THE TRADE WINDS ARE CALLING...

     The spirits of Hawaii and other tropical paradises have become muses for designers such as Prada, Charlotte Olympia, Michael Kors and Zara. (Charlotte Olympia's new collection, "Overboard" was inspired by mermaids and all things nautical.) Along with the "island vibe," there have been a frenetic burst of color and flowers. With the weather being as dreary as its been, yes even California has been affected, these things are a sight for sore eyes! Below is a mixture of things I'm dying over- I'd like to call it "Island Pin-Up Meets English Garden."

SNOW WHITE AND HER JEWELS

   Even though Halloween has come and gone, I'm still feeling inspired by fairy tales and their characters. My most recent collage features a peek into Snow White's mind and what's she craving for this winter. Lots of floral, shimmer, and sophisticated shapes!
