Cher may be more known today for her deep singing voice, odd-looking hairdos and her role as Christina Aguillera's mentor in Burlesque, but circa sixties she was a popular singer and style icon known for her deep set doe eyes, her long black, silky hair, to-die-for slender waist and tall figure and her undoubtebdly good Native American looks.  Although coming from a multi-cultural background, Cher embraced particularly her Cherokee roots and expressed her pride for her ancestry through the clothes and the jewelry she wore. Some of her known looks would include bell bottoms, intricate beaded jewelry, fringes, thick eyeliner and the midriff shirts she was especially known for. The sixties was known for being a trend-crazyy decade, and Cher was one of the trendsetters whom women and girls all over the world turned to for fashion inspiration. Her style was effortless yet unique and timeless that even after several decades, her influence and legacy as a fashion icon is still evident among the designers and celebrities of today.









Leaving you with two of Cher's most popular hits.

Style Muse: Vanessa Paradis

I have been a fan of Vanessa Paradis since early 2000 when I came across her "Mosquito" music video. The song and video was in French so besides "Mosquito", I hardly understood a word, but I thought the girl singing was adorable. She had the nineties model face and the gapped front teeth which was suddenly becoming a trend in the modeling industry. 

Vanessa Paradis, although more popular as Johnny Depp's ex partner and mother to his children, is actually a household name in her native country of France. Besides being a model since her early teens (she's worked with the likes of Chanel and Miu Miu, among others), the talented Paradis is also an award winning actress and accomplished singer in France. 

Paradis describes herself as "privileged bohemian" and is a self-professed sentimentalist when it comes to clothes. She includes Parisian label Antik Batik as her favorite hippie go-to brand. 

Do you have your won bohemian muse? Leave a comment and we'll check her out.

Long day today...



I found these wilting flowers tucked among some fresh leaves today. I can't help but think how beautiful they still were and that I had to, at least, be able to capture this moment of passing beauty.  Staring at these photos, I've already had several design ideas come up. I think I'll be printing these photos out to make sure I get reminded of those ideas (and that I should work on them soon).

Busy day today. Studio clean up is almost done. Next is a long list of diy and style posts, and then the designs for the next pieces. Facing a long day today.

Oh, happy 4th of July to friends and folks in the US!
