A Love, Simone. Summer

My life has become a blur of school and work lately, so it is a wonder I was able to finally complete this dress (it took me several weeks of spare moments here and there...). I modified a pattern from the 60s for a girl's tent shape dress, and added pockets...and bows, of course :)













Now it's back to statistics homework. Woe.



...also now looking at the photos, the ribbons need to be trimmed a bit, no? I think so.

What She Wore: St. Vincent

Last night I went to see the lovely Annie Clark play, otherwise known as St. Vincent. She was completely mesmerizing with her guitar playing as well as her charming vocals. She wore this lovely all black ensemble, including a black crop top that had a cutout in the center and her signature red lips.

Another LIkely Story...

Another Au Revoir Simone post :) I saw them last night at The End. They are absolutely as charming as you would think they would be! I especially loved their simple yet eclectic oufits, pairing simple tees with short denim and floral skirts with tights and peep toes!

N.E.E.T Magazine Global Fashion

So here I am lazing about in my bed trying to nap but cannot...(its so overly warm in this house), so I decide to peruse the blogs. While looking through the latest issue of N.E.E.T Magazine, I come across the Global Fashion section. I must have entirely forgotten that I submitted a style photo a while back because, well, I was quite surprised to see myself in the middle of the page :)



So thankyou N.E.E.T. Magazine that made my day :) Everyone should go check it out, it's a great issue as always!

PS I am on page 176 if anyone happens to go and see!

Only you can make you happy...

On a sidenote, I just bought the new Au Revoir Simone album Still Night, Still Light and it makes for some lovely listening :)

Starving Fashionista Sale

So. I just moved into this big beautiful amazing house, and have no furniture. and, no money to buy it with. In the process of moving, I realized how many pairs of lovely shoes and pieces of clothing I have that have never even been worn. So, here is the first of many items I will be selling on my etsy. ALSO, I will be getting my handmade designs up within the next month, yay :)

Now I'm going to attempt to organize said clothing and shoes sans furniture...wish me luck lovelies!

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.....
