Difference Makers! Meet Cristy of Love You Sew May 27, 2020 20:57
With the onset of Covid 19 here in the states, I wanted to help as much as I could. I was truly shocked to learn how much of a PPE shortage we had and with my former work life in manufacturing, I knew it would take months for domestic production to ramp up and fill the demand.
In my home, I have the machines, the fabric and ability to make masks, so I felt the calling and had to act.
It’s always hard to know how many people actually use the patterns but I’ve been tagged and messaged when other sewists do. It’s truly heart-warming to know I’m helping others empower themselves to see right now. I make a point to answer all the mask and related PPE questions and I get so we can get as many masks out there as possible.
I batch sew as much as possible (making several at a time for productivity)...but if I had to estimate the time for a single mask with ties, it would be 20 since I would have to make the ties as well. For a mask with elastic, it would probably take 15 min.
I teach classes occasionally at Sew to Speak in Worthington and Anita Gastaldo, the owner, asked me if I would help the reusable gowns primarily for EMS works. She is working with an incredible grass roots team with Ohio Saves A Hero which is raising money to masks, shields and gowns. All of the money goes to the PPE supplies and depends on hundreds of volunteers to sew, assemble, and deliver all over our great state. If you would like to contribute or learn more, you can visit their GoFund me page here: https://www.gofundme.com/f/
If anyone would like to help, please support Ohio Saves a Hero first. I’m taking donations through venmo @cristy-stuhldreher and PayPal cristy@iloveyousew.com to help with supplies and shipping. I send other supplies to hard hit areas too. For example, I know a police officer in Chicago who doesn’t have aerosol disinfectant for his gear and it’s hard to find in the city. When I’m out running errands, I try to find what I can and send it over.

Thank you to The Biz Ladies for the Honey Rose & K Interview!
Click the Above Link to read the full article and other amazing ladies who run businesses.
I've always believed success is not measured by money or by people who obtain fame but how you feel about the work you do, the journey to your accomplishments and the people who have helped you along the way. Being acknowledged is awesome but nothing compares to the people you meet and work with throughout the years.

Favorite Hidden Spot in Town: Victor’s Taco Shop in Delaware by Ohio Wesleyan University. It’s a drive, has no place to sit and eat, and is in a building that at one point was likely a Taco Bell. But it’s so worth it. Ain’t no problem a Victor’s carne asada burrito can’t solve.

Seashell Jewelry Trend February 5, 2019 15:36
Much bolder iterations are seen throughout the current runway resort collections and adorned cowries feel freshest against polished pieces like workwear and casual-chic styles. I like that it takes on a bold approach with bigger statement pieces and a simple approach with delicate necklaces. Look for people wearing them with more than just a summer dress. You can really take it out of that seasonal context and wear it with a cool suit or faux fur coat in the midst of winter. No need to wait if you are in the colder states...GO FOR IT!

How to Wear & Care for Your Jewelry August 16, 2018 14:08
Caring for your fashion jewelry is just as important as feeling amazing when wearing your jewelry! A few pointers that will keep your jewelry fabulous for the long run.
Keep your jewelry away from
- water
- dishwashing soap
- lotion
- perfume
- silver cleaner
- other harsh chemicals
Did you know your jewelry should be the last thing you put on and the first thing you take off? YES, YES!
Store your jewelry properly
KEEP YOUR JEWELRY TARNISH FREE BY KEEPING YOUR JEWELRY DRY
- Don't Wash Dishes or do Laundry With Your Jewelry on. Many cleaning products that come in contact with your beautiful jewelry that can take off the finish. Why? Because of the harsh chemicals.
- Don't Wear Jewelry In Pool or at the Spa. Chlorinated water can react with the metals found in jewelry causing your awesome earrings or necklace to change color.
- Don't Use Jewelry Cleaner. Cleaner made for silver, gold, or platinum is way too harsh for fashion jewelry which is usually gold plated with these precious metals.
- Don't Put on Lotion or Perfume with your Jewelry on. For the same reasons we listed above, lotions and perfumes that are not 100% natural can react with your jewelry.
LAST ON, FIRST OFF
- Put Your Jewelry on After You Put Your Clothes on and Before Your Take Your Clothes Off. Doing this will ensure that your clothing doesn't get caught on your sweater or t-shirt during the clothing removal process. An accidental pull of your necklace while taking off your shirt can cause a chain or jump ring to break!
- Remove Your Jewelry During Activities. When performing mundane and fun tasks, such as laundry, cooking, or gardening, remove your jewelry to prevent physical damage or exposure to cleaning chemicals or cleaning fluids. We also recommend taking off necklaces when holding small children or playing with them. Sounds silly but you wouldn't believe how many babies and toddler will yank/break and pull your necklace right off.
STORE YOUR FASHION JEWELRY PROPERLY TO KEEP IT LOOKING GREAT FOR YEARS!
- Keep Your Jewelry Secure. Store your jewelry in a jewelry box or other secure container that will prevent your baubles from moving around. You can also store your jewelry in a silk or velvet pouch and put each pouch in a decorative shoe box.
-
Avoid Air! The air around us is what makes metal tarnish. We recommend using a ziploc or sandwich bag with the air squeezed out to prevent oxidization.
We hope these tips help you to keep your jewelry looking great from now until forever.

