Have you seen the work of Jim Olarte???? his recent art is one of knots and ties…he creates chimes of music from shells he has combed from the beach as well as other items we would all disregard…he is one of the most passionately creative people I have met, his styling and fashion has inspired many designers including myself and his viewpoint coveted by more, he is more than the OC man of style, I would go so far as to say he is one of few originals left in our community. This is an homage to him, a love letter to not only him, but to you , you must discover the genius of JMO…you can find him @ macallastair @ 1850 in Laguna Beach

oh brother, wish I could figure out how to turn this around its so fun

Ok not sure what this is about .... but will go for it and see if you like it - I have a website, facebook, myspace, twitter and youtube acct dont you think thats enough info for the world???? maybe a day in the life of a manic clothing designer/boutique owner/ kabbalist/and slightly rounded woman from the holidays? today it was Miguel my mexican sewer who I could not live without texting me he was going to be late because the bus broke down - he takes 2 buses from I don't even know where and it takes him 2 and 1/2 hours to get to my studio - he taught me how to say "next" today cienta - and usually nods his head ok but may be doing the job a completely different way than I explained him too! ok this is taking a lot of room and I'm sure is boring as well. - on to designing my booth space with Jim Olarte for the NYC Coterie we are doing in Feb - it will be like my Xmas window we think..booking tickets, getting an order out that I got when I was in Paris to a Tampa boutique called Deborah Kent, Kabbalah class at 7 degrees, a run on the beach, yoga this evening and then this - throw in a couple new designs, a few phone calls bout fall 2010 and I'm ready to crash...
