Me: What do the contents of your bag say about you?
ChatGPT:
As a digital entity, I don't have a physical bag or possessions. However, if you're asking about what the contents of someone's bag might say about them, it can provide insights into their lifestyle, interests, and personality. Here are a few general interpretations:
Remember that these are just general observations, and individual choices can vary widely. Additionally, people may intentionally or unintentionally carry items in their bag that don't necessarily reflect their personality accurately.
Me: Tell me more
ChatGPT:
Certainly! Let's delve deeper into some specific items and what they might suggest about a person:
Remember that these interpretations are not absolute, and individual choices and preferences can vary widely. The context in which someone uses or carries these items is also essential for a more accurate understanding of their personality and lifestyle.
Me: What is the best hands-free bag for a minimalist on the go?
ChatGPT:
For a minimalist on the go, the best hands-free bag is typically one that is compact, versatile, and allows for easy access to essentials. Here are some options to consider:
Alrighty then! That was kinda fun. I think it hit the basic highlights for sure.
I have been testing out a new bag for the last couple of months for just those times.
May I present the Recycled Crossbody Bag:
First off, the size of these bags is perfect for carrying a bit more without burdening your shoulders nor feeling bulky or cumbersome (win).
Secondly, these bags are made from recycled cement bags and recycled feed bags (double win) and manufactured by a woman-owned company doing great things for their community (triple win!)
Let me show you what I've been carrying in my crossbody bag lately...
And YES these are the same folks that make the card holder wallets I told you about last week
So. Much. Good.
]]>Lest it be thought that colorful, patterned socks are a new modern whim of fashion, allow me to illustrate just how historic this phenomenon is.
Exhibit No. 1
On left: Late eighteenth century socks with clocks, meaning socks with embroidered designs.
On right: Mid-nineteenth century embroidered socks. Beautiful!

Exhibit No. 2
1890-1900 era socks with knitted plaid pattern. This is when socks really started to become popular. Previously stockings were worn, but with the shift in men's fashion from breeches to trousers, the shorter, sportier sock was preferred.

Exhibit No. 3
20th century socks. While this is a 1985 ad for stereos, these socks illustrate the crazy footwear of that colorful decade.
Well, there's your tiny sock history lesson for today.
Now it's time to jump to 2022 and peruse the Fun Socks at American Happy! Embrace this time-honored tradition of fanciful, decorated socks and have fun with your newfound sock/shoe combinations!

According to Vogue they're being worn with everything from 'power suits to sundresses.'
And though I'm not one to blindly take anyone's word as final when it comes to style, I'm here for it.
The Vogue article references street style at men's fashion week, but we all know trucker hats are genderless.
Trucker hats have that mesh back and sides that allow for air flow, and foam fronts that are lightweight. They're also something we should all have in our sun-protection arsenals along with a good sunscreen.
So have fun with your colorful American Happy Summer Snapback! It will make everyone around you smile, but most importantly, it will make you feel like smiling :-)
]]>Here in the Land of Fanny Packs, we are committed to feeling more free by carrying less. For some it's easy, and for some it takes a few tweaks and tries to make the adjustment.
Especially for women. Have you ever wondered how the average man just goes about his day with all he needs simply in his pockets? Why can't we women do the same? In analyzing my own life I've noticed:
a. Lack of adequate pockets in women's clothing (duh, obvs)
b. We find safety in being prepared, which equates to carrying all the things
c. Our purse acts as an emotional support pet...we're literally carrying around our baggage
Useless pockets! Purse dump...yikes!
Anywho, I'm not a psychologist, but I can offer some simple tips on how to try to extricate yourself from a heavy, bulky bag.
If you need to be prepared for the unknown, if you have small children, or if you'll be out of the house all day - try separating out what you don't need on your person. For example:
I hope this helps take some weight off of your body and your mind! Did I miss anything? I'd love to hear your tips for lightening your load!
Remember, keep it simple, keep it comfortable, keep it hands-free!

