Greetings Friends!

The Monkey Temple of Kathmandu, Nepal

In the interest of creating the grooviest line of clothing out there, we have been traveling the globe and opening our eyes, minds and hearts to everything around us. 

The Himalayas of Nepal

Over the past month we have traveled to India, Nepal, and Thailand. We met so many lovely people along the way and visited some of the most beautiful places we could ever imagine.

Koh Samui, Thailand

We feel so closely connected to our worldwide human family after such a wonderful journey, and are filled with positivity, enthusiasm and the ever present desire to give back to our planet and its fellow inhabitants.

Koh Phangan, Thailand

We encourage all of our Blue Sky friends and family to do whatever you can to help the planet. It all starts with one person.

Kathmandu, Nepal

 We are proud to support the following organizations:

The Amazon Center for Environmental Education and Research

Environmental Defense Fund

The Monkey Temple of Kathmandu, Nepal

We know that it's not always an option to donate money, so here is a link to a post we made a while back with 10 easy ways to give back to your community. Namaste'

Much love from your friends at Blue Sky :)

Butterflies and Blue Skies

We love making clothing that you can move around in. From yoga, to hiking, to dancing, to hooping, we make clothing to fit an active lifestyle.

Our Crop Yoga Pant is perfect for stretching it all out and feeling good while you're doing it.

Wear it as a dress or with leggings, and you'll be looking super groovy in our Butterfly Applique Hoodie Mini.

We've combined these two favorite items of ours to show you just how groovy we get here at Blue Sky. The music is The Grateful Dead performing 'Fire on the Mountain' on 11.26.1982. The entire show is available for free download at archive.org.

Much love and gratitude from your friends at Blue Sky <3

Get Moving!

We know that groovy girls like to stay active, so here at Blue Sky, we make clothes that you can do that in! Here's a day in the life of a Blue Sky Girl.

We like to start the day off right with a moment of clarity and some good stretching. Our Embroidered Flower Flares are the coolest yoga pants we've ever seen, and they're way comfy. What's not to love?

 After doing morning yoga, we just had to pick up a breakfast burrito from our favorite vegetarian restaurant in town. Luckily our trusty third-eye helmet kept us safe along the way.

With the groovy pants and bike, we made more than one passer-by smile!

Even though it's tempting to hide out inside in the air conditioning in the heat of the day, we've got to stay active, and luckily we've got the clothes to do it! Our all time favorite beach dress, It's a Wrap, is perfect for spinning around and getting loose in the summer sun.

We have added tons of items to our Sale section with new, lower prices that make looking groovy a lot easier, so check it out, and remember to Wear Blue Sky with Love! <3

The Art of Amanda Sage

Here at Blue Sky we are artists and students. We study truth and its' deep meaningful effect on our souls as well as the universe. Amanda Sage shares that same sentiment. Her visionary pieces focus on the feminine mystique and collective unconsciousness of our world. Amanda hails from Denver, CO but has spent time all over the globe, currently practicing in Vienna. Though her main studio is based in Los Angeles, Amanda can be seen at live painting at music festivals and exhibiting her work in galleries with other visionary artists.

'Mars' is a beautiful display of a fierce goddess. The color and line work in the piece keep the eye moving throughout the image. This piece seems simple compared to Amanda's later work, yet still has the fundamental pieces that make 'Mars' very much her own.

'Illuminance' is an impressionist piece that so beautifully captures the essence of a goddess. Her cascading rows of color once again keep the eye moving throughout the entire piece, constantly intrigued.

 2010's 'Daughter of the Divine Flow' marks an exciting time. The previous two images (the first from 2008 and second from 2009) display beautiful craftsmanship and technique, but around the era of 'Daughter of the Divine Flow' it seems that Amanda really began combining and layering the techniques that make her so unique, in turn creating a much more resolved and mature body of work that we just can't get enough of.

'Limbic Resonance' is a beautiful display of the force fields connecting us to ourselves, each other, and the universe. From the background of the planet all the way to the flowers in the woman's hair, every element is so carefully executed, making not only a piece that is aesthetically pleasing, but conceptually stimulating as well.

2012's 'Spirit' brings us to Amanda's most recent collection. We are reminded of so many different things when we view this piece. Most notably would be the Egyptian collar reference on the neck of the spirit, as well as the Black Rock City, Nevada landscape.


We encourage you to check out her website here to view some more of her work. Make Art Not War!

Throw Down Your Heart

We've always loved the way Béla Fleck plays the banjo, but after seeing his film, Throw Down Your Heart, we are taken aback by the beauty of Béla's trip to Africa. In the documentary, Béla brings the banjo back to its' birthplace. It's so funny that we usually associate the banjo with a southern, country music sound when it's roots are in Africa. Once we heard the banjo accompanied by some of the best musicians in Africa, we could hear how well it fit in with these instruments that it's not typically played with in America. Béla even found a young man who plays the instrument that the banjo is believed to be derived from. Watching the reaction of the locals to Béla's playing, as well as his reaction to the different instrumentation and vocal range of the locals was so fun. The collaborations Béla has with musicians around the continent are jaw dropping. We were so moved by Béla's collaboration with Oumou Sangare that we were brought to tears. Watching 2 people communicate so clearly through music is so powerful! Check out a clip from the documentary above where Béla plays with Ruth, the only female thumb piano player in Jinja.

