How was everyone’s weekend? My was pretty good.

How was everyone’s weekend? My was pretty good. I repotted my monstera plant and successfully made 2 cuttings from the plant and put those into new pots as well. But currently we have a sewer clog that has run a mess into the basement and outside our house. Rossi Rooter is here to save the day and I’m hiding on my porch waiting to bleach everything. 🥃 #shithappens

Thank you so much to everyone that has made the VK

Thank you so much to everyone that has made the VKD Summer such a success! I’ve restocked a few of this fun style and more of the cropped yellow tee from a recent post @lavishscranton. I’ve got some more ideas swirling around in my head to try in the next couple of weeks. All the styles this season are hand dyed or custom cut, no two are exactly alike and cannot be replicated again bc it’s always somewhat of an unknown outcome...which is my favorite! Tag me if you’ve gotten one of these so far bc I love seeing you. 🖤

Painted an additional panel to complete the wall i

Painted an additional panel to complete the wall in our dining room last week. Plus, I hand painted black, vertical, stripe curtains over the rainy weekend. Just need to hem and hang. It will give the room such a pulled together look but adds playfulness to the space that compliments our creative and vibrant family using a monochromatic palette. 🖤🤍🖤🤍

Thank you to everyone who has supported VKD Summer

Thank you to everyone who has supported VKD Summer so far! This season I went back to my Fiber Art roots and hand dyed and/or custom cut the shirt styles. The outcomes were always unknown and that was part of the excitement. It was the most fun, the most color and my most authentic collection yet. I always enjoy releasing what I’ve dreamed up in my head and see it come to life. Getting to style and photograph them is a part of my process I really enjoy. In these photos I love the play between my yellow T-shirt and the traffic lights outside. 💛

Styles available @lavishscranton now! 💛

Throwing it back two years to Sarah+Michael, a mic

Throwing it back two years to Sarah+Michael, a micro styled wedding from May, 2019. It was my very first curated VKD wedding actually and Sarah+Micheal were the absolute coolest, perfect, go with the flow couple ever! It was such a dream to design custom bridal looks and the overall wedding experience but mostly to marry these two in a magical ceremony and reception @electriccitybakehouse. And an incredible team of creative, small businesses made it happen in under a couple weeks!

Happy Belated 2nd Anniversary Sarah+Michael! @sarah.kate.dennis I wish you all the hugs, 🖤 and 🥂this year and every year!

I got to style the cutest little garden party bday

I got to style the cutest little garden party bday for our girl over the weekend. Our Modern Day Renaissance Fairy Queen theme was inspired by a second hand party dress that she had hanging on her closet door knob for 3 months. We then found a velvet/flower/beaded headband that made her feel like a Queen and she added it to the door knob with her dress. She counted down the days until she turned 5!

It felt so good to style and host after such a long time of not gathering with friends for the kids and for us. We are doing it again with out of town family next week! (Different theme, more low key but still super fun!) Can’t wait.

All the details were made possible by all my favorite local friendors and other fav creative biz.

You can take the girl out of the Electric City but you can’t take the Electric City out of the girl!

Our little family was able to escape and spend a week in the sunshine in a place that has a special place in our hearts. We quickly packed one bag for all of us, flew for the first time in almost 2 years, spent as much time as we could outside day and night (then one of us would fall asleep every night at dinner), got sun burns and had to buy more sunblock and hats, tried to seek shady spots everywhere we went, ate as much fresh sea food as possible, lost our minds and tempers, found relief and freedom from our minds, responsibilities and fears while trying to shake the last 15 months off in 7 days (which is impossible but helped put mind into perspective), drank as much Cuban coffee as possible, saw a manatee, some of us buried ourselves in seaweed and sand(not me), walked or rode bikes everywhere we went, fed shrimp to tarpon fish, celebrated a bday of a past loved one, ate as much key lime pie and fish sandwiches as humanly possible, shed tears bc we had to come home but were really happy to be home.