Friend, for you fashion is all about comfort. You like wearing clothes that let you move and groove – anything less is simply an irritant. Lucky for you, athleisure has never been hotter and there’s plenty of choices, but often your basic black yoga or hiking pants and technical windbreaker are trusted companions of choice on your journey down life’s highway.
Here’s the thing though, fashion isn’t just about utility, it’s an art form! Carrying your stuff hands-free is an absolute given, and depending on circumstances you can be found wearing a well-built backpack, daypack, or fanny pack. But on those short jaunts, a fun take on the utility fanny pack can be just the thing to add an extra spring in your step.
Your functional and fun fanny pack is just a click away...
"Style is something each of us already has, all we need to do is find it." –Diane von Furstenberg
Your favorite shops are estate sales, antique fairs, and flea markets and you know a rare vintage piece when you see one, be it clothing, jewelry, or furniture.
And while you may love a vintage leather fringe purse, your free spirit wants a simpler way to carry your essentials and that’s where the right style of fanny pack can set you free!
You can have vintage fashion and function, and it’s just a click away...
"Style is something each of us already has, all we need to do is find it." –Diane von Furstenberg
What do you need in a fanny pack? And effortlessly elegant shape. No over the top patterns or gaudy embellishments. Classic neutral colors, luxe textures, and definitely nothing too loud.
You believe minimalism doesn't have to be boring and experimenting with accessories is your superpower! Trying out a fun bag - like a fanny pack in a high-end fabric - is just the simple solution you need!
Your chic, classy style fanny pack is just a click away...
"Style is something each of us already has, all we need to do is find it." –Diane von Furstenberg
You are fun-loving and laugh easily. Your youthful spirit comes out and brightens everyone’s day!
When it comes to fashion, you're all about individuality. You gravitate toward bright, bold color-blocked patterns, and things that remind you of carefree childhood times. There’s a good chance you have a vintage Hawaiian shirt and at least one pair of Converse sneakers in your closet.
You don't mind making a statement. You experiment with unique patterns and textures, mixing and matching them to your heart's content. And when it comes to accessorizing, you think literally.
A fanny pack is a familiar style idea for you, reminiscent of the vibrant 1980’s. And while you like nostalgia, you’re bound to bring your retro style into current times with some modern updates.
Since you always seek out the fun, you prefer a way to carry your stuff that's easy and lets you be free. Your fanny pack is your superpower!
Finding your perfectly modern throwback-style fanny pack is just a click away...

