• The craftsmanship



    Within the first two minutes of watching "The Sign Painters" movie trailer, I was hooked. I'm quite the nerd when it comes to letters, typefaces, etc., so obviously I was amazed watching these artists hand paint every letter so perfectly. It's so refreshing to see people that are passionate about the art of signs and lettering. There's just something so gravitating about those bold letters and hand-drawn lines and how the texture of the paint on different surfaces really brings it all to life. It's this combination of elements that make these signs impossible not to notice. There are actually quite a few businesses and artists around Louisville that have warmly embraced this type of craftsmanship, using this marketing technique to really set themselves apart from other businesses. But clearly, it's not just marketing, it's an art form that truly becomes a vital part of a business's character. These are just a few of my favorites--enjoy!

    Feeling like stepping out with a flair no less than chic? This look will most definitely have you lookin' svelte and stylish. A  black and white striped pencil dress combines with a printed heel (love these beauties!) for a trendy take on classic stripes and florals. Feel free to add a pop of pastel with this slightly pearlized foldover clutch. Oh, and The hint of glam? These anything-but-basic black twinkling jewels! A simple cat eye and pop of a pink lip keeps things fresh for spring. Voila! Tres tres chic.

    Vintage inspired with plenty of peppiness! This would be the perfect dress for a picnic or really any sunny outing and I'm particularly fond of this bright mustard color. These adorable jewels bring it together, keeping with the theme of vintage charm. Add some spring-themed accessories (wedges, straw bag) and be sure to go for a bright-eyed look with some lengthening mascara.

    If there's one thing this look lacks, it's certainly not pizazz! A spicy patterned mini dress combines perfectly with a chunky neutral pump and bright white clutch. This blazer dresses up the look a bit while simultaneously adding an element of demure flair. Last but not least, this statement-making necklace is the perfectly-coordinated final touch of boldness! Now, here's an eye-catching ensemble sure to garner some attention.
