Hands Can Make Masterpieces

Fashion is to art as art is to literature as literature is to music. Fashion is an art in itself. Fashion, like literature, art, and music starts with the talent of one's hands, whether it be writing or creating, it's a passion. It's true to say, that hands can make any kind of masterpiece.


Pictures around the apartment and in my room...including the first shirt i made, a painting passed down by my Mom, some of my favorite books, and some records I share with Breann.

"Let them eat cake"

I have read about Paris in my endless assortment of Vogue magazines, I have seen art that was created in Paris, and I have seen “The Last Time I Saw Paris” many times, but to be able to actually say I have been to Paris, the real Paris, will be a dream come true. I can't believe in 24 days I will be living in the city where fashion was born. First Parisienne inspiration... Marie Antoinette.

I got inspired to do a Marie Antoinette blog from these earrings below I bought at a thrift shop. I still can't believe I only paid two dollars for them.
