I Just Might Explode

I've been selling vintage and repurposed clothing and accessories on Etsy under the moniker Magpie & Birdie for a few years.  I'm hoping to create a new etsy account for my original designs under my plain ole name, Lauren Kemp, within the next few months.  Anyway, I noticed that the blogger I Just Might Explode featured one of my vintage hats in a wishlist type of post.  Very cool. That's me at #5! You can buy that hat here.

Roxy Creative runway photos

Here are some runway photos from Roxy Creative of my Fall 2011 collection, which you can view on facebook as well.

 

And again, Kimberly Cyr Calhoun made the hats and styled the show, and I made some of the jewelry and of course the clothes.
