More To Buy
Okay so I'm working like a mad woman to get this necklace finished in time for the show tomorrow. I just need to finish the edges which I'll probably do at the show as they need to be hand stitched. I've also decided to take a few of my cards. Hope to see you there! Artisan Studio Tour in Port...

Squeezing Out The Last Warm Rays Of Summer
We managed to squeeze out one last really lovely day of summer last week where it was very warm, sunny and just beautiful to be lunching outside on a patio enjoying the spectacular changing Fall colours. It was so warm I probably didn't need the tights, but my legs aren't as tanned now so this i...

Giving Thanks
This was our Thanksgiving Monday...loved it. I made everything from scratch with recipes I created. For the appetizers I had goat's cheese stuffed figs with roasted pecans & honey, sun dried tomatoes with fresh basil, fried halloumi on rye crisps and homemade pesto cheese buns. My first try...
i love the back zipper! and LOL tht your husband loves it. hahaha. i'm gigglin. and that the took that last photo. my husband does the same thing. and i'm like 'seriously did you think i looked cute' or he ends up taking photos of something else COMPLETELY while i'm standing around posing. ugh. and that top/collar combo is great too - i really want a collar like that (or necklace? i dunno what to call it!)

Back Zip
This skirt is ideal should you get into any kind of accident and need to be taken to the hospital, they won't need to cut your clothes off, they can just unzip you. It's also handy if you're lazy and don't want to lift your feet to get out of your skirt. Or, the obvious, my husband likes it, and...

Sequin Shorts Try #2
Okay so here is my second attempt at making these shorts day friendly. I think I like this better than my first try. I'm busy working on a necklace that will work with this outfit. It's going to be something totally different than what I usually make. Do you like this version b...
i LOVE the sequin shorts and how you styled them! sometimes scrolling through i miss things, i dunno how. and i LOVE the hat and darker colors with them - they really suit you well

You Forgot Your Pants
Okay...so I've taken some advice from my wonderful readers and tried to style my sparkly shorts from this sad post. Since I'm not scheduled to be at any hot bars in NYC for the next while I'm faced with trying to style this look for my everyday life. I'm not 100% sure I've succeeded. I don't kno...

Floral Into Fall
When I bought these pants in early spring I knew that they would be a great transitional piece. I'm so glad I resisted the urge to buy those super bright neon floral pants that were everywhere this spring. Although they looked lovely they didn't work with my skin tone and hair colour. These pant...
that is awesome you made your necklace! it looks awesome. and this is for sure the perfect fall outfit - i love the animal print on you - the color/tons in it are just perfect

On The Prowl - Animal Print For Fall
I scored big when we were in Seattle and I picked up this little leopard print dress from Ross. It's a Ralph Lauren that you can throw into your suitcase scrunched into a ball and take out 12 hours later, give it a little shake and wear it right away. I wish I travelled that well. ...
i love the beret on you! this outfit does indeed have a very lovely vintage parisian feel to it

Paris Calling
I have to say that when I put this outfit together I really envisioned myself walking down the Champs Elysee, walking a couple of pugs on jewel encrusted leashes. We are hoping to return to France this year however it'll be around Christmas and sadly too chilly for this outfit. I ...
i have not seen this one. i see certain trends, and i don't get it, but to each their own, right? i won't be participating in this one personally

If This Is Where Fashion Is Going - I Don't Want To Follow
I try to be opend minded. Really I do. This however...I just can't get on board with this. Fanny Lyckman Personal Uniform It looks like they have taken their sweats and cut off one and a half of the legs. I don't even know what you would call this... a skant? (shiver) I'm all into up...

Hobo Bag That Never Ends
So I started in altering this hobo bag with the idea I would create a very large fabric flower. Then I thought it needed something on the large shoulder strap and I added bands of fabric and ribbon... Then I thought why not add on some more embellishment details... ...
i do love them though! what if you paired them with something really subtle and tights? just for girls night out or something? they are so fun not to wear

The Secret (FAB) Life Of My Clothes

everything in this outfit is PERFECT! I am totally in love with it - the setting, the color of that jacket, the tie on your shirt. love it. i agree - a fahsionable modern cowgirl outfit for sure!
and as an aside, it must be hard to have your husband travel so much - i think that would be more difficult because of time zones - i am lucky we are in the same time zone and have time after work to watch TV, cook dinner, etc. i love connecting with others who know what its like to be long distance

Sunset Cowboys
I was inspired for this look when I visited the Urban Outfitters store in Seattle. They had lots of mannequins dressed with denim shirts and scarves tied in bows around the neck. It reminds me a bit of how a fashionable cowboy girl would dress. Jacket - Danier Mini skir...

Finally Got To Wear This Gorgeous Gown
You may remember this lovely gown from when I was trying to choose what to wear to a fancy wedding this summer. Well I didn't choose to wear this to the wedding, which I'm kind of regretting, but I did wear it on the cruise which was perfect. Every night on the cruise we got dressed for dinn...
indeed - i've always found these points quite interesting and have many good points to talk about. i try and buy quality pieces, but i also realize that clothing are there to protect and cover up, so eventually, i will 'wear them out' meaning i literally wear holes through my clothing. i fix a lot of them, but some just die. nothing will ever stop fast fashion - it's a bargain, but some do go over board. it's easy to shrug off a bunch of 30 dollar purchases from H&M throughout the year or month - it's harder to shrug off a 120 dollar dress once every three months because the money is all at once. it's hard to train people to realize otherwise. and it's also hard to be knowledgable truly about cost and materials unless you work in the industry and have that knowledge of material and margin. i realize if a dress costs 30-50 dollar, it's cost from china is incredibly low - there has to be some margin, even if it's not a ton. and most companies, even american ones, just make piles and piles of things like those dresses - that's mass manufacturing. and for the brands who move back here - the cost is still hard to meet here. even with shipping and taxes lowered, the cost is still a few dollars higher in most cases - so it's a risk unless you know your clients will appreciate made in the USA and you can fully manufacture here.
anyhow. i work for a company that recently shut down a plant in the USA for over seas manufacturing because no one wanted to spend the extra 10 dollar for it to be made here - they just wanted it to be cheaper

Wrap presents, go to the zoo, fix up glow in the dark bubbles, make banana ice cream, order a cake, make garlands, remember where I put that telescope I bought three months ago, and remember to celebrate the 4th of July as well! I hope you have a lovely 4th of July (state side)! Be back soon.....
