<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Howdy y&#8217;all! I&#8217;m in Austin, Texas this week attending the <a title="SXSW Interactive and Music festival" href="http://sxsw.com/" target="_blank">SXSW Interactive and Music festival</a>. Over the weekend, I was able to attend the <a title="Texas Style Council" href="http://www.texasstylecouncil.com/" target="_blank">Texas Style Council</a> where I met so many of my favorite bloggers. It was great to finally meet them IRL. All the girls I met were so sweet and dressed so well! Anyways, I just wanted to do a quick update. Follow me on <a title="Francesca's Collections Twitter" href="https://twitter.com/shopfrancescas" target="_blank">Twitter</a> and <a title="Francesca's Collections Facebook page" href="https://www.facebook.com/francescascollectionsboutique" target="_blank">Facebook</a> if you want to know what I&#8217;m up to while I&#8217;m in Austin.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The month of February flew by so quickly! This past month, I had the pleasure of working with some lovely ladies. These gals all have a unique sense of style but all share the love for Francesca&#8217;s.</p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><em><a title="Blogger, Shannon Weel of Shannon Hearts" href="http://shannonhearts.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Shannon Neel of Shannon Hearts</a></em></span></strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://francescascollections.files.wordpress.com/2012/02/shannon.jpg"><img class="aligncenter  wp-image-5123" title="Shannon Weel of Shannon Hearts blog wearing a skirt and cardigan from Francesca's Collections" src="http://francescascollections.files.wordpress.com/2012/02/shannon.jpg?w=345&#038;h=528" alt="Shannon Weel of Shannon Hearts blog wearing a skirt and cardigan from Francesca's Collections" width="345" height="528" /></a></p>
<p>Shannon worked as an interior designer and is a proud mother of two (can you believe it?!). I love her mix and match nautical look where she is wearing our <a href="http://www.francescascollections.com/product/gone+sailing+skirt.do" target="_blank">Gone Sailing Skirt</a> and <a title="Francesca's Collections Smooth Sailing Cardi" href="http://www.francescascollections.com/product/smooth+sailing+cardi.do" target="_blank">Smooth Sailing Cardi</a>.</p>
<p><em>How would you describe your style?</em><br />
My style is natural and feminine. I love floral prints, flowy skirts, and pretty colors. I&#8217;m a total girly girl.</p>
<p><em>Where do you get your inspiration from?</em><br />
Since I love fashion and photography, I find my inspiration in nature. The colors that I am drawn to in fashion are the same ones that capture my eye when I&#8217;m taking pictures.</p>
<p><em>If you were stuck in a deserted island and were only allowed to bring two items, what do you bring with you?</em><br />
Sunblock and chocolate <img src='http://s0.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><em><a title="Blogger, Stephanie Hargis of Take Hart blog" href="http://take-hart.com" target="_blank">Stephanie Hargis of Take Hart</a></em></span></strong></p>
<p><a href="http://francescascollections.files.wordpress.com/2012/02/stephanie.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-5124" title="Stephanie Hargis of Take Hart blog wearing a jacket from Francesca's Collections" src="http://francescascollections.files.wordpress.com/2012/02/stephanie.jpg?w=500&#038;h=349" alt="Stephanie Hargis of Take Hart blog wearing a jacket from Francesca's Collections" width="500" height="349" /></a></p>
<p>Stephanie first grabbed my attention with her fire-red hair. She was wed June of 2010 and is the mom to two adorable bunnies. Here she&#8217;s wearing of our Golden Cropped Coat for those chilly days in Kentucky.</p>
<p><em>How would you describe your style?</em><br />
I would describe my style as ultra feminine and vintage inspired with just a little bit of a modern edge! A bright hair color adds a little edge to any outfit right? <img src='http://s1.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';)' class='wp-smiley' />  Empire waistlines, brightly colored tights, and hair bows are just a few favorite style staples of mine. I like a lot of texture and layering as well!</p>
<p><em>Where do you get your style inspiration from?</em><br />
