clothing & accessories design
east-meets-west minimalism
my site

the look
dressy utilitarian
my concept
useful, economical, modular pieces that can be mix-matched in numerous

it can!) So I say Maximize your Minimalism!

succulents and other waxy flora
particular loves
bamboo, coral, moss, woodgrain, silhouettes & other cut-outs, plastic,

favorite heel style
the wedge, but a sleek modern interpretation
second favorite
the stiletto
current shoe obsession
alas, the sneaker. (because I live in nyc and walk a ton!) but not too
sneakery of a sneaker. more of a sneaker disguised as a shoe, like a mary
jane style or a high-tech looking black one with a metallic accent. how
about Royal Elastics? I must go try some on. I really like the non-sneakeryness
of their styles.

what a bargain
 If you were a fan of Woolworth's (and who wasn't?), you would love Dee & Dee. Chances are you have never been to one. Chances are there is one in your neighborhood that you walk past once a week or so. You must go. Why? The prices! And the very great merchandise. What's not to like? Pocket tissue packs @ 10 for $1, ironing boards, full length mirrors, plush bath towels for $4, strange close-out items (those are the best), and even some interesting placemats at times. This week, they have some specials that I wanted to share with you, if you happen to live in Brooklyn, Queens, or Manhattan. Perhaps there are more Dee & Dee stores that I don't know about. Let me know if you have one near you! Let me know of your own Dee & Dee story. Here are the goodies that I thought were pretty nice. I'll let the pictures do the talking.
hotel-plushy can you believe it? $1.99!
I would choose the orange cups and the ice blue bowls.
My Penchant for Plastic tempts me to stock up!
