Dreaming in full color - Riding Boot Sensation for Spring 2011

The World Equestrian Games in Lexington brought horse lovers from all over the country to the Bluegrass State. Not only were the equine in spectacular condition, but fashions everywhere flaunted steed style. Thus inspiring me to take a fresh look at the past stallion attire I had created because of a “Pucci Trist” in hopes of influencing their Spring Collection.

Can’t you just see it now, patent leather riding boots in bold colors with a Pucci punch as the strap or accent!? What a statement that would make strutting down Madison Avenue.









































Mare and mustang are no match!

Even if the boots I designed don’t yet exist, you can still sport your fashionable flair with an original silk scarf.

Equestrian Escapade - heroing the riding boot, velvet helmet, horse shoe and bit with a thoroughbred taking center stage. Bordered by an impressionistic fence in white, banded with soft tones of blue.

Each scarf is 100% charmeuse silk and measures 36”x36” square. The perfect accent to casually tie around your waist, wrapped around your head secured with a bow, over your shoulders or tossed into your purse to add spunk to a solid palette.



Starting at $118

(now available at www.greyhalldesign.com and Tulips on Erie, Hyde Park Square).

Set Sail Toward Style - GREEK ISLES Silk Scarf

Having sailed through the Greek Isles following my stint in Luxembourg before London bound, a 30ft schooner was the mode of transportation with Miami University girlfriends. The picture perfect, pristine white buildings against a backdrop of deep turquoise forever impressed me. The classic combination of blues romanced by white is a combination that never gets tired - always breathing life into any room aesthetics, and tailored class to any ensemble.
Be whisked away by my newly designed silk scarves reminiscent of a sailing venture, island hopping from Santorini to Porto, Spetses and Hydra. Interwoven into the design is the iconic Greek Key, and Mykonos windmill against a skyscape of whitewashed domed buildings nesting on arid cliffs.

Each scarf is 100% charmeuse silk and measures 36”x36” square. The perfect accent to casually tie around your waist, wrapped around your head secured with a bow, over your shoulders or tossed into your purse to add spunk to a solid palette.

It’s a Tie – Rugged & Refined Collide at the Style Finish Line

Cincinnati just got a little more hip. Artfully Disheveled http://www.artfullydisheveled.com/ introduces the Midwest to tailored class with an edge.

The new dress code of the Queen City gentleman – a pure silk necktie transforms the expected into a little bit of grit with the right touch of glamour. You can perfectly pair these ties with anything in your wardrobe no matter your destination - a football game at your alma mater or a client meeting at the office... establishing a “new traditional.” The Casual Friday is mundane and boring to the female eye. It tends to be over-done and underwhelming. Artfully Disheveled reawakens and reinvents the expected for a relevant, contemporary presence.

Read their story, and you’ll see the common thread of inspiration that stretches from the Renaissance era to the next generation of modern masculinity. http://www.artfullydisheveled.com/the-story/



On the heels of the resurgence of Mad Men classicism, you won’t want to miss their “Beg, Borrow & Steel” Collection. Join the movement and become the well-dressed rebel or tailored misfit.
