Her Majesty Just Wanted to be a Bad Girl

In the age of repression, she dreamed of breaking free of the confines of her proper, buttoned up ladyhood. Even her secret journals revealed that Her Majesty desired a taste of courtesan freedom. Deep down she simply just wanted to be a bad girl.

I was playing around with some fashion plate images from the 1800's and divine guidance led me to create this whimsical piece as part of a new collection I'm calling Victorian Secrets. I'll bet those gals had a LOT of juicy stories to tell. Imagine yourself immersed in a secret victorian life. What delicious secrets would you write about?

The Shabby Chic Armoire

The shabby chic armoire I've been talking about for months has finally exited the nebulous realm of my thoughts and come forth in all its graphically designed French glory! Do you love it? I sure do.

Shabby chic, also called cottage style reflects timeless, vintage quality that combines the new with the old. It is often light, airy, warm and welcoming. I see shabby chic as design with clean, crisp lines, lots of white or pastel colors, floral Victorian prints and vintage style.

This armoire is based on the antique French armoire and I think it fits the shabby chic style beautifully. I'll be working with this design to create displays for my paper dresses.
