Jeffrey Campbell's Lita Platform Boot
I love platforms.  These ones have been teasing me for a while now.  Such amazing height.  And as wild and funky as they might seem, they actually look great on.  They remind me of Alexander McQueen’s armadillo platform (think Lady Gaga’s Bad Romance video), only these are much more practical.  I don’t think I can rest until I own a pair.

Assignment #1
First assignment of the semester: Make a dress out of pellon (black or white) using only one shape (ie: circle, square, triangle).  The shapes can be bigger or smaller as long as the dimensions remain the same. I chose circles.

Ive only ever dreamed of owning an Isabel Toledo original, that is until now.  I fell in love with Isabel’s designs (and her passionate love story) last year.  So when I heard she was designing a line of shoes for Payless, I nearly fell over.  Once these beauties arrive in the mail,  I will not waver. :)

MCQUEEN FOREVER
I was in draping class this morning when I heard the news.  Lee Alexander McQueen died last night. No other designer has inspired me more than he.  His visions are so powerful.  Often bizarre, somber, and even scary, his collections transported me to a beautiful world he created. When asked who my favorite designer is, I would always say him.  I still will. The joy I received from his work will...

Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition 2010
I wait all year for this magazine and it’s finally here.  As the snow fills the streets outside my window, I sit and drool, dreaming of the sunny day that I too will be able to bare my sun drenched skin and sport the tiniest of bikinis. These are my favorite models in the issue, and some of my favorite shots.  There were so many. Cintia Dicker Jessica Gomes Bar Refaeli ...

I
Out of 2700 Fashion Design applicants, 258 were chosen. Today was my first day of fashion school.  I felt like a giddy 5 year old on her first day of Kindergarten.  I even picked out my outfit the night before. Can you imagine the kinds of outfits you’d see while attending design school?  It was mind blowing for an avid people watcher like me.  I saw a boy dressed like George Michael circa...

PR is back.
About a month ago, a girl walked up to my bar to close her tab.  She looked so familiar to me, like I knew her.  I asked her why she looked so familiar, and she was instantly disappointed.  Literally, she shrunk a few inches and said sadly, “I was on a reality show a few years ago.”  I screamed, “YEEES!  THAT’S IT!  Girl your blue dress was awesome, so memorable.  You were...
