Today I will finish up the Arts of Fashion events with a fashion show I am so honored becasue yesterday Susie Bubble enjoyed my outfit! go to her blog she said very flattering things!! I'm sad I wasn't brave enough to snap a photo of her Zana and her fellow employees hosted the party last night I snapped a photo of her looking great in her ruby reds and her new laced up amazing boots Oh and my Eley Kishimonto ostridge sweater was finally perfect for the unreliable weather

On the same day I found the amazing coat I found this 1950's cocktail dress green cupid earrings and a swirly hat finished the outfit On Saturday I took a friend across the golden gate bridge my outfit perfectly matched the bridge

Remember 101 dalmations? Well when it came out in the 1960's they created these great shoes!! This outfit was  and ode  to these hard to believe beauties

A 1920's cloche arrived today along with this 1950's purse the mice are playing cards My table is decked out with maple leaves

I found this hat It has a bee yeah I know... The spider socks arrived yesterday I'm obviously thrilled to pieces PS My hair is official blond

Usually my most successful collections come about when I have a themed obsession There is normally only 1 during 5 month cycle This cycle determines all my decisions grocery shopping gifts color choices supplies ebay searches research applied techniques contacts music philosophy hair color brooches Now not only do I have a main obsession but TWO side obsessions Main obsession 18th century goodness shells iridescence powder irregular scallops Grey hair glass trinkets black glossy ink curled feathers curls spirals Side obsession 1 Masks animals 18th century 1930 die cut see through Side obsession 2 Moons sparkly pins gold silver faces I'm terribly depressed these obsessions have to wait and possibly disappear forever My education is slowly killing me

I went to the De Young museum and listened to Candace Kling she talked about the historyof manipulating fabric and ribbons which consists of pleats folds rushing gathering bows flowers and in her case candy and chocolate ribbon techniques The next room over was filled with New Zealand weaving techniques that really excited me I then went to an Eco friendly fashion show/vendor event These were my favorites: and me black net hat with velvet mask and heart appliques beloved snake belt fox brooch obsession nude 1930's dress On to other fashion adventures...
