fashion woes this june. don't tell me what to wear, because you're wrong.
Signature pieces you MUST own!
Add an oversized tote for extra glam!
Step out in style with these beachy clogs!
A pair of oversized shades will add some luxe to that maxi dress!
i hate these words. I hate forced style, looks that try too hard.
It sounds cliche, but I miss New York.

Bravo! Bravo! June 4, 2010
I had the pleasure of being a featured designer at one of Detroit's hottest events of the year - Bravo! Bravo! this past Friday. It was really a fantastic fantastic time. Myself, along with local designers William Malcolm, Wound Menswear, Femilia Couture, House of Cedi and Joe Faris, were featured as we each auctioned off a garment to benefit the opera house.
I have to say, the event itself blew me away (the best food, drinks and entertainment I've ever see in one venue!), but the real highlight of my night was finally meeting the other designers. I kind of feel like I'm the "newb" to the scene, and they were all so welcoming and awesome, and just made me feel all fuzzy inside. My insides were ignited with the intense desire to organize some kind of crazy renegade Detroit style fashion show with these loverly human beings. I just want to work together! Like so bad. I want Detroit to stand out when it comes to fashion. We need to make it happen. And with such a great group of people who don't have their heads on backwards, it shouldn't be hard. for realz.
Below are some photos of my muse and super star model extraordinaire, miss kelly jean, wearing the dress I donated for the event. I have to do a special shout out to this super babe. I mean really, look at her. But most of all, I love to work with her because she is super tolerant back stage when it comes to dealing with the "strong personalities" ifyaknowwhatimean. <3lovefestforkellyjean<3<3<3 Aside from being a model, she's also a teacher AND an actress. View her recent appearance in a music video as the date of a guy who realizes when it's already too late, that the girl is a kung-fu master.
and some other photos taken during the event.
I'd also like to thank Rebecca Stevens, good friend of mine and editor of 944 Magazine, for recommending me for the event, AND loaning me the accessories needed to make my garment a complete look. ;)

May updates, still ticking?
I have had so much going on lately, I feel like the past few months have been a massive blur!
1. I was chosen to be one of 6 featured "top michigan designers" for the Bravo! Bravo! benefit for the Detroit Opera House. The event is on June 4th, and I designed a new dress which will be auctioned off that night. Below are some promotional photos taken by the lovely and talented Iryna Zhygalkina.
cool photos, but the one in the green chair makes me think the caption should read
"Dr. Kelly Tinsley, Alternative Psychologist, PHD." ;)
There is also apparently going to be a commercial for this event featuring myself and the other 5 designers, who are Wound Menswear, William Malcolm, Joe Faris, and Femilia Couture. We took some footage for it last week and I'm excited to see how it turned out.
Speaking of videos, I'm also going to be on television AND the internet! I'm going up to Warren City TV studios next Thursday to be a guest on "The Spotlight", which will feature an interview with me and a small fashion show featuring 6 of my looks from the Fall Collection. Woo! It will run on air for 2 weeks and then be up eternally on facebook and youtube.
I finished one of the five bridesmaids dresses I need to have finished by the 3rd of October. It was way more work than I thought it would be, mostly because I'm an insane perfectionist when it comes to my work - I just hope for my sanity the other 4 go faster and smoother.
Just two more weeks until the June issue of Styleline Magazine comes out - I'm the featured designer, and can't wait to see how the article turned out. Stop by your local Barnes and Noble or Borders Books to check it out.
