Spring has sprung

Vintage yellow beaded cashmere sweater, Gucci Belt, A.P.C Jeans, Repetto flats

Another from the cannon of beaded sweaters. I love this sweater. Beads! Sequins! Cashmere! Silk chiffon lining! And I love this color for spring. The silk chiffon lining is a little worse for the wear, but otherwise, this beauty is in great shape. Sadly, the same cannot be said for many of my mom's pieces. I am truly trying to take the best care of them possible, but I must admit, it's not easy. Many of them are still sitting in a un-airconditoned attic in NY. That's some classy moth food. It makes me sad really, because while I may be able to compile a visual archive, I don't' think I will be able to physically maintain all of these items. And I'm not really ready to let them go yet. Will my girls even want them? I will just have to wait and see. xo

This Blog comes from the heart and mind, (but mostly from the heart), of Amy Sklar, interior designer, mother, daughter, foodie, and lover of fashion.

I must admit, the driving force behind this blog was my need to somehow, some way, create a tribute to my dear mother Carole Lawrence. She was a great beauty, chef, friend and mother. Sadly, I lost her to cancer February 23rd 2013. Since beginning on February 23rd 2014 it has been my goal to wear a piece of her clothing, jewelry, or an accessory that she passed on to me, for a total of 365 days (Not in a row, sorry, I am also a mother of two, a small business owner, wife and friend. I tried to do it in a row, and it almost broke me.) I believe it is a fitting tribute to this incredible woman with the greatest sense of style I've ever known. A digital archive, a love letter, a journal, a remeberance for your children and future generations. I love you mom.
