St. John Evening Gown

It's official- I NEED to get invited to some red carpet events stat. Not that I don't love trotting these gowns out in my backyard, but one day I'd love to take them public. I love this gown, it is a vintage St. Johns, and in true St. John fashion, the knit is amazing. I thought I saw a small moth hole, and panicked, I believe this is one of the dresses worth saving. So what if my basement will smell like camphor! I hate to say it, while I love the thought of cedar spray, it does not do the trick. This will require the big guns. Anyone have any good moth tips!?

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.
