one old = two new
I’m so in love with this little vintage party skirt! It was originally a floor length number that I had hemmed to a bit above the knee. My wonderful tailor suggested she take the extra fabric and make another. What was one discarded vintage garment is now two beautiful, covetable, and totally wearable new pieces!

Fall florals

Carine, Carine
I popped into Barneys the other day and combed the designer ready to wear floors for the potential perfect white dress ( or something or other) to wear to my wedding. Unfortunately I was romanced by nothing…with the exception of the Carine’s world video installations dispersed throughout each floor. Totally romanced by Carine. Totally romanced by Carine in this months W mag as...
