Lilia
from
flea market studio.

So gorgeous.
I love the wings, love the lace, love the polka dots.

Her work is so beautiful, shabby, vintagy layers of love. I've looked at her etsy shop and it's filled with such goodies- run and check it out!

I loved looking at her art journals that were made with her daughter in mind. They are filled with pages and memories of her little girl growing up surrounded by pink, blue, lace, and feathers. Lilia has preserved the memories in such a sweet way...get's me inspired to try and organize myself to do the same with my children.

Oh, here's her blog fleamarketstudio.typepad.com when you are done with looking at her etsy shop, check out the blog.

Pictures of family, beach, pumpkins...it's worth stopping by after a long day of working, grab a glass of wine, cup of tea, or a sparkling water and check out the works of Lilia.

i {heart} monica bellucci

This is an old photograph that I found on one of my favorite sites for inspiration...http://nickdrake.tumblr.com/page/30. It's Monica Bellucci and she is an Italian actress who has been in several movies. She's 45 years old and STUNNING! Her most memorable movie (i think) was she was Mary Magdalene in The Passion of the Christ (Heavy). I love this photograph and I wish I knew who took it or what year it was taken in.

i {heart} sweaters by Seema Sudan

Lia Molly is a sweater collection for kids that is Designed Exclusively for Anthropologie. They carry it for children until 18 months...WHAT????? Hand knitted with eye-popping threads, the droolicious details of fabulous appliqués, over sized buttons, and velvet ribbons add to the charm of each piece.

Interview found on http://www.sheckys.com/designerlounge/48/liamolly

Designer: Seema Sudan

www.liamolly.com

How did you become a designer?

I've been a knitter since I was nine. I followed this passion to Parsons School of Design in NYC. I've worked for many major companies as a knitwear designer and finally have launched a knitwear business of my own, liaMolly, which is named after my kids Liam and Molly. We’re based in the city that inspires me most, New Orleans.

What’s your inspiration?

Nature, art, fibers, yarns, patterns of all sorts for stitches. Coco Chanel, fashions past and present and New Orleans.

What’s your hometown?

New Orleans, LA but I am originally from Montreal.

If you had to pick a favorite design from your collection, what would it be?

The Thalia Dress because it is flattering on everyone, and you can wear it everywhere. I also like the Jacqueline Cardigan because it is so New Orleans.

What are you wearing right now?

I'm about to go to my studio on my Vespa, so aviator glasses, the Janette sweater from our winter collection, vintage jeans, and boots.

Miley Cyrus

We had so much fun tonight!

We got a suite at The Target Center with a group of mom's and daughters...one dad, for the Miley Cyrus concert. It was a fun night because the girls were so happy to be there, they had so much room to dance and walk around. Bathroom breaks were easy because they were inside the suite. I'm spoiled now...how could I ever see another show in regular seats???

The only thing that I wasn't so happy about it, was Miley's brother, who performed in the opening band. He had tattoos all over his body and declined wearing a shirt. He made mention that he was told to cover up but he wasn't interested in doing that even in a theatre filled with little girls who did not need to see that! When did I get so Conservative?

My little girl just got a bit older...the change is happening so fast!

Lola halloween picture

Lola's class drew pictures at school today about what they were going to be for Halloween this year. I love her princess dress...gotta have the purse. It looks like she's going trick or treating in a teepee.

Karate Boy

Josh is doing a great job in Karate...he is dedicated and seems to be interested. We are hoping that this becomes his sport and that he can go all the way. We thought it was a bummer that he has no interest in team sports but I guess that he's a team of his own.
