Ms. Ocean

A colleague and friend, Ocean, who comes to Mary Mitchell with a beautiful spirit and warm heart. I love her outfits and was glad she let me take some photos of her! A mix of modesty and vintage.

Heidi Merrick

Posted on by

I found out about designer Heidi Merrick from Refinery 29.com.

She doesn’t seem to have an outlet in New York so what I learned about her and her clothes is from her website.

The two skirts pictured here are two of my favorite designs I saw on the website.

The denim high-waisted skirt goes for 231.00. It’s very different and original. It looks a little asymmetric. The asymmetric look may be created from the way the model is standing; however, if you look closely at the skirt, the lines are all not the same shape. It’s a great design.

The black lace-layered  skirt is more common.  I’ve seen skirts like it before or at least the idea.  The Heidi Merrick skirt goes for 300.00.

Few favorite Prints for Popin’ Spring

Posted on by

I put together a few of my favorite printed clothing for the spring.  I hope you enjoy them.

The Kate Spade skirt…I wish it was a little longer, nevertheless, I love the shape of the lines and her color choice. I also like the belt loops. It’s creative.

The Anthropologie dress is featured in their new catalog. It’s worth buying. Chic, flowing, vintage inspired and just can’t go out of style!

Even though I like the Lucca Couture jacket, I hate the photo. The jacket is not the center of attention and you can’t see the wonderful military detail because of the model’s pose.

The Gap and the Steven Alan shirts are somewhat similar in print. Both are polka dots. And that’s why I like both, I like polka dots.

Meeting YEOHLEE

Posted on by

This pass Saturday, I had a great day.

Among all the fantastic things that happened, I meet a clothing designer who I blogged about!

I had made plans to meet a friend at the midtown New York Public Library. On my way there, I walked pass Made in Midtown, the name of a small and welcoming boutique on 25 West 38th St.(Widely known as YEOHLEE). When I walked pass the store on Saturday, I waved to Ito, the sales gentleman and kept walking.

A month ago, on the same date to be exact, I met Ito. He is the sales associate who I met the first time I visited YEOHLEE.  His positive attitude towards the store, was basically the reason why I blogged about it.

As soon as I took a step pass the boutique, a strong desire for me to go back in visit YEOHLEE came over me. I looked at the time and realize I was a little to early anyways so I might as well visit YEOHLEE.

When I went in, I saw another sales associate who I thought might be YEOHLEE but after I introduced myself to her and she to me, I thought, oh, well, she’s not the designer. However, we all started talking about the store and the new clothing on the floor. They showed me a  scarf presented to the buyer as a doggy. It was really creative. There was a piece of fabric at the end of the  body that one suppose to cut off to reveal the scarf. It was a WOW moment for me. I was impressed.

Then Ito showed me some jewelry that was made in California by another artist who follows the same “Eco Fashion” as YEOHLEE. The bracelets and necklaces were made out of recycled bicycled tires. While we were talking, someone walked in and guess what?! It was YEOHLEE!

Ito introduced us and we chatted for a while. I was surprised and honored when YEOHLEE said that she read my blog!

After she left, Ito said to me, that was my Christmas present for you. I had a smile on my face for the rest of the day. I can’t believe that I met YEOHLEE!

My father told me to build up my faith.

I say no matter how much faith you have, God always surprises you a little more.
