Black Velvet (and inspirations)

OK so I've been working on a few new ideas for my shop, but decided that before I start getting fancy with patterns, lace, and beading, I needed to add a simple, yet CLASSIC collar to my shop. If you though "BLACK VELVET!" then you were right! I know velvet is more of a wintery fabric, but I'm really feeling a "good-girl-gone-bad" vibe for this Spring's trends . . . you know, the cropped leather jacket paired with  a daisy-print dress . . . which, of course, is nothing a black velvet peter collar can't make even MORE edgy, sophisticated, devil-may-care, etc . . . (whatever you want to call it!)
Anyways, I am sewing a few right now, AS I AM TYPING THIS POST (yes, I am the world's greatest multitasker.) Be sure to check my shop soon, but I promise to keep you updated on the blog :)

And with all that said and done, here are a few of my inspirations this month. A little Marilyn Monroe, Classic Rock, Dried flowers, Coffee and Tea, Reading, Sunshine, Baths, and lots of Daisies. Basically all the good things in the world. See more on my WeHeartIt!

April 1st--- Spring Spring Spring!

First off, I would like to apologize for my long absence . . . yes, I'm still alive!
I've been really busy working on a small collection for Spring, which should be up on my shop tomorrow.

I simply can not get enough of Spring! Everything looks so lively and fresh.

Spring! Previews, Thoughts, and Inspiration

First of all I hope everyone is enjoying the first day of Spring as much as I am!
To celebrate, I designed a new scalloped faux-leather collar, which will be up on the shop in the next few days! A little sweet, and a little devil-may-care, don't you think?

And of course there's nothing that says "Spring" like waking up and eating a TON of strawberries for breakfast! 
Below are some fabrics that will be making their way to the shop in the coming months.
I'm thinking of making double-sided collars and using relating patterns. . . what do you think? Any fabric suggestions?
And here are some of my favorite things right now. Click on the numbers below for the sources.
