Pump it UP!

As many of you know I am a shoe aficionado and I've been having withdrawals the last three months. I've been taking a look around and am seeing some pretty exciting trends for 2011.

Remember when I mentioned color? Well, color blocking in shoes is a must AND you know me...I love color; so color on my feet is very yummy.

Pastels are emblematic of romanticism and this season the romantics are taken to new levels. Studs, peep toe, strappy...oh yummy.
Major one: thick heels. Yes they snuck in about 3 years ago, but now they will be acclaimed by the masses. These heels make you feel strong, confident, and in demand!

And these are just eye candy.love love love
Stay fabulous my friends!

Look #1 Complete!

So it's finally here! The coat was turned in today :D 1 down and 5 more to go by the end of April. In this picture you see Kristy, my model for the coat. These are a few pictures of the coat before it was fully lined. Being that this coat is double breasted I'm pretty sure I will go back and add two more snaps to the inside of the coat so that the coat bottom layer will not swing out. Other than that I think it looks fabulous! Add some heels, a French twist, and some DVF 1970s sunglasses and this girl is ready to stand and deliver! It feels good to see my design on someone else (and I can touch it!). As you can see The coat changed a bit on the front my original design in that there is a continuation of the yoke fabric down the opening edge of the coat.

The back has an inverted pleat that is currently sewn down (in the pic it's pinned down) so that it will maintain it's shape until it's actually worn.

By the way, I recently stumbled across Adobe Photoshop and I have to say, I love a quite a few functions in there. Look at what I was able to do in the first pic; I cut her silhouette out and pasted it onto another pic...pretty cool. Now onto collection look #2 dress and a jacket. Show me with some pics, what dress/jacket combos make you feel sassy?

Stay fabulous my friends!