My mom is a huge source of my style inspiration and is quite literally where I &#8220;get it from&#8221;! She learned to sew when she was really little and began creating her own designs as a teenager. I grew up looking at photos of how she dressed in her twenties and now that I am the age that she was in a lot of the older photos, I can see that I&#8217;ve incorporated a lot of her style into my own! I even have (and wear) some of the things she made back then!</p>
<p><em>Do you have any hidden talents?</em><br />
I do have a hidden talent! Are you ready for this? I can sing the 50 United States in alphabetical order. Man, that is really going to come in handy some day &#8211; I just know it.</p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;"><em><a title="Blogger, Alison Coglianese, of Chain Strap Purse" href="http://www.chainstrappurse.com/" target="_blank">Alison Coglianese of Chain Strap Purse</a></em></span></strong></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://francescascollections.files.wordpress.com/2012/02/alison.jpg"><img class="aligncenter  wp-image-5125" title="Blogger, Alison Coglianese, of Chain Strap Purse in a blouse from Francesca's Collections" src="http://francescascollections.files.wordpress.com/2012/02/alison.jpg?w=345&#038;h=528" alt="Blogger, Alison Coglianese, of Chain Strap Purse in a blouse from Francesca's Collections" width="345" height="528" /></a></p>
<p>Alison is a Washington, DC fashion blogger with a double major in political science and communications. She started Chain Strap Purse as a creative outlet for her love of fashion and style. She styled our Lucky Stars blouse with gold and ivory bangles and booties.</p>
<p><em>How would you describe your style?</em><br />
I would definitely consider my style classic with a dash of trendy. I have my wardrobe staples &#8211; blazers, skinny jeans, point-toe pumps, etc., but I like to mix in fun, of-the-moment pieces as well. I would also say I&#8217;m more on the preppy side, but I really enjoy balancing that out with edgier accessories. It&#8217;s really all about what I feel comfortable and most like &#8220;me&#8221; in!</p>
<p><em>Where do you get your style inspiration from?</em><br />
My inspiration comes from everywhere! Other bloggers, friends, people on the street, magazines &#8211; you name it! I love collecting a variety of ideas from all different places and then coming up with something that fits my personal style. Sometimes it&#8217;s as simple as a color combination that makes me want to put an outfit together!</p>
<p><em>If you were stuck in a deserted island and were only allowed to bring two items, what do you bring with you?</em><br />
Sunscreen, because I have very fair skin and burn easily, and my husband. I know, I know, he&#8217;s not an item. Is that cheating? Regardless, I couldn&#8217;t live without either!</p>
<p><em><strong><a title="Kate Gabrielle, Scathingly Brilliant" href="http://www.scathingly-brilliant.blogspot.com" target="_blank">Kate Gabrielle of Scathingly Brilliant</a></strong></em></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://francescascollections.files.wordpress.com/2012/03/kate-gabrielle.png"><img class="aligncenter  wp-image-5163" title="Kate Gabrielle of Scathingly Brilliant blog wears a polka dotted skirt from Francesca's Collections" src="http://francescascollections.files.wordpress.com/2012/03/kate-gabrielle.png?w=378&#038;h=587" alt="Kate Gabrielle of Scathingly Brilliant blog wears a polka dotted skirt from Francesca's Collections" width="378" height="587" /></a></p>
<p>Kate is another blogger with awesome hair! I love that she styles her hair in a pink bouffant daily. Her illustrations are pretty cool too. You can buy some of her 1920s inspired illustrations on her <a title="Flaperdoodle Etsy store" href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/flapperdoodle" target="_blank">Etsy shop</a>.</p>
<p><em>How would you describe your style?</em><br />
Dainty, vintage inspired and spunky</p>
<p><em>Where do you get your inspiration from?</em><br />
My inspiration comes mostly from Clarissa Explains It All&#8230; I don&#8217;t dress like her, really, but I loved how much fun she had with her clothes, and how content she was with not &#8220;fitting in&#8221;.</p>
<p><em>Any hidden talents you&#8217;d like us to know?</em><br />
I can move things with my mind, and turn any object into a potato by twitching my nose.</p>
