A blog about a mother, her clothes, her daughter, and healing from loss.

Day One...

February 23, 2014

As promised, today is the day that I begin my year long journey into the pictorial remembrance of my beautiful mother, Carole, wearing at least one item of hers everyday. Today it is simple: a gold snake chain Cheetah head belt. She would have worn this in the seventies, maybe in an all camel ensemble, over her fitted turtleneck, to accentuate her waist. I love you and miss you everyday.

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.
