Updating Simplicity

October 25, 2010 8:28 am

I love simple T-shirts. I love simplicity, period. But I’ve been trying to challenge my creativity by taking simplicity to a different level. So I wanted to make a t-shirt with simple lines, but that had different constructed pieces to add interest. I came up with this top, the one I paired with my black pants.

Here’s a close-up of the front.

Next, the side. In retrospect, I would have like this line down under the elbow. Live and learn.

Finally, the back,

I used my dress form and my tape to create different pieces. Then I cut those pieces out of the fabric and pieced it together. It was like putting together a puzzle.

In other news, I’ve finally gotten my act together and am offering personal styling services now! It’s something I’ve been unofficcialy been doing on the side for a while but am thrilled to publicaly be doing it. For more info, visit my new button on the sidebar!

The Good Times Fall Fashion Edition

August 5, 2010 8:08 am

First off, I was MAJORLY hacked in to. So I’m so sorry for any inconveniences. Everything should be up and running now.

I was really honored when The Good Times asked me to style and photograph their fall fashion edition that hits the stands today. There is a mini version online, but I really wanted to share my favorite pictures with you from the day. Here are the first looks for each model.

Clare is wearing the Lex nautical sweatshirt (almost available for sale), Good Society jeans, misc. sweater, Donni Charm scarf, August Mae ring Nuala leather bag and Nuala leather wrapped wool socks (my FAVORITE thing for fall) and vintage boots.

Here’s a closeup of the socks. You will be seeing these on me every day.

I put all these together because it’s a multi-layered look that can be changed easily and the grey and cream to me are so classic and chic. I also like this look but I think it can appeal to any age group.

For Dez, I wanted to carry in the military theme that’s still pushing strong and pair it with a sweet floral print. She’s wearing a floral print dress from Stripe, misc. military jacket, August Mae Ring, Good Society jeans, Blank Verse earrings and vintage heels.
