Happy New Year everyone! This is my first official blog post for “taffetadarlings” and hopefully, it is the first of many to come. As 2010 unrelentingly approached, I decided that I should ring in the New Year by starting a blog. I figured it was more novel than starting a diet or quitting smoking (which would be weird since I don’t smoke) and I also thought, “What could we all really use as we enter a new decade?” The answer was so clear –- another BLOG! I’ve been tremendously inspired (and maybe even a little coerced) by the lovely talented jewelry designer and award winning blogger, Wendy Brandes http://www.wendybrandes.com/ to start my own little blog. So, here I am to share fashion, art, culture and anything else that is particularly fascinating to me at any given moment! wendy brandes in vintage patrick kelly & stacy lomman (me) in my own design
I named this blog after one of my all time favorite movie scenes http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pwj0Ir3sYSI(from Young Frankenstein). First of all, it is hilarious (or High-larious as my friend WendyB would say). Secondly, I’ve been a designer for 17 years and I know just as well as Mel Brooks how easily taffeta wrinkles! At least it’s easier to sew than silk charmeuse…
