my inspiration, my fashion icon : my [ama]

My Grandmother [Josephine Susini] has been the biggest fashion influence in my life. I remember playing dress up in her clothes as a child, and now as an adult, I still do! My sisters and cousins aren't too happy that she gave me all of her amazing dresses... but I think they should understand why. They have been the core foundation of my fashion existence. I love and respect them not just as clothing, but as pieces of art, pieces of history... and the love of my ama. They hang in a special corner of my closet, and sometimes on the wall as art... they inspire me, bring me joy and add a piece of history to my collection. One day I hope to pass them down to my daughter, or granddaughter... and tell the tale of the woman who molded me in so many ways...

She is pictured above [quite the risqué woman for her time - model and worked for Frank Sinatra, not to brag or anything] and beside her is my tribute photo to her. Once I dig up some more old photos I will post them just so you can see how breathtaking she was, and will always be.

Some girls like to sit around and gossip, we like to smash eggs on each other.
