Hilarious Pics of the Bestie + 1 More Pic in Time...
Yesterday my best friend of 27 years (yes, we go waaaaay back) texted these pics of her with the Time Out Mag I sent her in the mail. She seems more excited that I did! I think it’s cuz she thinks that once I hit it big time, she will quit her job and become my assistant. But I’ve already fired her. Ha!
And one more pic from the mag. In my haste to turn to page 23, I didn’t...

the Blogs Are Talking: Nakimuli x Time Out NY Mag...
This weekend I received a printed copy of my Time Out NY Magazine feature in the mail. I was so surprised that I got the whole page to myself!!! Usually they create a collage of all the people they feature and make it a 2 page spread. But they only featured me, which was odd but wow! I’m loving it! Forever excited and grateful.
Now I have to run and buy like 5 copies and send them to my...

diary of a designer- day 46
This week has been insane! Between Eva wearing the coat, the Time Out NY spread, the overwhelming orders, and emails of future promise, I am exhausted but excited about life right now. And to top it off, I had the BEST Valentine’s Day in a very long while. Funny, it had nothing to do with a dude. On V-Day, I was able to go to 2 couture fashion shows!
Now I’m not one of those people...

The Blogs Are Talking: Nakimuli x Time Out NY Mag
So happy this posted during Fashion Week. Back in October 2011, we shot this photo shoot naming me as one of Time Out NY’s Most Stylish New Yorkers. I always wanted to be named and when I got the email from them, I was shocked. A dream come true!
Here are a couple of pics from the shoot. Of course I am rocking Nakimuli in every look. You can see more here:

diary of a designer- day 36
So sorry that I did not update last week. It has been sooo busy around here: I got a new sewing (coverstitch) machine, and just signed a lease on my new apt. As you can see from the pic above, I have nothing but my machine in my apt. (And clothes, which were the first things I moved, of course!) On top of that, business has picked up 2000% (not sure why but I am thankful) and I have a few...
