I have long been a fan of Kate Spade products. I love her classic but fun design sense. I recently went to the Kate Spade Fashion Show they had at the Bloomingdales in Short Hills Mall, NJ. The exciting part (besides the new fashion line that is out) is Tim Gunn hosted the fashion show. It was exciting to see Tim Gunn Host the show and answer questions at the end. I really enjoyed seeing the new fashion line that is out. Besides the new clothing line there is also a jewelry line that has been expanded with many great pieces.

As you can see in some of the photos I have shown they are showing a lot of colored tights that are a fun accessory for the winter. I love how the colors play off each other and you would not think to combine them together. It is a lot of fun!

Bodega

On the boardwalk in Asbury Park is a hidden store of all special things. I recently visited Bodega http://www.bodegashoppe.com/ with my friend and partner Kelly of Goodies Designs. I was excited, since I love France and Marie Antoinette, to find the store all decked out for Bastille Day.

The paper wigs pictured are done by artist Jeffrey Rudell - they are absolutely amazing!

They were created for the Tiffany & Co. flagship 5th Avenue store and they are on temporary loan to Michael at Bodega (for his Bastille Day display.)

More information about the paper wigs can be found here: http://www.craftstylish.com/item/5787/depth-charge-how-to-make-a-splash-and-get-paid-for-it

You can find Jeffrey’s online bio at www.CraftStylish.com, & where he has been a blogger for the last year: http://www.craftstylish.com/profile/Jeff_Rudell

The doll that you see pictured on the scale is done by an artist Constance Mueller.
