I don’t think I have expressed my love for thrifting before on this blog. So here it is, I love thrifting. For me, thrifting started out of a need to furnish my apartment on the cheap, but has grown into a bit of a passion. Obviously saving money is a HUGE benefit, but I like that… Continue reading A Refashion Inspiration
Some projects in life require a lot of trial and error. This dress is one of those projects. The entire dress ended up being made twice, and not to be outdone, the photoshoot required a reshoot as well. At least there was consistency throughout! I have loved this navy and tan houndstooth fabric from the… Continue reading Houndstooth Dress (Original Design)
This story is one that is strange to tell. It started hopeful and ended with failure… sorry to blow the ending. Several years ago, 2009 to be exact, I began a business. The business idea was simple, make beautiful clothes and sell them. How could it go wrong?! Not being ready is the easiest answer I… Continue reading A Tale of Design
My feelings at this moment are readiness. I wrote about not believing in clean slates for the start of each year at the beginning of 2015. I guess the beauty of posting your words on the internet for all to see is to be able to completely contradict yourself later. I am ready for 2016.… Continue reading Ready
Up until recently I would have classified myself as a Christmas Scrooge. I thought the holiday was too commercialized, too rushed, too chaotic, and my list would have gone on forever. I hated Christmas music, except for N’SYNC Christmas. But I listen to N’SYNC Christmas year round so that doesn’t really count. But now, I… Continue reading Ornamentation
Before delving into this post, I want to start by giving respect to the bloggers that make their photoshoots look good. You know the ones. They look stunning and confident walking down a street with sunglasses and purse in toe, onlookers don’t even phase them. Teach a class on how you do this. I would… Continue reading Erin Li-Sik and the Blustery Photoshoot
I seriously considered starting this blog post with quoting Adele’s song “Hello.” It would have been fitting. It has been a little while since we last caught up, but I am back now. I hope that is good news to you. If not, I am at least happy to be back. One thing you may notice… Continue reading Hello
I have had this post planned for about 4 months… oops. Better late than never, right? This dress is one of my favorites. I designed and made it a few years ago, and it is still a piece that I love because of its comfort and ease of wearing. It’s bra friendly, yay! Long enough… Continue reading Original Dress Design
Our wedding was not at all traditional. And in honoring that, today’s pictures include the untraditional after ceremony activities of David and my’s family meeting for the first time, more awkward girl pictures, and some posed pictures of us with our wonderful guests. Let’s get started! Immediately following our vows, David and I both went… Continue reading Wedding Pictures, Take 2