And yes, we pretty much wore the same thing everyday...don’t worry, we had laundry facilities. 😉🌞🖤

Helloooooo Saturday Sunshine! 🌞

Views from our kitchen into the dining room. This open space is the room we spend most of our time. Plus, it’s the area that gets the most natural light in our house. So give me all the 🌿 plants!!!

We finally installed our light fixture and love it so much! For those that voted for the black bell pendant in my stories months ago...you won! 😉🖤

I’ve not shared enough photos from the MIDNIGHT/DAYLIGHT styled shoot for @chippywhitetable so I’m going to start now. And I don’t share many black and white images on here but these are giving me all the vibes today. 🖤

That day was the most fun as a stylist to get to be around and work with such incredible creative energy and immense talent. So grateful for the fab team:

My friends @lavishscranton recently renovated an amazing historical store front using @fancy.parsley to make their forever home. And it is the most inspiring and incredible space for their entire Lavish family and for the community. To help me congratulate them I had the super talented @shortandsweetnepa make customized celebratory cookies for my friends. She even used some tattoo artwork @rhiannonwinter_ used for tats at Lavish’s Grand Opening to make it extra special! And oh my goshhhhh she nailed it hard! Slide thru the images to check out these amazing edible pieces of art and the amazing new space but watch until the end to hear the custest, happiest response of @lavishscranton seeing the cookies for the first time! 🖤🤍🖤🤍🖤🤍

So again, congratulations @lavishscranton! And thank you @shortandsweetnepa you are the best! 🤍 Your cookies made all the smiles yesterday! 🖤

Thank you for everyone’s overwhelming and sincer

Thank you for everyone’s overwhelming and sincere support in regards to my last post about my recent mental well being. I received the absolute best messages, comments and irl chats about how these convos need to happen on the regular. I appreciate all of you SO much and grateful this platform can still be used in a way to make authentic connections that make a difference for the better.

And speaking of well-being, my husband @zenboz had my friends @matternsfloral make something special just for me that he knew would make me smile! I am obsessed and grateful for the gorgeous arrangement that arrived (out of the blue) last Friday! I have moved it around the house a couple times just to get the best views and maximum enjoyment. I settled on this placement bc I can see it clearly from my studio and while we hang in the living room or even just pass by during the day. 🖤🌞🖤

Sharing pics from yesterday which was such a great

Sharing pics from yesterday which was such a great day spent mostly outside!

I’m also sharing the reality of my struggle to manage the stress and induced depression associated with Covid 19.

The social isolation, homeschool situation w/little progress in educational options for our community and significant changes in my work life and never being alone while feeling alone has brought on monumental stress in a way I have never felt before.

Personally, I have always seen mental health professionals for different things like family counseling, marriage counseling, grief and trauma therapy...and now.

I just want to say I have never felt depression before, not like this. Yes, grief and sadness but never depression. I am fortunate to have the tools to manage my stress in a safe environment with a circle of support but it doesn’t stop the negative self talk and lonely feelings that creep in these days.

I debated not posting this and have deleted similar posts in the past. But I know I can’t be the only one feeling this way so I wanted to say that I feel you and we are in fact, not alone.

Managing stress, anxiety and depression are not a solo trip! Reminder to reach out to trusted friends(even when you don’t want to) and talk about how you are really doing, tell yourself out loud what you grateful for, maintain exercise/physical movement, find healthy projects or hobbies that bring you a sense of fulfillment and purpose, create a daily schedule as well as a sleep schedule and stick to it. I also hope to encourage anyone out there that hasn’t been told before or could benefit from mental health pro that we all need and deserve that safe space of validation. We just do.

It’s just such a challenging time and even though this platform is usually used for me to share my love for design and other VKD business I also know from my own family’s personal experience in losing a family member to suicide that mental health is just as important as any other health related issue. And this issue chose me so I’m choosing to share it with you. The more we talk about mental health the easier and more natural it will become. Together.
