a day without…
without shoes that is! I promised myself this year I would partake in the Tom’s Shoes call to go without shoes for a day. That is NOT easy her in MN since April 10th usually still means snow so this year I was determined since we’ve had better weather this winter than some of the southern states (YEAH!!). But little did I know the temp would drop and that day it would be a frigid 43 degrees. I did what I could and went the majority of the day without, despite the stares! It’s a good reminder that some people don’t ever...

I recently was approached to give some consulting on style character developement for a movie project. Can’t really give specifics but I immediately thought of Amelia Earhart. What an amazing person she was! I forget about how amazing until I do some research and realize just how much. I can’t imagine all the challenges she faced being a woman in a man’s field. But she stayed strong, followed her dreams and did it with style. Amelia this post’s for you! Such a stylish lady!! Amelia Inspired Fashion Inspired...

After hearing all the buzz yesterday about the racist comments made by some fans of The Hunger Games, I felt the need to comment. I know I’m not the only one commenting but I just wanted to say what I wanted to say! I don’t feel the need to even respond about the comments made regarding the actress that played the part of Rue. They are just ignorant, narrow-minded and miss-informed! Seriously, if you can’t read a book completely and really absorb what the story and images that the author is trying to show you, then you are NOT a fan and...
read moredreaming of….Gryson
Even though I design bags, I come across certain designers that make me want to give in and buy a high end bag sometimes…enter Gryson! Definitely worth saving up for!! The Turnstyle collection REALLY caught my attention and is exactly my style. It’s a mixture between color and neutral, classic and funky, new and vintage. I LOVE the turnstyle locks on each bag and the softness of their leather. Here are some of my favorites from all of the collections! More styles here!...

I love a good DIY project and usually have several going at one time. I don’t discriminate either, I do DIY for both home decor and clothing and accessories!

No, I’m not featured on their site (wishful thinking) BUT I do prowl their site on a daily basis. I get inspiration for fashion, costume and set designs and above all else DECORATING!! I LOVE going there and sometimes think my friends and family must think I’m a little obsessed because I often find myself saying….’I found it on Apt. Therapy…’! Just for your viewing pleasure, here are inspiration photos taken from their site that I will be using as inspiration this weekend during the 1st Apartment Makeover in...

I definitely have found a new love of styling and interior design that sprouted up when I was going to school. I knew I loved decorating and always looked through magazines but until I really started exploring what I love to do in my spare time, I didn’t realize how close my relationships with fashion and interior design actually were! I have been working with the 48 Hr Film Festival team that I met about 3 years ago for a while now and have done both set and costume design. I am currently working on a new film where I will be the sole...

I also helped out with photography at ‘The Dance for Life’ fundraiser. This event was amazing! The location was at the top of the IDS building. I have to say I LOVED the combination of a fashion show and dancer performance. Of course, I thought the choreography was amazing and it was done by a former classmate John-Mark Hostetler. It was fun to see his work and what he is doing now! It was definitely a unique event that was fun to be a small part of! I also helped out with photography at ‘The Dance for...

This spring I had a couple of opportunities to again volunteer with MNFashion for MN Fashion Week. It was a lot of fun and I met some awesome people. Secrets Fashion Agency in Mpls. It was a fashion show that told the story of Alice in Wonderland from childhood to adulthood. The clothes were amazing and the atmosphere/venue was breathtaking. We had a lot of fun working this event.
