Hand Embroidered Peruvian silk blouse

Hand Embroidered Peruvian silk blouse

Day 169

September 15, 2014

For sure this must have been my Grandmothers's or, maybe it was a gift for my mother from her.  I am so crazy about this top, it looks amazing with the ivory silk maxi skirt, and I think it would be equally great with jeans.  That is the thing I like so much about the last three pieces posted,  They are all great together, or on their own. There really is so much diversity in this collection.  Trust me, I will get to a few pieces that will probably not move into my daily rotation (Opera cape anyone?), but really there are a lot of surprisingly wearable pieces in the mix.  I think some take more moxie to pull off  than others, but this-this is any easy sell.

Carole Nash-Lawrence Circa 1976

Carole Nash-Lawrence Circa 1976

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.
