I'm back with some handmade rompers! Most of them are made from vintage fabric. Please have a look at my etsy shop for a closer look. I've also added a few sale items for $20 or less! My hours are spent constructing and my floor is covered in sequins. I think I'm in love.

romper room

Samantha Pleet and I were prancing around the studio when we realized there were more precious rompers than our hearts could handle. With the new spring line devouring a good chunk of studio space we decided to create an online shop and sell a few of her samples for cheaaaap(er) to create a bit of breathing room. I will keep you posted when the shop is officially up, there are going to be some amazing pieces coming your way.

I spent the afternoon scanning almost every image from Lula #8 because I have a problem. I just love it so! I think this issue is one of my favorites, what do you think? I have all the issues but the 1st one which I have to get over since I can't find it anywhere but on Ebay for $200. Ridicuuulous! Here are some of my favorite images and things from the latest issue.

All images from Lula except the pretty butterflies, bumblebees, and bows are from here!

Here are a few new things I added to my shop today! Above are some items that I made out of vintage fabric. I'm hoping to do a lot more of my own designs once I have a little more free time. Below are some spring time vintage items!

thanks to my mom and kenneth for taking pictures!

save me the last jazzy dance

I was thrilled to meet thee lovely Rachel Antonoff yesterday while helping Samantha Pleet with some last minute things before the two took off for a trip to Paris! Here we have Rachel's Fall 09 look book which is filled with catsuits and darling leotardst. You can blame the former Mooka Kinney designer if you see me skipping across the Brooklyn bridge wearing nothing but a leotard and tap shoes.

Oh how i dream of having a swimsuit like one of the above! Not that I should be thinking of purchasing a new swimsuit just yet (especially with a foot of snow outside) but I was really inspired by this photo set on flickr.
