A classic suit made from a graphic black and white raw silk brocade.  The fitted jacket has a rounded collar, and a peplum with a black tulle ruffle detail at the hem.  The pencil skirt is decorated with a small black silk bow at the back.  A three strand necklace in silver chain and Swarovski crystal links in shades of pink adds sparkle, and a white rose fascinator with milliner’s netting is the perfect finishing touch.

On gloomy winter days, I love to use unusual color combinations.   Indian silks come in such exotic combinations of shades, resulting in shimmering iridescence when the fabrics catch the light.  These two sheaths are made from especially beautiful silks.

The Lemongrass sheath is made from a silk woven from yellow and turquoise blue, resulting in a lovely shade of green with blue iridescence.  I covered this silk in turquoise and silver lace, to bring out the blue highlights.  A silk bow decorates the hip.

The Sunset sheath is made from tangerine silk woven with hot pink, resulting in a rich, exotic orange highlighted with pink.  The lace overlay is bright pink and silver.  A sunset orange bow decorates the hip.

These fashions fit Silkstone Barbie, Victoire Roux, and FR2 dolls.

Those who know me well know that I am obsessed with French Macarons, those colorful, delicate cookies that are quintessentially French.  They come in every color of the rainbow and taste like heaven.

This fabric, imported from Japan (the Japanese also adore Macarons) is scattered with colorful macarons.  The coat is fully lined with raspberry silk and has violet pearls as buttons.  An Eiffel Tower pin decorates the collar.  The accompanying sheath dress is made from cream embroidered silk, with a lavish bow and sash detail in rich violet silk.

Although snow lies thick on the ground, spring bulbs are stirring and getting ready to wake up.  This sheath dress, made from beautiful silk brocade, anticipates the beauty of spring.  The deep neckline is accented with a lush ruffle of lilac tulle and is further defined by a band and bow in orchid silk.
