upcoming james+dunne fashion show

March 23rd, 2008

Hey guys! Sorry it’s been a while between posts, but I’ve been trying to acclimate to Austin living. Although it has only been five months here, my husband and I have been homesick for quite some time.

So, I am excited about coming home for the infamous james+dunne fashion show coming up this April. This event is a benefit for the DREAMS Arts Education Center Downtown (www.dreamswilmington.org). The show is inspired by Little Edie from the Grey Gardens documentary filmed in 1975. I will have six pieces in the show and here are three concept sketches for the show that I hope will entice you to come out to the show and donate to a great cause.

I will post more info about the event in the near future.

Texas, Wilmy, Fashion, crazy…

October 25th, 2007

Well…As many of you know, I have moved to Austin, TX. It has been one crazy ride, but Austin is definitely a cool place to be. Lots of music, art, and good times. I hope to have an online store up and running soon, but in the meantime if you would like to order a piece use my contact page.

Before I left Wilmington, a few of my new pieces were featured in the James + Dunne Jazz Age Fashion show. Well, I finally have a few pics to post, and have some extra time to do it, so here it goes. I would love to know what you guys think, so feel free to subscribe and leave some comments.

Thanks to Focus on the Coast , and photographer Chris Carlton for the pics, and a special thanks to James + Dunne Styling for putting on a great show, and asking me to be a part of it.
