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

Day 94…

Carmen & Jordan

I promise, I am not taking liberties with the format of the blog, but I felt this post deserved it's own day. Mom, these pictures are for you. I know you were there in spirit, I know how happy you were to have met Carmen, and I know how much joy you felt that Jordan had met her. The smile on his face says it all.

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.