I know it's not here quite yet, but SPRING is my favorite season! I live for the fresh air, warmer temperatures, and new growth spring brings.
And I'm always excited to work on a fresh batch of fun and happy products for the shop that can help you feel lighter and bring smiles.
Here are some things you can look forward to from American Happy in the coming months:
The cold winter months can be hard on my psyche, so I really like to keep my hands busy. This winter I found joy through piecing these wonderful enameled-metal bits and findings into bag charms.
What's a bag charm, you ask? It's a little dangly ornament for your fanny pack, purse, backpack, etc. that makes you smile when you see it. You could also wear it as a pendant or hang it on your rear view mirror.
My new Bag Charms have a super-colorful, nostalgic feel that kinda makes you feel like a kid again with rainbows, hearts, balloon dogs, gummy bears, etc.
Limited quantities will be dropping in the shop in time for Valentine's Day (cuz they make a sweet gift!)
Enamel pins are a cute little sum-sumthin' that can really add a bit of joy. Some new ones, as well as a restock on popular favorites is due late-February.
I've got a fresh order of rainbow-hued caps coming to add my colorful, vintage fabrics to for some NEW Summer Snapbacks. Obviously they're not just for summer, but all the colors will definitely be hot!
I always have so much fun playing with vintage fabrics and I'm also making my own fabrics by printing patterns on canvas. Expect a super fun selection of Fanny Packs late March - early April!
That's it for now! If you want early access to all product drops, and to stay in the know, sign up for the email newsletter with the form below --
]]>Pins can be hard to keep in stock, especially when I take them to in-person markets. They're just so small and cute, and an easy way to express the things you love.
I look for and design pins with a retro vibe and in happy motifs.
They are the perfect addition to your hat, jacket, backpack, and of course, fanny pack!
Popular styles have now been restocked and a few new ones have arrived. Quantities are limited so shop now for best selection!
Grab a couple, pop 'em on and off you go.
]]>noun: niche: something (such as a sheltered or private space) that resembles a recess in a wall.
I tend to pronounce niche "neesh," but since "nitch" rhymes with bitch I'll say it that way for this story.
It's time for American Happy to niche.
Really position itself in that cool little space that seems made just for it.
Like a telephone niche in an old house:
Okay who cares? What does this mean? The big thing (for me anyway) is that I've decided not to do clothes anymore. Not never, but not now or in the near future.
This feels big because I've spent my career identifying as a fashion designer...who makes clothes. But the reality is that I've spent my career making all kinds of fashion and other sewn products. I actually have a deep well of experience in bags, backpacks, and outdoor gear - experience I undervalued in my 20's as I was pursuing my dream of being an apparel designer. (Feel free to have a laugh over the story of my terrible first fanny packs.)
Have you ever had something you simply must do, even if you know it's not entirely on track? Even while I was developing the recent *Collection I* it felt like a diversion from the goals of American Happy. But it was something I was compelled to get out of my system. And now it's been released and it's time to move forward.
Aaaaaanyway...I'm niche-ing American Happy into the most happy little wall pocket where colorful, vintage fabrics, nostalgia-inspired, joyful, high quality, fashion accessories will live.
I'm so happy to have you here and would be over the moon if you were a newsletter subscriber. In return for your email address you'll get first notice of every limited edition product drop / launch / release that we do.
Here's to more niche-ing, less bitching!
This is still at the heart of the American Happy mission: Simple joys by way of color, nostalgia, and whimsy made by human hands.
Cultivating style is a process unique to each individual. If joyfulness is a part of that for you and color, nostalgia, and whimsy resonate, then jump on board!
It's a rarity to see the same thing twice at American Happy because most products are made with small, sourced cuts of vintage fabrics. Which makes being on the email newsletter list a must for scoring the items you want.
SO, in celebration of our 2-year birthday, we're having a CLEARANCE SALE...some items are being discontinued and we're also making room for all the new stuff coming for the holiday season!Email subscribers always get advance notice of product launches!
Exact days of the clearance sale will be announced in advance via email. And additional sale items will most likely be added throughout the month.
Check out our Instagram for some sneak peeks behind the curtain ;-)
So happy birthday American Happy! Long live things of joy! It makes me so happy to bring a few of these things to you.

Around this time every year I try to embrace the change of season, do a little regrouping, and start preparing for the holiday season (I know, I know, "too soon!")
Here are some things you can look forward to from American Happy in the coming months:
A couple new caps are coming your way later in September while I transition to a new cap supplier. Looking forward to having a good selection going into the new year.
Estimated sock drop is mid-to-late October and includes some fun new prints and patterns - always in fun colors!
I'm having so much fun playing with all the fabrics and styles...this will be a super fun selection! Expect a great variety between now and Christmas.
Enamel pins are a small little something that can really add a bit of joy. Some new ones, as well as a restock on popular favorites is due sometime in October.
That's it for now! If you want early access to all product drops, and to stay in the know, sign up for the email newsletter --
]]>Just here to say real quick that as August creeps in it's okay to call a self-appointed TIME OUT.
Perhaps it's a vacation.
Or a quick road trip.
Or simply pausing longer over the morning coffee.
What do you do to hit the reset button? What do you surround yourself with to feel happy/at peace/joyful?
Even just thinking of these things can bring a change of mood or perspective, if we just allow ourselves a tiny slice of time to consider them.
It can be a challenge, but hit that pause button, friends!
~Jules
Color always draws my eye, and my friend's garden is no exception (above, which my photo does not come close to capturing its beauty). It inspires me to bring items like these into the shop:
Rainbow Arm Candy Bracelets available in singles, pairs, or a trio.
Oh yes the ol' socks with sandals topic.
We know by now, in fashion, that what was once gauche will at some point be chic.
As for socks with sandals, it's not about if it's fashionable. It's about how you do it. The colors, patterns, and textures of the socks combined with the right shoe is what makes this look fun.
Play with the combinations and have fun!

