here’s a sneak preview at my spring design plans for 2008. fall debuted a little late so i sat down with my assistant today to pull together my must-haves for a sassy spring.

the top left piece is a brand new design that can be worn as a long skirt or full tube dress; we threw a belt around it for fun and LOVED it! i’ve been wanting a long, yummy, flowy piece forever and this is the perfect one.

the next piece is fall’s grecian tunic sans sleeves in a juicy shade of blue.

last featured piece is the newly designed wrap top in a succulent tangerine color. the first wrap top that i did in 2004 stayed with us for many seasons. this one is a new twist on this staple piece. there are a few more pieces including a batwing tunic dress and a kimono sleeve wrap. can’t wait to unveil it in 2008!

another night at home. picked bonnard (chubby, grouchy, black cat) up from his surgery (pimple removal) and all went well. he’s pimple free and they’ll check it with a pathologist next week. did a podcast with jessica porter of hip chick’s guide to macrobiotics. you’ll love this one, too. all sorts of good ones coming your way! a few fun meetings and then took a lovely 2-hour restorative workshop at the studio tonight and it was divine. yum!

two recent mentions in the blog world that i’ve been made aware of and had to share:

1. graffitipink
2. indyish

on graffitipink, i came across this great quote by the fabulous gloria steinem: “a liberated woman is one who has sex before marriage and a job after.” it made me smile.

the weekend promises yoga, writing time, and some creative license thanks to unstructured time. i’m delighted. may you carve out some unstructured time this weekend to laugh, read, write, dance, and be. au revior.
