Hello March

April has showers.  May has flowers.  March has St Patty's and green.  I am loving the green for spring.  I discovered an amazing kelly green blouse in a thrift store, now in my Etsy shop.  A week later I was thrilled to see a very similar blouse walking down a London runway during the Bora Aksu show!

A little sunshine

Yellow Houndstooth ShortsThis morning rather than the hoped for golden sunlight, I awoke today to a timid grey light filtering through my window.  Boo, I was hoping for sunshine.  There was even a heavy layer of fog left from the night's rain,which soaked me while walking the pooch.  The absolute dreariness of my Sunday reminded me of my time in Scotland and England... beautiful scenery and even better accents;)  How to fashion designers there avoid constant dreariness?  Well, they add an occasional burst of sunshine to their collections.  My latest fav from the London's Fashion Week is the yellow and black skirt from Holly Fulton's Fall 2011 Collection.  My vintage splash of yellow is a brilliant yellow houndstooth high-waist shorts, which are in my Etsy shop.