What's In Her Bag with Blogger and Personal Stylist, Candace Read June 4, 2018 09:00
We are thrilled to feature one of our favorite fashion bloggers, Candace Read. She's always on point, has great taste (refined, practical and pulls off a finished look), gorgeous (inside and out), and fun. Her style is relatable, completely in touch with living life, wearing comfortable clothes and looking good while doing it.
I met Candace over a smoothie bowl at Zest at Easton Town Center. We chatted about her role at Wardrobe Therapy. She helps clients with personal shopping, wardrobe consulting, and closet restyling services. She brings her regular working girl style to her clients, and to readers of her blog. When not working or blogging, she's exploring Columbus with her husband.
Her bag reflects her life as a personal stylist, always on the go. Her items are functional and fun.
Candace typically carries a backpack or a satchel bag with a crossbody strap. Her soft leather backpack shown is from GiGi New York.
She's a huge fan of Neutrogena's lip color stick. She also carries Pacifica underarm wipes.
Her personalized field notes were a gift from A&F Challenge, a party hosted by Abercrombie and Fitch, benefitting a different non-profit each year.
A fabric tape measurer, Tide to-go stick, iPhone and changer, cash (for meters), pins and business cards are essential to her work as a personal stylist.
She wears her Honey Rose & K vintage Italian compass pendant. Its symbolic to her since she just did a rebranding of her blog from "Live Love & Read" to "Candace Read". She's changing her direction to reflect a "more mature, refined and a million times more confident in who I am {perks of getting older}".
Candace wearing a pair of HR&K statement earrings and tassel bracelets.
We are excited that Candace is taking her Honey Rose & K with her on this exciting journey of rebranding and a new direction.

Egyptians: Best Jewelry Creators Of All Time May 28, 2018 22:02
I just got back from an amazing weekend in NYC with my husband and oldest daughter. We took in the sights, ate everything in sight, and tracked over 20K/day on the Apple activity tracker. It was an action packed three days of fun.
On a rainy morning, we decided to tour a few exhibits at The Metropolitan Museum of Art. The Met is one of the most fantastic places to visit in NYC, or arguably, the country. Not only is the architecture of the building amazing, but it houses some of the best works of art. We only spend a few hours, only enough to scratch the surface
In my opinion, the Egyptian exhibit was by far the most interesting collection. It was a comprehensive collection of tombs, many with hieroglyphics still visible. Many statues of stone were still preserved, just as they would have appeared 4,000 years ago. Without question, Egyptians were ahead of their time in math, architecture and preservation.
A large part of the collection was jewelry discovered in tombs. As you can see, the detail is outstanding and truly works of art. I found that much of the jewelry could be worn today, and still look fashionable.
If you'd like to read more about the The Met's Egyptian Art exhibit, please visit www.metmuseum.org/about-the-met/curatorial-departments/egyptian-art. Make sure to schedule time to visit on your next NYC trip!

Accessorizing for National Wine Day! May 25, 2018 00:00
We LOVE wine. Why not celebrate our love? We are still wondering why its limited to National Wine DAY. Why not a month? Or all year?
Like fashion, wine is expressive. It's balancing. Science. Blending. Color. It's love. It's vintage.
Wine, like fashion, is a billion plus dollar market. Why? Because it makes us feel good.
In honor of National Wine Day, we would love to show you our favorite red, rose and white pieces online right now.
Meredith, owner of HRK, has a winery in her family. Ladies, road trip to Vino di Piccin soon!!
Enjoy celebrating National Wine Day!

