Happy New Year!

Kamilah Cole - Monday, January 30, 2012

Hooray for 2012!  I am excited for the chance we have to declare the start of a new year as a fresh start.  Granted, we could (and should!) start fresh each day because each day is a gift to be celebrated.  But, for K.Grace, I'm hoping this is a year filled with plenty of new beginnings. 

Don't get me wrong, I loved 2011.  Both personally and business-wise, 2011 was a year of much growth.  Some of the growth was painful.  Some of the growth was magical.  I'll take it though.  The good, the bad, the ugly.  I'm grateful to be living this life and I'm grateful to be following my passion.  One thing that I will say about 2011, was that I may not have fully appreciated what I have to share.  This year I really want to acknowledge my blessings, as small as they may be.

When I first started this blog (and website and fashion line) I wanted to keep it simple and centered around a few topics.  Such as my inspiration, news of any sales and/or press, green topics that tickle my fancy, behind the scenes info on creating your own line, and/or styling tips.  I may have some posts that are off-topic, but I think it's important to have a goal.  So, here's to a great 2012 full of sharing and learning and growing.

Here are a few things that are inspiring me as of late.  I am dying to do a dreamy knit made of organic wool for K.Grace.

I'm noticing a trend of chunky knits for home...

This yarn is speaking to me.  I need to re-learn how to knit, I think.

The Eco-Fashion Choice

Kamilah Cole - Monday, December 06, 2010
I had an awesome opportunity to be interviewed by Burrell Communications about K.Grace.  They are working with Toyota to launch a green initiative and asked me to share my perspective.  I HAD to say yes!  It was a great experience.  
Keep checking back to the Toyota Green website.  They'll be hosting events and posting additional eco-conscious articles.  I'm glad I was able to be a part of it and look forward to a continued relationship with them!

First EVER trunk show

Kamilah Cole - Tuesday, November 23, 2010
So, it's happening.

It'll be nice to meet you.

Giving Thanks

Kamilah Cole - Monday, November 22, 2010
With Thanksgiving right around the corner, what better time to show my appreciation? We have a tradition in our home to go around the table once the bounty has been set out and have each person tell at least one thing they are thankful for.  Depending on the year and who's gathered the mood ranges from very emotional to hysterical laughter.  Sometimes people say one thing, sometimes the lists seem never-ending as our mouths water from the platters full of food.  No matter how it ends up, it's a wonderful tradition and I intend to carry that thankful spirit with me throughout the year.  

Here is a tiny list of things I'm thankful for:
  • Our generous earth
  • The opportunity to follow my dreams
  • My beautiful family
  • The earth-loving customers who continue to support K.Grace
What are a few of the things you are thankful for?

Why you should buy organic/sustainable cotton

Kamilah Cole - Monday, November 15, 2010
I know, I know I'm preaching to the choir, right?  In case you need some cold, hard facts to impress your friends, check out this video from the Environmental Justice Foundation.  It's only 1 minute and 49 seconds and gives a great overview on why organic cotton is best.

While organic cotton production has increased in the past few years, it's still less than 1 percent of the global cotton production.  The Organic Consumers Association has said, "
Cotton uses more than twenty-five percent of all the insecticides in the world and 12% of all the pesticides. Cotton growers use 25% of all the pesticides used in the US. ” They also say, “75% of the cotton and cottonseed in the US is genetically modified.”

K.Grace is dedicated to only using organic cotton.  Thanks for doing your part by spreading the word and supporting our company.  Could today be the day that you share K.Grace with one friend?  You could invite them to sign up to receive our updates or join the discussions on our blog, twitter, and facebook.

Jennae is a cool, down-to-earth blogger who has a passion for all things green, but admits she isn't perfect (who is?!?).  If you aren't a regular subscriber to her blog yet, I'd recommend adding it to your RSS feed.  She always has great green tips!

Back from hiatus

Kamilah Cole - Monday, November 01, 2010
Hello!
I'm back.  
I've missed blogging and I've missed my K.Grace customers!  In case you've been wondering what I've been up to - my husband and I welcomed our first daughter, Laila Santana Cole, into our family on August 14th.  It has been amazing to break from anything that wasn't a necessity and bond with my daughter, however, I'm looking forward to creating again. 



However, I wasn't entirely idle, I did do some thinking while I was on break.

 I decided not to produce a Fall Collection this year.  When I started this company I vowed to always give all that I had to each collection.  And to create clothing that I would be proud and excited to wear.  And with this new addition I knew that wouldn't be possible.  

 Instead, I went right into creating the
Spring 2011 Collection.  I will be getting the final samples back any day now.  I hope you love the clean lines and classic silhouettes as much as I do.

 And finally, because I'm so in love with my daughter and I want to share the love, I'm offering all my customers 25% off on their next purchase.  

 Offer ends November 25th.
