The finer things keep shining through
The way my soul gets lost in you
The finer things I feel in me
The golden dance life could be
The way my soul gets lost in you
The finer things I feel in me
The golden dance life could be
-Steve Winwood
Breathes deeply and smiles in satisfaction as I look down upon my battered nails and fingers whilst typing. The Finer Things Collection: Fall 2010 is here, and almost out there for public viewing in the great big internet universe.
"The golden dance life could be..." In short, the concept behind the collection is rooted in my love of music and movement. The pieces are all rich in texture; woven like the twisted limbs of dancers glistening under the flickering brilliance of strobe lights, spot lights, the night sky- my mind's eye.
I don't accessorize much, I do however, have a stash of wardrobe staples; most of which are my own designs, some fellow artists' created finds, and a few vintage pieces thrown in for good measure. That's actually good blog fodder, I'll have to photograph my stash and share. With the new collection, I wanted to incorporate the versatility that makes staples staples, with the charm and character of vintage, then bring them to date and infuse them with movement.

All of the designs were created in very limited quantities with only 2-5 editions each. True to my original mission, all of the pieces are reasonably priced and no animal products or "by-products" were used in the creative process. The Finer Things Collection:Fall 2010 by T. Allen-Mercado for Pretty in Peace is available 7.31.10 on Big Cartel.
Peace and pretties
