Manhattan-based independent designers, Sara Jordan and Aimee Wolk, are putting a whole new spin on recycling.
Their vintage-inspired line, Sara Claire & Esther, features embellishments, buttons, trims, and fabrics that are re-purposed from thrifted or vintage garments. The feminine looks are reminiscent of childhood tea parties or fashion expeditions through mother's or grandmother's closet.
And what's more? Their Fall 2009 collection is making me swoon! In shades and tailoring that can only be described as elegant, classic, and whimsical rolled into one. Check it out for yourself:

The fashion rumor mill is already turning since WWD posted an unrelated article that hinted at supermodel Amber Valletta's plan to explore the world of fashion design.

Word on the street is that Ms. Valletta plans to "collaborate" on an elusive line. That's right, folks. No more info than that until summer.
Something tells me that the former MTV
House of Style might just know a thing or two about how to truly design beautiful fashion.

Just thought I'd raise excitement for the long-awaited film starring Valentino and business partner, Giancarlo Giammetti, and spans the final two years of their careers. It's now playing in select theaters nationwide.
Molto bene!

With my upcoming move, I'm getting to thinking about decor, particularly in the room. I have always had two distinct views in mind for the kind of design I would like in my bedroom: Victorian or Modernist.
Here are two takes on my would-be bedroom:
A Victorian Boudoir:
