These are the days....

I got to wear this bag to a very stylish friends house for a birthday celebration this Saturday. I don't have many occasions to break out these bags, so when I do, it's always fun. I feel very lucky to have girlfriends that like to play dress up as much as I do. While this outfit was not my mom's style, I believe she would have dug it. She was a pretty cool lady underneath all that St. John knit. I do believe that my mom had a little rock and roll in her. Hmmm maybe that's where I got it from?

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.
