French Dot Impetus!

Suddenly as I consider my wardrobe options for exploring the events of Fashion's Night Out in NYC tomorrow night, I fear I have noting to wear in the possibly dreary weather. I think I'm going to try to make a little dress from the black cotton French Dot I posted about recently. Lets see if I can do it! Her is a VERY rough sketch I just did of my foggy idea. . .

More Scarf Love!

Three more. First inspired by the Marc's Fall 2009 Runway show.



I love the idea of wearing a scarf over my earmuffs. I have a really cozy pair of black sheepskin earmuffs, and I think this scarf looks so cute tied around them. Perhaps a bit too literal, but cute nonetheless.

Scarf Love!

I got this beautiful Marc Jacobs scarf today! I was so excited that I started experimenting with it right away. I find the pattern very intriguing.

First, a scarf-shirt.


I made it asymmetrical by adding my giant safety pin from Marc's Spring 2009 collection.


Back to plain cowl-neck with a blazer.


And a cardigan.


I also tried knoting it, I did a kind of messy job though. Not sure if I like this option.

New Specimens

My most recent trip to the fabric store was decadently fruitful. Let me know if you have any suggestions for these amazing specimens.

The most beautiful olive velvet.


Two types(cotton and silk) of french dot, and a cool vintage piece.


This magenta taffeta looks amazing with the green/rust silk.


This cotton is heavenly, and I have quite a few pipping options that will look great with it . . .


Like this perhaps?
