IHOD featured in Chicago Collections Magazine!


(Style Spreads by country)

"Our Trend department highlights the season's must-have looks that can be achieved with key items found in Chicago stores."

1) Alexander McQueen Fall 2010
2) Noelle Leone Collection Gladiator Ring
3) Bumble and Bumble Sumo Wax
4) In Honor of Design Hair Pins 
5) Deola Sagoe Aso-Oke Dress

Believe me, when I found out that one of my designs would be featured in the Trend Section of Chicago Collections Magazine, I was amazed. When I found out I would be on the same page as Alexander McQueen??! ...I about fainted. To say this is humbling would be an understatement. I am so incredibly grateful for such an honor. 

How it happened: The "trend scout" for the magazine walked into Mr. & Mrs. Boutique in Chicago, where IHOD accessories are sold. She eyed the hair pins, snapped some shots, and decided they would be featured in the next issue! So, I owe a HIGE thank you to Emily, the manager of the fabulous boutique. (If you are in Chicago, check it out!!) Needless to say, the hair pins started to fly off the shelves. How fun! So now, I continue to dream big, and ask God to bless the small efforts and time I have for this business. He continues to amaze me...

Happy Friday everyone! Please consider submitting your items for the Handmade Holiday Gift Guide!
