Save the Date!

With the colder air these days, we're all getting a taste of the fall to come... and with that comes the best time of the year for fashion (the latest issue of Vogue is the heaviest ever).

Myself a bit bed ridden over the past week, we are excited about the week ahead, full of final samples being completed, a photo shoot towards the end of the week, and preparations for the week after that... FNO (aka Fashion's Night Out). Save the date, Friday September 10th! Pop by Tabula Rasa for drinks, dancing, and to view my f/w 2010 collection (and see me!)

I heart pretty Mannequins

Popped by Tabula Rasa today and was all smiles to see the mannequins all in my dresses!

I have always wanted one of these mannequins for home or my dream studio, an ever-changing platform for my artwork... just not sure if she would creep people out? Maybe not appropriate for the house... would probably scare me in the middle of the night.

Feeling Romantic...

Ever since I dropped off pieces to the store, and the new girl working named each design, I've been feeling romantic. Such names as "film noir" (one shoulder black ruffle dress), "one shoulder love" (one shoulder ruffle blouse), and "vive la france" (long cream and black pinstripe dress) had me buying up a lot of lace last week.

Two styles are going in the store tomorrow... the "one shoulder love" in lace and another below; long sleeved, naked shoulder, and super comfy, named "l'amour partout" (love all over). Wear it with a camisole or when you're feeling romantic, with nothing underneath.
