Style of the Week July 13th

Hi,

It's Aliya.   I'm here again for style of week!

I picked these pieces to show how much I adore clothes and fashion. I chose all these pieces for different reasons.  I chose the button shirt because you can wear it different kind of ways and for many different occasions. I chose the capelet because it's trendy but still sophisticated in many ways such as the colors, the buttons, etc. I chose the skirt because I am in love with lace. Additionally the other reason is that it just goes well with the capelet and the button up shirt.

I thought it would be nice to let you know some things about myself. I'm 15, and for the summer Sumie is my boot camp teacher. Yes I said it , my boot camp teacher!

I'm an amazing person on the inside as well as the outside. I've been in love with fashion all my life ....well not exactly all my life but until this year, drawing and just making little stuff at the age 6 was how I started.

I hope you enjoy reading this.

Love,
Aliya

Aliya's First Style Of The Week

Hi ,
My name is Aliya, and this is my first style of the day.
I chose these four piece to represent me as a designer and to represent Sumie's clothing as best i could.
I especially love this look because I can see myself in this one day.

I just fell in love with this wool tweed shrug because of the charcoal black and the little bits of white. I picked the dress because I loved the stiffness and how it flares out. The choker just went so well with this shrug and dress because of the hint of  the light navy blue that  pops out. The anklets were my absolute favorite because I jus fell in love with the lace and snaps.

I hope you enjoyed reading my first post.

Love,

Aliya

Look of the Week "Rain rain, not on my outfit"

                                    

Hi everyone,

It's Caitlyn here for this week's look. I'm sad to say this is my last day interning for Sumie Tachibana. It has been down pouring on and off today, but I hope that is not bringing you fashionistas down. That is why I choose a hooded capelet to go with a Aline mini skirt. You can walk around without getting your hair or shoulders wet then easily take off the capelet to show off your cute outfit. The lightweight blouse and skirt are great for this weather so you can dry off quickly. This is also a great way to wear shiny fabrics while still looking chic.

Custom Order Skirt:: Just Completed

I thought I'd share my latest custom order skirt.

It's the Alice III skirt with a magenta silk taffeta underskirt.
The original Alice III has a white embossed linen in place of the magenta silk taffeta.

I usually do not use color unless if it's a custom order, such as this one.
The color is starting to grow on me!

Sincerely,

Sumie

Snow White :: Photo Shoot

This past weekend we had a really cool editorial test photo shoot titled: Snow White.

My dear friend, Princess and I went to a Park in Kew Gardens to pick up several large fallen branches earlier that week.  Then I painted them black.  The forest ground is black mulch that I purchased from Home Depot.  And there was the beginning of a dark and mysterious forest!

Here are some behind the scenes shots from the day of the shoot.


Thank you again everyone for such a fun and successful shoot:

Style of the Week

Hello, all! Alex here again with another style of the week. Summer is right around the corner, and you know what that means... kids everywhere! Remember those days of freedom and fun in the summer time? Ah, only if we could be so lucky to be young and care free! This weeks look is inspired by youth.

Sometimes it can be a challenge with the "age" of your outfit. Always remember that it is possible to look younger or sometimes .... older... with the clothes your are wearing. This look is an appropriate way to dress up with a youthful vibe.

First, we have the top; a white twill weave made from stretch cotton twill. This means that the fabric is breathable, and, this cotton has some stretch which means extra comfort while wearing this top. Not only is it great in the sense of comfort, it is also fantastic when it comes to styling. The neck extends, almost like a scarf, which means you can get more than one look from just this one shirt. Finally, this shirt is great for the office, dressing up or down!

Secondly, there is the jumper. This is the main piece that gives our style of the week a youthful appearance.   Because the shirt is a little more on the formal side, the jumper's curves and playful silhouette helps to give the look a more exuberant vibe. It is made from cotton, which gives the jumper plenty of movement and you the comfort and freedom to get around.

Finally are the accessories!

First, is the corsage cuff. This was used to play along with the jumper's youthfulness, but, can also be worn with almost any casual outfit to give it that extra "Umph!" It is also very soft and comfortable, which is important.

Finally, are the anklets. Just like the cuff, it is a great way to finish a look. They are fun, can give emphasis to the feet when wearing a skirt, or can dress up casual shoes. Because they are "corset styled" they can be adjusted for any size. What a great way to finish a look!

Summer may be just around the corner, but with this look you will be feeling cheerful all day long. Hoping you are having a great week and an even better weekend!

Used in this look:
Blouse
Jumper
Anklets
Cuff

Alex