Memorial Day Style May 24, 2018 08:00
We are finally embarking on summer! Pools are opening this weekend and the cookout season begins!
If you're heading to a Memorial Day party, you're more than likely heading to a cookout. Casual and fun, its a great way to break out the white eyelet dress or jean shorts. We have a great selection of red, white, and blue make your outfit more festive.
We love this Shopbop eyelet dress (only $49!!!) with our navy or red tassel earrings. A strappy sandal and denim jacket, this easy look is fashionable and comfortable!
For a fun look, we love this Target tank paired with red tassels.
For any patriot look you're going for, we have you covered.
Thank you to our men and women who have and are currently serving in our military.

Pool Bling: How to Accessorize Pool Side May 22, 2018 09:10
All winter long, I'm thinking of summer. While I don't enjoy being in the sun, I love laying under an umbrella, while the sun is shining.
Cover ups, new slide sandals, a new suit (or 3), and I'm shopping mid-February for pool days in June. Why? They're outfits! Why not accessorize them!!!
For the easy, sporty, suit and coverup, our simple pieces will work well. We love our vintage studs with a cotton coverup.
For a romantic, scalloped suit, something fun and whimsy is a nice contrast! We love our tassel earrings to add a pop of color against black.
For the newest trend in swim coverups, the kimono, we love pairing it with a simple drop earring, like our mod earring.
However you rock your swim wear, never forget to accessorize it!

There are ways to wear this easy look. Whether heading to the pool, errands, or an evening out, you can make this look as casual or dressy as you want.
We have a few great options in stock, and so affordable. We are seeing head scarves styled everywhere, seen here at Anthropologie.
Ditch your baseball cap for an on trend and easy summer look with the head scarf! Ours are created using vintage scarfs for a one-of-a-kind look.

What's In Her Bag: Bray's Way Blogger, Reagan Mamer May 16, 2018 09:45
If you follow Columbus bloggers, you are more than likely following Reagan Mamer's blog, Bray's Way. We love her lifestyle blog, full of home decor inspirations (and they're affordable!), wedding planning (the lace dress she chose!), and her favorite eateries. She's one of the nicest people I've met, and truly embodies the mid-western woman: down to earth and charming.
Reagan's home is as cozy as her personality. Just wrapping up a home renovation, the kitchen is amazing and her floral bathroom is swoon-worthy. Her bichon poodle mix, Leo, captured our hearts. Look at this sweet face!!!
Reagan's bag is full of great products, both practical and fun!
Her bag is a bamboo clutch from Amazon. It's light and so fun, perfect for summer!
She carries her favorite Kate Spade wallet (it's actually the best wallet, I am on my 3rd one. You can slide your cards in without having to open it!).
Her mirror sunglasses are from Vernacular.
Her favorite hand lotion is a gift from her friend. She gifted Reagan a bride box before her wedding, full of bridal essentials. She also keeps a travel Benefit mascara with her, for those important lash touchups.
She never leaves home without her travel toothbrush and toothpaste! After each cup of coffee, she's freshening up.
She loves a delicate necklace with bold earrings, like these from Honey Rose and K. She wears black, white and gray on rotation, so these black earrings go with much of her closet.
She always keeps a treat for Leo, because he's always in tow (and how can you resist not spoiling a puppy!)
Thank you Reagan for allowing us to peek into your cute bamboo clutch! We love your style, both home and fashion!

How To Accessorize Your Preppy Clothes with Honey Rose & K May 11, 2018 08:30
The ladies who wear HRK want a modern and unique accessory. Since most of the line is one of a kind, the pieces tend to feel the vintage and boho vibe. We've heard women say "I'm not boho." "I can't pull that off." Guess what? You can!
Not everyone dresses alike, but our accessories cross all styles. We are going to show you how to pull our pieces into a preppy look.
Lilly Pulitzer. A classic that was adored by Jackie O. Enough said. There's never a question when someone wears Lilly. It's iconic. While most is bold, we love using a simple drop earring to pull a color out of the print. The pearl burst earrings will make a statement without taking away from the bold print.
Vineyard Vines. Who doesn't want to move to Martha's Vineyard and sail after walking into their store? They've paved a way for a new preppy look, especially with menswear.
We love our white tassels with seersucker, making for a simple, classic look.
When wearing gingham, go for an unexpected statement, using a contract neutral to pull together. These peachy earrings are a great choice, especially with a popped collar
Your look doesn't belong in a box: preppy, boho, romantic, so why should accessories? Our gems can transition to many different looks.

