Beach ideas
Sea Urchin tealight holders
I have been asked to provide wedding decorations for Los Monteros and have been putting together some ideas based on a beach theme as it is such a wonderful beachside setting. Here are some of the images I have put together for my own inspiration and some of the ideas I have are to use a white, blue and touch of orange theme.
I have designed a setting with white crystal organza chair decorations which will look amazing in the Spanish sun, white pebbles, clear AB and turquoise Swarowski table crystals, tall vases filled with turquoise gel and exotic foliage, white sea urchin tealight holders, blue and orange orchids, orange fans tied with raffia and white paper lanterns.

Winter 2007: Bone White Wool Shift Dress
This dress has been on my winter wish list for...years ("bone white wool shift w/buttons and seaming detail"). This fall I finally found the five hours, and the fabric, to make it. Modeled by Jamie, photographed by Josh Elliott.
LILLIS OF THE FIELD
A recent post by Peggy Lo of Figments revived my love for Lilli Ann coats. The '50s were a glorious era for coats--all that volume and pleating, big Bakelite buttons, bell sleeves with deep cuffs, pockets galore for compacts, lipsticks and Buick keys. Lilli Ann was the queen of the swing coat, that ladylike silhouette in miles of mohair or luxurious wool. While I'd love to own this downy apricot darling, my own Lilli Ann is no slouch. No slouchy hoodie, either. This is a coat with class. The mottled weave! The bracelet sleeves! Double-knit insets! There's a matching black double-knit belt, but the buckle gives the whole thing a goth Santa Claus look. Lilli Ann coats are not rare, just underloved. I rescued mine from Buffalo Exchange...the beginning of a beautiful friendship.
BICYCLE FASHION FEATURE IN DEC. VOGUE
My comments weren't as subtle or inspired as I would have liked, but I did get to mention my Bianchi Milano bicycle--my beloved mode of transport. I'm also glad they pictured my Hunter wellington boots. I first saw them on a girl in a bar in Copenhagen, Denmark. She looked so brilliantly, carelessly cool that I actually dropped something on the floor so I could bend close to her feet to read the label. Mine are neutral navy blue, but only because everything else in my life is yellow.
Sunny Side Up
Three recent projects. It's raining buckets outside, so it's been lovely to work with cheerful fabrics. L to R: custom wool crepe cropped jacket for a cool-weather bride, lemon yellow bias minidress for a fearlessly stylish client (to be worn to a wedding in Hawaii--with purple satin shoes and white-lacquered toenails), Over Easy Coat from my Fall 2007 collection.

Wedding Graffiti
A lovely idea for weddings and other events, a graffiti you can apply for the occasion as long as the venue lets you! It is supposed to be easily removed and if you check out their website they even do wedding cars, a great idea to personalise your wedding or even your home.
"Wonderful Graffiti is very thin pieces of matte vinyl that look "printed" when applied to most smooth surfaces.Your entire wedding Graffiti design arrives on one sheet of transfer paper. Just tape the transfer paper into place, burnish it down and peel it away. Wonderful Graffiti removes quickly, and won't harm underlying surfaces."
