Studio L. Fashae': Cocktail Dress & Fun Skirt

Studio L. Fashae' was burning the midnight oil!

Sewing is so relaxing, especially with all that TFC has going on. Designing is what I live for {my babies toooo lol}. I get so much life and excitement from creating...so much in fact...I made this dress last night!





 Not finished yet, but it's gonna be SUPER CUTE!

...............................


THIS piece is finished!


Fun skirt I can wear high or low waist and with a hi or low hem.



 Lace lining is a nice touch....


....and Pockets!


There's more where these came from.
I'm working on my first Plus Size samples for a client's start-up, along with another fitting Sunday with Ryan Durham from Teens Making A Change Foundation {HERE}; dope piece! =D

16 Spring/Summer Essentials for That Fashion Chick {2014}

Spring and summer is our time to lose the layers and be freer with our wardrobe…show some skin! There are a few basic essentials that every fashion chick should keep in their closet.
Go for pieces that compliment your personal style, when it comes to fabric and prints. Remember balance & flow is key.  A closet full of versatile pieces makes for a longer closet life.
Check out TFC's S/S essentials below!

  1. Printed Silk Shorts: things that make you go ahhh! This piece pairs well with the basic essentials. Shoes with height {heels/wedges/platform shoes} will bring the best out of this piece.
  2. White Distressed Denim: distressed denim has become quite the essential for S/S. Keep it edgy-chic; try for a day to night transition.
  3. Cat Eye Shades: classic shades…last year I said aviators, this year it’s all about the cat eye!
  4. Grey Cardigan: a basic, fitted cardigan goes with everything. Pick neutral colors like camel or grey; the style will last years to come.
  5. Cigarette Pants: slightly looser than the skinnies, this is a great contour pant. Try different denim and prints as well as a crop style.
  6. Pleat Skater Skirt: nice wild card to the many different skirt styles you already possess. The pleat skater skirt is fun and compatible for the day to night switcheroo. Pick a {solid} bright or pastel color for a subtle, but BAM! statement.
  7. Lightweight Trench Coat: the weather can be so unpredictable, in certain places. Be prepared for the night chill and ‘chance of rain’. A color popping trench will be on trend.
  8. Funky Flats: flats with personality carry your look further {makes the same impact as a banging heel}. The quirkier the better.
  9. Camisoles {1Black, 1 White}: a great under layer that can also stand alone.
  10. Floral Playsuit: something fun and flirty that makes a chick feel very femi-chic, in the heat.
  11. Stud Earrings: when in doubt go with studs; works with just about all jewelry combos.
  12. Oversized-Chic & Graphic Tee’s: much needed essentials 365 days a year. Simple piece for a laid back mood. Accessories are your friend!
  13. Rose Gold Watch: different from the typical gold…makes more of a classy, girly statement.
  14. Bucket Bag: switch it up from the structure bag. This is another good wild card piece. Make sure this bag has plenty personality!
  15. Maxi Dress: summer dresses depend on your comfort and liking. The maxi is one dress in particular that is loved by all. Different prints and various styles {we love slits}, keep the maxi dress updated.
These basic essentials are great starter pieces when assembling your S/S looks!

Fashion Life: Non-wearable fashions that are stylishly cool + a Special Note!

There is power in fashion...you & me create it! =D

Special Note:

Fashion is an art. Art is clarity for me, which is expression that is subjective. Nothing is new under the sun, so being creative is based on your own perspective {opinions are okay}. 

TFC has so much in store for you fashion chicks and fellows. You will start to see everything I've done with TFC {these past 3 years, applying what I was taught and learned *a formula*}, come together sooner than later!

R.I.P L'Wren Scott, Fashion Designer {Fashion News}


L'Wren Scott with boyfriend Mick Jagger
The fashion industry received sad news today.


It's being reported that fashion designer L'Wren Scott, 47{girlfriend of Rolling Stone rocker Mick Jagger} was found hanged to death in her Manhattan apartment today around 10 am EST. Scott was found by her assistant; it seems to be an apparent suicide, though no note has been found.


Like. Whoa.


TFC became more familiar with L'Wren Scott thanks to her big collaboration with Banana Republic last year, as well as being a red carpet fave.  Scott's label is very womanly-chic {for the lady}... L'Wren Scott Rest In Peace.


A spokesperson for Jagger said he is "completely shocked and devastated" by the news.
