Animal in the city

I've been sitting on this post for way too long. The piece I made is of course the printed zebra shirt dress. I got the print from my old work and from then it was already sitting around waiting for me to do something with it. So what I decided to do is dress shirt with a pleather back and rolled sleeves. I gave the hem a shirt tail shape because hems need details too! Plus it does well to cover up the rear. And here I am sitting by the pool as one of my favorite things to do. just not in a bathing suit. Maybe in a later post, huh?

Maid of the Mist

On my visit to Lewiston, New York for my boyfriend's family wedding I had to make a visit to the magnificent Niagara Falls for this blog post which was just fifteen minutes from his hometown. The dress I'm wearing is what I made so I thought what a perfect iconic place to be in a cute white dress. I would have also liked cross the border to Canada (which is what you see with the buildings pictured!) but we didn't have enough time. Phooey! There's always next time. You also get a glimpse of the Maid of the Mist which is a boat that brings you up to the front of the waterfall where you get showered by the mist of the falls and view the splendor of it all!  I hope you like my dress and the fun cutouts, criss cross back and LOVELY pockets!

Glitz and Glamour

Remember the black sweatshirt with the small glitzy contrast pocket from the Bull's outfit? Of course you do! It was only my last post. When I saw this fabric I knew I had to do something big with it. The print is amazing. New Year's Eve was just around the corner so I had to do something for that. Yes it was a few weeks ago, so here is what I wore out. A high slit evening dress which you can wear as a halter style, off the shoulder, or single strap. Ooh la la. Oh, and see my NYE nails! Incredibly jeweled! Pointed shoulder bolero jacket; Papaya, platform heels; Bakers. Photos by Katie Ralston and Arturo Pulido.
