Feeling Fallish

By on September 19, 2012

It is right around the corner, it seems.  Pretty soon the colors are going to be changing.  It definitely feels Fallish in our office.  I have been freezing!  I figured a nice pair of slacks would keep my legs warmer at least. Did you know that for a brief period of time that GAP actually […]

A fashion icon challenge

By on September 18, 2012

For week #2 of Project Run and Play, the challenge was to sew something inspired by a fashion icon.  I can only imagine how many entries will have something to do with Audrey Hepburn (a good choice for sure)! I was looking more for designers that inspire me, and no one inspires me more than […]

It was a black and white week

By on September 17, 2012

After making my little Diva’s black and white wardrobe, I felt the need to dress the same.  Unfortunately, I only got a photo of one of the outfits, though I wore several that week in that vein.  This wasn’t even the cutest one, and certainly didn’t photograph well.  It was much better and thinning in […]

Bias cut dress

By on

I decided to participate in Project Run and Play’s season this time for the sew along.  The first week was pattern remix, where you were supposed to make your take on a bias cut skirt.  This is quite a leap from that skirt, but still has to do with bias cuts.  I am also late…like […]

Easy, breezy

By on September 15, 2012

When I got up on this morning and looked outside it was really, really windy.  The weather gods were blowing in a warm front, and there was a heat advisory that day. Even so…cold office. This outfit marries the two a bit.  It is nice and comfortable, but can be made cooler by taking off […]

No brush Friday

By on September 14, 2012

This morning was a nice Friday.  I had slept with the windows open, which always gives me a good night’s sleep.  The wonderful crisp air, while snuggled deep in your blankets…truly that is what Fall is all about. I got up from my well-rested sleep and dressed for our casual Friday’s at the office, which […]

A capsule wardrobe for the Little Miss

By on

I don’t normally post pictures of my kids on this blog, but since it is about style and fashion I thought I would this time.  Plus I have a ton of pictures I need to go through for my outfits, and I just haven’t had the time or inclination to sit at my computer to […]

The rockstar clothing S.W.A.P.

By on September 8, 2012

This past week I took my annual first-week-of-school-sewing-bonanza-time-off.  I managed to work out most mornings and then do some sewing. Gettin’ stuff done!  Whoo hoo! The girl wanted rock star clothes (BLING) and she likes black.  This turned into a S.W.A.P. (sewing with a plan).  I wanted to have a wardrobe that she could mix and match.  […]

Summer scarf

By on August 27, 2012

I am not one to usually wear scarves in the summertime.  Perhaps I am a bit claustrophobic.  I have a hard time wearing turtlenecks in the wintertime, too.  This is a nice lightweight scarf, though.  It was just a bit of a sheer fabric I found in a remnant bin at the fabric store.  I […]

Garnets and roses

By on August 24, 2012

I have tried just about every type of crafting/creative endeavor.  I love art and creating things.  What I didn’t get a chance to do in school art classes, I have tried in my adult life.  One of those was making jewelry with gemstones and beads.  I’d love to learn how to make jewelry with metals and soldering tools.
