WANDA GRACE by Laurie Underwood

So I had the pleasure of stumbling across the Chicago based line Wanda Grace by Laurie Underwood and I must say was so stoked to see such one of a kind and beautifully constructed pieces. Here are just a few of my favorites:




Myra Dress


I've become obsessed with an open back detail as of late. There's something so elegant and alluring about a simple silhouette paired with the sex appeal of low back.


Kristen Top and Timara Skirt




2 piece set to be worn in 3 ways. Top. Skirt. Dress.


I absolutely love the cage-like detail with the ruffle in the back

I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday and is having a great week, hop over to Wanda Grace's Facebook page or Website to see more of this collection by Laurie Underwood

Sneak Peek: Business Cards for M-Class and WWOT

Check out the new business cards for M-Class Creative and the blog! I'm super happy with how they turned out and can't wait to take them to the printers next week! I still have some things I want to add to the blog's card like a stylis pen for the iPad tablet and a paint brush but you get the gist of it. Hopefully I'll find a great printer that does die-cuts for business cards...Anyways, its 5:00am EST so I guess I better take myself to bed..lol. Sweet dreams or Good Morning!!

I'm on a mission to get my studio finished and looking at BCBG's corporate workspace definitely has me jazzed to finish tackling this arduous task of organizing, categorizing, and cleaning the studio.








Who says work wear has to be boring, check out some things I found while musing on the net for a few meetings I have coming up next week...

...And this boys and girls is how you do an all white interior without it looking sterile! I'm absolutely in love with the dark hardwood floors, I love the contrast it brings and how they literally ground all of the airy whites, its simply divine!
