Super Rushed Project Runway Submission

Thursday I was contacted by a casting director drumming up applications for the next season of Project Runway.

After MUCH Facebook peep encouragement I scrambled to get together a shoot of a few of my most recent dresses in order to get the submission in their hands by the March 15th deadline.

I collaborated with photographer Adam Weklak and the lovely model Danielle Lyann, (and the Colorado weather cooperated!) for these photos I think came out representing me and my style perfectly!

Application is in the mail! Cross your fingers for me!

Retro Girly Shopping Spree

Finding and collecting special little vintage-y treasures that make you squeal girlishly just to have them in your room doesn’t have to entail a long Sunday of flea markets, a lost weekend of yard-sale-ing, a pretention filled afternoon of antiquing or (God forbid) dumpster diving. 

Unless these things tickle your fancy (and I know they sometimes really do). But some days (like these last few weeks of grody, sticky heat here in Colorado) the furthest you can get from the air conditioning vent is your lap top. 

Here’s a little collection of girly, retro, cute but NEW items I assembled care of Bluefly.com.

Nanette Lepore Eau de Parfum Spray

Nanette Lepore's cute little line of toiletries take cues from old-timey Sailor Jerry tattoos mashed with french cartoon girlies.

Ferragamo's light sky retro flower and sun silk scarf

Ferragamo's retro-inspired silk scarves use fun geometrics in vintage pastels.

Just Peachy

I am not, necessarily, feeling particularly peachy today, but maybe this post will help.

It's one of those days.
