Mint & Birch is a true small business success story. Mom, maker and geniuniely cool lady Jessica has grown her customizable jewelry business to a 6-figure earning enterprise. #Goals, right? I’ve interviewed over 50 small business owners (!!), and each time, I learn something new from these ladies I talk with; even though I’ve been […]

I’m a big believer in taking one step at a time, and that includes over the holidays. We tend to skip over Thanksgiving and right to the holidays, and it’s arguably my favorite holiday ever. But when the Christmas dresses for girls are this cute, how can you stand to wait to share them? I’m […]

I think we can all agree that tassel garlands make any party better. Whether tied to a giant balloon, or strung on a wall, garlands make any Instapic instantly cuter. When we shot the FW15 cuteheads Cotton Candy collection last year, I knew we wanted to be outside, but still bright and colorful to match […]

You know we’re all about cute dresses for kids around here, right? I have been designing and selling dresses for stylish little ones for 5 years now, and it’s incredible to see the cute pictures our customers take! But there’s no question: the icing on the proverbial cake of these adorable outfits is the cute kids […]

Friends, I am SO excited to be coming at you with another round of small business spotlights in my “10 Questions with…” series. It’s been quite some time since my last post, and I’ve been itching to share more behind the scenes info and interviews from my favorite small business owners. This series has reached […]

Growing up, who didn’t want a cool room with a cool bunk bed in it? I wanted a place where I could sleep that doubled as a secret hiding place, and back then, there were some awesome bunk beds that accomplished both of those things. Flash forward to now, and the cool kids rooms you can […]

It’s no secret that I love custom cuteheads orders, especially the all-important flower girl dress.
