A Sneak Peak at Spring

Below are some images from my upcoming spring collection- get excited! In the meantime, shop the sale here

Life Aquatic

I've been trying to take work outside with me as much as I possibly can to enjoy the beautiful weather. New York in the summertime is the best! Living near the East River makes it really easy to take advantage of all the parks, piers, ferries, etc. that make for mini "vacations" from work (although my version of "work" should also be in quotations haha!)

Here are some images from the past week or two- shark jaws that I found at the beach in Ft. Tilden, boats at the South Street Seaport where Esao did a sketch of me reading the new NYLON, a sneak peak from a photoshoot last weekend by a creek in NJ, a wholesale order sent to Summer Studio in Avalon, NJ, and an Aqua Bandeau Set that can be purchased here.

Hope everyone else is enjoying the start of summer!

A Little Inspiration

Here we have some images of what has been referred to as my "Tumblr on my wall" haha. I'm a very tactile person- I need to be able to hold the images and see them displayed together to make sense of the whole.

The third image is part of my textile design process- I love drawing by hand, but this image has been scanned, color corrected, and tiled into a repeat in photoshop. The finished pieces are near to completion, so there will be more photos later.

The last image is part of the inspiration behind my new collection to be presented this summer at The Lingerie Journal Designer Showcase. One of the strangest plants of the desert, the Night-blooming Cereus is a member of the Cactus Family that resembles nothing more than a dead bush most of the year. It is rarely seen in the wild because of its inconspicuousness. But for one midsummer's night each year, its exquisitely scented flower opens as night falls, then closes forever with the first rays of the morning sun.

Memorial Day

I'm spending my Memorial Day sketching out new ideas and working on my textiles and color scheme for the new collection, but also taking a moment to enjoy the beautiful weather! Stay tuned for more sneak previews....

Highlights from AZ

I was away in AZ this month where I discovered what life is like in the desert- cactus, caves, quails, snakes, scorpions, hiking in platforms, donkeys hee-hawing in the middle of the night, hoarders, confederate flags/insane clown posse banners, gun stores, more stars than I knew existed, amazing mexican food, and of course, the best thrift shopping ever! Here are a few highlights...

New Logo

Garter Belt+Clara Bow+Paper Moon= the new Clare Bare logo designed by my amazing Esao Andrews.

Swimwear

I'm offering a few swimwear separates for spring that I'm very excited about- check out my etsy site and clarebare.com for these pieces later this week, but for now here is your sneak preview!

I'm in Love

Love this new set by Huit! Just had to share my thoughts!

What I'm Wearing

Just splurged and bought myself some awesome new bras, and for some reason they are all blue! I get carried away with color sometimes! This is the Lure or Be Lured Bra by Elle Macpherson Intimates. I just purchased it from Lille Boutique. I love the straps!

This is another by Elle Macpherson- she makes the best basics! I purchased this "Hula Hoops" set for a friend's lingerie shower and went back to Journelle and bought it for myself!

And last but not least, the best bra in the entire world! I want it in every color! Everyone always raves about the Timpa Duet bra, so I had to try it. I honestly never want to take it off. I also bought this one at Journelle.

And now, back to sewing thousands of Valentine's orders!
