Kenley Collins is partnering with Unique Vintage

I am a HUGE fan of Project Runway.... most of us who are into fashion love PR, and we all have our favorite designers. One of my favorites is Kenley Collins. I loved her attitude, and spirit.  She made Season 5 (on Bravo TV) extra fun. Of course, she was on Project Runway All Stars Season 1 lots of fun.

I checked out Kenley's website, and I found a lot of vintage inspired frocks. Not really my thing, but definitely something I could imagine from Kenley. My favorite item is this:

Besame Lipstick and Scarf set. It's $45; not too bad.

                             
 
So.... I found out through Racked.com that Kenley will be collaborating with Unique Vintage to make a Blue Floral Crop Top and Circle Skirt set. It's $138.00. It's very retro... something along the style of Bettie Page or Dita Von Teese
 
 


I like the print, and I like the cut of the skirt, but I don't like the length of the top. It's clearly meant for someone who hasn't had any kids.... Oh, well.....

Mend and Make Do: Repairing Small Moth Holes in a Cashmere Sweater

Image
This is another cashmere sweater I love.  Of course, when I wanted to wear it... Holes!!!!! I hate sweater holes!!!! Instead of throwing out the sweater, I bought some iron on butterfly patches. I just placed them over the holes... and ironed them on. Here's the front, with the holes covered. Here's the back. The moth holes are now covered with butterfly patches. My nice cozy sweater is done.

How to Dye a Leather Purse with Spray Paint Color

Image
How to color a leather purse.... This one happens to be a Prada bag. Yup, real deal. Here's the story behind this post. I bought a beautiful Prada bag at an estate sale earlier this year. Sadly, we had a fire in our house (in May 2013), and whatever could be salvaged went out to the professional cleaning service. It came back to me physically intact, and not reeking of smoke. But.... it needed (ahem) color adjustment. Step 1: Collect your supplies This step is a "no duh" step, but sometimes it really needs to be said. I got the purse, latex gloves and a can of Meltonian  Nu-Life Color Spray in 645 Chocolate.  I made sure sure to read the can, since the dye in this can is basically a can of spray paint that is suitable for use with vinyl, plastic and leather.  The directions state very clearly to use this in a "well-ventilated area", so I decided to take this project outside.  Step 2: Spray the "Color Spray" on the

Trip to Philadelphia, PA to Theatre of Living Arts to see RATT

Image
I am a child of the 80s. I love hard rock and metal music, and have for quite some time. I have a local radio station that I adore,  103.7 WMGM Rocks  and I had the luck to win RATT tickets from them. I have been a fan of RATT  since I first saw "Round and Round"  on MTV in 1984. So.... Fast forward to March of 2017. I called and won tickets when I answered a trivia contest through 103.7. My 1980s fangrrl was super-happy when I collected my tickets. I was so excited about going to the show! I made my  black lace "vegan leather" top  and paired it with a black "laser cut" "vegan leather" jacket, chain belt, black "vegan leather" pants and knee-high suede boots.     My older son went with me on April 27, 2017. We went to  The Strange and Unusual Oddities Parlor Then, we went to the  Eye's Gallery         Then, we waited in line to get inside the  Theatre of Living Arts Ratt (Stephe
