Gearing up for the next couple of shows...

With Thanksgiving around the corner and birthday and Halloween celebrations a not too distant memory, crafting headpieces is taking up most of my "free" time. I love the deadline feeling (can you tell I'm a Procrastinator? - note the capital P) and the holiday feeling coming into the Fall. Saturday, November 20 will be my 1st trunk show at Magpie in Davis Square. I'll be there from 11am-6pm selling some cool new pieces for the holidays, noir cocktail hats from my Fall/Winter collection, and also some discounted past season items! Pictures to come (if there's time in between all that sewing).

I'll be traveling like mad this Thanksgiving - car, train, bus, to a car and another car, but I get to see my family again before Christmas. I miss them all and especially can't wait to see my adorable niece and nephew. Hopefully I'll get to post a holiday pic or two this year!

Right after that is the fabulous Bazaar Bizarre Boston (see they're great new page). I'll be there with lots of other talented and amazing vendors, so get your dollar ready and brave the line (it goes fast, I swear) for some of the best holiday shopping in the country. I think I'll start playing my Christmas music now... too early?

Emily Muller- fabulous fashion week event

Boston Fashion week is really something this year! Emily Muller's Fall 2010 Presentation at Looc in the South End was a classy and energetic show and Emmy really outdid herself (I'll have some pics tomorrow hopefully, but right now it's past my bedtime). I enjoyed being a part of the show and it inspired me to get my Fall/Winter line posted on etsy. Now that it's done, I'll have plenty of pics and new fascinators to show. More to come tomorrow!

cheers, Alana

thanks ladies!

Seana and Nicole - thanks for your help with this impromptu shoot in the Public Garden today.

The weather was gorgeous - a perfect summer day in Boston and the Garden is always beautiful (especially after walking through the Common - sorry Common). Although it was fast, I had a lot of fun - in the middle of everything I was distracted by a beautiful Mexican bride who had made her own gorgeous wedding dress - I wish I got a picture of the back!

Here's one pic (I'm really not glowing bronze in real life) of all 3 of us - thanks to the friendly Frenchman who took it:
