Congratulations to Sarah Kathryn of Etsy shop creatiate for the winning Elite16 Style Guide treasury!  You might be wondering what a 'style guide' has to do with a 'treasury' - let us explain this Etsy lingo.  Etsy has a cool tool that you can use to curate mini galleries (a treasury) using 16 of your favorite items - it's a bit like creating a virtual collage.  We call them 'style guies' because they are a super handy way to shop the vast world of Etsy - we take you inside Etsy + present the items in a stylish layout!  We're a group of Etsy shop owners who meet up every month to have some fun showcasing some of our favorite shops.  We turn it into a challenge to mix it up + each month, we choose a winner!   This month's theme was "Falling Back Into Style" + we really love this style guide by Sarah Kathryn titled Layer Up.  Not only does her color palette evoke the coming of fall, but her chosen theme speaks to the style of fall - layered up!  Congratulations Sarah Kathryn! 

***

Each month, we are faced with the challenge of choosing just one winner.  It's never easy + so we always like to highlight some of our favorite style guides to share with you.  We had 71 submissions, so don't miss out on the entire collection of style guides - each one is unique!  This one here by Laura of Etsy shop mamableudesigns uses color to bring together her style guide that's all about going back to school.  If only all dorms could be this cool!  We love the fresh picks here Laura - we're feeling some dorm room envy!

Do you like to rotate your style based on the seasons?  As we transition into fall, earth tones in warm palettes take center stage.  Good bye to the bright + bold colors of summer as we welcome the shorter days + cooler nights, which bring rich gold + brown tones to life.  This style guide by Elena of Etsy shop FrenchFelt invites us to enjoy the crisp air of fall with her autumn inspired selections.  Invite the coming of fall with style + bring home something fresh!  With Elena's help, you can stay in tune with the seasonal trends!
