Dress design for Shabby Apple dresses

Here is my design for the Shabby Apple Dresses contest. Being a competitive figure skater for 9 years, I am often inspired by dancewear. The way it fits to the body and shows the form is beautiful to me. I also love how comfortable and stretchy it is. I chose this design because I wanted to design something that was simple enough to be versatile, but fitted to make any woman feel beautiful. This dress is a beautiful silk jersey in a pretty peach colour that is flattering on all different skin tones. I thought that this dress would also be pretty in a chocolate brown and in a coal grey. Each section of the dress is color-blocked in subtle changes of the same colour. The front gathers and ties in back. There are also pockets in front. The silk-jersey is a great fabric because it never wrinkles, it stretches and it clings to the body in all the right places. A must have in your closet. Make it in black and it could be the perfect little black dress.

The Zoe

Last week I started an internship with a celebrity stylist...and at the same time found the Racheal Zoe project. It is really a great show for me to watch because it is so similar to what I am doing right now. There are three main characters; Racheal is the celebrity stylist, Taylor is her grumpy/moody assistant and Brad is the new guy who was hired on to be another assistant to help Taylor out, but Taylor is so mean to him all of the time and will never explain to him what she wants done...In my world There is the celebrity stylist, the assistant (who is the total opposite of Taylor, super nice and communicates well what she want from me) and me(Brad)the intern. So far I have loved working, it is just so great to be working in the industry, meeting new people and being surrounded by beautiful clothes. I love watching Racheal on the show, because she is so passionate about her work and the clothes... she looks at the pieces the way I do... like art.

80%20 Molly Peeptoe

I want these shoes so bad! They are on sale at Urbanoutfitters.com , but unfortunately they do not have my size. Oh I could cry!

Tan-Through Swimwear

I have been searching for a cute "tan-through" swimming suit, but cannot find one that doesn't look like it comes from the 80s. HELP! I am tired of having white boobies and bottom!

Vera Wang - Bridal

I am really into the drop-waist right now, especially in formal wear.

Valentino

This is why Valentino is/was one of the best. His color schemes, beading and draping are exceptional. Every woman wants to feel and look beautiful and Mr. Valentino sure knows how to do just that.

HAREM...YAY OR NAY?

Oh the trendy Harem pant... I know they may seem scary, but don't be shy. I have a pair and I love them! I spotted the harem pant about 2 years ago while backpacking through Barcelona, Spain. Everyone was wearing them. My husband and I were obsessed with the style there, all of the girls had the cool factor. About a year later the Harem pant started popping up in US magazines and now they are in most retail shops. Unfortunately I still think many Americans are afraid of them because it is such a different silhouette then what we are used to. Don't be shy my little friend, these babies are awesome.
