A few snaps from previous posts. On to bigger and better things.

I feel terrible for not posting in eons, but I have been so damn busy for weeks now! 
Working towards a promotion (finger's crossed) at one job...
...and a million samples to be cut at the other job...
...and a recent fitting for a custom wedding dress in my studio at home...
...and planning a trip to Ethiopia in just two weeks time!!! Phew . . . I can't believe I have managed any amount of sleep, but I just know it's all going to be worth it.
Here's a little snapshot of my work space at home and what's been keeping me occupied. 
I hope there are still some readers out there!

I know, I know, the pre-fall and fall collections have already hit the runway, meaning I am now months behind.
But, where I'm from, it's still considered winter and I can't skip over a whole season when I haven't even had a chance to enjoy the perfection that strutted down the runway for spring/ summer 2012.
So, I've posted a few of my favorite looks to sum up what 'warm weather dressing done right' will look like this year. 
Crisp, clean and elongated silhouettes done with soft fabrics in bold blocks of color.

To buy: a red dress for day, a bright tailored blouse, and an elongated blazer/ vest.

2012

Merry Christmas and Happy New Years to all! 
Resolutions so far include Ethiopia, homemade haute couture, and eliminating the word 'impossible'.
