JUMP(suit)ING into spring

I don't know where to start!

I get absolutely delirious looking at all these hot silk and satiny jumpsuits!








I'd say I'd wear about 80% of these babies from the SS09 collections.

I was inspired by the Martin Grant beauty below this past weekend. So I did the middle part, put on the Zara halter jumpsuit I bought a few months ago, and took it out on the town.

I look nervous...but I think it was just an awkward moment of trying to show the outfit while explaining my camera's workings to my drunk friend. Ah well. :)

I also want to point out my lovely friend's acquisition of the weekend - those blue gladiator heels that go so well with the satin number she's wearing.

She also got them in grey from Winners (ladies, that's TJ Maxx for you in the U.S.). She paid a nice $30 for each....while I bought the black patent leather Dolce Vita version of those for $120 (they were 50% off at U&I).

I might go grab the cheapy grey version!

Before I run off, I want to let the world know what's on my birthday wishlist! This Ferragamo baby (or a replica that's almost as pretty)!

Ah, I would just explode with joy!

Adios for now!

Told You Sew

Here is a photo of a self-made top: grey silk and exposed zipper. It was made around November 2008 - my return to sewing after about 6 or 7 years!

The skirt is pulling the top so it makes the center seem well, off-center. Also, the photo wasn't taken for the blog but at a party instead, hence the beverage.

Going forward, you will see more blog-dedicated photos.
