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!!

Leather Leggings?
August 21, 2010 1:54 pmI’m slightly obsessed with “leather” leggings right now. I don’t have any because I always see them on someone and fall in love. Then I’ll got o check out a pair and they look so cheesy hanging there. Here’s an example.
Amazing. ( I know. It’s Giselle. Anything looks amazing)
Not Amazing.
Amazing.
Not Amazing.
And one more amazing.
Do you get my problem? I like them. Then I see them in person and I don’t like them.
What do you think about them? Have you found any that look great on?

Wardrobe Staples- Denim Cutoff Shorts
August 17, 2010 10:17 amDenim cut off shorts. I’ve always loved them. I had them when I was a kid and I still have some now. (not the same pair 
) You can have longer length ones or short ones. You can roll the hem or have them frayed. Almost anyway, they look great and they’ll be around forever.
I love them with a flowy top and heels.
I love them with plain old sandals.
But now that summer’s coming to and end, here’s some other ways to wear them. I love this way with thights, boots and a big, warm sweater.
Knee high stockings are huge this season and they look great with Wellies and a button up.
And here’s one more way with tights and heels (don’t like these giant boots, but think great black heels). I love it with this loosely fitted T.
Make your own!
-What I did was go to the thrift store and got a pair of jeans for $3.
-I cut them off about an inch and a half below where I wanted the hem to fit. They’ll fray, remember.
-Then I used my denim distressing techniques to distress them at the pockets and hems a little.
-Wash them a couple times for the ultimate look before you wear them.
Just don’t wear them with iceskates. It looks white trash. ( I learned the hard way)

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!