I'm always fascinated by how we, as humans, dress - currently, in the recent past, in the ancient past - and especially how that informs our future.
Every summer I teach an Historic Costume course and as we study the past 2000 years for our human behavioral patterns with regard to clothing ourselves, we can make some forecasts about the future.
Edwardian fashions c. 1900-1910
It tends to get very technical and scholarly, but the main thing to know is that everything people wear comes within context of the zeitgeist, "the spirit of the times." (Ask my students, they'll tell you it's my favorite word).
Anyway, as this past year has placed a marker in history, I've been diving into how we shop, what clothing we buy, how we put our wardrobe together, is it a conscious process or partially-conscious, etc. What exactly is the current zeitgeist?
I don't know anyone who shops at just one store for what they wear. I know very few people who shop at just one type of store for what they wear. Many of us shop a combination of:
and there's probably more I'm not even thinking of. To me, this is the new reality of fashion design and merchandising. The zeitgeist. This is the underlying stuff I think about when designing, and the root of how I am building this current collection.
This collection is built on rejecting the notion that new and secondhand are completely separate. I believe they integrate.
This collection - which I started calling "Spring '21" but have now shifted to calling it less specifically "Collection I" - is built on rejecting the notion that new and secondhand are completely separate. I believe they integrate. The most interesting fashion looks are a combination of things.
Mood board imagery
And placing a collection within a season and year is traditional, yes, but it is also limiting (and sometimes wasteful). For example, you have a "summer" sundress you love but also want to wear it in the winter. The design of it should allow you add, say a turtleneck and tights and suddenly, boom! Seasonless.
This is one concept of multi-functional, season-transgressing garments I can feel good about sending into the world. I also firmly believe that adding practicality to fashion doesn't have to decrease it's fun. Functional clothing doesn't have to be boring.
So that's the foundation for this collection: functional + seasonless + new + secondhand. I'm really looking forward to sharing more details and photos with you in the coming weeks.
If you'd like insider updates on this collection and first access to it when it launches, be sure you're signed up on the email list below.
And hey, if you're interested in that Historic Costume class I mentioned, it starts June 7th online via Butte College. Search up course FASH 74 for Summer 2021.
More next week, friends!

Mood board in progress...
A few weeks back I was quite honored to be asked if American Happy wanted to make some fanny packs for the hard-working volunteers at Safe Space Winter Shelter.
Safe Space Winter Shelter is a non-profit organization providing low-barrier emergency shelter from December through March for people experiencing homelessness in Chico, California.
Now, this is one badass group of really caring and super fun folks, and it was their collective spirit that inspired each and every bag.
I knew I wanted the packs to be really durable, so I called upon my background in outdoor gear and got to work assembling bags in a variety of colored pack cloth with a retro 80's feel. Since there were 25 bags to make, I also called in some help and we got to work!
First, color-blocking the pack cloth:
AND NOW...if you love these bags as much as I do, you have a chance to get one for yourself. As I mentioned above, I made 2 extra...
Oh, and in case you were wondering how the volunteers liked their fanny packs, here's a few shots of their post-season celebration at Cal Skate.
With love, happiness, and roller skates,
Jules
In this time of work from home, school from home, eat out from home, live at home, it can be hard to practice your usual creative expressions.
Take getting dressed for example. I recently asked on Instagram what your daily dressing strategy has been. I would say I was surprised by the results but I mean, who is really surprised by anything these days?
The options were basically "sweats all day erryday," "must get dressed," or "outfit mullet."
The outfit mullet is essentially "business on top, party on the bottom" so one looks business-appropriate from the waist up for a Zoom meeting, but is also comfortable in sweats and slippers below view of the camera.
So, 40% of responders replied that they prefer sweats, 40% said they have to get dressed, and 20% answered the outfit mullet. Personally, I'm an outfit mullet kind of gal so I did think there would be more fellow mullet-ers out there. But of course, to each their own!
Aaaaanyway, these results informed me that we can still express our fashion-y, creative selves no matter what camp you're in. Even if you want to wear a gray crew neck sweatshirt to work (yep, that's me below), there are always...accessories!
I've made it my recent mission to design and curate some fashion accessories to keep the joy going in however you choose to dress each day:
We may still be in varying stages of quarantine, but keep finding the small joys and by all means keep cultivating your unique style!

