Vintage Summer

My inspirations are coming from a wide variety of vintage patterns and styles. It started recently when my husband, (who is a HUGE James Bond fanatic), was watching "The Spy Who Loved Me".  The character Naomi played by Caroline Munro, was wearing a fabulous cover-up with tassels. It was stunning! I had to PVR the scene, just so I can admire it over and over.

As I peruse the internet, so many images are popping out. I love them all.
My creative juices are flowing with a million ideas as Google helps me rewind the fashion clock and go back in time. The ideas are bursting at the seams.  What will become of my next collection?

Is it a subtle hint that to add bathing suits to our collection? It was inevitable, bound to happen.

As well, our line for women is another new addition. For all the moms who have been asking, you and your daughters can have a matching cover-ups.

So, stayed tuned to get some sneak peeks here and there.
