It's that time of year when we all get a little crazy. I am doing my utmost best to keep my days as stress free as possible. A little decorating later today. I have orders for the pickles that I make, so that's on the to do list, but...I plan on getting in some walks and at least 1 yoga class this week.
A few days ago, the video below was posted on Facebook and I was so inspired. You may have seen it, but if you haven't, by all means, take a look. It's just a little over 2 minutes long, so it won't take any time at all. Absolutely love how the traditional Sadu fabrics of the Bedouin women have been used in such a lovely, modern, and yet, respectful manner.
The designer, Katya Kovtunovich in and surrounded by her designs.
I love the inspiration of the stripes. Just a touch on this little black dress.
Fabulous pencil skirt design.
Love the pants.
My favorite piece of all. Such a fun use of the stripes.
Katya's story is really quite interesting. Her parents felt that although her dream was to be a fashion designer, she should pursue something that would give her a better chance at success. She became a writer for Vogue magazine, but ultimately pursued her dream. You can read her story HERE. It's a little long, but well worth the time.
Have a wonderful start to your week!
And remember to do something nice for yourself :)

Beautiful! Gave me some ideas for a fabric that's been lying around for some years. When I'll actually get to it - well, that's another story.
