there’s always so many things i want this time of year, i don’t know what it is about spring that makes me want to “shop” so much. perhaps it’s just that this time of year my clothes aren’t burried under a coat and a million layers so it’s nice to see what’s out there.

Last week Candelaria hosted a benefit party and raffle for Japan. The evening was filled with cherry blossom decorations, cakes and beautiful floral outfits thanks to the House that Jack Built, a duo of artist/designers/and more! I love that the theme of the evening was a “peculiar floral dreamscape.” Everyone dressed up with flowers in their hair, floral bow ties, and even some Liberty print floral ties. They managed to raise a lot of money for the Red Cross in Japan, and made a beautiful evening of it as well, with prizes from Comme des Garcons, Rose Bakery, L’Eclaireur, Thomsen, and many more! I can’t wait to see the House that Jack Built’s next event.

Coming and going but it’s here. Moody as ever.

Just cause the weather is so nice… I had such a great weekend, no work, a bbq, a nice picnic with friends and a pool party concert. pas mal!

I am very excited about this even though I can’t go to it. Society for Rational Dress is having a benefit sale this week Friday/Saturday to raise money for aid in Japan through the Rainbow Project. Cupcakes, champagne, an acoustic performance by ASKA, and beautiful clothes all for a great cause.

Finally after so many months in the making, I can share with you one of the big projects I’ve been working on with Parisian brand Thomsen. I created a special collection for the brand featuring a hand painted print on shirts and dresses. Check out photos by Clarisse here on the Thomsen blog.
