Creative Ladies of Evolve

I'd like to share an article that was recently published in the Post-Gazette about Tara Rockacy and her farm. She is an inspiring woman and I am lucky to have her as a client.


Also, her super sweet and equally talented friend, Chrissy, is quite the seamstress. She has created her own line of bags and I have 2 of them. They are great for everyday and hella durable. Check out Chrissy Lambrou's wares on her etsy site.

My New Favorite Place in PGH

Over the past year or so, I have really come to love gardening. I admit, I am a total novice and my experience is little to containers. But- it is a good place to start and the beauty of it is I will be able to take them with me when I move.

On Saturday the wonderful and talented Kelly Flynn told me all about Brenckle's Nursery and Greenhouse(s). Kelly inspired me to take a trip that evening, and needless to say I was stoked! After browsing the massive selections of flowers, herbs and veggies I took my newest treasures home.

I got to work Sunday morning and summerfied the coop*. Who need digging in the dirt could be so fantastic?

*coop- is our apartment which once upon a time housed a chicken coop and a slaughterhouse.

More Like a 90s Fashion

Ahhh, the 90s, my formative years.

We are incessantly bombarded with cultural nostalgia. Looking at my fossil watch (90s reference #1) the hour is nigh for America's continuing obsession with all things retrospective to exploitatively revisit this bygone era. And by "bygone" I mean a whole 9 years ago. I imagine the the formidable VH1 has already addressed this subject in depth. I don't have cable, so indulge me, okay?

Since the 80s definitely hold more memory of all things fabulously campy, the 90s were, self-consciously defined as a departure from the excess of the 80s. Well, maybe not completely. But the transition was evident.

Having grilled a few clients today, here are some of the most deliciously sinful 90s indulgences.

• slip dresses over white t-shirts - I believe Jennifer Aniston had a fondness for this look, I know I was a frequent offender.
• Ms. Aniston's infamous "Rachel" -I rocked that mess on my passport photo, half of the haircut I did myself.
• overalls- the epitome of dreadful
• vibrantly colored denim
• Cross Colors
• British Knights and LA Gear
• silk shirts and vests
• long flowy floral skirts and Dr. Maarten's
• baby doll dresses
• chokers
• over-tweezed, pencil thin eyebrows
• essentially anything that could have been part of Courtney Love's beloved "kinderwhore" look - I am not sure I am fully over this look yet, sadly.

Sigh. Some things are hard to quit.
