a field of wishes

spring settles in..

leaving white puffs for one to find..

close your eyes real tight.. & make your wish..

now don't tell a soul.. or it won't come true.

keep following your dreams and working hard!  happy sunday!

a night to remember..

this morning, miriam ran over to film an interview for the 'driehaus design intitiative' 

while they were prepping for their annual fashion show competition: 

being behind the half built runway stage, it brought back a flood of memories to miriam 

when she won 3 years ago.. it was a night that set the spark for miriam cecilia!

miriam's summer storm collection on the driehuas awards for fashion excellence runway in 2009

we wish the best of luck to all the students tomorrow night.. it will be an incredible evening!

weeping willow window

bring on april! 

inspired by a new month we decided to create a new first impression..  

& this is what we came up with 'the weeping willow window'

what can we say we love alliterations..

..but what we love even more is our old & new clients stopping by to say 'hi' 

at the miriam cecilia studio.. maybe even letting us know 
what you think of our new window display!

hope you all stay dry out there today..

maybe even find a willow tree to hide underneath?

color me coral!

current obsession: customized dresses! 

we just finished this dress combination of our spring coral and our fall raspberry

you too can put your spin on any of our dresses 

just choose two color combinations

so which color combinations would you choose?

 maybe it's raspberry and grey or navy and coral? 

We would love for you to come let us know what two color combinations you're loving for spring!

P.S. It's reversible (bonus!)
