New Year's Dress

If last year's New Year's dress was Old Hollywood glam this year's is going to be short and gathered and black and sparkly. Stay tuned!

Prom 2013

With my beautiful friends Megan and Katrina!

As promised (though they be a wee bit late), here are the photos of the finished prom dress I was working on this summer!

Steampunk and Lace: Masquerade 2012

This costume retrospective takes us back to the companion piece to Peter's Masquerade jacket. Portland's annual Masquerade Ball (thrown by Peter's band, Just People) is just about as much fun as a group of pals can have. Photo booths? Stilt walkers? Hula hoopers? Fantastic live music? Everybody dressed up to the nines with masks, facepaint and body art? Check, check and check.

New Year's Eve 2012

This New Year's Eve it was all about the old Hollywood glam.

I should begin by saying that last year's New Year's Eve was not all about the glam. Last year's New Year's involved going out in a fur coat and velvet dress, getting stranded at a NYE party and waiting half an hour with my sister for a taxi to take us to the one place we wanted to be: Peter's. Then we played teamball and drank beer and listened to Horses and didn't smooch and then went to Megan's, where we had pizza. Fun? Undoubtedly. Classy? Not particularly.

Prepping for Prom

January is admittedly sort of a ridiculous time of year to already be thinking about prom. Ridiculous, dear reader, is just the way I roll.

You see, after a wonderful winter break back in Portland with all my friends (and following a furiously crafty couple of months getting presents ready for people), things felt a bit empty back here in Austin without something to work on. I'd been toying around with ideas for the next big event I'd be going to back in Portland, which is Just People's (my boyfriend Peter's band's) prom. It's prom. But for grown ups. Sponsored by a whiskey company. Wahoo! Everyone makes super good decisions at this prom, let me tell you.
