Happy Easter! Pastels!

 Happy Easter!! I hope everyone had a great Easter weekend and got to spend time with family and maybe even hunt for eggs!  We had our usual two dinners today....so, very stuffed!  I tried my best to pace myself but it's difficult when there are such delicious things to eat!  Easter is a reminder of Spring and today felt like Spring! It was so nice out; Almost 15 degrees Celsius.   People often associate Easter with pastels...another big Spring trend.  One thing that drives me crazy is when people say "oh no that looks likes Easter"...hmmm maybe Easter looks like Spring!!  Would Easter be the same if it were dark colours?? No!  So yes, Easter time has pastels...because it's Spring time!!  It's a time for lighter and softer hues...a time to get away from the darker colours of winter...to warm up if you will.  Then, once Summer comes, they get a little brighter.  So, here are a few pictures celebrating pastels for Spring!!   Have a great week everyone:)

p.s 

Great story: I've been working very hard on my designs...hence the lack of posts.  Anyways, last weekend in a fit of motivation I decided to go out, get a few things and work allllll afternoon!! Great idea until I locked myself out of the house!!!  I've never done that before. My husband was gone for the day, with the other key, so,  I had to call my dad to come get me.  I felt like an idiot...sitting there on my step, the keys I could see through the window, right by the door.  Fail. But ,it was nice to hang out with my parents and think about my designs and what to do next:)

Yay Friday!

Yay Friday!!!  The weekend is finally here.  What am I doing this weekend???? Well, let me tell you, working on my designs of course.  The shows are just over a month away and I gotta get crackin'!  I've got three dresses nearly complete and then one more to make....and then my Red Dress which is all fitted and ready to be created!  I can't wait to cut into that beautiful fabric.  I always get excited for this time of year (and a little stressed but it's all worth it because I love it!!!!  I mean, I must...I'm not even getting paid to do this).  So, here are a few sneak peaks of what I'm making.  Enjoy :)

Have a great weekend and be sure to do something you love!!

You know I love me some polka dots!

This is a lining for one of my designs...wait and see which one!

Black and White....designed this one before the big black and white trend hit the runways!

Love this fabric.  It's like a vintage mint if that makes any sense. 

International Women's Day

Happy International Women's Day!  I didn't even know this day existed until a few years ago.   One of my co-workers is from Hungary and today is her birthday.  She explained to me that she was born on "Woman's Day" and how it was celebrated in Hungary.  I guess it's celebrated differently around the world.  Some places treat it as a mothers day type of day (like here) or celebrate with deeper meaning like in Hungary.  I was just asking my Husband where all my spoiling was!  I was only kidding...although I wouldn't complain ;)  Here is a link to Wikipedia with a little more info on the day.     Anyways, there are so many fabulous and wonderful women that got us to where we are today and I want to say thank you!  Here is a link I found with 100 inspirational women---> here.

 Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!

ps I've decided there's not really a point to having "Fashion Friday" when I'm most often talking about fashion in some way!   So, every day is a Fashion day :)
