Vintage shopping

Isn't this dress beautiful? I found it at a vintage shop!

A tub full of buttons! I got a bagful!

Wedding guest dress

Cassi and I at the wedding. Doesn't she look beautiful?
My roommate from freshman year, Cassi Lee, now Cassi Cheney, got married! So of course I had to get a new dress! ...or update an old one! That's exactly what I did. :) This is a hand-me-down dress that I accidentally put in the washer... where it was simply not allowed to be. So the fabric got a little bit drab looking... I think the patch work transformed the look from drab to vintage!

Inspiration collage


If you collect enough scraps from various magazines, you can turn time wasted watching a movie into time well used creating inspiration!

Night on the town!

I hemmed an old choir dress for a fun girl's night with Sara Perkinson! My necklace also broke, so I tied it up with a velvet ribbon.

Sometimes I inspire Vogue

I definitely designed this dress for my roommate Dani Mendel, in 2010. Way to rip off my idea, Vogue!

Valentine's Day!

With my darling friend, Emily.
My day time ensemble.
It's the only time when you can really wear pink and red together!

My evening outfit for my date with Taylor.
This is a dress I modified.
 It used to have horrendous sleeves!
