The Tia Slip

Tia in Silk Organza

I love this piece. It so light and airy and the perfect layering piece. It can go under shirts, over pants; over our Simplicity Slip or Selena or Angel. The silk organza is laundered and soft crunchy, perfect for an evening out for dinner; and the linen gauze is a gorgeous weight in that it is not too fragile, but with some body.. Also available in black. New colors coming for the Fall.

Resort/Holiday 2014

This is a special collection of one of a kind dresses and petti-slips for the holidays and resort evenings. Pieces are carefully made with hidden french seams and tiny stitches, light and airy raw edges and sweet drawstring gathers. Mixed with a little cotton voile and sateen, stuff wrinkled silk organza peeps through. This is my French inspired happy collection when clothes are just whispers in weight and subdued in dream colors. Think rose pink, lavender and vintage tea. Limited edition runs of these garments, stay tuned for look book pics and ordering info. Baisers et étreintes de moi, tg

The feet of angels bright;

And joy without ceasing,

On each bud and blossom,

And each sleeping bosom.

Fall 13

 

New York was such a lovely little respit for us this past weekend. I know, New York? Restful? Yes indeed. We had such a quiet and lovely time. Took it all in and took the time to rest between appointments. It was so good. Great food of course and long chats with bubbley water and strawberries to snack on with our lovely customers. They each visited and oohed and aahed at all the new looks and colors. So great!
Our showroom was a quiet little spot with a lovely velvet couch in light blue, with a large lamp hanging over the coffee table. Glass cloches sat on the table covered in pearls, and vintage chain, faceted stones and hand forged pendants. Spattered with long ribbons of raw linen in ivory and white and pinks. The ribbons spilled in pools throughout the room. Racks were full and separated by season and hues. Spring Summer colors in white, ivory, light baby pink, meadow blue, taupe, cobolt and chocolate. Fall looks in rich truffle browns, chocolate, smokey grey, midnight blue and a bit of bright autumn gold, plum and sea pink. Of course perfect white shirts with vintage buttons and patches of vintage fabric prints. More pics to come.
My new lovely Selena Strap dress is above, shown in truffle, sea pink and chocolate. Doesn't it look like an ice-cream flavor of sorts - Neopolitan?

We returned to a bustling studio, new fabrics came in today and loads of boxes are shipping out. My team is amazing, and Kevin and I are back in the swing of things.

I send kisses and hugs your way. t

Prairie Linen in Chocolate / Plum

Frilly Jane Tunic

As the sun comes across my desk this morning I contemplate wearing my Prairie Linen dress in chocolate and plum to my next event in Atlanta. I am so excited to see old friends. My Cid Pear product line with CR Gibson is so gorgeous this year, and the presentation is amazing. Can't wait to share. In the meantime, I get to select my wardrobe for the next few days relaxing and playing with old and new friends.
Have a gorgeous day!
