Inspiration: Ethereal Romance

For my final forecasting presentation, I'm researching a Spring 2010 trend. I was immediately drawn to the romantic, fairylike ruffles, luxuriously draped gowns, and icy pastels that reminded me of my childhood. I remember collecting those little fairy figurines you can find at Hallmark and reading my mother's collection of beautifully illustrated books about fairies. I'm not even ashamed to admit that I believed in them wholeheartedly as a child.....

















*I randomly saved these images onto my computer and forgot to label where I found them! If any of these are your images or know whose they are, please let me know :)

Oh Blog

I'm so sorry for neglecting you....


Anyway, these days the bank account is dwindling. Between writing rent checks and buying furniture for the new place, not selling anything at the store lately (COME ON I know you all need a tutu skirt and a new pretty summer dressy), and spending stupidly in general, I have zero dollars for pretty summer clothes. I need inspiration to revive some old pieces, or advice on a few things I should actually buy that I can mix and match with while i'm stuck in the Tennessee heat. hm.

I do need:

sandals, preferably not gladiators, i'm not gonna lie, I'm over it.

rompers. definitely not over these just yet :)

a sun dress

some sort of jean cut offs, goodwill baby

some light blouses perhaps.


ideas:



Liebemarlene Vintage





MakiMaki Vintage






Pretty Floral Sundress




Oh and if everyone would pray to the sungods for me that would great. Nashville needs some vitamin D

Oh What I Wore

today. I thought about black suede heels but toppling about campus in 4 inch lovelies doesn't always end up well for my feet...
So I pulled these out of my closet and felt quite sparkly and like a little tap dancer.






Dress- F21 (Twelve by Twelve)
Slip underneath- F21
brogues- random brand from Tj Maxx a long time ago I believe. a deal!

I cannot remember where I found the last two lovelies, so if you know please tell me so I can give them credit!!

Seeing Spring...

The fashion show for the store I manage was on Thursday night. I'll do a proper post with all of the edited photos once I get them back, but here are a few now:










The last two are of my lovely friend Biz that was kind enough to model my two favorite creations, the birthday cake dress and the picnic dress, as I have christened them :)

Toothache

They're here, they're here! And perhaps even better than I expected. I was completely taken by suprise with the faux suede, I guess I just didn't look closely enough at the photo online when I bought them. anyhow, love it. I wore them about town today happily 4 1/2 inches taller than usual, and moderately comfy as well. I don't know if I'm brave enough to wear them out in short shorts, but I did don them with a pair of black skinnies and a white tee.

Me in a Drawing

This is pretty much me dead on. Now all I need are some heart tattoos on my elbows.

I'm in love with these drawings by Caitlin Shearer on Etsy. Love love love.

Speaking of Shoes....

I just ordered these. trendy? maybe. I don't care.

Shoe Lust

It is imperative that I own these in the near future


that is all.
