Where I live is basically the desert industrialized, and whilst I'm super fond of the climate, green things such as grass, are not...so my yard is a dirt yard.<br /><br />Planting grass just isn't an option, the soil is too hard and dry and turf is an impossibility financially, especially seen as we rent and do not own. So we've decided on gravel, surprisingly affordable...I'm also planning on a few 'mulch' areas..mainly because I like the word ; )<br /><br />I also want to grow my own vegetables, I've actually tried twice now, the first time I was almost far too successful and ended up with a lot of rotten tomatoes and the second time I went away to NY and Mr. Style neglected to water anything....yet the idea of living the 'Good Life' (British tv show from the Seventies) will not pass.<br /><br />I'm planning on planting in raised beds... cherry tomatoes, arugula and strawberries. Then in my already beautifully painted pots that used to house succulents at our old house (they've since died - yes I can't keep a plant designed for the desert alive IN the desert) I will plant basil, oregano, mint, cilantro and rosemary.<br /><br />I figured this was a good start and that any remaining pots can receive new succulents.<br /><br />It'll be a longish process for sure that will unfortunately have to begin with a lot of weed pulling...they'll grow apparently...must be all the rain & a big clean up. But I'll keep you posted with some before and after pictures.<br /><br />The beautiful picture above is one I snapped quickly on my phone, it's a garden in Culver City that is a veritable wonderland of fancy things and wildness... I dream of a garden like that!stylesmithhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15634547835491402825noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3173074752182601867.post-8853426606733333752010-02-24T18:33:00.000-08:002010-02-24T18:41:46.852-08:00Stylesmith Spring/Summer 2010: Holiday Romance: The Notebook Fascinator<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXK_EL24i71K8uLADhqsB0OEWHN8cdzYIxlcbGK4Spyq64MmXNDzMOmTZ9JNhLQekqLOoYNW90GMU8lxWwLswC7ziibrG-Tu9OVBLqu2-_DKK_Zmos8afLBbz5Re_AljyLsIVwRKsq3ZlQ/s1600-h/notebookfascinatored.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 227px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXK_EL24i71K8uLADhqsB0OEWHN8cdzYIxlcbGK4Spyq64MmXNDzMOmTZ9JNhLQekqLOoYNW90GMU8lxWwLswC7ziibrG-Tu9OVBLqu2-_DKK_Zmos8afLBbz5Re_AljyLsIVwRKsq3ZlQ/s400/notebookfascinatored.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5442004075888169314" border="0" /></a>Ok...the best piece in this new collection (I know I made it...obsessed with this myself) and the one pictured has already gone!

Happy New Year!<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;">***<br /><div style="text-align: left;"><p> Happy New Year Y'all!</p><p>So a new year is upon us and it's that time again to make promises to yourself that you may or may not keep. I for one get excited at the promise you feel when a new year begins, even if that promise is as empty as your promise to cut back on the cheese.</p><p>A New Year brings with it a chance to start afresh, make new plans, let go of old insecurities, the chance to embrace a new you.</p><p>Of course this can all often feel so trite, really what's going to be so different today from yesterday? The only year I chose to forego making a new years resolution I met and married my husband. But even then I still made quiet promises to myself, lose some weight, get a better job. It's as if however cynical you may be about keeping/breaking resolutions for the new year you're still naturally inclined to hope for a change however big or small.</p><p>So with that said. Some resolutions for the New Year.</p><p>For the Blog:</p><ul><li>Increase our productivity (i.e post more often!)</li><li>Increase our readership</li><li>Finally introduce our various new series!</li></ul> <p>For My Career:</p><ul><li>Start acting again (it's my first love)</li><li>Write more frequently.</li><li>Get out more - lol</li><li>Expand Stylesmith (website, wholesale orders, seasonal collections)</li></ul> <p>For Me:</p><ul><li>Lose weight (trite I know but I'd like my clothes to fit!)</li><li>Exercise more (to get healthy)</li><li>Organise and re-evaulate my wardrobe (this would start with tidying my room)</li><li>Get off the couch and go on 'local adventures'</li></ul> <p>My most important resolution applies to every aspect of my life. Don't be afraid. I think it's something we can all take to heart. </p><p>In my career don't be afraid to push and shout for what I want. In my life don't be afraid to get out, meet people and make friendships, in my wardrobe (this is a fashion blog after all) I can't be afraid to go for the unusual.