Sew Thus is Life...

HELP! So as usual I have to come up with a title for my collection and I'm failing horrendously this time. The general inspiration is taken from the style at the British and American grand horse races- The Kentucky Derby and the Royal Ascot. So we're talking horses, garden party dresses and BIG CRAZY HATS. In addition I'm connecting Accessory design with Collection so I have to design cute handbgs to coordinate. Here's where you all come in, I'm doing a poll for names I've come up with... and feel free to comment with your own suggestions. The poll will run to Monday morning (since my board and concept presentations are on Tuesday.) The poll is located in my sidebar to the left. So VOTE VOTE VOTE! when Ascot attacks! -xo

I want to take certain styles out of the box and elevate them. Something other than the stan

Oy. You have no idea. I know I said by the end of the weekend you’d hear from me and it’s TUESDAY. FAIL, yes I know. But who cares. I know some of you (or not) have been dying to know (or not) what I’ve been up to lately. Well I’ll try my best to give the condensed and legal versions. .          Internship- my 'thank you' flowers How time flies. It seems like just yesterday I was in Maryland, breaking my neck to get back to Philly to move out of my apartment and start my internship. While some paperwork prevents me from going into full detail, do know I had a blast working there and met some very wonderful people while enjoying lots of yummy food. I’m currently praying all works out and I can continue to work there during the semester so fingers crossed baby! Wedding- I LOVE weddings. I’m so girly it’s sickening sometimes and you can ask Ashante and watch him cringe when I get started on weddings. The channel I miss the most from home (outside of a

Hello my lovemuffins. Yes, I'm alive. I know, you were worried. (Or not, noting the lack of views I've had... you don't love me anymore? :-( ) Anywho.
