BIG RED

I have been a loyal reader of Bazaar and Elle for as long as I can remember. I recently decided to expand my fashion subscriptions and added W and Vogue to my collection. The April Issue of Vogue was waiting on my doorstep when I arrived home from work yesterday. Eager to see what fashion inspiration it had to offer, I hurried inside to start my first flip through. I have always been one to peruse first just to look at photographs and then go back a second time to read articles. I was quickly struck by an image of Daria Werbowy in one of my favorite Lanvin dresses from the Spring 2011 Ready-to-Wear Collection. This is an absolutely amazing dress, but when you throw it on a gorgeous model and have some stellar photographers capture this work of art at it's full potential, it's seriously breathtaking. I mean, come on!

These are some other fabulous maxis from the Lanvin Spring 2011 Collection. I love how whimsical and feminine they all are. You can view the full collection here.

B'HAM HOME & GARDEN

I am up bright and early this Saturday morning preparing for a photo shoot with Birmingham Home & Garden. Flourish is being featured and we couldn't be more excited! We will be shooting with the talented Major Colbert. Mia and I will try to catch a few behind the scenes shots and post them later this week. Hope you all have a fabulous, sunny Saturday!

CRAFT LABS

I have been hard at work revamping and brainstorming for new Korora Studio classes. I have been collaborating with some great minds and am really pumped for what's in store. We will still be offereing all of our regular classes but have added a new section called Craft Labs. These classes do not require any machine sewing and are all $20!

To launch this new phase of Korora Studio, we will be having an open house in the near future. You will get to browse the studio and get a preview of the projects for May and June classes. The most exciting thing is you get $5 OFF your first class by signing up at the event! Yay for discounts! I will definitely be posting more info closer to the date. Until then, send me your crafting wishes! What do you guys want to make? What skills do you want to learn? Throw them at me and I'll do my best to make it happen.
