Rite of Spring

Spring is in the air, and when you live in the Southern United States, that usually means some weird weather.  In a single day it can be 38° F when you leave for the day and progress to around 83° F.  So spring for me generally means LAYERS.

Below I will show some of the layered looks from various Spring 2014 collections

This first look from Balmain showcases the "it" jacket of spring, the bomber jacket.  This ensemble has a slightly sporty feel with the pinstripes, but still maintains the punk/rock vibe courtesy of the pants.

This second outfit from JBrand has a relaxed feel.  The pink moto jacket allows for a fresh spring feel for those who want to lighten the look and the striped pants add just the right touch of attitude and anarchy.

Our final look from Isabel Marant starts off with a feminine jacket but ends with beautiful cropped lace-up pants.  This outfit showcases a wonderful pairing of tough and girlie all at the same time.

Paint It Black

There's a somber mood this week as a shining light has disappeared from the fashion industry sky.

L'Wren Scott, fashion designer and model, was found dead on Monday, March 17 in her Manhatten home of an apparent suicide.

While many people will begin speculating as to Ms. Scott's state of mind, I choose to honor her memory. My heart and thoughts go out to her friends and family, especially Mr. Mick Jagger, her long-time companion.

To honor the designer, I have chosen to showcase some of my favorite designs from her Spring 2014 Ready to Wear collection. Pictures taken by Yannis Vlamos.

Sweet Child O' Mine

Today I thought I would share a few of my designs. I've even worn a couple of these outfits. Hope you enjoy.

Just got the green pants. Can't wait to wear this.

Those who know me have seen this outfit.

Just playing around here.
