I have just introduced hoodies into my line and have put one in the new fall winter collection called {koi} and I must say it is a head turner! I used an american apparel hoodie and accented it with some beautiful lace and a bold aqua rose {for that vintage touch} and I lined the hood in a retro designer fabric. I have lots more coming soon ..you can get this for children and adults here.
Minuit bloom fall/winter collection has arrived and is online to purchase today! This a fabulous piece out of the collection, I just love the romantic colors that make up the flowers in this one and the big shabby aqua rose breaks up the color a bit. You can purchase this dress by clicking here.
Minuit bloom {fall/winter collection} coming September 1st 2010. I named this collecton Minuit bloom ={ Midnight bloom in french} because I used french inspired graphics for my tshirts and started adding romantic laces and trims to them along with bold floral fabrics with colors that are perfect for the fall. All of the pieces in the collecton can pretty much be mixed and matched with each piece. This is a small collection but I think you may enjoy it. I am also so excited to have Amy Childers shooting the collection!
It is a sad month around here after the loss of our two cats Roo {15 year old cat} and Tye our 6 year old bengal cat. We moved back to vegas the beginning of July to a different area that we where not to familiar with and sadly there are coyotes here but the city does not bother to post any signs around letting people know or new residents to the area.
My cat tye went missing after 2 weeks of being here and I was hoping he was just lost or turned around and me and the kids put up signs all over the area and offered a reward on craigslist and have been to the humane society on many occasions looking for him.
Well a few weeks later roo went out for his nightly sitting on the porch routine after the day cooled down that is what he loved to do and sadly I was exhausted and went to bed and did not realize he didnt come back in. This normally would not be big deal unless I knew the surroundings where so dangerous. When I realized the next morning he was gone I knew it was not good....This cat lived and breathed with me he was my baby he would be with me all day long and wake me up with a headbut and big purr for the last 15 years.
I was informed by many people on craigslist and the neighborhood that they see the coyotes come out at dusk and wander the park where my kids play WHAT are you kidding and no signs posted anywhere to warn parents of coyotes...this is crazy the city of henderson!!! Well this is a rambling post so I will stop now just wanted to post pics and say goodbye to my beautiful pets that will be dearly missed and I will never forget the way that they had to leave the earth :(
As some of you may know I moved back to las vegas this month and let me tell you it wasnt easy this time lol. We drove over 18 hours with 5 kids and a couple pets. The drive was beautiful we took the route where we went through donners pass which I must say in a moving truck it was quiet bumpy and kind of scary! When we arrived it was probably about 102 degrees outside which was perfect as it is a dry heat and feels more like high 80s.
I just wanted to share pics of my kids playing in the pool last weekend as I did get to spend the day off work and enjoy the pool with them. I cant believe how fast they grow My oldest son is going to be driving very soon Eeek that is going to be fun right {lol}. Anyways I love my new house and im just getting settled...new furniture arrived yesterday {lots of my antique furniture did not survive the move this time}. Hope you all are having a great summer with your family.

I didnt think it would bother me but being raised in a Southern California beach community and then later moving to sunny Las Vegas it has...I so crave the sun and so does my family so we are hitting the road in the wee hours of Tuesday morning to go back to good ol Las vegas and I have a house with a nice pool waiting for me ;) I Loved loved loved opening up Vintage lucys boutique on alberta street and had such fun I mean I didnt even get the ball rolling on it before I decided I was going to high tail it back to vegas...Which is totally ok with me as I can make that happen where ever I go and I have something much better in mind but its a secret! So with that said wish me luck on an 18 hour drive with 5 kids and yes a few furry friends are coming along too lol.
