dreaming 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! Recently, Ruche.com added a new feature to their online shop. They now have a whole section dedicated to DIY projects and include them in their Look Books! Check it out: http://issuu.com/shopruche/docs/homemadeholiday Here are some of my...

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.

So I finally was asked to do the costuming for a local film project on a larger scale than what I’m used to. It will be a cast of about 40 people and I will be doing all the wardrobe designing. I’m really excited about the project and am looking forward to having another job where I can tell a story through design! I LOVE it and wish it was my full time...

Forever21 never ceases to amaze me with continual ability to stay on trend and give us the items we want for our wardrobes on a timely manner! They have such a great eye for what trends to grab onto and make available at a great price. It just makes sense! I mean, why pay hundreds for designer items when the trend will be gone in a month or two. I, myself, usually go for a certain look and don’t find the need to buy something because it has a name slapped onto it and they never disappoint...

This last Friday my daughter turned 18! It’s so hard to believe that she is now an ‘adult’ and has been here for 18 years. Time definitely does fly by. I’m so proud of her. Not knowing how the decisions you will make when you are raising your child is probably the most scary thing of all. How will you make sure to teach them everything you think they should know and stress the things you really want them to remember. It’s strange because so many people compliment me on my parenting saying I did such an awesome...
