) — Mon, 14 Jun 2010 16:03:00 +0000

i can usually fall asleep as soon as i put my head on the pillow & close my eyes. last night i found myself lying there with the windows open, my head spinning with feelings of anxiety and heart ache. bart has been out of town for just a few days, but i'm missing him like crazy. i'm not usually one to mush, but here we go...

he decided to take a year for himself just 5 short months ago. after years of a hectic work environment & personal struggles with his hands, it was time for him to fall back in love with art. he wanted to feel like an artist again - feel the joy & passion of storytelling.

like most artists, he'll respond to compliments humbly, but i think his talents are unlike anything i've seen. i miss you b. xo

check out 2 ply parachutes for a peek into his brain.

music to listen to - lusine

noreply@blogger.com (Dottie) — Sat, 12 Jun 2010 01:10:00 +0000

noreply@blogger.com (Dottie) — Fri, 11 Jun 2010 19:37:00 +0000

thanks to my dearest kristin for sending me to the armor jewelry site. all of the pieces are super sexy - i'm wondering where the sudden love for corset and body jewelry is coming from?
