I love a GOOD SUIT, and when I see photographs of myself in a jacket that doesn't FIT me quite right or the SLEEVES are too long, it drives me INSANE.

I like to accessorise shirts with a little ribbon tied round my collar or a COUNTRY style ascot. I've also sewed little hearts on some of my SLEEVES which I've DONE for years because I ALWAYS wear my heart on my sleeve so if you see a little embroidered heart on my CLOTHES, that's why!

I am KNOWN to WEAR my HEART on my SLEEVES.

I was lucky ENOUGH to create my own dress, deciding on every single DESIGN detail. But, even if you don't have a custom dress, you can still create a signature wedding-day LOOK with personalization - a belt, altering the sleeves, etc. But, when creating your bridal style, the most IMPORTANT thing to remember is to make it feel like you.

For my first JOB interview out of college, I wore a cream-colored cotton suit with cap sleeves and an inverted box pleat skirt that was APPROPRIATE for the late-August heat - and wildly discordant with the RED Hook offices of the graffiti MAGAZINE I had called twice to FIND.

McCarthyism is AMERICANISM with its SLEEVES rolled.
