Spring Tip of the Week:The Assymetric dress

This fuchsia dress was my find of the day. This color looks great on everyone, add a little hot pink to your color palette for spring. Assymetrical necklines bring great attention to the neckline and shoulders. Add simple accessories such as gold silver bracelets, earrings and shoes. Do not destroy the neckline with a necklace. A very pretty option for spring. ($54 sold)

Spring Tip of the Week: Jumpers.

Jumpers are comfortable and sexy. They also say spring/summer. Add a scarf and a pump to tap into sexy Sandy from Grease. Add oversized accessories and make this look your own. For us busty gals a capsleeved v-neck version works well for us... Dont be afraid to show off those legs this summer and enjoy shorter versions of this style....

Whenever I get the opportunity to sew... I'm always excited and sad at the same time... This dress (collecther private label) wasn't even in the window a good 5 minutes before it was sold! Exciting yes! Sad because I can only make but so much. Thanks to small production this style and a few others will be the first of many in my private collection for spring.... I'll keep you posted!

Spring Tip of the Week: The Tortoise and the Cheetah

This spring please dont be afraid to rock a patterned tight with peep toe heels, especially t-strapped... herribone, animal print, fishnet, even colored opaque tights are quite cute... A combination of patterns are great fun to dress up a solid color scheme... These tortoise shell pumps with the cheetah print tights are classy, sexy, and fun....
