Friday, March 18th

Nothing beats the first beautiful day in Brooklyn. The streets come alive & pulse with an energy unlike any other city. Cafes gather their courage and set up outdoor seating. Girls frolic in their frocks and guys loiter languidly outside bagel shops & burrito trucks. Dogs even seem to pick up on the energy and rant, woof and rave as they pull their owners down the streets.

I might as well let you all know that Terri & Cassandra, the design duo behind my UP LBD has decided to knit the most beautiful wrist length fingerless gloves w/ruffles and other fine detailing – a cream-colored pair w/ turquoise beads and a gray-red “Tokyo pop” pair with multi-layered ruffles. For those that give $150+ and $100+ respectively, you will automatically be entered in the running to win those. Not to mention that you will also have a chance to win our $50 gift and receive the Payless offer as well. Wow, I sound like a giveaway machine – but want to thank all of you for your generous donations.

Today – a loose, long LBD ruffle-bubble over a vintage 80s B&W gingko print, puff-sleeved Richard Warren quilted silk blouse (viralthreads). I love how the bow can be a floppy hair band, a pussy bow necktie – or even a belt. That alone changes the whole vibe of the piece. Plus a vintage belt (Fluke); beetle ring (Catbird); Modo Eco sunnies; leopard print anklets (Stockingirl); Isabel Toledo lace-ups from Payless.
