collecther private label

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....

I want to look this good when I'm pregnant! Shaenna looks radiant...(fuscia cowl neck dress $60 collecther private label)

Tams and Bows

The girls look great... If you a style adventurer, dont be afraid to try this combination. Wife Beaters or off the shoulder tops and blouses really work well with this combination

Classic Style Twisted

Krista chose black and blue as her pallete. This cardigan over the cowl neck blouse with dk denim high waisted jeans is a great era clash... Classic and funky are made very functional... This evening clutch works with the mix quite well.

the Parisian
Black Panther look
Kristy is rockin!
