Since my accident and necessary hand surgery last November I have obviously been unable to sew or create any new items for my Etsy shop,
The Sparkling Cocktail. Well, four months later and I am STILL in recovery! I had no idea my recovery would take this long! Wow, the hand and is very complicated which is what makes it so useful.
So I don't just sit around feeling sorry for myself, I want to turn my mis-fortune into a gift for you! I have marked down all of the items in my shop 60%!! This is a HUGE sale and will hopefully benefit any of you craving a little more glamour in your life at affordable prices! This sale will last until I can restock my shop with new designs. But don't wait around, many of the items are the last ones available!

I have also listed a few fabulous vintage patterns from the 40's, 50's and 60's. Take a peek.
My handmade shop, The Sparkling Cocktail, is still open. Stay tuned for an AMAZING give away and HUGE SALE while my hand is healing!!
In 1945, inspired by Cecil Beaton at a photo shoot for Vogue, Henry Clarke borrowed a Rolleiflex camera and began taking pictures.
In 1949 he moved to Paris. Within a year he became a renowned fashion photographer in his own right. He collaborated with French, English, and American Vogue for the next 25 years.
Henry Clarke loved to capture the elegance of women. He worked with the top models of his time like Suzy Parker, Bettina, and Ann Sainte Marie.
He bequeathed his historical collection of photographs to the Musée de la Mode et du Costume in Paris in 1996.
If you are at all familiar with my designs you know I gravitate towards satins and lace. The Fall 2010 collection from Dolce & Gabbana was full of inspiring looks in that vain. I absolutely loved their collection!
I really want this bold flower print coat! So pretty!
I also loved their D&G collection. Full of apres ski sweater dressing with lot's of glamorous fur!

The Keepsake collection from Fleur of England is so gorgeous! I love the soft pewter color and the light french lace. I am especially drooling over the kimono pictured above. This is luxury lingerie at it's finest!