Behind the Scenes at the Fall 2012 Photo Shoot

Here Comes Sunshine

Even on a cloudy day, you can be the headiest hooper around in our Sunshine Tank.

The music is Orgone - Easin' (Outro). Check out Orgone, they're from L.A. and they get funky! We had the pleasure of seeing them last week and can't stop listening to them.

Get The Look: Janis Joplin

In the 60's, Janis Joplin busted out on the music scene with a voice and look completely her own. She wasn't the cookie-cutter image of a beautiful and delicate young woman that we had been so used to. Her fashion sense was so awesome, so unique, that we find ourselves getting inspired by her looks all the time. 

Get the Look: Janis Joplin

Get the big bell sleeves in this blouse.

Layer your blouse with this velvet jacket.

Throw on a Glass Tooth necklace.

 Get groovy and layer your other necklace with this acai seed one.

Can't forget the hip hugging bell bottoms!

Feeling groovy yet?

Delfest 2012

Things could not have been more perfect this year at Delfest...beautiful weather, beautiful music, a beautiful landscape, and beautiful people all over the place! Thanks to all who helped put it together, and all of our wonderful customers who made it so fun for us to be there.

 We love Alex! Alex's voice may be familiar to some, as often times she is on the other end of the Blue Sky line sounding so cheerful and taking care of everyone's needs.

There's Erik putting the party booth together! We love Erik, too! He keeps everything orderly and takes care of business in the Blue Sky warehouse. Without Erik we'd be lost.

One of our favorite dresses in stock right now, Dupree's Diamonds, hugs this groovy gal in all the right places.

It's our blue haired helper, Free munching down! Our friends of the festival may recognize Free from helping out at the Blue Sky booth over the weekend. Thanks for everything, Free!!

Looking groovy, girlfriend! This Assymetrical Spinner looks like it was made for this beauty. Check out our travel dressing room behind her, we come prepared! :)

That smile lights up a room! One of our younger fans has everyone checking out how great she looks in our Girls Maxi Dress.

Always a party at the Blue Sky Booth! 

This rock star came by to check out some groovy clothes but decided he was better off without a shirt...

What a great look! We love her style, and were very happy that our Silk Pocket Passport could keep her hands free...better for dancing! :)

What a timeless look! Long skirts are so flattering and fun to spin around in.

And THAT is how you rock our It's A Cinch skirt!!

We love hoopers!

Between the Flare Foldover Pants and the Color Block Bucket Bag, this heady hooper has got the right idea!! :)

Another gorgeous assymetrical spinner in a different color this time.

What is one to do in a situation like this?? 2 equally awesome pairs of pants...we'll show you which pair she chooses later.

Fits perfect!

Our Party Time dress is no joke, as soon as you put it on, it's time to party!!! :)

Her 3rd eye jewelry looks pretty far out with our Maxi Tube dress.

What a beautiful smile on this lovely lady who is lovin' her Blue Sky skirt!

It looks like our Favorite Tie Dye Skirt may be her new favorite too!

Our customer from earlier who just didn't know which tie dye to go with came back to show us how awesome she looks in the color she chose. Babies, hoops and Blue sky, OH MY!

What a groovy group of gals!

She's looking too adorable in our Butterfly Dress.

As she is demonstrating above, this dress is great to have a beer in! :)

She is the Belle of the ball in our Bella Dress. That color is just perfect for her, it looks so great!

This future stylist for the stars just HAD to have this scarf to complete his ensemble.

Another gorgeous take on our Bella Dress...it looks so great on her, too! We are beginning to think that this dress makes women look like goddesses!

What a perfect festival look!

She's looking fabulous in our Vertically Aligned Dress. We love vertical stripes, they're funky and flattering!

We love the addition of a tail to these pants.

That is such a great color on her!

The face paint on this gorgeous girlfriend really takes this dress to a new level!

We love this shot of two lovely ladies in some Blue Sky tie dye skirts walking at sunset.

You may recognize these two cuties from our photos from Delfest last year. They're always rockin' the Blue Sky...we love you guys!

 We see you over there looking great in that skirt!

It wasn't all work though, we did get to check out some great music while we were there, too.

Hoops, hoops, and more hoops! We love seeing all the party people shakin' their tail feathers out there!

Thumbs up right back at ya, girlfriend!

Blue Sky everywhere!!! We love our kitty cat dress for young girls, it's so sweet! Can't leave out Mom though, who's in the background sporting the peace sign cargo bag.

Umm...can we go with you guys???

We were trying to catch Free in her natural habitat, selling the Blue Sky, but she totally caught us.

These pants were a hit this weekend!

We love seeing the vendors supporting the Blue Sky!

Such a gorgeous landscape in Cumberland, MD.

Some party people on the move.

Land of the free, home of the tie dye!

We love this tiered skirt, it makes us want to sit down and have a picnic! <3

Free's having a good time as the weekend comes to a close, looking great in one of our favorite dresses.

Thank you to everyone who supported us and hung out at the Blue Sky booth this weekend, it was great to party with the people and have some fun. We look forward to next year.
