BIKINI - W O E S

My preview party is in a couple of weeks and I have 2 out of 25 samples ready to show!  Designing swimwear is easy for me, the idea's are endless. The tricky part is the construction of the suit.  My seamstress' speak very little English and don't seem to notice key details.  Teeny tiny little details that I would never think to mention because it's so fricking obvious but they just seem to miss.  Like using white thread when the fabric is red - WTF?  So this week it's all about the details and making sure nothing gets "lost in translation".  I am confident that I'll have my samples ready by the time of my party - probably hand delivered at 5:55 p.m. on the day of - that's okay just as long as I have them and they are perfect.Practice makes perfect and perfect is what I want. Check out my fellow blogger Katie Elizabeth's post on making a bikini - super funny and spot on.

EAT - O U T S I D E

Take it outside people.  A warm summer evening, good friends, good food and a nice bottle of wine out on the deck, by the pool or in the backyard.  Al fresco, an Italian word that means "fresh, cool", hence ="in a cool place". On a side note in Italian Al fresco also is a slang term for being in jail - hmmm not so sure about this but that's what Wikipedia says.  Okay, back to eating outside with friends, the grill is going, the wine is flowing, conversation is causal and the atmosphere is party like. Who cares if it's Monday night, it's summer and it's all right!

BIKINI - P A R T Y

I am busily working on my Summer 2011 Bikini Couture Collection as we speak. Fabric is being printed, seamstress' are busily sewing and not only am I working on new designs to squeeze in, I am also planning a pre view  party!   Basically cocktails and bikini's (no you don't have to wear a bikini to the party) very chill. All of this plus, work, 2 kids, hubby etc.  Cra- cra I say!.  The guest list has been made, menu decided and I am going full out Rachel Ashwell Shabby Chic for my party look.  Lots of white, pops of color, big fat roses, peonies, gardenia's and of course tons of bikini's. But the key is to keep everything simple and stress free - It's a party after all.  Save the date - Saturday, September 10, 2011 y'all better be there.
