Keystone Wounded Warriors Benefit Runway Show

Since I began Two Back Flats, the notion that you get what you give has been in the forefront of my mind. Of course I would contribute to the truly wonderful cause that is the Wounded Warrior Project. 

AND have my first runway show in the process!!

Red, white and blue hats all lined up in the studio ready for a head count and fashion showwww!!

 If you know me...you know what makes me happy ... and that is rolling hills and barns! Historic Shady Lane embraced the very heart of me the second we pulled on site!!

As I told my gorgeous assistant for the day, Karineh, if someone asked me about what I would do on a perfect day...I would say - hmmm walk up a rustic path on a beautiful 74 degree spring day and dress up a bunch of models for a runway show. Dream within a dream!!

 

 Designers tent! Good God I love a backstage buzz.

The Keystone Wounded Warriors raised over SIX THOUSAND dollars on Saturday night!! I could cry I am so excited to have had a little part in that exciting number!!! 

 

Thank you so much to Janelle at Historic Shady Lane for hosting such a beautiful day and for thinking of me :)), Nikke from Nikkay Fashions for organizing so perfectly such an honorable and important event! And CHEERS to all the awesome designers we met!!! 

Y'all made the day so much fun!!!

Custom Pinwheels

I love pinwheels. Sue me. I like putting them on my hats, I like putting them in my flower arrangements and on my lampshades and in your Easter baskets and your hair and your birthday presents, your kids and your dogs. But this headband! Oh this delicious red, white and blue headband takes my pinwheel shaped cake!! The retro carnival, state fair lover in me wants to wear this always.

So much so that I slapped a birdcage on it backstage in 3.5 seconds and it was my runway show finale piece for the Wounded Warriors Benefit!

All of the pinwheels are mismatched in vintage red, white and blue prints from stripes to houndstooth to eyelet! #classic

A few of my fave Two Back Flats pinwheel moments from the very first pink ones I used for Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum hats!! Carnival weddings! Fourth of July Parade top hats! They just work for every. little. thing. Fricken delightful!

Custom Carnival Birthday Party Hat

There is something about making a hat for a five year old that overwhelms me with confusion and elation. The decisions! The choices! The possibilities! They're endless and I'm convinced its going to leave the studio trailing glitter with a mustache and a feather boa. 

 

I may have to step away more times than usual, but I think I always wind up with a balance of 

happy and classic.

 Popcorn and Jelly Bellys. #Thisisnotadream.

 

This was Connie's second custom piece from me which melts my heart and all.. but on top of it... this lady is cool. And it sounds like Olivia is too. "She loves all colors. The crazier the better I think". The solution = colorful polka dot lining. 

Mismatched patterns = always in style

The lineup if you're inspired to make some stuff mad:

Orange Calico Canvas

                                                              Bright Polka Dot Cotton

Yellow and White Stripe Satin 

Orange Argyle

 

 She even looked pretty as I was packaging her to ship. 

#TwoBackFlats #Represent

 Happy almost birthday to Olivia! Bet your carnival party is going to be a SMASH! And thank you Connie for being an excellent gift giver and for this fun, fresh project. My birthday is June 24th.

As always for your own custom piece, message me on the ol' Facebook or Etsy. 

Love. love. love.

Eat your heart out Marie Antoinette

For you this Valentines day my lovers: Every girl's true fantasy. A real life dress up party. Alice in Wonderland meets Marie Antoinette meets East Coast bad assery.

One day, I swear I will plan something in advance but until then, you can understand how my procrastination is not dire. I shit you not, we pulled off this shoot in one week. When you have so many bougie bitches on speed dial, this is just another Sunday afternoon... ;)

My first muse Tia Darling sporting, oh so naturally, this French blue Marie Antoinette inspired mini tricorn hat and a necklace she is too humble to tell you she made herself.

 

These pink champagne coupes are not a dream. They are real. And they our mine. Well, really their ours. Another Tia & Jas thrifting escapade find!

Are you sitting down?? Well GET UP because Nina in this mini hat and Jill Andrews Gown is already one of the best moments of 2013.

 A little authentic Victorian goggle action courtesy of House of Jill. 

Jill has the most awesome assortment of the finest, classical, ton notch vintage shit you've ever seen.

Like these vintage clothing labels from Baltimore designers and department stores. Lord have mercy. #gimme

 The hauntingly beautiful Erica Von Lindenberg who I am so unbelievably lucky lends me her head for my hats. 

 And of course me! Bougie bitch numero uno feeling all glam with that red silk hair flower and this A-MAZING collar made entirely of real rose petals!! Its true!!!

And the lady herself behind these DIVINE live rose petal collars. Amanda Veronee of Anthomanic. This girl is unstoppable. Her work is straight out of a dream with its weepy, sultry, romantic vibe.

These colorssss!!! Le sigh*

Paired with the turquoise skirt surrounded by a myriad of vintage busts. Dream within a dream.

And red heart balloons :)

Did I mention this all came together in a week like real life MAGIC?! The purple flowers, the deep plum gown, that wysteria top hat. <3 nbsp="" p="">

Yes, atop that pink and gold flawlessly ruffled cake sits a pink mini tricorn hat with a tiny bird, Sailboats, pink ostrich plumes and a teeeny tiny vintage crown for aforementioned tiny bird.

Nina, Tia, Jasika, Amanda & Erica
