When you are happy & in love it shows...

...be one of the first to preview new & unlisted Autumn 2010 designs,soon to be available in my online shops for a short time only.

Jet Black, Silver Frilled Tulle Collar Silver Pearl Charmed Chain

I  remember yearningly singing along to Depeche Mode's "Somebody" and wishing upon a star that I would find my "Somebody". Well it only took 40 years but I have finally found mine and he is well worth the wait.  Joy, happiness colors everything I see, the new  designs are bubbling from me and through my hands as I spend many late nights on video chat with my love, currently in Vietnam which is 11 hours ahead of Atlanta time.

Fashion has always been a passion of mine, however; lately I find myself now very interested in men's fashion.  I love these boots, fashion forward yet understated of course Burberry is a hallmark for such things.

Re-blog: The Men's Boot of the Season, Fashionising

The men's boot for the season > Men's Shoes & Boots > Blog

"It's the men's boot for the Autumn / Fall 2010 season. It's from Burberry. It's got overtones of aviator-cool, with a shearling lining that is going to turn heads. It's perfect for the redefined men's military fashion trend. And it's a work of art."

Trend: Future Warrior

reblogged fashion trends article
Written by Tania Braukamper


"...A combination of the military fashion trend and the more savage side of the tribal fashion trend, the new warrior leaves the formal and decorated style of military detailing behind. The ancient world is at the centre of this trend - from ancient Rome, to Egypt, to the Celtic warrior woman. To bring the look into 2010, the historical elements are modernised or melded with futuristic twists."
