"I had the craziest dream last night. I was dancing the white swan."

I've been looking forward to sharing this latest fashion shoot! These fantastic photos were taken by photographer Romain Rivierre. His lovely wife, artist Tanya Escaler doubled as model and Creative Director for the shoot.  Mica Tuano did the Black Swan-inspired make-up and doubled as a model (of course) My lovely sister, Gail Miller posed as Mila Kunis and feathered head candy, styling and modeling by Bonne as well :)

We had to do a lot of ballet moves, twirling and bending to get some of the shots right.  And Romain, I have to say, these are fabulous!

Thank you team fashown! These turned out lovely and well within our "Black Swan" vision:)

Hoppy Birthday Tala

My niece's (Tala) birthday fell on Easter Sunday. We had planned a beach trip so my sister and I decided to throw Tala an easter egg hunt party.  Of course my niece had to be a bunny.  I prepared 5 bunny ears, supposedly for the girls in the family.  Luckily 2 other families were staying at the same resort, so we invited their kids to the party as Tala's guest bunnies.  There were four kids and I made 4 bunny ears--it was perfect! :)

Sandra wears a Cloche

Sandra looking absolutely fabulous in a custom-made black cloche hat by me :) It also comes with a detachable feather brooch.

You can also get one for yourself here.

Une Femme Est Une Femme

 Just finished a hat inspired by Godard's Une Femme Est Une Femme (A woman is a woman) I am just in love with his muse, Anna Karina and the color palette of this film. 

this piece sold

I used my vintage singer to sew this piece--clean, fine stitches.

one mad Saturday...

My lovely friend Kitty brought over some brunch, 

which turned into an impromptu lunch at a cozy little bistro,

which then turned into mad hatter madness...

Headpieces are from my friend's prop collection

Here's the Bonne original:

The silver rose brooch was my grandmother's. 

It's going to be loooong week. But I'm looking forward to taking my niece to the zoo for her third birthday. I think, the last time I was in Manila Zoo, I was about 10 years old..  I hope it's in much better condition now than it was then.  But I'm betting the monkeys are still notorious poop-throwers. 

Cloche by the sea

Ahoy there!

Took my new cloche for a little boat ride during Holy Week.

According to wikipedia, "Cloche hats were usually made of felt so that they conformed to the head.^[1][1] By 1928-1929, it became fashionable to turn the brims on cloche hats upwards. This style remained prevalent throughout the early 1930s until the cloche hat became obsolete around 1933-1934."  The hat was typically designed to be worn low on the forehead, with the wearer's eyes only slightly below the brim.

I decided to experiment with lighter fabric so that the cloche could still be worn in tropical weather.  There's lining underneath the hat and for a bit of frivolous fun, I sometimes add feather clips or brooches.

The Bonne Cloche is available upon request.  Since I make the headpieces myself, please let me know if you would like to have one made at LEAST one week in advance.