</p><p>If you'd asked me ten years ago if I'd ever be afraid of anything, I would have answered sharks, spiders, drowning maybe? But I never thought maturity would bring with a different kind of fear. It's a silly fear bred from insecurity and I will not let it make me afraid to live my life.</p><p>So with that in mind, it's going to be a great year, wouldn't you say?!</p><p>Love,</p><p>Kelsi x</p><p>(P.S Photo Credit: I cannot remember for the life of me where I found this gorgeous photograph - if you have a clue let me know!)</p></div></div>stylesmithhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15634547835491402825noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3173074752182601867.post-89877694066109712452009-12-30T15:33:00.000-08:002009-12-30T16:06:15.613-08:00Designing the New Collection & Some Advice Needed<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYgTfcn84Giv3PO0O-VOGSplStkjQq-rhifZf7a6_uJ8zRcYSV9aHjhGm99cZtuVqepm_Uh6DiZuy5lRq9wD3NiUoKCNkctMRja3Q-h-5rpI0dv8aRnETeBTE5UH17QRjalTyg2eTif_N-/s1600-h/co27roman-holiday-posters1.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 300px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjYgTfcn84Giv3PO0O-VOGSplStkjQq-rhifZf7a6_uJ8zRcYSV9aHjhGm99cZtuVqepm_Uh6DiZuy5lRq9wD3NiUoKCNkctMRja3Q-h-5rpI0dv8aRnETeBTE5UH17QRjalTyg2eTif_N-/s400/co27roman-holiday-posters1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5421184391078542194" border="0" /></a><br />I've never really had a design process, it's a question I'm always asked in interviews and I never have an answer, "umm I just have an idea and I umm make it?"<br /><br />Well, for the first two initial collections Bird on Wire and Cocktail Collection this process worked. The collections are almost two years old and people still love them and still buy them. However the subsequent collections, 'Royal Anarchy' and 'RGB' not so much (the Sparkle Hats not included - people love em!)<br /><br />So with this in mind I'm tired of throwing money at a collection and then having to sell it all at clearance because nobody loves it but me. I've actually decided to implement a design process for the new collection which will be Stylesmith's first seasonal collection. An actual Spring/Summer 2010 Collection based off some of my early jewelry designs, entitled, 'Holiday Romance'<br /><br />I started with a story, a feeling. This is how all my collections start, I tend to treat them as a character in a film, this film is starring Audrey Hepburn, and is my personal version of Roman Holiday, but in full technicolour.<br /><br />Then I began sketching (which I'll post at a later date) Heavy on the whimsy, but retaining a certain amount of simplicity, which I believe is what makes my hats wearable. I knew I wanted bows, polkadots and pom poms, so I worked them into some designs, thinking all the while about fabrics - wool felt, veiling, silk dupioni. Then I start to think about colours. This is where it's get's hard for me, an avid fan of colour I want to do each design in a thousand colours. Financially and practically it's just not possible so I begin to limit them. I've ended up with eight new designs in several colours.<br /><br />I'm now at the production stage. Because I'm not usually into a process, I don't normally have to deal with the reality of making what I have concocted in my head work in practice. Usually I just play and if it works it works.<br /><br />So it's at this point where I'm struggling especially when it comes to colour. I spent yesterday making a ton of pom poms only to realise that once the wool was pom pom-ified the colours were lost and looked pretty awful together. I wanted to have colours reminiscent of gelato, instead I got an 80's melange of mismatched colours (partly due to not being able to find exactly what I wanted in my local Michaels)<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAh7x8YByYePTrNslpBDXwoO1Jqg7BO1BHPCq6yokx87OPnm6czDbwKUSQf_wQAgmiOah_0AL1XknuAO4YDrA1Dwft0retHP_AUsI1jjobYO-R7Bs138V8yqdA-0Oots4imrlc_Ypml96m/s1600-h/pompomhatscolours.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 191px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAh7x8YByYePTrNslpBDXwoO1Jqg7BO1BHPCq6yokx87OPnm6czDbwKUSQf_wQAgmiOah_0AL1XknuAO4YDrA1Dwft0retHP_AUsI1jjobYO-R7Bs138V8yqdA-0Oots4imrlc_Ypml96m/s400/pompomhatscolours.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5421182991408011618" border="0" /></a>So back to the drawing board. Above are the colours I want and will hopefully get (it's the internet you have to prepare for some misnomers) and I would love some feedback before I order and end up with even more wronged poms!<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">I'd like to know a) what you think of the colours themselves b) of the combos?</span><br /><br />Sorry I've rambled.
