WHERE WHIMSY MEETS HIGH FASHION
So first off, I am sorry for being absent from my blog for the past few weeks. It has been a whirlwind, to say the least. A few weeks ago, a very close friend of mine commissioned me to make a yukata (a spring kimono usually made with a cotton material). I was honored, and [...]

Around the time I started diving more into Instagram, I discovered Beauty Truth Sleuth, an Instagram account dedicated to unveiling the truth in the [...]
Cue the sweatpants and oversized grey hoodie. I can already hear Rich Lux and Nick Snider cringing from their respective corners of the internet. But as Nick Snider will be the first to point out, if you are in fact in a dark place, there is nothing wrong with talking about it, especially with all [...]
As many of you know, this February was my first Fashion Week presenting as a designer proper. Gone are the days, at least for now, of serving as a design assistant under the umbrella of someone else’s vision.
