Pucci Due

Normally, I wouldn't profile 2 pieces by the same designer in one week, but somehow, being in Palm Springs just felt so perfect for at least 2 Pucci's. Believe it or not, this is a swim cover up. Um, I'm thinking the swimsuit is about all it covers! Holy shortness! Although, if you look at the latest ad for Mad Men, Megan Drapers mini is pretty mini, but at least she had tights! I love that there was a time that Pucci designed exclusively for Saks, and I love that I have this little piece of fashion history. I saw a friend today that suggested I donate some of the pieces to a fashion school. Not a bad idea, there really is a lot of history in some of these outfits, and I don't want them to disintegrate into a Miss Havisham state of disrepair. At some point, I will have to make decisions about the future of all of this. I believe having this year will be a very good tonic to help me navigate that terrain. Thank you for coming on this journey with me. xoxo

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.
