Dahlings, I can’t believe I’m saying this, but today is my lil ‘ol blog’s third birthday! I’m sorry I didn’t dress for the occasion like I have in past years, but choice of casual wear is actually in honor of some bigs things to come in my fourth year!

Nauti or Nice Long-Sleeve Tee, customized c/o Spreadshirt | Necklace, Tiffany & Co | Shorts, H&M [similar] | Navajo Sandals, Jack Rogers

Let me back up though and tell you about a fun thing called Spreadshirt, a new online marketplace that’s like Custom Ink met Etsy. If you’re the shopping kind, you can find all sorts of fun tees, mugs, bags, etc. to fill your closet with. If you’re the artistic kind, you can upload your own designs and have them printed on shirts and other products. Or if you’re the entrepreneurial kind, you can upload your own designs AND turn around and sell them in the Spreadshirt marketplace!

My BFF Samantha and I used Spreadshirt to design the shirt above [SO comfortable– and you can buy your own here!]. She gets full credit for this fun design, and I’m so excited to let you know that you may just be seeing a lot more of her + her work around here! We have some exciting things planned that have been in the works for a while [like, since wine-and-craft nights in college while], and I’m counting the days until I can tell you about them! For sneak peeks [+ hints!], be sure to follow us both on Instagram: @emilyshell & @samkirner.

Until then, you can snag your own Nauti or Nice tee for a limited time, and try Spreadshirt yourself! Let me know what you end up making or selling!
