New Stuff :)

Let me know what you guys think!

Yo! I can't believe its already May 24th! June is almost here & summer is fast approaching. And I know that you guys know what that means, summer bathing suits! I've made two new bathing suits for this summer with more to come. I've always wanted a really nice one piece so I decided to make one. Its a great alternative to the traditional bikini & looks just as sexy. The second is a tradition bikini with an ethnic print for the bottom. I've never really been a fan of bathing suits that exactly match on the top & bottom so be expecting the other ones to come from me mismatch too :) Bandeaus never fail for summer so I have a great cheetah print gray one too. And if you haven't already noticed denim anything (that's not jeans) is a must have for this season. I made this acid wash denim messenger bag with an 80's feel from a great pair of suuuuuper high waist jeans I got from a thrift store. Messenger bags have become my favorites in these last few months. They're way more carefree to me. I've been reading about a lot of independent designers based in New York who make everything from their line from already worn clothes. Which I thought was a great idea & my inspiration behind the messenger bag. Besides the fact that it makes every item you create with its own uniqueness (which is the main focus of the YO SHANK! line) Its also way better for the environment. So I decided to try & do that with the majority of the things from my line from now on. Let me know what you guys think!

Yo! I'm back! And with some new stuff for Spring/Summer. Maxi skrits & dresses are forecasted to become really must have pieces for this year. Personally, I despised maxi dresses & skirts, I felt like the long length made them grandma style. But then I began to notice all the maxi skirts & dresses that I've been seeing in magazines & on the shelves of stores are all one color, usually black. And me being the print loving girl that I am I wondered if maybe I wasn't so fond of the new maxi trend is because it had such a blan one color scheme. I decided to whip up some maxi shirts with prints and styles I was fond of and ended up really loving them. So take a look & let me know what you guys think.I also made a male version of the Striped Distressed Tank I made for females a few weeks back and a ruffled beige tube dress since nuetrals are really in right now (thought I've always been a fan of a good nuetral piece). A tube dress like this is very versitile & thats exactly why I love it so much. It can be paired with a cardigan & boots with tights too or with sandals. There's endless possibilities. I'm sure you guys have been wondering what happened with the promo video I had shot & where its been. Well there's been a bit of delay in the editting of it but as soon as it all done I'll have it up here for you guys!
