Solo Sushi Date

Today I figured out how to take pictures of myself with my new camera. I want to share with everyone just how much I love to dress up, even when taking my self out to sushi, (new place on Capital hill called Genki Sushi). This dress in one of my new Value Village favorites, I've been looking forward to an 80 degree day to show it off.  I decided too much white! (no wedding sushi) so I broke it up with one of my favorite wide stretchy belts (thanks mom!) and then it was easy to pick out the shoes (black leather guess flats with little bows on them (thanks Nordstrom) check out my new etsy post! http://www.etsy.com/listing/52064330/strapless-bubble-wolf-dress

Forence and the Machine

I love this artist, and I've been listening to her amazing voice for a year now and I just got around to googling her and checking out some of her videos, only to find out that she's beautiful too. I'm digging her style!

Snap shot

What a lovely July evening in the park with Beth Roberts and some of my new dresses and tops. I got to play with my new camera too (thanks mom and dad!). Beth always looks so cute, she's like a blond Audry Hepburn, I guess that makes me Fred Astaire.

I left my dress in San Fransico

I've had some fantastic trips to the thrift store lately! I'm finding some great vintage woven fabrics (like the floral bubble dress). It's like a 50's dream come true. The red polka dot fabric is new but it's lookin' very retro, and classic. How can you go wrong with red and white polka dots toped with a black lace bow? I'm making lots of sun dresses like the olive green calico with vintage pilgram fabric. I really like the big old ships on this fabric. I actually cut out more halter dresses today, and the black and white silk halter with vintage floral cotton is a lovley example, when I put it on my dress form I thought "how classy".As always I'm trying to make as many re constructed blouses and knit pieces as I can. They are so comfortable and wearable! All of these gems are on there way to Needles and Pens in San Fransico.
