A+D
I have been scrambling to fill my days with internships, volunteering, and any paid job that will take me. Last night, I volunteered to help out at an event held by the A+D or Architecture and Design Museum. It is a neat little institution, and I highly recommend checking out their current exhibit if you are in town.
Staff and volunteers seem to be 90% good looking ladies, if you need more incentive.
For examples, see below:

Jump Around
I love one piece outfits like jumpers and rompers. I think they are chic, fun, and make getting dressed a snap, (or a zip, if you will). I would live in them if I could. However, it is hard to find a good fit. In my efforts to do more of my clothing shopping outside of the world of "fast fashion" here is a lovely vintage option I'd love to add to my closet.
This white cotton number comes to us from the 80's and is available from Etsy seller, Dear Golden
Even though it is not a contemporary piece, the all white look is totally on trend. Would be a great wear to the beach or around the city in summer, with some bright accessories to pop.

Stalking the Runway: Leanne Marshall
I have been able to stalk Leanne Marshall via Etsy, since right after her stint on Project Runway. The world fell in love with her wedding gown, and Leanne provided through her Etsy shop Leanimal.
I haven't followed her too closely, mostly noting from time to time, what is available in her shop. Sometimes it is mostly samples, sometimes it is nearly empty.
However, this is June. June is wedding month on the internet and Leanne does not disappoint. Here are some of her lovely designs. Custom gown by a talented designer? Sign me up!

| The Belinda gown is probably my favorite. The dramatic peplum is so very right now. It adds drama and whimsy while keeping the silhouette from being too bulky. |
 |
| Alice is a sweet, simple gown that would look at home outdoors or in a backyard wedding. |
 |
| Josephine is a daring experiment with sheer lace, but I think the overall impression is still one of innocence. |
 |
| The Aubrey is a light-hearted short dress which features the signature organza flange flounces that made Leanne a star. |
Hope and Flight
Another wandering about in Los Angeles photo. Can we all pretend that flying hawks in the afternoon sky are shooting stars? I could really use a wish right now.

Stalking the Runway: Gretchen Jones
One of my favorites from seasons past has to be Season 8 winner Gretchen Jones. Her win may have been controversial, but they threw together Project Runway All Stars, so Mondo still got his due. Mondo had undeniable talent for making the zany beautiful.
Gretchen, on the other hand, made things I actually wanted to wear, I wanted to live in her denim jumper, and her crazy hemlines and southwestern jewelry. She was my secret favorite and I was really pleased that she won because it meant that she would almost definitely go out into the world and make things I could actually buy! I've been keeping my eyes peeled and recently, her apartment has been featured on several interior blogs and zines I read. Boom! Website found! Online shop, perused! Right now I'm rather poor, but I still have hope that one day I can own a piece by one of my favorite rising designers.
When my ship does come in, here is what I will be getting.
 |
| These totally rad Mining Gates Trousers $252 |
 |
| Childhood Flames Dress (Pony Print!) $321 |
 |
| Clarity and Convergence Necklace $190 |
 |
| The Hierophant Earrings or Ring $100 |
