matthew and i headed to charleston really quickly today after our weekend in georgetown for a yummy brownie sundae from kaminsky's and of course a stroll down the lovely fashion district street of chaleston, sc - king st.! 

i have a few stores that i just have to "hit up" everytime i go down king st.!  one of my faves, warren on king, i wasn't able to stop into today, but i bought soooo much in there when i was down there for fashion week in march that it was probably ok that i didn't stop by there today.  :)

i had to check the new locale of cynthia rowley.  they moved to south king st. they have a super cute store, not that the original store on mid-upper kings st. wasn't cute, but this new store is super cute!  i met a new sales girl, grace, who was so sweet!  i scored some amazing sequin shorts for my upcoming trip to NYC! 

we mozied on down king st. going into palm avenue, the infamous lilly pulitzer store.  we had to go into matthew's fave store, m.dumas & sons!

then we walked on down to our last stop for this trip, willy jays, where they are packed with local designers like the lovely judith march!  i was able to get a great basic white t and a lovely wire wrapped rose quartz ring that i've been wanting for a while now!  the basic white t is meant to go with a lovely chartreuse skirt that i bought from the old cynthia rowley back in february! 

so, that sums up our whirlwind charleston/king st in a day!  we were also able to get some wedding planning done too!  i am all about utilizing the time we have!  we got tons done today!  yay for the awesome new clothes and soooo excited for the treasures and secrets we got for our wedding!!  i can't reveal those until march 2013 or i guess some can be leaked when our save the dates go out! :) 

until next time, happy sewing, and of course shopping!

summer break!!

Summer break is finally here!!  Life has been pretty busy around here with all last week being Columbia Style week and now I am in education courses for two weeks :(, but I'll still have some time for sewing and of course designing and styling! :) 

Columbia Style Week - Saturday Runway Show

MayaQ Finale Walk

At Columbia Style Week, during all the walking in the runway shows, I was able to network with some amazing models and designers.  Lauren Firr, an up and coming model from Charlotte, was able to model some Slice clothes at a photoshoot on Sunday and another one tomorrow!! Yay!!

Lauren Firr - 6/11/2011 photoshoot

Slice dress - inspired by Lanvin 2011

Being submerged in fashion all last week, got me wanting TONS of new clothes and shoes!!  Not great for the wallet, but great for my style!! 

From the Mary Michaels collection, I must make this outfit!!

Columbia Style Week - Wednesday's Mary Michaels Runway Show

Lauren Firr

Sooooo amazing!!  I already ordered shoes that color, now I just need to find some khaki and orange charmeuse silk!! 

Lace shorts, and lace in general, and crochet tops are super huge right now!!  I just had to re-create this look.....

Columbia Style Week - Friday's Torn Curtain Boutique Runway Show

Kelly McCord

Check out Torn Curtain's amazing vintage boutique!!!

I ordered an amazing floral vintage skirt pretty similar to this skirt off of an amazing Etsy shop, Cape Cod Laurie Designs.  I found a crochet dress that will double as a dress and a top with my floral skirt.  I bought some super cute cream lace shorts off of e-bay and an amazing orange micro-pleated skirt!

I can't wait until all my goodies arrive and I can go to some more amazing events in the latest summer 2012 styles!



Until next time....happy sewing,

Monogram Madness!!

I don't know if I've expressed my LOVE for monograms?!  Well, I more than love monograms, I am obsessed!!  Also, being obsessed with Pinterest doesn't help with my monogram madness!  Everytime I get onto Pinterest there is another cute way to incorporate a monogram! 

Today, I monogrammed one pair of my running shorts and I monogrammed a bandeau bathing suit top!  Pics to come soon!  (let's hope for tomorrow!)

These are pics of what I accomplished today:



The shorts and the bathing suit came out great!  I will be monogramming more, but I also have an Ecology Test to type up for the 7th graders tomorrow!!  Will someone please give me a job where I can sew and monogram ALL day long?!?!  PLEASE!!!  I'll even bake you monogrammed cupcakes!! :)

Chevron Madness!

need i say more?!  loves it!!

I seriously have some "Spring Fever"!! I cannot wait until school is out for summer! I have 9 more days and it seriously can't go by fast enough! Other than having to take classes this summer for education, I will be hopefully getting my bags on my Etsy shop, http://www.etsy.com/shop/SliceCoutureClothing and maybe in some local stores! :) Let me know what you think of my bags!! You get to pick the colors and you can have your bag monogrammed!!

inspiration!!

Last night I met the most amazing girl, Mary Kent Hearon! She makes amazing jewelry and you can "like" her on Facebook at "The Heart Bead"! She also has an Etsy shop "The Heart Bead", http://www.etsy.com/shop/TheHeartBeet?ref=seller_info.



This is a picture of us from last night at on of our mutual friends, Laine's Stock the Bar party!  Without Laine we would have never met!!  Thanks Laine!  We love you!

I also wanted to say that the chevron t-shirt dress that  I'm wearing will be going to my Etsy shop this week!!  I can order the same chevron fabric for you to have  a dress just like it, or we can make that style in any fabric that you like!! :) http://www.etsy.com/shop/SliceCoutureClothing

Hope you are all having a great Sunday and until next time, happy sewing!
