So excited to start my countdown for my Etsy shop. If you don't know by now CPLG stands for Cheetah Print N Lip Gloss. It is the name of my Etsy shop, and it will consist of clutch purses, small pouches, and headbands all handmade by yours truly! I plan to open up shop by Saturday evening. I am so excited!

Patterns That I Adore!

Stripes! Yikes! 
I adore stripes. They add edge and chic-ness to any outfit. Some of my favorite pieces that I wear consist of stripes. I've even seen people mix stripes with other patterns such as florals, and it was really cute. I must include stripes in my future pieces.
Cheetah Fierceness 
Every woman, man, boy, girl, dog, should own something with a cheetah print! LOL. Pairing it with red items makes it a class, but it's just as cute worn alone. Of course I have a cheetah print clutch in the making. 

Florals Darling
Floral prints sometimes can look a little grannyish, but add a leather jacket and it's so chic. Summer is on it's way to Chicago, and I am looking for some florals to throw on. It's so feminine and cute, and what girl doesn't want to feel and look like a lady.
Chevron
If you are a frequent Pinterest user, the majority of fashion items consist of chevron. It is such a cute pattern with a little edge.



Well, those are just some of my favorite patterns. Mixing them with other cute patterns it such a great idea also. What are some of your favorite patterns?

Fabrics!


I thought this was so cute! This is a mapping of fabrics based on it's weight, stiffness, and draping. This is really important because we use different types of fabrics for different reasons. Who would want a paper thin cotton quilt? I have some awareness of fabric types, but I'm no pro. Thanks Coletterie for the map!
