Friday Flea Market Finds

May 28, 2010 2:09 pm

I was inspired by Dana at MADE’s post today about her thrifty finds. I go to out local Flea Market every Friday and always find lots of yummy things. I thought I’d start sharing my Friday finds with you to inspire you to go find your own goodies! (Thanks for the great idea, Dana!)

These were some of my finds from last week and today.

Daily Wear 5.9.10

May 10, 2010 1:48 pm

Here’s what I wore for mother’s day yesterday.

Forever 21 black blazer

Forever 21 grey cowel neck sweater. Perfect down or as a little hoodie. I love hoodies.

Black Leggings

It’s also the perfect sweater for hiding in. If it gets cold. Or you’re hiding form your kids because they’re driving you crazy.  (Did I just say that? It’s been one of those days….)

And the star of my show are these leather boots I scored at the Thrift store for $8.

Hope you had a lovely weekend!!!

Daily Wear 3.28.10

March 28, 2010 7:12 am

Good Morning! I’m so flattered by the response for the response I’ve gotten for the cream jersey dress I wore here. I’ve gotten 3 orders for it! I’m so glad you all like it!

Aannnyhoo- I love long wide leg pants- especially in white. I got these at urban outfitters about 5 years ago and they’re still my favorites. The shirt is one of my own designs and the sweater is my moms. I love the look of sweaters like these. I call them “effortlessly chic.” The shoes are one of my favorite pairs of clog-like shoes. They have a heel but are easy to walk in.

Something you don’t know about me- I rub my nose when I”m nervous. Maybe I’ll get used to this picture thing someday.


Also, The Tutorials Page and the Original Designs Page are coming along! You can now begin to easily look through each of those things without going through all the old posts.  The rest will be up soon.

Have a lovely Sunday!

Daily Wear and New to the Shop

March 23, 2010 11:52 am

Happy Tuesday everyone!

Here is a new dress I made for myself over the weekend. I wore it with an oversized sweater, knee high boots and my pleated purse.

Those of you that have been with me this whole time know how much I looooove white. This dress is a Burberry cream on cream striped jersey.  It has cascading ruffles down the front.

It has smocked sleeves, smocked neckline and  a slimming smocked waistband. Its comforatble, airy and effortless. A great dress to wear casually or dress up.

It’s for sale in my etsy shop, along with two paperbag wiast skirts from my new line at Stripe. This one is a chambray denim.

This one is a combed pink cotton.

Both are a one size fits most! One more day left to enter the giveaway!! And NO! I’m not going to stop doing tutorials. I’ve got one coming on Thursday.

OH! And if you live locally, 20% off our ENTIRE purchase at Stripe today!!

QUESTION: A lot of you requested me to do a dress tutorial for the Anthropologie “You name it, Ill show you how to make it”. Now, I can show you how I make a dress for me, but it’s going to be SOOO different for each body. You may need to dart more, extend more in the back, take in more in the waist etc… I’m worried that whole part will be not helpful at all. Would you rather have a shirt tutorial or an easy dress one? Let me know so I can choose which one to do!
