Vuitton and on

This is a belt that really needs to be dressed down to avoid looking poncy, and to be honest I don't reach for it that often, because I am not crazy about loads of logos, but I think it's ok with jeans and a tee. The irony is that when I was finally able to afford nice gifts for my mom-I bought her a Louis Vuitton duffel bag, to replace one that was stolen years before. She didn't really use it much, because those darn bags are heavy, but I found it when I was cleaning up, and I actually do travel with it on occasion. Somehow the print does not bother me as much in luggage form, probably because my dad always travelled with a Vuitton suitcase (he also had a Vuitton tennis racket cover! I have to finds that!) and I thought that was pretty cool.

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.
