DESiGNER'S HANDS

This year I took on a 365 picture project, and chose the theme "The Hands That Make Us 2013". I've been sharing my daily photos on my other blog, That Rehcy Chic. Today I wanted to show you a few of the pictures from the project, specifically the pictures that involved designing garments for Rehcy Vonne.

Enjoy!

STYLED TO ROCK APPLiCATiON

So in the past two months I was invited to apply to "Styled to Rock" by three different casting producers for the show, and I finally gave in and applied last week. 

Thanks to all of them for inviting me and pushing me to apply!

"Styled to Rock" is a fashion competition television show produced by Rihanna! What?! It's similar to Project Runway, except you design stage garments for super celebs like Kanye, Katy Perry, and Rihanna. The show has already had one season in the UK, and this year will have the first season of the US version.

The idea of being on the show is very exciting, and terrifying at the same time. However, don't get to excited yet, I've only applied, and I won't know if I'm in or not for a few weeks or months, but I'll announce here if I make it to the next stage in the application process. 

The pictures above are a few of the pics I sent in on my application. 

INTERViEWED iN LURi AND WiLMA MAGAZiNE

Rehcy Vonne and I have been featured in Luri and Wilma online magazine as a Eco-conscious designer! Yay!! Such a great magazine! Much thanks to the mag for featuring me! Check out my interview here .

Oh, I am so excited and honored!

Last Instagram pics from 2012.
2012 was a wonderful year. Opened Frankie Marie by Rehcy, my Etsy vintage clothing boutique, moved into a new house with an awesome home studio, and made the "quit your backup job and jump 100% into financially depending on my company" leap. So many exciting things planned for Rehcy and Rehcy Vonne in 2013! I can't wait to share it all with you!

WEEK AT THE STUDiO: PUMPKINING AND BIRTHDAYS

I have decided that pumpkin patches are one of my most favorite places. Here I coined the verb "to pumpkin" or "going pumpkining" meaning to go gather pumpkins for fall decor. 

My beautiful birthday flowers from my Love. :-*

A new 1970s treasure for Frankie Marie. Love this skirt!

Amazing vintage necklace. Available soon at Frankie Marie by Rehcy.

Our pumpkin loot. So much fun with one of my fav peeps, Peculiar Pigeon.

Painting a shelf, this is after the first coat. Can't wait to show you the completed project!

Carving Pumpkana the Pumpkin King!

Shooting a silk dress from our Rehcy Vonne 2012 collection. Didn't my Love take some great pics?!

Krylon, you are a miracle worker! Love you!

PiLLAGiNG PLUNDERER

 

Yep, that's a $99.00 pumpkin right there. Too big for my arms to even come close to fitting around!

Adorable vintage luggage for Frankie Marie

1950s/60s bonnets from an estate sale in Pensacola, Florida.

60s/70s trim. Sooooo awesome!! Now, what to do with it!

Look at this crazy 60s bonnet. Oh so sooo pink...crazy pink! I don't know how I feel about that, maybe I can paint the roses red. ;-)

A weekend spent estate saling, flea marketing, and thrift storing. What a wildly successful pillage, that only a portion of the weekend's spoils are displayed here. Seriously can not decide what treasure is the greatest find of the ridiculous weekend. So enjoy this sneak peek of new items for Frankie Marie. Hmm, just noticed the weird focus on roundish things in this post, pumpkins, hats, platters, bowls, even a round suitcase. Guess round is the theme this time... around. heehee :-P

BiRTHDAY DREAMS

Links: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12

October is my birthday month, so here's a bit of birthday materialism for you... and me... naturally. Of course my current super birthday dreams being trips to Italy, China, or Alaska (Hint, hint, my Love).

And just to throw a few more in, here's a list of links to a few smaller things that didn't make the collage (that seem to all be from Target. Hmm weird).

Two Lumps of Sugar Storage Boxes, Awesome white floor lamp, Pretty Black Damask Lamp, Green floral storage for the studio, More green office storage, Vintage inspired boxes, Woven white storage baskets, More white storage, Bright green canvas storage

From the looks of the studio storage obsession going on in this list, the most consuming thought on my mind must be beautifully organizing studio de Rehcy.

MARKETING? PARTYING? OR JUST WEIRD? ART PARTY 9

A big part of having successful clothing and accessories company is networking. Here's how we network in the fashion world...
