Photo Shoot With Raya Carlisle
October 5, 2010 10:34 amI had the greatest privilege to have my work shot by Raya Carlisle. She is an incredibly talented photographer out of Southern California. We actually went to high school together. She took some amazing photographs this summer and I’m so proud to share them with you. My friend, Leda, did a perfect job modeling for me . Check out Raya’s beautiful and inspiring blog.
Enjoy the show!

I Conquered the Short. Part 3
August 26, 2010 2:01 pmHere is my final Summer shorts post! These were shorts I made at the beginning of the summer and I wore them ALL summer long I made them from an oatmeal linen.
I did this pleated all around the front and back.
Then on the sides I did this pick-up detail.
I have a new love for shorts now. I’m even working on some fall shorts!

Pleated Purse
August 25, 2010 8:41 amHi. I’ve missed you all. And I’m sorry for the slow posting. My daughter just started back to school so we’re all adjusting to our new routine. I’ll get back to normal soon.
I have SO MANY new things coming to the store. Long sleeve organic tops, amazing sweaters and some scarves, too! To make way I need to get rid of some of the summer’s inventory. So my pleated purses are on sale for 50% OFF!!
I have one left in cream canvas and one in navy linen.
I hope you’re all having a great day!!

Fashion Show Looks 6-10
August 16, 2010 1:20 pmI can’t beleive I’ve forgotten to show you the rest of my fashion show. So here it is !
Look6: (my other sister modeling)
Round 1- This is a cocktail dress I made hand dyed in a gradient grey. It’s paired with grey sued flats and a leather sued bag by Nuala.
It’s the only pic I have of this one!
Look 8
Round 1- Thirfted lace top, black poofy skirt, cuff by Nuala and black heels
Round 2- necklace by Stipe, leather belt by Nuala(You have got to see closeups of this when I get them. It’s GORGEOUS!), grey socks and we reversed the skirt so the tulle showed.
Round 3- switched to a white tank and added ballerina socks
Look 7
There wasn’t any great consecutive shots of this on the runway so I though I’d share with you this picture that Paul Ferraddas took after the show in about two minutes. How amazing is this shot?!!
And I had to show you all the detail in the back, too, because it’s my favorite part. This one took a looong time!
(This dress is for sale)
Look 9
Round 1,2- I HAD to have a corchet dress in the show. I don’t know what it was. But the girls at Stripe found me this old one. It was very victorian to begin with. So I restructured it to create something more relevant. I don’t have a picture for look 1, but itw as without the socks and chains. We added those for round 2.
Round 3- I made this big poofy sleeve out of a vintage pieces of fabric. We changed the shoes and added more gold jewelry.
(this dress is for sale)
Look 10 (also my sister)
Round 1- This was my finale dress. I made it then hand dyed it in a gradient lilac. You can barely see, there is a small gathering at the hip, just like the one in look 6. e have it paired with a suede bag by Nuala and gold sandals.
Round 2- Horrible phone picture, but what we did was add a jeweled bustle by Stripe.
Round 3- No pictures, but it had a yellow petticoat made by the owner of Stripe, Suna and gold heels.
Oddly enough, I’ve sold 3 of these dresses. I thought this would be the last one to sell because it’s so fancy!
