Alyssa Nickohl Designs Review & GIVEAWAY

From the moment I came across Alyssa Nickohl Designs I was in love! It's seriously just one of those shops that you stop and say "WOW, I love it all"! 

Karyn the designer & momma of Alyssa started sewing years back when Alyssa was just 2. Karyn was out of work for a year due to a back injury. After 20+ years of retail supervision/managment & LONG work hours she didn't know what to do with her time. So, she borrowed her moms sewing machine & the rest is history!

She started by making baby quilts & selling them on Ebay. Soon afterwards she stumbled upon girl's boutique clothing & she was in love! She self taught herself everything; her sweet Alyssa quickly became her model. Karyn ended up going back to Corporate America but decided Alyssa was her #1 priority and has gone to part time self employment. Just 2 years back she happened upon Etsy & her passion for sewing & designing came back full force. And thank goodness because just take a look at her gorgeous work...

Holiday 2011 Black Damask Ruffle Dress 

Karyn considers herself a fabricholic. She never has enough time to make what she's planning on; just not enough hours in the day.

Her love for sewing & fabric has been passed on to Miss Alyssa who no longer fits in to her momma's designs. But that doesn't stop her from having projects for momma; there's always something to design for her dolls or bears. Alyssa loves to accompany her mom fabric shopping & even sews herself. Creating pillows, blankets & even clothing that she loves to give as gifts.
Such a sweetie.

Just take a look at several of my fav's from her shop:


Just LOVE LOVE LOVE this outfit for Fall:

Fall BTS Tunic 

And isn't this so sweet for Halloween, which is right around the corner I must add...

Halloween 2011 T Shirt Dress

 And aren't these leggings so stinkin' precious

Ruffled Leggings

And for those without little girls, she even has something beautiful for your home.
I just love her home decor which includes some super gorgeous fall pumpkins

And did I mention that 10% of all her sales are donated to Enchanted Makeovers to buy Christian books for the children living in shelters. How awesome is that! I love shops like hers that are making a difference for others.

Karyn so generously sent Emma an absolute gorgeous Holiday 2011 Red Damask Ruffle Pant Set
that is probably the most adorable thing I've ever seen. So much so that I can't wait for cool weather so she can wear it.

 

I absolutely love the ruffle pants!
They completely make the outfit & Karyn even makes sure to finish it off with a boutique tag!

I can't even begin to rave enough about this outfit! There's no doubt it will receive tons of compliments & I will happily point everyone toward Alyssa Nickohl Designs. 
You are certainly getting a first class boutique item from her!

And now she has so generously offered to give
