Hot off the press!!

I am soooo hyper! I have had about 4 cups of coffee today. It is 10:30 pm and have no idea how i am going to be able to fall asleep tonight. Today was great. Fashionalities interviewed me and wrote 2 killer articles on me and FFF. You can read the articles at http://fashionalities.blogspot.com/2009/02/vintage-fabulous-fashion-finds.html

Things are moving up for FFF. I am working on my next fashion show. Looks like it is going to be either April 4th or 11th, so I have to get the creative wheels moving and get things in gear for the show. I will be debuting my spring/summer collection. My favorite seasons! I will be sad to put away my boots, but I am ready to pull out my mini dresses again :)

I made the samples for my new Poodlies items. They are phenomenal, but I'm biased :/

I don't know how I forgot to mention this, but a few weeks ago my friend entered me in a sexy legs contest on a local radio stations web site, which is so not a me thing to do. Long story short I was in the supermarket and the VJ called me and told me live on the radio I had won front row tickets to the Rod Stewart concert. I thought it was a joke. I must of repeated the phrase " Shut up, are you serious?" at least 5 times.

Anyways I ended up really winning, so I took one of my best friends, Nicole to see good old Rod in concert. Our seats were impressive. FRONT ROW! The man has got some moves! Here are a few pics and some other random fun shots.

I have the soul of a drag queen

I think that in my past life I was a drag queen. I absolutely LOVE them. If it was up to me I would walk around head to toe in sequins. I am obsessed with anything that shines or has glitz. I have to always have atleast one sequins item in my store at all times.. This time I have about 3 :).. I found amazing 80's sequins blouses that I will be posting tomorrow.

Had a busy weekend. Went out Saturday with some friends and spent the whole day Sunday sewing. I have LOTS of new goodies! Here are a few...

Fund raising

I participated in another fundraiser this week. Some of the proceeds went to an Eating Disorder organization. I have never been able to understand eating disorders. I just love food way to much. I guess some people have more will power to be a stick than others. I have will power for cookies and chips. lol
I brought my clothes and headbands to the event and did very well.

I got to spend the week with my child hood best friend. She moved to Brazil 12 years ago and I hadn't seen her since. I loved hanging with her again it was as if we had never stopped being friends. She left yesterday. :( Ok more Monday, I have a fun filled weekend.

Doodlies the poodlies

I feel like the weeks just keep going by faster and faster. I participated in a charity event yesterday. I brought all my feather headbands and vintage clothes. I made a killing. I feel so fortunate that in times like these I am doing so well. I have been giving Fabulous Fashion Finds a bit of a spring cleaning. My studio is pretty much complete. Unless I stumble upon some really cool vintage coffee table I think I am pretty much set.

I started making really cool feather necklaces. I will post a picture once they are completed. I had a dream last night about a fringe necklace. I am going to start making it this weekend. I have lots of pictures to post. Hope everyone has a great Valentines day. xo

Happy Monday

Did last week fly by or was it just me? I hope everyone had a lovely weekend. My weekend was pretty eventful. Went out friday with my friends stayed out way to late and then had to wake up early Saturday to take maternity pictures of my best friend. They came out gorgeous. I posted a couple for you guys to see. Sunday one of my old college buddies came into town, so we all went to lunch on the beach and then I had to go style a photo shoot a couple blocks away so we parted ways and I went off to do some work. The shoot came out awesome. Matthew Karsten the photographer is really talented. You can see some of his work at : http://stylusfunk.com/..

We did the photo shoot in this really cool back ally on south beach. She was dressed in a 60's vintage flower dress. The shoes were navy blue suede buckle boots. I finished off the look with gold accessories. One of my favorite pieces was a gold vintage buckle belt that was re made into a bracelet. I snapped a couple shots with my phone. Of course my camera was dead, so the quality of the pics is not the best but you get the gist. I will post the final pics when he sends them to me. The dress that was in the photo shoot will be available for sale a http://www.fabulousfashionfinds.net/..

My weekend was finished off by walking out to the beach and laying on the sand and watching the sunset go down. I have lived in Miami my whole life and don't take advantage of the beach , so it was nice to go out there and take it all in.

I found an amazing site its called http://pandora.com/.. It is basically a radio station that you put in your favorite song and it suggests and plays songs that are similar to the song you like. I love it. I sit on the floor in my studio and listen to all the songs for hours while making my headbands and clothes. It's a great site.

Busy as a bee

Today was hectic, tomorrow is hectic, Basically everything is just really busy and hectic. Many new things coming up: I have a trunk show on Wednesday at Scarlette Boutique from 5- 9 Pm. Come by and see all of the goodies the owner Stacey has to offer. Her stuff is INSANE, so many amazing designers that no one else in Miami carries and very reasonably priced. I will be there as well with my " Poodlies" feather headbands.

I got hired to style a photo shoot on Sunday with my Fabulous Fashion Finds vintage gear. Hopefully it will be a gorgeous day. The space is suppose to be this really cool warehouse space. I am dressing the model in a funky 60's dress. I will post the pics when he has edited everything. Its going to
be great.

My best friend Dee, is 8 months pregnant and Saturday I am whipping out my old friend ( the camera) and busting out with some of my old photography skills. She asked me if I would take some maternity nudes and of her and of course I was honored. It kinda gives me the photography itch again.. Hmmmm. Ok, no my life is already hectic I don't need a to open a 3rd company/ job. Focus ASHLEY! God, I am a true breed of my sign. A real Pisces, all over the place. Here is some of my old photography.. Enjoy

Happy New year

Hello all!! Hope everyone had a safe and wonderful new year. One of my best friends had a new years party at her house, so we spent the evening there throwing back glasses of champagne and eating way to much food. All in all it was a nice end to 2008.

I have been playing some serious catch up the past couple weeks. My feather headband line " Poodlies" is kicking butt. So between making those and sewing I have my hands full. I am having my first photo shoot for the new year this Friday. I have lots of vintage reconstructed goodies that i have been collecting for you all :) I should have everything on the site no later than Tuesday evening.

That is one of my 10000 new years resolutions. To post at least 2 new items a night. ;) lol ... ohhh I totally forgot to update you on the fashion show. It went GREAT!!! My models were so fun and the dresses looked FABULOUS ( duh) .. I sold lots of dresses, but have a few left over. You can find them on my site under the " new years dress section" I have had a few people ask me about the music that was in the show. I used a variety of different artist. here is the line up:

Opening= Santo gold- Shove it
Shiny toy guns= Le disco
Gorillas=Dare
Yelle= je vueux te voir
Goldflapp= sex ?

Here are some of my new years shots as well as pictures from my fashion show. Also, check out this great article that was written on me :) Happy new year!!!
