Being The Style Spook is being a stylish spy. I seek. I search. I investigate, hunting down, spying, tracking, finding the pieces that become a part of home and a well curated wardrobe. I am but a mere operative. I am a spy, pursuing passion. When not on a mission, I document, maintaining my 'cover" - La Boheme: foodie, singer/songwriter, musician, performer and costumer. I lead a double life. I have secrets...don't you? Join me on my journey into style espionage.

Let's Go For a Swim!
I took a very ugly pair of khaki pants and made them into shorts with pleats. The bathing suit is thrifted, altered and hand beaded. I made the necklace myself. Shoes thrifted and sweater shirt is thrifted Charlotte. Sunnies Vogue! I have another pair of khakis i'm modifying tomorrow and a dress to hand paint and bead. Posts coming soon!

The Wedding Alterations
Let's Start at The Very Beginning
It only seems rational, a very good place to start to update with past creations that are becoming anew. The hubby and I just celebrated two years of marital bliss and in that process my beautiful, white, ebay scored dress has undergone transformation.
So, today I will continue to change this dress. I also have a before and after of the ballet slippers from my engagement shots. Take a look at the costume I created for the prom scene in Footloose for Ariel, the lead. Sorry my scanner sucks and you can't see her head. So the dress is red now and long. Today, it will be shortened and beaded or hand painted, but I am still debating! And, the ballet slippers are much more fashion forward and wearable.
