To Be Young – Fashion Video

A few weeks ago I did a photo shoot with a bunch of items that will be added to the shop in August. I also shot this fun little video to give you a preview of some new items. Enjoy!

An American Girl – Fashion Video

So as you all know, Mer is soaking up the sun in Saint-Tropez. I wanted to share a video with you guys that I shot of her while we were in Palm Springs! Most of these items in the video will be for sale in August! More videos coming soon.

Saint-Tropez!

I will be in Saint-Tropez for the next 3 weeks!!! Follow me on twitter to get updates!! See you when I get back!!

So Busty!

I encourage all of you to go buy the June/July ’10 issue of BUST Magazine (my girl Zooey is on the cover) and flip to page 15.  Or just look at these pictures :)

We sold one of our favorite dresses to a sweet little darling named Sabrina, and I am just so in love with her look and style!  Here she is rocking our black sequin wiggle dress!  Thanks so much Sabrina, we love you!

Yes, my darlings! It is true…we have a bunch of new delicious items in the shop! Get your shop on before it’s all gone!

Sunshine warms my face and my heart

Spring has arrived!  It is here and it has smacked me right across the face with the fiercest love slap imaginable!  The sunshine, the leaves on the trees, the chirping birds, the peonies! Oh god, the peonies!  What a happy happy girl am I!

It’s been a while (story of my life) so I thought I would give an update.  This might seem a bit boring to some of you, but for people like my mom who check this thing daily to see what I’ve been up to, well this is for you :)

Two months ago I quit my job as a nanny for one family and became a nanny for another MUCH BETTER family.  Goodbye five-year old jerk who slapped me across my face on my last day…goodbye three-year old mental exhaustion who wants to play dolls all day and tell me what my doll has to say.  Hello nine-year old genius who wants to speed home from school so that she can read…hello seven-year old love bug who has the cutest laugh on the planet…hello four-year old comedienne who makes up her own hilarious stories with soundtracks to go with them.  These girls are brilliant, they are incredibly funny, they love the Beatles!  It’s a match made in heaven!

A couple weeks ago I went home to California and spent a beautiful week at home with my family.  My cousins came over and we shared beautiful conversation over delicious food…being at home is truly the best all-inclusive resort!  Thrift-store shopping (goodies in the shop SOON, I promise!), sitting on the patio around the fire, Korean spa day, delicious strawberry-rhubarb pie, questionable vegan lemon squares…heaven.

This past weekend Timmy and I went to Brooklyn for the cherry blossom festival at the Brooklyn Botanic Gardens.  Unfortunately, the flowers had already bloomed and fallen to the ground, but it was such a gorgeous day and we stayed as long as we could before the allergies started kicking in.  After the gardens we walked around the adorable neighborhood of Park Slope and bought lemonade for 50 cents from a sweet lemonade stand and shopped around in a really cool antique shop and stopped by a handmade craft fair.  All in all, a beautiful spring day!

Another really exciting thing for us is that our photography business Sweet Little Photographs is really taking off!  We got a mention on Daily Candy as well as on Green Wedding Shoes and ever since then we’ve been having trouble keeping track of our inbox!  We have a few weddings booked, many many more in the process of being booked, and lots of great conversations with wonderful clients happening.  I’ve been working on my photography skills and with a teacher like Tim pretty soon I’ll be AMAZING ;)  I am so happy with the way our life is taking shape, this is an incredible journey that I am so excited to start!

Here’s a piece of news for everyone: Tim and I will be in California for all of June and July…except for the two weeks in July that I will be in St. Tropez with the family that I work for (I TOLD you they were amazing!!!), so for all of you that wanted to come visit us in New York, you’ll have to wait until after August to do so!

The end!

Darling Camilla

Look at this sweet little darling!  How wonderful does she look in the sparkly green sweater and the pink ruffly lace skirt!?  I absolutely love her style and I’m so glad to add her to the list of Sugar Darlings!  Thanks so much, Camilla!
