Momma Told Me: Be Bold.

I love color- and I should; seeing as I refer to myself as a living rainbow; if only my mentality were as cherry as my wardrobe, right? But in a sense, that's precisely why I surround myself with vibrant colors and prints. In fact, I'm fascinated by color and the effects they can have on people. Did you know that studies show people who stare at bright colors more than 10 minutes a day often have better odds of absorbing information and at being 'smarter?' Classically, yellow is seen as the cheeriest hue, while red exerts dominance and purple is a sign of controlled power- interesting, right? So what does it say about me when I blend all these strong colors together?
The HADAKI, by Kalencom, line is comprised of vivid colors executed in flawless solids across fine materials, often paired with loud and vibrant prints. The Slouchy Hobo leather handbag, featured here, comes in 13 gorgeous hues and features a relaxed shoulder profile with exquisite detailing inside and out. The braided single strap is reinforced for long wear and use, and the butter soft leather easily lends to the 'slouchy' namesake. Inside is a wide zippered pocket with a surprisingly bold mulch-colored Chevron print that matches the complimentary scarf included. Not only is this handbag spacious, but the bright Fall color (seen here in Grenadine) is perfect for this season's trends.
HADAKI has generously offered one Momma Told Me reader a Slouchy Hobo in their color of choice in honor of The 2014 Fall #FashionistaEvents! The Fall Fashionista Giveaway Event is hosted by The Chief Blonde at Still Blonde After All These Years and Katy from  ModlyChic. This is the web's only All Fashion! Only FASHION event! Largest Fashion Giveaway event on the internet with $26,000+ in prizes, 100+ participating blogs and 3/4 million entries. Each individual blog has a minimum of $125 prize! HADAKI is a first time sponsor for Momma Told Me but I highly doubt a last; as I know I will be raiding their upcoming Fall collection for some more vivid wardrobe accents!
HADAKI's motto is 'Be Bold' and their entire collection, from cosmetics and gadget gear to men's accessories radiates this mentality. Their collections are driven by beautiful, often intricate, prints that express moods through color and movement. As far as fashion goes this is one brand that is exclusive- grab that clutch or wristlet in the print you want, when you see it, the runs are limited and go fast!
While I loved the print as a lining in my new Slouchy Hobo purse, I was unsure of how so much of the HADAKI print would fit into my styling in regards to the scarf. Because the handbag was such a solid color on the outside, I decided I could easily tie the scarf at the end of the strap as an accent. I later found myself bold enough to use the scarf in my everyday accessorizing, and rather love the bold print when used to break up blocks of color in outfits. In all, I can't wait to continue discovering HADAKI collections and see the newest seasonal trends unveiled!

What Daughter Says: Find your Bold this fall with HADAKI.

Momma Told Me: Your heritage is what makes you beautiful.

Fashion is all subjective. All it takes is the approval of just a few in your circles to qualify as a trend. Ironically, just as fast as something is in, it can also be out- both of these factors make for an interesting twist to modern high fashion trends. Less is beauty being defined by what makes you the same (on trend), and instead different. Models in Milan are gaining popularity for imperfect 'flaws' that make then stand out in print and shoots. The more interesting your look, the more money people will pay to have you wear their clothes. And few things make you more interesting that that which is naturally yours, the thousands of people who came before you to give you your own unique story- your own defined look.

I have an ever growing family in the sense that I do not define my family so much as by blood as I do by heart. Tish Lynch Two Wolves is one of my 'adopted' sisters in this sense. She is an amazingly strong mother of 4 beautiful, equally strong, young girls- who's love for children and big heart is only further exemplified by he experience as a surrogate for a couple who could not have their own. Like so many modern mothers today she works full time to help support her family, alongside her husband, a gifted visual artist. In an attempt to help exemplify the importance of heritage to her own daughters Tish recently began beading Native American inspired jewelry while teaching her daughters the beliefs and traditions of their Comanche and Chocktaw ancestors.

At Handmade by Tish, on Etsy, you'll find an assortment of beautifully detailed hand-beaded jewelry from Native American inspired earrings to less intricate, bold, necklaces and bracelets. There are even a few contemporary pieces done with more advanced beading techniques and Tish is always happy to take a custom order for colors, patterns, or styling. Her experience birthing 5 pregnancies has even given her an appreciation for fashion in the sense of modesty maternity clothing. She recently opened a listing in her Etsy shop for a custom Maternity Hospital Gown with beautiful fabric and ribbon details that seamlessly blend functionality and style on your big day. I know I'll be reaching out to her when I start my family for some push-day threads!

As you can see, Tish has a gorgeous family, and my social media feed is constantly blessed with photos of those adorable young women. Tish is always sewing up something special for them, or having them model the latest creation. Handmade by Tish has new listings appear every week, and many are one of a kind. If you see something you missed out on, or have an idea for a style or color pattern you'd like to see Tish loves to do custom requests. Tish isn't a big 'hotshot' Etsy seller yet, so every sale is truly special to her and her family!
