Vintage Summer

My inspirations are coming from a wide variety of vintage patterns and styles. It started recently when my husband, (who is a HUGE James Bond fanatic), was watching "The Spy Who Loved Me".  The character Naomi played by Caroline Munro, was wearing a fabulous cover-up with tassels. It was stunning! I had to PVR the scene, just so I can admire it over and over.

As I peruse the internet, so many images are popping out. I love them all.
My creative juices are flowing with a million ideas as Google helps me rewind the fashion clock and go back in time. The ideas are bursting at the seams.  What will become of my next collection?

Is it a subtle hint that to add bathing suits to our collection? It was inevitable, bound to happen.

As well, our line for women is another new addition. For all the moms who have been asking, you and your daughters can have a matching cover-ups.

So, stayed tuned to get some sneak peeks here and there.

Dust off the keyboard!

Oh my, it has been a long stretch. I can't find any excuse except: PROCRASTINATION.

Well, Happy birthday to Missie Sunshine, who has turned 3 this year!
2014 was a fabulous year and already, I can feel the great buzz for SS15. Missie Sunshine just keeps getting better and better.

Heidi and I have been busy creating new pieces and we have lots to share. First and foremost, SWIMWEAR! Yes, our collection has grown into swimwear.
Then our fans asked for it so we created it, wait for it (drum roll, please).......Missie Sunshine's "mommy and me" matching beach cover ups.

We are growing and growing...Missie Sunshine thanks everyone who has supported us. We can't wait to share our new pieces!

Here's a little sneak peek!

xoxo Christina and Heidi

Laughter makes the world go round in my opinion. Our Missie Sunshine models were having blast during our recent summer photo shoot. Fantastic candid photo captured by our superb photographer, Sandrine Castellan.
