Tasteful Holiday Sweaters!

I recently went to an "ugly sweater" party and I much enjoyed donning a tacky sweater and red tights for the holiday. But, there are ways to enjoy a good holiday sweater with out all the tacky. Holiday sweaters have been given a bad name due to the fact that most of them are tacky. Nordstrom.com has a great selection of sweaters that I would wear to a holiday party. Here is one. This is the Free People "Snow" Fair Isle Sweater. The color is just fabulous. I also love the stripes knitted in because they are very subtle while still keeping the traditional holiday sweater feel.

Sweater: Free People, Nordstrom.com, $88.00

Christmas Ornaments for the Fashion Forward

This is the picture of the supplies you need for making Christmas bow ornaments. You just need red and white ribbon. I cut mine into 19" strips. Then I tied them into bows and put ornament hooks through the back of them. Put them on the tree and Voila! you have very cute bow ornaments. Just some holiday fashion fun for you.

So here is a drawing that I did for class. I was trying to embody the 1970's punk look. I loved ripped jeans as well as v-neck shirts so this look really appeals to me. I have decided to carry some very soft v-neck tee shirts like the one in the drawing in the boutique which is now open. I realized that basics are very hard to find. It bothers me I cannot find a basic tee shirt. I am very excited to say that I will be be putting clothes online and you will be able to purchase Rum&Couture clothing at www.rumandcouture.com! I will let you know as soon as the store section is up and running.
