maternity skirt

I have a brainstorm for a maternity skirt. This may never actually come to fruition since it requires me to sew, I am counting on the fact that my Mom is coming to town to help.

This is Dana Made It's circle skirt. She has a tutorial on how to make it on her blog (for adults and children). I figure the elastic on the circle skirt will give itself nicely for maternity wear.

Now for the inspiration for my skirt. I want to find a similar fabric to that in this skirt. I love the floral...

going western

It appears that western themes are infiltrating the fall looks and I love it.

red tights

This picture makes me miss my red tights. Perhaps it is time to invest in another pair.
Via Ali loves Curtis

summer's coming

I love this dress from Issa. I am so ready for summer.

best of the oscars

I am so glad everyone stepped it up for the Oscar's. There was no shortage of beautiful and interesting dresses, that is for sure.
Hailee Steinfeld looked fantastic and gets bonus points for choosing an age appropriate dress.
Loved Sandra Bullock's red dress, gorgeous.
Cate Blanchett gets an honorable mention since her dress looked awful on TV but it photographed well.
Camila Alves with the best black dress of the night, no question.
I love Hillary Swank's dress but she needed earrings or a necklace or perhaps even a bracelet to go with it. It is the Oscar's after all.
I thought Mandy Moore looked glam.
Rhea Durham had one of the most beautiful and interesting frocks of the night.

Who was your vote for best dressed? Mine is a tie between Sandy and Camila Alves.

iconic style

I love Kate Middleton, or Princess Catherine as she will soon be known. There is some debate about whether she will be a style icon or not. My vote is definitely, if for no other reasons than stores that sale/sold the clothes she wears are re-issuing and selling out of those clothes.

I love her fascinators and hats particularly. And how she tied this scarf.

I am going to have a wedding watching party and I am thinking it should involve hats and fascinators...

the graduate

I am presenting a research paper next month for a graduate research fair. I need a professional look, here is what I am thinking...

I think I want to pair this cardigan with one of the first two dresses for a professional/scholarly look...

The finer things dress gives kind of a sailor-ish look. I love this dress.

A classic little black dress

This kalanchoe blooms dress is way out of the price range but so lovely.

The cause for celebration dress- a little too short for me but so gorgeous.
