Sunshine Daydream

The weather in Missouri lately has been fantastic!

So, in the spirit of Spring, I am posting a few things that have made me smile lately.

I have never heard of Amos Lee before, but this song was just the right type of mellow vs. wit that I needed this morning.

Keep It Loose, Keep It Tight -...

There is a small local airport by my house and yesterday as I was driving home I couldn't help but pull over and take a picture of this beautiful sight.

Since I am wearing my flippy floppies today I just had to get a pedicure!

(Notice the signature red polish OPI Friar, Friar, Pants on Fire!)

This magnificent T-Shirt is courtesy of Max Wanger. I found his fabulous photographs, shirts, and postcards to be whimsical and simply amazing!

I wore this shirt yesterday and forgot to take a picture, but wanted to showcase the fact that such care and appreciation was put into the packaging of this simple little tee.

(as seen here)

In an effort to get everyone a little more involved on Red Lipstick I ask this: 

What is making you smile today?? 

Design State of Mind

Today I am hard at work trying to finish the designs for the Sydney's Closet 2011 Signature Collection. 

I have decided that in order to get this accomplished without any interruption, I have stopped answering the phone, closed the door to my office and am jamming out currently to The Kooks.

To get my body in the right state of being I rely on Celestial Seasonings Herbal Tea. 

Today it is Black Cherry Berry, it tastes oddly like cherry kool-aid, just simply more amazing.

Note: The cutest coffee cup sweater I have ever seen. 

(A great gift for my co-workers, and of course I got one for myself!!!)

Here is a Sneak Peek at one of the sassy cocktail dresses I am working on currently!

Your feed back is much appreciated!!

 Design is a constant challenge to balance comfort with luxe, the practical withe the desirable.
