Wrap Up: Project Runway. Season 5. Episode 3.

I have to admit…I was ready to throw my hands up in fed-upishness at the end of this episode if I didn’t see something. Something good. Something that stayed with me. And, I’ll also admit that I thought there was no way in hell that I would see this “something good.” But, then there were [...]

What’s good enough for Steven Heller is good enough for me.

I subscribe to PRINT magazine’s Daily Heller. It’s a blog + daily email thought from designer Steven Heller. I was very happy to see that his little thought of the day was about Anthropologie and how, if he were a female, he’d be right there next to me, spending his hard-earned money:
If I wore women’s [...]

Craftuesday. Week 5.

After a long day of back-to-back meetings, I found myself thinking, “how can I get out of this Craftuesday thing this particular Tuesday?” But guilt overtook me and I decided to at least do something…no matter how small.
So, I decided to take another stab at the ol’ headband idea. With the new mullet, I’ve been [...]

Indieana Handicraft Exchange 2008: Call for Vendors

I received a vendor application for Indieana Handicraft Exchange 2008 yesterday. Although I haven’t been very prolific when it comes to craft lately, maybe some of you have. Here are the details from the email:
This year, the fair will be held on both Friday, October 3 and Saturday, October 4 at the Harrison Center for [...]

I has a mullet…

…albeit a slightly modern-ized version of it. But, it’s a mullet. And, well, I love it.

Now, I must go buy new product.

Last week’s disappointing Project Runway episode and why I haven’t written about it yet.

Sigh.
I really thought something was wrong with me that I strongly disliked Suede’s wrappy-strappy-rootin’-tutu-in’ dress. But, there is a little angel who consoled me and made me feel that all was right (or, at least, kind of right) with my fashion perspective. His name is Christian Siriano and this season’s bunch of seemingly lukewarm designers [...]

The Toggery. Movin’ on up.

I had breakfast this morning with two of my lovely lady friends. I still reek of bacon.
One of our many topics of discussion was how The Toggery, a local Broad Ripple consignment boutique, was moving to a new location. I came home to find more info about the move but, sadly, couldn’t find any information [...]

I’m In Love With: The Fashion from AMC’s Mad Men

The red lips. The curves. The beautiful, lush fabrics used for the dresses and skirts paired with cardigans and puppy-hugging sweaters. AMC’s Mad Men decorates the female form in some of the most adorable, and sometimes sexy, designs of the early 1960s.

That era of fashion makes me want to throw out all of my jeans [...]

Craftuesday. Week 4.

My Craftuesday time was cut short last night. After an early evening meeting, cooking dinner and taking the dog for a much-needed walk, I was left with an hour or two before I was ready to call it quits.
Luckily, I had seen these simple little headbands at the Pitchfork Music Festival’s Department Craft Tent. They [...]
