Even Cowgirls Get the Blues

It's been a while since my last post. I had to go out of town for some family stuff and have been dealing with a lot. It hasn't been the best couple of weeks but now things seem to be looking up again. But hey, that's life right?

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger.....

A Soldier of Love

I fell in love with Dolce and Gabbana's Spring 2013 runway collection.  There was one dress in particular that I have been pining over since I saw it but sadly it's just a tad out of my budget.  It has the most exquisite print of soldiers on horses surrounded by red fabric.  So imagine my joy when I was browsing a website and found a very similar dress with a very similar print! Now being a designer myself, I can't really condone knockoffs....but this one was so good I needed to get it.

Ah, the guilty pleasures of life....

A Leopard Never Changes It's Spots

There's a lot of truth to the saying a leopard never changes its spots. It's been one of those weeks. But it won't change my love for leopard's spots....hahaha

Trying to finish up some projects. Good night!

Fashion Show Fever

I helped dress models for our fall kickoff fashion show at work the other day.  It was a lot of fun but it made me miss doing my own runway shows.  The last show I did was in February 2011.  I won a competition and I got to showcase my collection during London Fashion Week. (See video below for highlights.) Prior to that, I showcased every 6 months for LA Fashion Week and also participated in several charity fashion shows benefitting various organizations. It was a fashion show frenzy for a while. Hectic but I loved every minute of it. That being said... It's been way too long so I've started making plans for next year and I'm really excited.  Stay tuned for updates....It's going to be big :)

I've got the fever again....

Girl...You a Bad B*****

Anyone who knows me calls me the girliest girl they have ever met. So once in a while, when I do wear something more "masculine" people are somewhat shocked but in a good way. There was one compliment I got that made me chuckle all day. I was crossing the street and a woman drove past, rolled down her window and said, "Girl.....you a bad bitch. You look fierce."

Good night to all you fierce bad bitches out there. lol

Flying High

People always tell me that I've got my head in the clouds and that I have these big lofty dreams which only sets me up for disappointment. But I don't look at it that way. I figure if I set my goals really high and let's say I only get halfway there, I would be thrilled with what I accomplished. And if I get it all, I might pass out from the shock and excitement.  It definitely takes a lot of hard work and causes more heartbreak than any human being should ever subject themselves to but I will never stop trying. That said, I've got some dresses to work on this weekend to give to one of Hollywood's top 25 celebrity stylists for his beautiful client. Fingers crossed she wears one of them!

Go big or go home!

I love the details of this dress. The birds are hand painted.

On The Grid

I saw this dress on Blair from Atlantic Pacific and desperately wanted to buy it but it was sold out on Asos. I stalked ebay everyday for a month and just when I was about to give up, I finally found one!  I love everything about this dress. The silhouette is very 1950's and flattering on everyone and the black and white grid pattern is so on trend right now. Such a great score!

Let's go to the hop!
