my guest today is two years in the making!  during the first Vintage May, a gal named Celina of petit á petit and family emailed me to see if she could add a few photos to our flickr group of things she’d sewn a while ago.  at that time, she only rarely blogged her sewing, but she was already making quite the name for herself on Pinterest.  that’s where we first found each other (she now has almost 3 million Pinterest followers, holy cow!!!).  in the two years since, Celina has been sewing a LOT more regularly, and her impeccable taste quickly got her noticed in our little community!  she seems to be involved all sorts of cool projects these days – she’s both co-creator of STYLO magazine and designer in the very cool Willow & Co. pattern collective, both of which are the new hotness.

i love how Celina uses color and pattern and always tries new things – this outfit blew me away, as did this one, and all of this was so great too!  i love how she really commits with her photography and styling.  Celina is just an inspiring person with tons of ideas, and i love people like that.  they push everyone around them to be more creative!

for her post today, Celina made a fantastic swimsuit and fancy coverup inspired by 70s bohemian style for her daughter – and its all gorgeous!  go see!

rumor has it there’s a pattern in the works, too!  awesome.

you know the drill – head on over to craftiness is not optional to check out the beautiful garment Jess’ guest made today!
