Happy belated 4th of July everyone! I hope your weekend was filled with fun, relaxation, celebration and happiness. I spent my weekend north of the city at a friend's lake house. It was so nice to get away from the crowded and smelly city streets and enjoy fresh air and nature. 

change of texture.

I created this shirt the other day, using a similar technique to the previously posted grey one. This coral top features vertical ruffles down the outer edges of the front.

With so much on the front, the back is simpler, with a basic racerback.

I would tuck this into high waisted shorts, or jeans perhaps to give some shape. 

I would consider this a s/m if anyone is interested, I can give you specific measurements...let me know!

creation of mine; a stormy grey top. A tad fluffy, but what can I say, that's kinda my thing.

As shown in the last post....

neutral selection.

 My beige-tone obsession is beginning to grow, just in time for the lovely colors of springtime; odd. Beige, blush, off-white, ecru, cream, so many names, so little time. Here are a few items, some I own, others I don't, that are just perfectly blah...obviously I mean that in terms of color. The inspiration here is Chloe Spring 2010 RTW Collection, which showcased lots of neutrals and a strong utilitarian influence. My selections for the neutral trend are not very useful in terms of activities, but I would venture to say useful in your closet.

thee selections:

1. forever21 ($5.80)
2. NastyGal ($44.00)
3. J.Crew ($165.00)
4. Steve Madden ($99.95)
5. Free People ($188.00)
6. forever21 ($4.50)
7. Emily Kate Farina (priceless...or negotiable)

The Big Finale.

Who wants 'em, and what will you give me?

details, details.

Cornell Design League Show 2010; "Fancy Free"; shoes

Before I had even designed the clothing for my line, I knew I wanted to make colorful, big shoes to match. My plan with these shoes was to make it look like the model had stuck her feet in a flower bed and pulled them out with flowers still attached. But rather than using flowers to get the look, I made poms with different fabrics. The result is pure happiness; at least for me.
