I love a good wrap skirt. It’s a classic style that will forever be one of my favorites. As you know, Fashion Not Fear, is not about fast fashion. 👎🏾
I’ve recently started a try on session where I walk into my dream closet and try on a Fashion Not Fear piece.
Here’s a look at when I tried on the Gallant Skirt.

Summer isn’t over, yet. Let’s be honest, we’ve been stuck in the house for so long that sitting by a pond with a cocktail in a can sounds like a vacation! Plus, it’s always sunshine somewhere, so a coverup can be somewhat of a fashion necessity, right??
Well, when you find yourself poolside (or pond side) you can’t forget your coverup. Its just as important as the actual swimsuit.
Not too long ago, a sketch of the collection was dropped. Although there have been some changes to it.
Get your can of wine and bathing ready and check out the new Fashion Not Fear Coverup Collection.
The Up & Down Sarong is a bit beyond what you would consider maxi length. This gives you the option of tying it multiple ways. Around the cheats, waist, or neck.
If you’re more of a shorts person, then the Wild Child Set is the way to go! It has a zebra pattern that is so unique and you can wear the top with other pieces you already have in your closet.
The Network Coverup is like adding a layer while keeping everything on display. It’s when you covering up without covering up. From the hot pink color to the one arm sleeves, this piece will grab their attention.
When you’re looking for all glamour and drama…you will want to cover yourself in The Muu. It’s made of a chiffon material and ties on each side. It graces the floor and screams girly!
Which is your favorite? Let me know in the comments…

Weddings seem to be finally back on after they came to a screeching halt due to COVID. Although, I myself had to have a courthouse wedding due to the pandemic. Can’t wait for a do-over in a beautiful gown (but I’ll save that story for another day).
If you find yourself back to receiving invites and not knowing what to wear. Don’t stress yourself. Stay in and let us do all of the work. Here are some ideas on what to wear the next time you’re on the guest list. And they can be sent right to your doorstep, of course.
If none of these do it for it, try out the only jumper we have, the Too Tied Jumper. It’s cute and you can’t go wrong in black. 🤷🏽♀️. Oh and don’t forget the tissue.

A few months back, I held the first of many Custom Dress Giveaway. The winner was sent sketches of 3 different looks to choose from.
The winner chose option B. After picking the style, she was also given the opportunity to select their color and fabric choices. She was sent photos of various colors and printed fabrics.
She ultimately said she wanted a color combination of red and purple. Also, that she wanted it be made from a satin material.
Take a look at how the completed dress turned out…
Thoughts on the dress? Would do you like or dislike about it?? Will you be entering the next giveaway?? (Which will be announced very soon) Let me know in the comments…

A couple of weeks ago, the Wild Child Coverup Set dropped. And it has been a hit! I’m so excited about the love this set has received.
I didn’t see myself getting much use of it this Sumner because I’m not ready to take my baby to the pool. However, my husband convinced me to sit by the pool for an evening drink a few days ago and I agreed. Not knowing that my hair was gonna get splashed like crazy! And if there’s one thing my hair doesn’t like it’s pool or ocean water. It’s an absolute mess once it gets wet.
Lucky for me, I wore the Wild Child Top over my swimsuit top.
The hoodie saved my life. No…really!
The hoodie is everything! No one knew how much of a mess this hair was when we left. Walking away with baby on the hip and holding my husbands hand. I left as stylish as I came. I’d say it’s worth it. 🤷🏽♀️

The official first day of Summer is June 20th! And I know plenty of us are already enjoying sunny days. There is also another thing that some of us are enjoying or can’t wait to enjoy and that’s some pool or beach time.
We some restrictions letting up and vaccines on the rise. Getting out of the house and laying out by the pool or at the beach sounds like a good time!
With that being said, there was only one thing for a fashion designer to do at a time like this. And that’s make swimsuit coverups…of course. 🤷🏽♀️
The coverup is just as important (if not more) than the swimsuit you are wearing.
Here is a sketch of the pieces that are dropping in The Coverup Collection.
I promise the actual piece will look better than the sketch. Hey, I’m a designer not an illustrator.🤷🏽♀️
The Wild Child Set will be released tomorrow. So be sure to check it out at Blue Labels Boutique.
Will you be laying out poolside or at the beach in a coverup this Summer? Which one looks more like your style?? Let me know in the comments…

The handmade Fashion Not Fear Collection, isn’t the only thing that’s handmade at Blue Labels Boutique.
I put my hands on as many things as I can, sanitized hands, of course. But I do it for a few reasons…I love to put my personal spin on things and when it’s done by hand, it’s not like everything else you see out there.
Here are 3 things created by hand, besides the FNF Collection.
The clothing labels sewn inside the Fashion Not Fear pieces. They are created on a computer, cut out, ironed onto fabric, and stitched inside the clothes.
Each piece is steamed before being put in the mail. This just helps to ensure you receive the item as pristine condition as possible. Of course it will wrinkle in the mail but having less wrinkles won’t hurt.
Thank you notes. Each order is sent with a handwritten card expressing gratitude for you spending your hard earned money with Blue Labels Boutique. I know you can spend your money anywhere so it’s important to let you know how much I appreciate it.

The Audacious Dress just dropped in the Fashion Not Fear Collection. It mixes the classics of gold buttons and maxi length with a beautiful vintage inspired, printed fabric.
I previously shared the original sketch that was to be made with puffy sleeves. But after taking a poll on IG, I decided to nix the sleeves.
So glad I did…
Size small already sold out! Only size medium and large remains. As you know, pieces in the Fashion Not Fear Collection are limited so grab yours while you can.

Not too long ago, I posted a sketch of a new dress being made for the Fashion Not Fear Collection.
I’ve really been wanting to get my followers more involved in the process of making this dress. Everyone has options they want to share. And I love hearing them!
The first question I asked on IG stories was whether to go with a solid or a printed fabric.
Printed fabric won by a landslide. So, I took a lot of time to find a vintage inspired fabric to make this dress out of.
After getting advice on the fabric, I posted another question a few days ago to get advice.
The bodice was being made. After putting on one sleeve, I left the other one off to ask, “Should the dress be made with or without sleeves?”
100% voted to go with no sleeves. That’s what I was thinking. Which is why I asked. Plus, it’s gonna hit almost 100 degrees this week. So, this girl wants her arms out.
Be sure to follow me on IG so you can be apart of the next creation. Plus, there is an AWESOME giveaway happening on there right now. Look for the post on our page.
This look will be finished this weekend. I’m so excited to share it with you. Thoughts on the changes?? Let me know in the comments…

A few days ago, I shared a sketch of the next dress being made for the Fashion Not Fear Collection.
In that post, the question was asked if the dress should be made from a printed material or a solid color material. The poll question was also asked on IG story. Print won by an overwhelming margin on both platforms.
After you helped to pick a fabric style, my search was on! I knew I wanted something that was rich in color. But also something that has sort of a vintage look.
Well, without further ado…check out the fabric that was selected.
It has colors of green, yellow, white, navy, orange and specks of other colors too. I searched high and low for a textile that would match the look I was going for. And this one nailed it!
And so the sewing is about to begin. Can’t wait for you to see this one completed. What are your thoughts on the fabric? Let me know in the comments…
