Top 10 before 2010!

I cant believe this year has already come to an end. 09' held so many memorable pieces of history for us all, some good and unfortunately some bad. This years fashion has been on it's A game and I am hoping it continue for years to come. I was exposed to so many new designers and I am so glad. They totally changed my views on alot different pieces and how a garments fit should actually fit. Hopefully the year to come will bring you all nothing but happiness and more memorable moments to look back on. So without further adu here some things I learned and some top 10 memories of 09' :

10. Learning to let go of people who are not worth holding onto. Jimmy's new years resolution last year was to not let people walk all over him. I kinda walked right into that one (no pun intended), I was then able to notice if people were taking advantage of me or were just all around feeding me their negative energy. Everyone has their own issues and deals with them differently but it is easier to deal with your own when you are surrounded by pure and positive energy.

9. Red Lipstick - damn you just make a girl feel like a 1950's movie star! Loves you!

8. Our 1 year anniversary! It feels like just yesterday Jimmy proposed to me. I will never forget that exact moment and the joy it brought to both of our lives! ily <3>

7. Kaight! Since I have been working at this wonderfully green store I have learned so much. I am so blessed to have such an amazing job where I work with fashion and everything green. I have been exposed to new designers, fabrics, textiles, information and most importantly the amazing quality of organic products. It truly is amazing. I feel like I am putting in some work to help our environment by working here. So thank you to Kate for having and AWESOME business and showing me the ropes!

Onto the Designers

6. LuLu Frost.. I luluLUV you! I just purchased this fringe necklace and I am in love. Mine is a different version but same concept .. just longer. I get so many compliments daily I am surprised my necklace didn't explode yet! She is a NYC based designer who creates all one of a kind pieces made from antiques and small pieces of history.. hence the plaza number necklaces.

5. Erin Templeton - Let me just say Erin WOWelton! I cant even believe how much I am dieing over these bags. I am a complete handbag whore and i like pretty much anything unique but I would sooo sell my whole handbag collection just to have a few more of her pieces. Erin is based in Toronto and all of her bags are made from recycled leather jackets.. how cool is that? Of course they are all one of a kinders.

4. Swedish Hasbeens. It's that grungy meets sophisticated hardcore look. Which is what I like to see! I wear my lace up probably at least 4 days a week.. if not more.. Thank you for making such amazing heels I can actually walk in.

3. Dream and Awake. I must be dreaming when I look at your pieces because I am in complete awe. Once again, all one of a kind pieces. All made from recycled vintage fabrics. I have said this before and I will say it every time I talk about her dresses.. "I feel like I should be in the middle of Central Park twirling around and the birds and cute lil' animals will come dance around me." That's how magical these dresses are.

2. This year was when I really started to actually do and complete all my creative thoughts. Jewelry making aka Brooklynista Designs and crocheting. Both bring relaxation and ease to my day. The sense of accomplishing something that I love is even better. A BIG thank you to everyone and anyone who reads my blog.. I will continue making some magic and hope you all will enjoy!


1. Suri.. Got Damn, u light up my life.

Happy and Safe New Year to all!!

Enjoy your evening and New Year!!

Livin' on a "Prairie"

As you all know Prairie Underground is quite amazing. The first time I slipped into their tuxedo leggings I knew it was fate. Felt so soft, movable, right height, pretty much perfection. I had to get a 2nd pair. We were all sold out of the tuxedo style so I then bought the black on black with the pockets. I DIE! Now.. I must say I am becoming obsessed with the long hoodies. Beautifully designed and cut. The colors are also so specific it is easy to spot a Prairie piece through out a full rack. It has the musty ruggedness to it (in a good way) . That.. I am a hard core biotch color.
The collection is made from organic cottons colored with natural dyes. Prairie Underground was one of the 7 finalists picked last year for the Ecco Domani Sustainable Award! I am really hoping we will be getting the Triple Layer Hoodie in as well. Too cute! How awes. would a dress look under that? Man oh Man... I love. Till we meet my love, till we meet.
THANK YOU DAVORA AND CAMILLA FOR CREATING THIS BEAUTIFUL STORY!
