*push*

Sometimes you need a push- creatively. Working on a bouquet for a client that is completely handmade. She is pushing me back to the things I like best- vintagey, muted colors, LOTS of texture, imperfect perfection. Sometimes feedback can take you to creative places you forgot existed.

J.Crew- LOVE!

I've always been a Anthro/J.Crew kinda girl, but the July 2010 J.Crew catalog is driving me crazy, I can't stop paging thru it!!!! I have been wanting a pair of oxford shoes forever and these are soooo perfect! Loving the shoes in both Anthro and J.Crew lately. Also, I stopped by the Scottsdale store recently and found a terrific sale got the perfect pair of cotton skinny trousers for less than $20!!

pretty, pale peonies...

Custom peonies- hand dyed to perfectly pale ivory and cream.