Layering Necklaces The Right Way: Meagan's Cafarelli's Way May 9, 2018 09:00
We love Meagan Cafarelli's blog, Pieces of Mom's Life. She's cool and has amazing style. Really easy, effortless style. She's a fan of our necklaces, and how she wears them, you'll see why. Easy to wear and all available in the shop. Here she rocks our lotus necklace,
When choosing how to layer necklaces, delicate chains and small pendants are important so it doesn't become too overpowering. Most of our necklaces can be custom to any length, giving you options to create a great look like Meagan's.
Thanks for sharing with us, Meagan!

Our Mother's Day Wish List May 8, 2018 12:33
Mother's Day is around the corner and we are excited to spend the day with our families. We've been helping our customers shop for gifts for their moms, sisters, daughters, and the women who are like moms to them. Today, you can shop with 20% off online or messaging us to help give the perfect gift, even if its for yourself! Use code MOM at checkout.
Here's what we've been eyeing, buying, and gifting!
1. A staycation at a local hotel. Just because its Mother's Day, who says you can't have an evening away from your family! Uninterrupted sleep! TV to yourself! Time to read the book you've been trying to get through for 6 months! Room service! Head home after checkout, just in time for your family to take you to brunch.
2. A bookstore giftcard. Nothing better than time by yourself to browse the new fiction with a cup of coffee, shop beautiful notepads, and pickup mini chocolates at the checkout counter. We love The Book Loft and Barnes and Noble.
3. A floral statement piece. Flowers are beautiful, but they only last for a week (if you're lucky). We love the idea of receiving a floral statement piece that will last for years. Our gorgeous daisy necklace, chasing daisies necklace, pink petal earrings, and the flower power earrings are great options!
4. Yoga class pass. An hour carved out of the day for your physical and mental health is a gift for the entire family. Whether gifting or receiving, it shows that health is worth giving.
5. Nothing better than giving and receiving a homemade gift from the kids. Our kids make their grandparents art, songs, videos, and books. We also love receiving their homemade gifts and of course, hugs and kisses.
Happy Mother's Day from all of us at Honey Rose & K

Your Go-To Dress and Ways to Accessorize It. April 27, 2018 09:00
We all have that one go to dress in our closet. It takes you from work to date night to girls night to kids choir concert to grocery shopping. It is tried and true.
One of our favorites is The Bella Bean's Zoe dress (it has pockets!). Its flowy and effortless. Costing around $30, its an essential and affordable staple in our closet. Available in black, green, red, navy and pink, you may want to pick up a few colors. The Bella Bean is a great online store that not only dresses your kiddos to pure perfection, but the ladies selection is great, too.
We styled the black Zoe dress with a few favorites from our latest Honey Rose and K collection. Marisa, co-owner of The Bella Bean, is wearing HRK's tear drop stud earrings and mixed metal triangle long necklace for a great business casual look. Paired with a ballet flats and she's ready for the day.
For a date night look, Marisa is wearing pink silk tassels and a delicate choker for a fun, flirty look.
For girls night out, Marisa chose our fun flying feathers earrings with a long zodiac pendant.
The Zoe dress can not only go from work, but to a concert, too. Justin Timberlake is now touring!! Marisa is wearing our multi chain deer tip necklace with a simple, yet edgy claw earrings.
Rocking HRK's multi tassel earrings and stacked beaded bracelets, Marisa has chosen this look for family brunch.
Thanks Marisa and The Bella Bean, for letting us tag along with your versatile Zoe dress. Honey Rose & K's modern style can accessorize you for all occasions.

Truly Linked May 8, 2017 00:00
As of late, my style has gone more towards a modern clean vibe and less of an extreme boho look. My favorite go-to piece for going out at night is a linked choker. Sometimes a delicate layered look suites my mood but nothing feels as good as a linked choker or short necklace.
You can find more online here too!

How Tassels Update Your Wardrobe May 2, 2017 14:57
Tassels and pom poms are the must-have fashion accessory for this spring and summer. Sandals, beach totes, necklaces earrings and more are getting a punch of color with these fun add-ons. It's also a great way to wear a simple t-shirt, dress or denim while adding some serious color and flavor to your look.At Honey Rose & K, we love mixing in vintage with the modern tassels. It's an eco-chic way to update flea market finds into a modern piece.
Vintage beads shown with modern tassels and a druzy.
I love wearing a sloppy bun or pulling my hair back loosely and adding the 3-tier tassel earrings. It's an instant conversation piece and goes great with a Summer glow.
Also available in blue, green, purple, black...
I'm looking forward to a beach get-away in June and the Pom Pom Paradise necklace is going with me Perfect for strolling in the markets and dinner poolside.
Ahhhhhh, now I have Summer on the brain. Please weather...warm-up!
