I’ll take all black with a splash of metal, please.

There’s something about the rain that lights a spark of inspiration inside of me. Whilst laying in bed, post workout, I saw a clump of metal stashed under my dresser. Ladies, you know the metal I’m talking about… the large, tangled, mess of necklaces/belts that you swear you’ll untangle one day but let’s be honest they weren’t expensive enough to be worth your sweet time. In a sudden act of post-exercise enthusiasm I grabbed the metal ball, pliers, and wire cutter. Feeling inspired by the forever cool Jim Morrison leather garb and belts, I created a belt much like the ones I’ve been eyeing by Luv Aj via Stove Cold Fox. It may have taken three hours and two glasses of wine but it was well worth the effort. I have an amazingly slinky black slip dress (a little too large on my figure) and a pair of BCBG leather pants to wrap my metal chains around.

Now that you’ve seen my amateur creations, lay your eyes on the spectacular real thing, via Luv Aj.

On that note, I’ll take all black with a splash of metal, to go… Please.

Progression Pt 1

It took a heartbreak and a tool bag to finally muster the guts to post my first blog entry. I’ve modeled some for the past two years, studied textiles and sketched designs for less than that. However I like to think that style is a genetic predisposition; a blessing from the fashion goddesses and a curse for my bank account. Assimilating the wisdom of Ernest Hemingway I put “write hard and clear about what hurts” to practice. Fortunately, for you, enough friends and strangers witnessed the awful scene the sick f*** made public, so I’ll spare you the tears. To be frank, I am much more productive and creative when I am wronged anyways… Let’s call that resilience, with any hope. Instead, I will share my moody mood boards and inspiration for my style and design via The Pardon.

Please be friendly.
