The end of summer is now upon us. We loved looking back through the month of August and remembering all the fun, summer projects we worked on! This month we started a new series called Trade Secrets. You can find our first and second post here and here.
We took advantage of this last bit of summer with a few summery sister style posts. Our favorite styling posts are 1, 2, 3, & 4.
Our favorite projects for the home this month was a magical a-frame tent and this wood palette table. Our favorite fashion projects was this scarf printed with fruits and veggies, and this adorable clutch. We also finished a maternity series with our pal Stacy with this pretty wrap dress and sun dress.
We made some really yummy recipes, both savory and sweet. Homemade granola, pizza dough, summer tarts, peanut butter + honey cupcakes, chocolate chip cookie dough icecream, rhubard toaster strudel, and how to make your own pesto.
Emma shared with us her ombre hair story and also introduced us to her boyfriend, Trey!
We collaborated with some pals of ours to bring you 5 ways to style socks and 4 ways to style medium/short hair!
Elsie shared how she creates a color story for her design process, a little bit of interior inspiration and how to make product collages.
We can't believe it's September! Autumn is our favorite. This month we are looking forward to sharing lots of ideas and inspiration for the new season. Stay tuned for sneak peeks of the month to come.... XO. elsie + emma and the ABM team
Love this little recap of the month! Thanks!
