Sherbet Lemon












I'm wearing; Vintage Kimono, YourEyesLie inner galaxy tee, TopShop crushed velvet leggings, La Dama Pyramid necklace, All Saints Boots

Love this galaxy tee, I'm practically living in it! However a tiny note on the tank is that the back is not printed, it's solid black and as you can see in the neckline, the tee is a digital print so you can see the (original) white in the neckline and at the side-seams!!

and I'm so sad, yesterday my tiny little pet mouse Sherbet Lemon died :( (little brother of Whizzbee)

leatherette






Wearing; Anywho Kobra Elisabeth Jacket, Marc Jacobs silk light blue shirt, H&M faux leather pants, Ebay buckle boots.

If you ask me the best ways to wear leather pants are with classic (light blue) shirts and heels, striped long sleeve tees with (low) converse all stars and low cut tank tops and boots. So naturally I don't play by my own rules and wear the pants with a classic shirt and high buckled boots instead of sophisticated sleek heels *sign* Whats wrong with me?

Leather pants are a real investment piece, I think when you find a pair that fits perfectly you need to be willing to spent on it, obviously these fauxies aren't, and obviously I went cheap on myself with a refusal to spent on a perfect pair.
*sign* Something is definitely wrong with me!

Vintage Haori












wearing; Vintage Haori Kimono, Zara silk top, Top Shop Wedges, stylebysofia skirt (not seen)


The vintage Haori kimono is kind of my new thing, the length is shorter so I can wear it as a shrug/jacket, the heavy weight of the silk and the patterns and colors make for a perfect item to mix although I must say I'm clumsy when it comes to the sleeves,, knocking everything over!

I have a collection of about 6 kimono's now, I try to sheer away from the classic Japanese patterns a bit to make the look less obvious and have fallen in love with the bold geometric patterns although they are a bit harder to come by, so far my collection consists of a lot of pastels and tie-dye's, all vintage and all silk!

comparing paws














wearing; TopShop Wisteria Wedges

Some of the in-between shots we took while doing a little shoot for a Nylon Japan feature.

Nova is a natural, she always likes to sleep where the action is; on my laptop, on the book I'm reading, on my towel when I come out of the shower, in the sink when I try to brush my teeth, on the clothing while I try to get dressed...

The thing is she has a talent to make me doze off while I'm trying to get something done by simply crawling on me or by settling herself closely against me to sleep..
even editing these photos made me long for a little nap!

Lavalune Internship

Lavalune is a dancewear and yoga-inspired activewear apparel manufacturing business. The company is a small business selling wholesale and e-commerce retail, but the plan is to further expand into new wholesale markets in 2011. The internship will involve design, pattern-making, cutting, sewing samples, and possibly contract sewing. Heavier emphasis will be on pattern-making, design, and cutting. The intern may also be able to participate in occasional wholesale sales meetings, tradeshows, or attend the apparel mart.
Qualifications
Must have good pattern-making skills and good understanding of fit
Be able to offer new design ideas
Must have good sewing skills
Be detail-oriented
Be available immediately and ideally be able to continue through the summer (time commitment is usually a few hours a week but there could be some busier weeks)
Fabric knowledge helpful – especially pertaining to drape and stretch capability
Have real samples of your own work (that you’ve sewn) ready to show
Work from home is OK, so hours are flexible, but be willing to meet about once per week or as needed (Lewisville area near I-35).
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Please submit a resume and 3 pictures of clothing/samples you’ve made. Plan to bring these when we meet. I will be calling to interview starting immediately.