I'm joining up with my friend Beth from Beth Smith Textiles. She creates and sells fabulous skirts, which are surprisingly practical once you get to know them (ask me how I know!) I have been styling one of her skirts different ways all week and posting about it on Instagram. Anywho, we got together and started thinking what if we gave the chance to win one of the cotton skirts from her new line as well as one of my hand made detachable collars? How fun would that be?! I mean, they go great together (just like chocolate and peanut butter, baby!) It's a $270 value plus you get to choose the fabrics! Yes, it's amazing, it's true. The winner will be announced on Saturday February 20th so make sure you get entered right away! CLICK HERE TO ENTER |

There are so many joy-filled things I want to make and bring to you through American Happy but I recently had a little reality chat with myself. And what I had to face was that there are only 24 hours in a day and only so much one micro business can do at once.
So, I went to market! (Virtually of course, since face-to-face markets are not currently happening.) And I've sourced some cute, fun, and yes, joyful items for the shop! I hope you'll be as excited about them as I am.
It's all about bringing small joys to our day-to-day lives.
In the next few weeks and months you'll be seeing small items like more enamel pins, colorful hair accessories, cute stickers, and I'm super excited for FUN SOCKS.
Plus, I've got a couple of upcoming collaborations in the works, more fanny packs (of course!) AND I have a new fashion collection coming for Spring/Summer 2021 - more on that later! (Have a sneak peek at my current Spring '21 mood board)
Please stick around :-)

PSST! Hey, sign up below for earlybird access to all the new stuff coming!
On the cover of the January 15, 2021 issue of WWD this headline grabbed my attention:
I had to admit I was asking myself the same question - with all of the inauguration high security and threats of violence and the coronavirus and the economic crisis and working from home - does fashion really matter right now?
The article by Rosemary Feitelberg reports of the usual secrecy surrounding which American designers would get the distinction of dressing the incoming First Lady and the new Vice President. Early on, representatives of Dr. Biden and Ms Harris made it clear they were 'not interested in conveying a fashion message.'
Some designers and their teams suggested that now is not the time for fashion, while some noted the struggling fashion industry and the need for support. Designer Gabriela Hearst said,
"To say that to this industry that employs so many people is a bit careless and dismissive. Yes, luxury can be hedonistic or a sensation. But as long as our species has had consciousness, we have been dressing ourselves and communicating through the way we dress"
She continues by stating that frivolous, hedonistic luxury goods may be over, but regarding things that are well made by factories and hands that need the work, some people are being too quick to judge. We have to remember that fashion is a business, and business means jobs and an exchange of money that helps the economy flow.
What a display!
The colors!
The dignity combined with joy was an absolute delight.
Wednesday and the days leading up to it were filled with beautiful, clear colors.
If that's not a fashion statement, I don't know what is. The symbolism of the spectrum of the rainbow as well as the monochromatic individual ensembles was a clear message of solidarity, unity, diversity, inclusivity, and downright optimistic joy.
Purple is often thought of as a color of political unity, being a combination of red and blue, and can also serve as a nod to the suffragette flag.
I was fixated on this headband the whole time, only eclipsed by the poetry itself. And I was enamored with her gestures and the amazing performance of bringing the words to life!
Lady Gaga in a custom Schiaparelli haute couture gown with the oversized brooch being an olive branch toting dove.
Designed by Gabriela Hearst, it featured embroidered flowers reflecting all of the state flowers of the United States and territories and the District of Columbia. Plus, it has a sustainability slant! Read about it here.
So, YES! Fashion matters! It matters very much because it is seen and it has meaning! And even though it may sound corny, fashion has the power to bring some gladness into your heart.
With heart-eyes,
Jules
