You know by now that I love clothing that is bright, loud, and filled with personality. So when I saw a short film by Documinute about the uber-glamorous Tamryn, I knew that this was a lady that I desperately needed to reach out to. Her kaftans are unique, colourful, and made with so much love.
I am honoured to feature this creative being on my blog, and I hope that you love these gorgeous kaftans as much as I do.

- I am the ULTIMATE ROMANTIC ~ I turn everything into a love story. From the simple act of eating a GOLDEN DELICIOUS apple…to strolling through the garden … ” GARDEN OF EDEN ” A trip to the Plaza for me it like a magic carpet ride with Aladdin and Rajah, and the Golden lamp filled with a million wishes.
- NIKNAKS are my kryptonite (not sure of spelling ????) Especially if they are 2 days old and a little stale. I can eat a whole bag while binging a soppy love story! Definitely my favorite snack attack!
What does your business do: Dollhouse is all about playing dress-up! When naming the business I imagined A pirate ship filled with many a Sailor. The bashed up against the rocks ???? and pulled themselves up onto the shore….
In the distance a sparkly house sat upon the cliff. Twinkling lights and the smell of creamy cakes and sugary pudding whispered through and lured them closer. The Sailors made their way to see who live in this DOLLHOUSE of dreams. The Dolls invited them in and they feasted and danced and sang till dawn. With full belly’s and sugary mustaches…. The Sailors left satisfied and brighter – layered in pearls and lace and party frocks in every colour….
Where did the passion for these kaftans come from: Dollhouse is about standing out in the crowd…being the leader of your own parade…. flowers in your hair and a rainbow of colours that flounce and dance puon your body. It’s a lifestyle ????????????

Getting to know Tamryn, Dollhouse, and the true colourful beauty that lives within every piece and those that are lucky enough to own one has been such a joy. As I have spent time browsing her website, as well as the hours spent lusting after everything posted on her social media, I was reminded again of the importance of wearing clothing that makes you happy, excited, and confident.
And to me, this is truly what Dollhouse embodies.
