What is HAROLD of Minnesota? It’s the new label that I have been developing since last fall, and it is almost ready for debut. Harold, named for my ever so wonderful fiance, is a collection of casual accessories for day. One may say that it is the brother line to NELLE. The new label will debut on April 15, during the Harold launch party, hosted by W7 Collective in St. Paul, MN.
Are you dying to know more, to see the new line? Well this is one secret that I am not going spill early! Check back to learn more about the launch party & RSVP for your chance to win pieces from HAROLD, see the logo unveiling, and perhaps catch a glimpse of the new collection… perhaps.

This week I have been spending time with family along the coast of South Carolina, and though I have yet to get the chill out of my Minnesota bones I did get a chance to briefly explore Savannah today. Such a romantic and mysterious city.
Spanish moss covers nearly everything, giving the city a eerie threadbare appearance.
One of my MUST stops on the quick jaunt was the Savannah School of Art & Design, aka SCAD. We made it to the admissions office/ school shop , SCAD occupies near 70 buildings throughout the city and has played a huge role in restoring the architecture that makes Savannah so intriguing.
While at shopSCAD the Rectangle Puffy Frame (pictured below) created by Ashley Olson, a SCAD alumni, caught my eye. After some Googling I found out that she created the piece as part of Working Class Studio, a product development venture of SCAD. I also discovered that you can pick up the red version online at Target for $20 versus $55 or more. Luckily I don’t like the red version and will be acquiring the gray and cream version at some point.
All in all I fell pretty hard for Savannah and definitely would like to head back there for a 4 day weekend to explore some of the non-touristy parts of the city. As for SCAD….. I might hope that as I travel through my life I will get the opportunity to attend class there.
