The My-Sunday Skirt ;)

I am such a sucker for skirts!!! When in doubt how to dress, always opt for a skirt. Not as formal as a dress and not as casual as pants, they're the perfect in between.  And they're half the price of a dress and you can mix and match them with everything! Mini, pencil, and maxi, I love them all ;)  
The My-Sunday skirt is longer then a mini and shorter then a pencil.  Making it PERFECT for church or even dinner out with friends...in fact, I wore it to church today ;)...i actually made John take these pics right before we headed out the door! And now I can see why all the girls get so flustered when I take their pics..lol...I was like "I don't know how to stand"..."take another one"..."how should I stand next"!haha  
I'm also obsessed with this thick, houndstooth woven fabric in nude and light pink....who says you can only wear jewel or earth-toned colors in the fall/winter when even thick wool fabrics come in pastels!

My-Courtney skirt on Court ;)

Courtney Jordan- cute as can be and so full of life, she has such an elegance and grace to her, yet so fun and crazy all at the same time ;)  Born in the North, but meant to be from the South, she has southern belle charm and such sophistication to her style.  Always trendy and designer savvy, she has a closet full of Tory Burch shoes, Louis bags, Lilly dresses, and soon to be filled w/ My-Kim ;)  In fact, the first time I met her our sophomore year in college, I walked into her dorm room and saw a set of Louis Vuitton luggages in the corner. I was like, are those real?!?!LOL  And of course they were real, Ms. Courtney Jordan would never sport a fake! Knowing her closet consisted of a ton of Lilly and J.Crew pieces, I couldn't wait to get her in a My-Kim! 
With Court's tiny, perfect figure, I was so excited to try something new on her! With game day in mind, we designed the My-Courtney skirt that's perfect for tailgating. A short mini that's comfy and fun with pockets! And we added two gold buttons at the waistline for a sophisticated Courtney flair ;) This skirt couldn't be any cuter on her...can't wait to see her sport it at the FL game!!!

My-Jessica on Jess ;)

According to the "Merruim-Webster Dictionary and Thesaurus 11th edition," the definition of a best friend is the one who is closest to you and knows you better then you know yourself.  The first person you go to when you need someone to talk to. They are the shoulder to cry on, bc you know they truly care and they give the best hugs in the world. And the one that will always tell you things that you don't want to tell yourself.  Ms. Jessica Koehler started ALL, and I mean ALL of her essays in college with this "According to the Merrium Dictionary" phrase!!!haha 

Friends since 5th grade, we have been through it all!..through the good times and the bad...fm high school parties and breaking curfews(trying to sneak back into her room), senior week and spring breaks, break-ups and make-ups, Carolina football games, graduating high school and college, first big girl jobs, engagements, and SO, SO MUCH MORE to come!!!

They say your best friend is someone you call when you have nothing to talk about...(when I drive, or when she walks her dog), or the most important thing to talk about (when John proposed)!... Jess was actually the first person to call out me and John before we even dated...saying that he would be a great guy to marry and that we would end up together.  And being my best friend she was right!  And I can't wait until the day I'll be right ;)

I thought I was going to have writer's block when it came to Jess and even contemplated not writing anything at all!lol  It seems to be a trend with us....so close that we NEVER signed each others year books, and HARDLY ever take pictures together when we go out!lol But it's actually been pretty easy so far! She's so fun to be with, always straight forward, and most importantly LOYAL!!!  And that's my favorite thing about Jess, she always takes my side even if I'm wrong.  Beautiful and loyal to the core, she's my best friend and I thank God he brought her into my life ;) 

Jess looks ADORABLE in this gameday dress! She picked out a two-shouldered dress, with pockets, and a an open back. Anddd the open back is high enough that you can wear a bra with it!!!...I CANT WAIT for her to wear it to the FL game ;)

LOVE, LOVE the button she picked out!!!...Again, my fave part!!!

Gena's Wedding Reception Dress ;)

Who would've ever thought I would design a reception dress for the sweet, timid girl that sat next to me in Spanish class TEN years ago!!!  Being a grade younger then everyone else, Gena was a tad shy in class but I knew she just needed a little warming up to break out of her shell.  She probably thought I was obnoxious and wanted me to leave her alone, but i am SO GLAD I didn't!!!lol  As the year progressed, I got to know Gena and she is one of the most down to earth, sweetest girls I know.  So to have Gena ask me to design her reception dress, on one of the most important days of her life, was such an incredible honor for me.  I was so estactic that I agreed right away, not knowing how I was going to pull it off!lol  

Gena loved the style of Sara Seven dresses.  So I knew I wanted to do a pleated sweetheart, poofy dress.  You can see my lack of education in sewing, calling it a "poofy" dress!haha  Anyways, I thought something fun, short, and flirty to dance in during the reception would be PERFECT!!!  So I bought some organza material, folded some pleats, and started sewing away, and somehow it turned out BEAUTIFUL!!!  THANK GOD!!!  I was so nervous, but as soon as she put the dress on I couldn't be happier with the results.  Granted Gena would look good in a brown paper bag, the dress looked stunning on her!  

To have Gena wear a My-Kim dress on her special day meant the world to me, and I can't put into words how I felt to see her on the dance floor wearing a dress that I made.  I'm just happy that I got to be a part of it and wish her and Matt a lifetime of happiness ;) CONGRATS MR. AND MRS. RUSSO!!!
