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

Pleats please

I am in love with this skirt, It holds that perfect place between formal and effortless, it is easily something that could be worn with stilettos and a strapless top, or sandals, a tee shirt and a denim jacket. I did not even wait to send this skirt home in a carton, this went straight home in my hanging bag. The hand of the silk is so incredible, very substantial, and yet effortless to wear. So special.

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.
