Fringe

“Betty Hutton - Somebody Loves Me”
A couple of days ago my girlfriend Ashley sent me this Betty Hutton Video to show me this amazing fringe dress. Of course with that came instructions with what color she would like her's to be. I don't know about you ladies but I love fringe! I just found a source for 9in fringe. SWOOON!
I was looking through some of my etsy favorites and realized I have several amazing fringe dresses there too! The dress from Atlas Falcon Vintage I almost bought, but is a little to small in the hips, so now that I have a fringe source I can replicate this dress. I have also seen in person this same dress in Cream. Which is, I think, more amazing then the black.
Since fringe seams to be popping up in my life more and more, I think I should really start a new project.
What is your favorite fringe dress?

Florance + The Machine
My new obsession is Florance + The Machine. I love her voice, I find it just magical. I also love her very androgynous look. There is something so beautiful about her alabaster skin and red hair. Stunning.
These photos are from her video "Shake it out". The styling for this video is incredible. You have to check out this breathtaking floor length gold beaded dress.
I have had yet another death in my family, (bringing to total to 8 in 12 months) and this song has been really relating to my heart in all the best ways. I really don't want to be negative, just wanted to share what's going on. The last year has really made me realize how truly lucky we are to have the people in our lives, and need to live life to the fullest. Which is why I am making some large changes in my life this year. I find music can sometimes identify and help coop with certain situations. This song does that for me.
This song is a reminder that we can move forward. I hope you like it as much as I do.
This is the their newest album. "Shake it out" is on that album. Check out this great video!

Closet overhaul
Welcome to stage two of organizing and de-cluttering 2012!
Second stage, Closets.
Before:
As you can see, I have exceeded the amount of space those boxes can accomodate. Leaving my closet always looking like a mess. So, I recently upgraded my scarf and stocking boxes. I have found so many new scarfs in the last few months that my box has overflowith. I decided while I was doing that to proporly fold them and colorize. Making finding the correct color a lot easier.
After:
I also moved my hat collection a little higher in my closet to prevent me from damaging them now that the boxes are bigger. I also invested in a few more hooks so now I can hang more. I rediscovered several hats I had forgot about. I love that about reorganizing!

Tying up loose ends
Hello Again!
2012 has some big changes on the horizon, so with that, for me, comes organization and de-cluttering home, closet and my mind.
I started and finished some projects that I have been putting off for quite a while. Earlier this winter I painted my bathroom, which had been in dire need of paint since we had a little fire over a year ago. It was a lavender color before, but now, a pinky peach! It's called "Friendship", and I love it. It came out just the way I wanted it too. I think it matches my original buttercup with gold fleck original 50's tile nicely. I found this great 60's peach wicker shelf.
These adorable chalkware poodles dated 1957 are also a new addition to the bathroom.
I also found earlier this summer these two spaghetti poodle figurines at a thrift store, one is a planter. That sad little plant is hanging on for dear life. The other was just to cute and tiny to pass up.
I never had any intention of having it a poodle themed bathroom, but I guess it just worked out that way.
There are still some improvements that I would like to make, but I like to do things in steps when I have extra money. That way I buy things I really like, rather then things that will work in a pinch.

Missoni
I don't know about you but I am a designer junkie. When I used to work as a full time make-up artist I was especially immersed in fashion, fashion shows and designers. Now, several years later I still enjoy a day off at a cafe with Italian & Australian Vogue, W magazine and usually some other international mag that grabs my eye. I like to order up a latte and fantasize about owning fantastic designer wears, or gather inspiration for clothing I'd like to design. Because I am not currently designing any new lines, I am free to peruse as many magazines as I like. When I'm designing up a storm I tend to shy away from magazines as to not rip off someone else's work. But for now.....Bring on the magazines and the youtube videos of this season's big runway shows!!
I have a friend who works for Target corporate. Target's corporate offices are based her in Minneapolis. She is one of many who work on the Target international limited lines. This fall they are featuring MISSONI! I love the colors and the awesome "rick-rack" like patterns. Here is a video of the upcoming collection!
It launches September 13th! I don't know about you but I love the house wears and the coats. I am such a coat junkie (because it is always arctic here!) I am going to be sporting some new cute coats this fall.
Au Revoir,

Dressed to kill!
The summer has been slipping away and I have been trying to hold on to the last bit of it with all that I am! I have taken the summer off from blogging, though who am I kidding I am not that frequent of a blogger in the winter either. baby steps, baby steps.
Anywhooo, I recently was asked to be part of a very fun project for a newer friend of mine. Sarah Holm is a fellow designer, and she asked me to be one of the leads in one of the 5 short films she is collaborating on. She is making 5 outfits, one for each of the lead rolls of each film. During Minnesota Fashion week (same time as New York Fashion week) she will have these films playing in the back round while the model walk the catwalk in the same outfit. Pretty incredible idea if you ask me! To make the whole project even more amazing Sarah teamed up with Tyler Jensen an up and coming short film director. He is working on a project called 30 films in 30 days. He writes, films and edits these short films in 24 hours, for a whole month! Sarah and Tyler will be collaborating on all 5 films.
This is the film that I was in:
Dressed To Kill: Terminal Coolness, Or I Used To Eat Your Brains Before Everyone Else Did! from Tyler Jensen on Vimeo.
Tyler also just got word yesterday, that this film will be shown at Zombiefest in the UK! I believe this is happening next week. How cool!
Well, that's all for now. Once the summer slows down a bit I will start blogging again.
Until then,
Au Revoir
