Bag IT!
I am always inspired by other talented designers. My new "Measure 4 Measure" Handbag was inspired by a Christian Louboutin sandal from a season or two ago that I thought was so cleverly designed. Check it out below!

Something New, Something Blue
Early Thursday morning my new fit model, Ila, texted me to say that she might be late to our afternoon appointment with George. No worries. It gave me a little time to sort out finishes and details and purchase alternative fabrics for some of those details. I realized that the denim I'd chosen was just too heavy and stiff. There would be no movement. And the foiled leather skins that I purchased, although really amazing, would be all wrong with my latest cocktail confections. So instead I chose a more supple, lighter weight denim and went with a luxurious silk faille. Most people don't know a faille from a taffeta, but you can definitely feel the difference. And it's about $15 more a yard! Trust me it's not only going to feel more fabulous, it is going to look more fabulous.
Working with a new fit model, a new tailor, and different denims has me feeling somewhat trepidacious. Let's face it, venturing off into the unknown is always a little unnerving. But 11 years ago, I made a decision to pursue something I really loved. And it constantly calls for me to press the refresh button and start anew. While keeping things status quo makes me feel very comfortable, there is no growth and no evolution. And there is definitely no way for me to become the successful fashion designer I am meant to be if I am just maintaining. So the initial feeling of dread gives way to the excitement of possibilities. And that is why I try to welcome newness into my world. Because I know that I am only moving closer to achieving my goals.

Fashionably Ever After. . .
I know you hav
e watched those chase scenes in the movies or on your favorite television program when the good guy is on foot and in hot pursuit of the villain. And the offender is doing his damnedest to escape by throwing obstacles into the hero's path. That is what last week felt like for me. Right now all I want is to create 7 distinctive, well-made, stylish denim cocktail dresses to see if fashionable women will support my vision and buy them. I don't think I am asking for much. I just want a chance to see if I can accomplish what has eluded me for 11 years. But I declare that there is someone or something every step of the way to thwart my plans. I relied on someone to take one of my illustrations and sew it into existence. We've worked together on other projects over the last few years, and had, for the most part, a wonderful working relationship. But this time I was left in the lurch when a deadline could not be met. And then I was given major attitude when I took umbrage. But just like the hero in the movies, I continue my chase and prevail. Thankfully, I've activated my plan B. So although I had to take a moment to regroup, I am moving forward. And this week is going to be filled with progress. Because the good guy always wins.
