Bright Lights Big Sweater

Here is my latest creation...a recycled vintage 80's sweater purse. It was easy to make and I love that you can take something totally ugly and unwearable and turn it into something new and functional. It's like "beautiful garbabge".

Viktor and Rolf...Fashion Explosion

Viktor & Rolf Spring 05 Fashion Show (Full)
Uploaded by FBK1976. - Discover more life & style videos.

I just watched a documentary called "Viktor&Rolf-Because we're worth it" last night. It reminded me how much I love this fashion house. This show in particular has influenced me quite a bit. It's got all the elements I love about fashion:fantasy, concept, theme, escape, sex, fun, and power. Viktor&Rolf's theme for life is to create beauty and peace in the face of war and destruction. The power of love. Enjoy!

New Handmade Items!

Finally getting some new items listed in my store this week. These are the latest from Dark Pony Designs. 

This hair fascinator is called "Garden of Earthly Delights"...made from artificial flowers and a hair comb.

This is a recycled vintage cotton sweater that I made into a hot little sweater tank, that doubles as a mini dress...ooo la la!

Black.White.Animal Print.Marilyn. Oh My!

I love Dolce and Gabanna. They are always right on the money. This show is from the Fall/Winter 2009-2010 collection. Love the strong silhouette with the big shoulders, cinched waist, and killer accessories. Serious fashion with flirty detailing. I even love this U2 remix they used...check it out!
