I'll admit, I didn't know very much about Red Valentino until this am. But I just love the playful cocktail dresses. Here is just about everything you need to know:

Speaking of lbd's do you have a favorite? I love this one (Red Valentino) because it's playful with a simple silhouette (plus who doesn't love a swiss dot, right?).

Jane By Design
Posted on 05:14 by Unknown
Recently, the ABC Family team invited me to be a part of the Jane By Design Style challenge, to celebrate their new show which aired last night. Just after I was invited to participate, I went to Florida for some time. So, here are the rest of the challenges! Hope you enjoy them. (If you do, please let abc family know via twitter #jbdstylechallenge.
In round 4, I was given a holiday sweater and asked to make it into something a bit more pleasing to the eye. I decided to cozy everything in my house.
In Round 5, I was asked to take a white button down from work to play. I chose to layer it for work and let it stand out during a night out (very chic). I love a white button down as a layering essential.
In round 6 , I chose to show off some some simple home-styling ideas. I was instructed to get inspired by a bag of pretzels. (I know right?) But, I immediately I thought of a set of vintage cake trays I have that seem as if they are lined in pretzel shapes. Thought it would be nice to how you have to grab some around the house items for a simple kitchen display.
Round 7: a moodboard inspired by Jane herself. Enjoy!
(abc family will be featuring one reader of the winning blog on their website,
so if you enjoy my entries please tweet them #jbdstylechallenge!!)
Stay tuned- giveaway later today!!!

Walt Disney World
Posted on 04:34 by Unknown
Happy New Year! I been in Walt Disney World since Christmas and just returned home last night.
I spend alot of time there as some of you know, but what many of you don't know is that the reason I am so attached to the place is because I grew up there.
When I was young I wrote a letter to the head animator and asked for a job. To make a long story short, after visiting yearly as a child, I worked there in college and lived there for years. I worked in the animation building just before beginning my business in art/fashion. Many clients tell me my fashion illustrations have a sort of whimsy to them- I credit this to what I learned from Disney.
