Getting Inspired #9- BLACK & WHITE

Published on by Zoe VLeave a comment

It’s often cold & cloudy here in the San Francisco Bay Area, even during summer, which makes it much easier to mix clothing from different seasons & to start thinking ahead towards the fall trends…..

The high impact black & white trend is bold & classic & something that can be worn now & later come fall. Here are some images to get inspired……

And LOVE  this for later in the fall……

All About Easter

Published on by Zoe VLeave a comment

Seeing as I love all things vintage, I’ve been on the hunt for some cool retro Easter items, here are some of my favorites: Let’s start the week off with some Juliette Sunshine vintage Easter picks! I spend some time on Etsy searching for the cutest retro Easter items for the season….

Vintage Easter Boxes from Lishyloo Vintage


Vintage Easter Cards from BettyAndDot


Vintage Easter Eggs from BabylonSisters


Vintage Easter Children’s Suitcase Box from greatvintagefun


VIntage Easter Miniatures Bunnies and Ducks by Paisleyana

Some other great Easter finds from Belle & Boo…so sweet with a modern vintage vibe & cute Easter craft ideas to try from the LMNOP blog

….and our bright vintage remade dresses for girls: Juliette Sunshine.

What are you planning for Easter this year? I love Easter mostly because of fond childhood memories of meeting Easter bunnies, decorating eggs, eating those fluffy marshmallow bunnies & jelly beans and how one year I received one of those giant eggs with a special scene inside. Did you ever get one of those…..?

Happy Easter!

A Happy Rainbow Party

Published on by Zoe VLeave a comment

Time is flying by so quickly and so many new and exciting things are happening in out little family these days. One of the exciting things that happened this month is that Kaiya (our daughter, our love, our muse) celebrated another birthday and is now 5!

To celebrate, we decided on a “Rainbow Unicorn” theme for her party….


…with some Rainbow Balloons


a Rainbow Fruit Salad


and Homemade cake with Rainbow Sprinkles & Unicorns

….we invited a “Magical Snow Fairy” who did some amazing face painting…..

…and threw in a bunch of friends, a little “Star Wars” and a unicorn pinata into the mix for good measure. It was a fun and quirky outdoor party on a very unusually sunny and warm day.

Happy Birthday Kaiya! May all your days be filled with love, magic and rainbows…….

Apple Picking

Published on by Zoe VLeave a comment

I forgot to post about the weekend when we went to a farm to do apple picking for the first time! So fun…and in such beautiful surroundings….can you imagine living a simple, quiet life on a farm? The apples were so tasty…I was so inspired, I went home and baked a pie from scratch-yum!

We also got to visit some lovely & lazy pigs, sheep and chickens……

New Beginnings….& Spring 2011

Published on by Zoe VLeave a comment

                                  (The first Juliette Sunshine sample I made for my daughter!)

...From our initial sales launch in August of 2009, to the first spring shipment in January of 2010, we are so excited to have now designed, produced & shipped two seasons of Juliette Sunshine’s “Eco-friendly & Made in USA Clothing for Girls” to over 45 amazing stores nationwide!!
The fall line has gotten a great response and we’ve already added several new stores for 
Spring 2011.

For a very small start up company, It’s been a great beginning and I definitely feel like I’ve taken a crash course in business along the way…..

-I really started on a whim…..just making cute little dresses and tops from vintage garments & recycled pieces of fabric…. for my then 2 year old daughter to wear. After so many years working 50-60 hours a week designing into the latest trends for big, fast-paced fashion companies; it was a refreshing change & I really fell in love with the idea of producing special items that were made locally from earth friendly & recycled materials. I had so much fun doing it that I started to think about starting my own Eco-friendly fashion company.  With a desperate desire to spend more time with my daughter & lots of help & encouragement from my husband, I just decided one day that even if I had no idea how I was going to do it, I just had to do it…..

So with that in mind……

We are very excited to enter our 3rd season: Spring 2011 at Juliette Sunshine!

This month we are excited to debut:


A fabulous new Look Book!  -(Thanks to my fab friend Lana for her amazing expertise putting it together and Jessika, Jordan & Matthew for an equally amazing photo shoot!)



A fun new collection for Spring ’11 with more styles & more colors than ever before…



The launch of our new sustainable basics collection: “Eco-Candy by Juliette Sunshine”

(recent write-up in Earnshaw’s magazine)



And….a new online store: “Juliette Sunshine’s Style Shop”– ( a style lab for new ideas &  exclusive “one of a kind” limited edition pieces made from recycled materials)- Coming Soon!

Thanks to everyone who helped to make this happen! (You know who you are)…..it’s been a fun ride!
