Girls Supporting Girls ft. Things I’ve Made, Wild Public, and Ali & Ariel

Hi beauties!  Welcome to another week here on the Allison in Wonderland blog.  I’m so excited to share today’s post with you!  Over the weekend, I had the opportunity to meet another Maryland lifestyle blogger for the first time, shoot on-location in a place I’ve never been, and work with three incredible female-founded t-shirt brands all in the same day.  Keep reading to hear all about my exciting shoot!

Meet Mary.  She’s the cutie next to me in the photo below!  Mary is the blogger babe behind a blog called Easily Inspired (click here to check it out).  We connected online a few months ago and immediately started planning this collaboration!  It’s always fun working with other local creatives that have a similar vision and it was awesome getting to meet her in real life.  Her Instagram feed is killer too – check it out here!

The first brand I want you all to know about is called Things I’ve Made (click here).  Things I’ve Made is run by a girl named Caroline Artime and she’s the sweetest!  She’s so nice to work with and her merchandise is so, so cute.  One of her newest tees is the RAD tee both Mary and I are wearing in the photos above.  It’s amazingly soft and perfect for spicing up a casual jeans-and-tshirt look.  Caroline was even nice enough to give you all a discount code!  For this weekend only, if you use the code RAD15, you’ll get 15% off your RAD shirt.  Hurry and go scoop one up!  You won’t regret it.

The next brand we collaborated with for this post is called Wild Public (click here).  Wild Public is an Etsy shop that was opened in 2017 by a beauty named Kara and she sells tons of graphic tees.  One thing that I love about this brand is they donate 10% of their proceeds and that’s a lot for a small company.  It just makes me want to support them even more!  I had the hardest time picking out which tees I wanted to get but I ended up choosing two – one that says Ladies Unite and one that says Happy Camper.  Scroll through the photos below to take a peek at them – they’re adorable!  Also, if you sign up for Wild Public’s email list, you’ll get 15% off your first order.  Woohoo!

The third t-shirt company we partnered with is Ali & Ariel (click here).  I wish I had known about this company while I was in college because they have so many cute options for big and little sorority gear!  The shirt I’m wearing from Ali & Ariel is the pink one that says “Classic” across the front.  This tee is one of my favorites!  It’s so different from any other graphic tee that I have and I also like that I can still make a statement even though I’m only wearing a t-shirt.  You’re definitely going to want to check this shop out – especially if you’re in a sorority!

To wrap up the final details of our shoot, I want to tell you about the location we shot at because Mary and I really hit the jackpot with this one.  It’s called the Hummingbird Inn and it’s AMAZING.  The Hummingbird Inn is located on the Eastern Shore of Maryland, in Easton.  Click here to check out their website – they even have a blog too!  We found it on Airbnb when we were scouting locations and their Crisfield Room was just what we were looking for.  It’s decorated in a very mid-century modern style and we fell in love the moment we laid our eyes on it.  We coordinated everything with Eric, the owner, and he couldn’t have been any nicer.  His Yelp reviews are second to none and his Instagram features the tastiest food you could ever imagine.  I will definitely be going back to the Hummingbird Inn as soon as I can to stay as a guest!

That’s all for today’s blog post.  I hope you enjoyed reading about a few of my favorite creative, female-founded brands!  I’ll be back next Tuesday with a fashion post featuring another really fun brand.  Does anyone think they know what brand I’ll be featuring?
