inspiration: Practical Magic
"Some things, when they change, never do return to the way they once were.
Butterflies, for instance, and women who’ve been in love with the wrong man too
often."
—Alice Hoffman, in Practical Magic

urban renewal: vintage dress
This is one of my latest Urban Renewals...
I turned my mom's vintage dress from the 70s into a cool new crop-top, open back detail, fringed blouse...
What do you think?
I love altering clothes.. I don't think I'll ever stop.
... Beware you, silly old garments in my closet... you've been warned!

yesterday
"I can’t go back to yesterday because I was a different person then."
-Lewis Carroll, Alice in Wonderland
why not?
you say "why?"
I say "why not?"
...that's something I always say when someone questions my behavior, tastes, dislikes, outfits, paintings, dreams, plans, thoughts...

channeling: the little mermaid
This will be a new section in my blog, "Channeling".
Lately I've spotted tons of look-a-likes... so I thought I'd share them with you.. and to start, here's one I couldn't believe I had missed before.. since, I watch The Little Mermaid almost every night since I was 9.. no kidding!
Franka Potente as "Lola" in the film "run, Lola, run"; looks exactly like the little mermaid; starting from head to toe: red, light purple and light green.

drawing room: regresa
"Regresa" is the spanish word for "come back" or "return".
I'm sure you've felt this way.... wanting something to return... youth or childhood; perhaps that money you spent and now regret; a departed to come back from dead; an ex-lover; a missing object, a best friend, a pet, a season, a specific moment in time; health, happiness, memories, good weather, school years.....
Sometimes I find myself screaming out loud that word... "regresa, regresa, regresa... regresa!" hoping that this way, it will come true. How many times must I pronounce that word?
What would you like to bring back?

Must have: summer wedge
Sky high, comfortable and wearable; that's what wedges are all about.
Many designers featured wedges in their spring-summer 2012 collections; they know these shoes are a crowd's favorite and also timeless in the fashion scene; whether you choose them in raffia, leather (or faux leather), metallic, neon or the espadrille style; you won't regret it.

currently working on: horizontal cut-outs
One of my clients asked me to design her some tops with details on the back of horizontal lines in a cut-out way... These are 3 options I came up with.
What do you think?
Would you pick one of these 3?
Do you hate them all?
Am I fired?
I'd appreciate the feedback.. all opinions, good or bad, are welcome.

the look: tapestry
(photo via nylon mag)
Rita Ora clashes perfectly with the tapestry behind her... I don't know if you feel the same way as I do about this outfit, but I think she looks wicked cool!

bicolor kiss
I decided to experiment a little while applying lipstick... I thought.. why do we have to wear both lips the same color? or why should we color both lips instead of just one for that matter?
Would you wear lipstick in different shades for each lip?
Would you apply lipstick only to the upper lip or only to the lower one?
Bicolor kiss.. do or don't?
