Erin Fetherston Short Movies

As much as I adore Erin Fetherston's fashion, I must admit sometimes I don't quite understand the short movies that accompany it. They do a great job of showcasing the beautiful clothes through a type of dark fairytale. The one I found most "interesting" was the Dollhouse video from 2007 that was created to launch Fetherston's Target collection. It is of course fairytale-like with a dash of creepy sadness...

Beautiful Clothing from Erin Fetherston

I first heard of Erin Fetherston when I was reading Lula Magazine. I absolutelty adore Erin Fetherston's label of feminine attire, including dreamy skirts and dresses with bow & ruffle accents. So many of her designs look like they come from a modern day fairytale. I have inserted some of my favorite looks from her collections below.

Spring 2010

No. 2 - Plunging Halter Dress in Khaki Twill
(This definitely has a resort look to it.)

Spring 2009

No. 32 - Sunset Ombre Cloud Mini-Dress

(I like how the fluffy bottom balances out the straight torso. The bow-cap sleeve is a great accent as well.)

Spring 2009
No. 29 - Gathered Lilac Organza Cloud Hem Dress

(I LOVE the arched pouffy hem! Gourgeous!)

Holiday 2008 - 2009
No. 4 - Black Double Face Satin Bow Jacket with Black Double Face Satin Bow Skirt
(I'm a sucker for cute, fitting jackets with volumious skirts.)

While I've Been Away- Paint Project #1

I truly didn't mean to be away from the blog for as long as I have! Happy New Year everyone! :o)

At least I haven't been a total slacker! Here is a project I finished early December. I wanted to paint this little table I bought from HomeGoods in November a shade of blue-green.

I already had some paint around the house that I could use that was a lighter shade of blue-green. This is the table after the first coat.

Second coat! Nice but a little too light for me... I had to try again.

So I tried a deeper and brighter color! I wanted something with more ummph! :o)

I only needed a sample of paint from Home Depot! Isn't that amazing! :o)

Tada! Mr. Table is all done! Looking snazzy in his corner... :o)
