Gucci Spring 2008

Oh how I wish Spring was here! She is wearing a dress from Gucci's Spring 2008 Collection. Love the tiny bit of yellow and the large graphic flower! Now if only I could afford to buy this dress myself...hmm

Self Portrait Challenge: What I Wear

This week (yesterday in fact), I wore blue tights:

I've been playing around with colored tights. Purple tights are my favorite (that was last week), so I thought I would try something new. I was really daring because I wore this to work at my white shoe firm here in Manhattan. I figured, you can wear a bright colored sweater why not tights? I pulled it off! It was fun, what color should I try next?!

Bold & Beautiful/Fashion Week Journal Entries

Below are two journal pages I completed tonight. I was cleaning and I found a bunch of old notes, papers, ticket stubs, that I had intended to use in my journal, but never got around to using them. I try to recycle invitations, notes from friends, and other items when creating my pages. My journal itself was a gift, but it is an altered library book using recycled paper & vintage fabric. I hope to carry the recycled/reused element throught the entire journal.

On the right, I used this week's Inspire Me Thursday "Bold & Beautiful" prompt and started to write/ramble much like I am currently doing with this post. I think I should do that more often.


Please keep in mind these entries are meant to be fun, lighthearted, and of course personal. The two pages are no way related to eachother in content, but I placed them next to eachother because I liked the pink/orange color combo. Anyway, here are the pages:

Handmade Photo Album

I made this photo album to add to my little sister's birthday gift. The pages are hand-cut, the front cover is a letter press sunburst print, the inner pages are a light pink color, I used a heart punch for the pages and tied close with a hot pink polk-a-dot ribbon. I really liked how my previous albums turned out, so I just expanded on those with a few extra touches. Now, I should make one for myself! ;)
