"I Die ! "
I just finished watching Rachel Zoe, and though this is not a couture outfit, the Cincy heat is relentless. This is another chopped up T. I hated to chop off the image on the front, so I kinda made a "vestish" that would be perfect for a swimsuit cover. So, I am beachy today :) - Speaking of Zoe, she has my top 2 dream jobs. Playing with clothes, designing them and traveling all over the world
Blue Hawaii

An Interview with Second Skin's Christina
Are you ready for some good vibes?The "secret" interview day has arrived ! This is the second time I have interviewed anyone. The first was the blogger who inspired me to start a blog, at a time in my life when I desperately needed a creative outlet.

Traditional vs. Modern
Floral design has come a long way, even in the last 5 years.The traditional "Dozen in a Vase" is now almost the exceptionrather than the norm (except maybe at Valentine's Day).I love nothing more for a customer to ask for "Designer's Choice", meaning we have no limits on what we can do! Instead of daisies, maybe we'll use chartreuse spider mums. Instead of a traditional red rose, perhaps we'll

Marc Jacobs(ish), Cemeteries and a Klutz
I was feeling all Marc Jacobsy in this outfit. The belted jacket, the slew of brooches and a full skirt below. I'd hoped to find a long, full one, but I double-skirted a shorter one instead. Marc Jacobs is a master with belted jackets over full skirts. I paroozed the neighborhood for a new place to shoot and found a super old Cemetery near my house. I love cemeteries.
