Pub­lished 07/06/2014 Can you remem­ber a child­hood fash­ion mis­take? Not that it was a real mis­take, because you did mean to wear it. But rather some­thing so bad­ly put togeth­er you wish your moth­er would have stopped you before you got out the door.  I can cer­tain­ly remem­ber mine — and my sis­ter Tess’. My sis­ter real­ly liked to wear vests. There was a peri­od of time when she would always...

Gifts: Floral Silk Scarf and Block M Genuine Leather Purses

One of my favorite scarves is acrylic. How­ev­er if I wear it for too long, it makes me sweat and agi­tates my skin. So when I was out shop­ping for gifts (in par­tic­u­lar scarfs), I searched for ones made of nat­ur­al fab­rics, but they were dif­fi­cult to find.

I quick­ly fin­ished my “Maid of Hon­or” dress before the wed­ding. I did­n’t have the time or ener­gy to think hard about what kind of top I should design. Instead, I free hand­ed a sim­ple bodice pat­tern for the top por­tion of the dress. I plan to use the embroi­dery piece for a more tra­di­tion­al Ukrain­ian blouse, so I was­n’t too con­cerned about fit or quality. The skirt hem­line was...
