Penelope Tree

I am not yet a woman of a certain age (or maybe I am – what is a certain age?) but I am in a transition time where I recognize that some of my wardrobe is maybe too youthful.  I want to start making more classic and mature selections for my wardrobe.  Penelope Tree is [...]

Ulyana Sergeenko

I have a major style crush on Russian fashion designer and photographer Ulyana Sergeenko.  Her Spring/Summer 2012 collection is a must see.

alabama chanin

Natalie Chanin is an inspiration.  I often day dream that I will be able to create fine up-cycled items after I retire.

vintage scarf dress

Did you see that Marni is doing a collection for H&M?  I love the mix of patterns.  It re-ignited my interest in trying to create a dress from vintage scarves.  The first time I wanted to attempt this was after watching the Dries Van Noten Spring 2010 runway show.  The dresses above are made by [...]
