This photo was from my short trip to the outside world today.
Andy decided to make a second box for our vegetables unfortunately it is too late to plant anything new for this summer but it is still good to place it for next year.

Standing inside of it I am wearing distressed Express jeans bought for $19.99 and altered 6" to be clam digger length
Zara black and white star chiffon blouse

Vintage sunglasses
Dave Sheely Tiki Ring from Etsy (this was the ring that I collaborated with him to make that is now named after me)

Black BCBG outlet T-strap heels

Evil eye anklet from Comfest

For the rest of the day I have spent it in the basement working on my menswear blocks for dress pants and a shirt. Testing in muslin is tomorrow. I also need to talk to the shoe designer about the fabrics that I need to purchase immediately to ensure there is time to make the menswear before the shoot. I think I am going to Miami for the photoshoot? Not so sure. Things are still very up in the air and confusing. Like the colors and the fact that the prototypes have not come in yet so who knows what it looks like.

Otherwise my favorite new pattern room toy is my single hole punch Rabbit!

In the Works

I know I don't update as much as I should.  unfortunately my life only seems to be exciting once a month?

I do have some very promising things going on.  I am making lingerie for a Local Lingerie and Shoe Boutique called "Undone".  It is super exciting for me because they will be the second person that has ever whole sale bought from me and the First who has whole sale bought from me that is actually clothing!   I am also going to do a trunks how there once I get more of my stuff together and organized.

I am also meeting with a potential connection to have my clothes in a commercial Photo shoot for some new shoe company and to possibly provide the clothes for their runway show in November.  There is the possibility of me being a Part of the next Agora which is very exciting to me.  

I am still searching for a Male Fit model that I can use that is dependable.  I really want to start to get into menswear again.  I think I may just have to give up and use the male mannequin body that I have.  

Also in CCAD news this summer will be QUITE busy for me!  I am also very excited to be teaching so much.  I will be doing two summer workshops and I think I am going to make it almost all challenge projects like "Project Runway" or just stuff I remember doing in College that made an impact on how I design and look at Fabrics.  In addition to the Work shops for high school students I will be doing the Advanced Pattern Drafting and Construction class for Continuing Education and College Preview for the High School students.   I will be so busy this summer and it will be AMAZING!!!

I just love to create, teach and collaborate!

Speaking of Collaborate I did a custom order on Etsy a while ago and the Artist always said he would name the ring after me if he kept making and selling them.  I thought he was just being polite and yanking my chain a little but he actually did!  The Esther Ring!
