NYFW F/W 2011: MARC JACOBS

 These hats are about the cutest things I've ever seen! Marc Jacobs always delivers statement clothes with just the right amount of femininity. Favorite things: swiss dot tights, pin up shapes, polka dots, teal, peach, black lace, and understated makeup.

Inspiration: FALLON

 I love Fenton/Fallon. This jewelry line is one of the reasons I craft jewelry. Their aesthetic provides amazing inspiration. I love this super cool late 80's-ish ad campaign. It's all about the power of making a statement.

This season of love has inspired so many amazing handmade creations on Etsy, that it's making my head spin a little bit. So many caught my eye, but I just couldn't include them all here. These are my favorites, the best of the best. I hope this collection inspires you to craft or buy something special and handmade this year.

Spring 2011: Dior Couture

John Galliano knows how to do that 40's-50's era so well. The contrast of a woman dressed in the softest pastels, with a face so sharply defined it could put Joan Crawford to the test! For me the most exciting item from this show was that blue hat. It is abstractly bird like, but at the same time it really does look like someone just drew it on top of her head and gently washed it with water colors. Amazing! I also had to throw this yellow strapless number in there. Nobody does classic couture like Dior.
