Oh man, I’m addicted to these sweet skirts! I want to make one for myself, but Sciarrino told me she was a bit unsure about that; maybe with more mellow fabrics. Until then I’ll work through every little girl I know, starting with the birthday girls for this month. For a two year old and …

Shorty Style
I love love love short little dresses on girls. I mean super short – Shirley Temple style (I need to get some of those movies on DVD, I don’t think you can have a bad day if you watch a Shirley Temple movie. Also I my wonderful mother curled my stick straight hair like this …
