Très chic, très hip, très sexy
I vowed not to curse the weather – but my goodness! What IS it w/ the snow, sleet, hail, rain & lightning all wrapped into one ominous package?
At least I get to play-work around the house today until my afternoon meeting. So here I go again – looking a bit way too fabulous for my idyllic little urban dwelling. But then again, I never minded the dichotomy of this crazy little life I’ve crafted.
I’m actually writing a letter to my grandmother today. I need to let her know that I’m featured in a bunch of magazines this month (She gets a little irked when I keep to myself), but I think she quite enjoys picking them up on the newsstand, which is really sweet. I also have to share the news that I have been using her beautifully crocheted collars & great gram’s vintage scarves since she doesn’t use the Internet. 😉
I think the LBD looks so elegant but I’ve kept it simple. I love how just a little adjustment makes such a transformational difference. For instance, I kept it as a bubble and stepped one leg through to the front to make it appear like an unconventional slit up the dress. Again, another Carasan collar creation and her cute knit ruffled gloves, (which you can win if you give $100 or more!); glasses from my collection with MODO Eco (coming soon!); Charmone heels; and a lovely pen given to me by my dear friend Damon so I can write, write, write.

As always, lovely, lovely, lovely! The gloves are twinkly and whimsical. I lust after the pen. My new favorite singer is now Stacy Kent.

Hi Earthcookie, “Love the gloves & the pink do-dad on your shoulder!”
Thanks, The half gloves we designed just for Summer & this project. They are hand knit from organic merino wool & silk, they we have hand dyed them for a vintage look. They are very soft. We designed a few pair, which you can win if you give $100 or more!. Summer blogs about this on a past day. & the “do-dads” are hand crafted flower pins, two of them made from the same silk fabric as Summer’s dress. They are covered in gems.
