Jul Designs

This past Saturday we held a very well received event highlighting Jul Designs. Laura, the owner of Jul, came to show us all how to wear our shawls, and other garments, anchoring and accessorizing with Jul Pieces. After the event we filled the bulletin board with many styling ideas. Come take a look, and choose your own Jul pieces to add to your wardrobe.
