TWHS Reviews Jessie Steele's Goodie Two Shoes Apron


Goodie Two Shoes Apron from Jessie Steele

As little girls, we get our first taste of fashion from our mothers and grandmothers by playing dress up in their heels and makeup. We also learn the magic behind family recipes, often at the hem of the apron of matriarchs who mastered them. It's only fitting we also carry the tradition of donning aprons, merging fashion and function.

So you can imagine my joy when Jessie Steele - the premiere apron line for all things vintage and chic - shipped me their fun apron bedecked with heels called Goodie Two Shoes for review!

The women behind the apron line are Helena Steele and daughter Claire, who named the company after Helena's mother Joan and grandmother Jessie. Armed with her own private collection of vintage aprons, Helena saw the need in the modern woman's lifestyle to keep the tradition fresh and appealing.

When I put on my Goodie Two Shoes for the first time, I immediately noticed that the weight of the cotton is heavier than most of the aprons I own. The hot pink bow in grosgrain is discreetly attached on the hip pocket with a safety pin, so you can remove if you want. The extra long ties at both the neck and waist make for pretty bows, and the flirty skirt makes any kitchen chore more stylish!

Lest not forget the shoes; in the oh-so-currently hot trend of black and white, they also happen to be in my fave style of peep-toes! You will definitely cause shoe envy at your next party when you wear it.

I look forward to a holiday season of baking and hosting in my Goodie Two Shoes Apron, while embracing the memories of the women who empowered us in realizing what once was a dated stigma is now a timeless fashionable accessory.

Quick; What's a Five-Letter Word For Haute Apron?


E-V-I-T-A.

That's the name of this crossword apron from Sistahs Vintage Aprons, the chicest of online stores for hostess aprons!

Sistah Seamstress/Apron Aficionado Mauri Lewis puts her magic touch into the seams of a garment that has evolved from childhood memories to a modern-day hostess staple. Lewis creates styles that merge fashion and function.

I am the lucky recipient to receive one the three limited edition Evitas from the sassy collection of custom aprons. As a wordsmith - whose favorite room of the house happens to be the kitchen - there are no words to explain my joy!!!



This ain't your granny's apron; the attention to detail on Evita is ahmazing. The hip pocket is perfect to carry a notepad in, to jot down the names of new recipes (or what not to do for a recipe next time). And with a flirty flounce skirt and ample ties at both the neck and the waist to make pretty bows, I will be causing some serious apron envy this holiday season.

Check out the rest of the collection of bib, hostess and half apron styles, and cause some apron envy of your own.

Once I tied on Evita, I was so inspired that I baked this 15-letter word for a quick bread, bursting with citrus, seasonal fruit and walnuts:


I'm sorry; I meant to say cranberry orange. ~~"
