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

In a clutch

What pairs better with jeans and a simple black top? A bright yellow wicker clutch, that's what! I can't wait to break this out more this summer. So fun! I believe that my grandmother passed this on to my mom, and of course it has made it's way to me. But honestly, this looks like it could have just jumped off the pages of current fashion magazine with the tagline "10 bright summer clutches" Vive la summer.

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.
