The thought of having to design Holiday decorations was a bit scary for me, I have to admit. I wanted to design a décor that is not the same old boring red and green you see year after year, yet it should some how be traditional. I was perplexed, so I began to rummage through decorations of the past. I found a box of traditional Christmas bulbs used for decorating trees and garland and began playing with some of my favorite trims. The trims I found work best include; all sorts of fringe from glass to leather, sequins, pleated ribbons, and cording. The results are well, interesting. I think the looks are funky and fun and with our Black Friday Sale on November 27th at www.MJTRM.com, I hope they inspire you to try something different.

I was very thrilled when M&J recently began carrying feather patches. We have been having a lot of fun with them creating all types of accessories that fit right in with this season’s hot trend. So, you can only imagine my excitement when I discovered the new much larger version, a 20” x 15” feather mat (style #43361-Brown/Green Iris) available by calling 1-800-9-mjtrim. I thought this would look great on a throw pillow, and since I am currently looking to change the look of my apartment this came in just the nick of time. Throw pillows make a great accent in any room. By mixing colors and textures you can liven up the place and create a new ambiance with out the expense of purchasing new furniture or the timely chore of painting.
While today is a day of celebration for Cinco de Mayo, it also marks the 12th year since the old M&J Trimming showroom in NYC caught on fire. In 1997, M&J Trimming’s showroom was less than 1,000 square foot yet was still a favorite destination for designers and all crafters alike.
Dreams did not end with the fire on May 5, 1997. Instead, M&J Trimming built a newer and larger showroom. This brought great hope for designers in the area, especially with the fashion district only a few feet away from the showroom.
Twelve years later and M&J Trimming continues to stand strong and offer designers a wide variety of fabric trimmings from around the globe. This popular destination has also become a favorite to celebrities who often stop by like Beyonce Knowles, Lady Ga Ga, Andre 2000, TI, Sex and the City celebrity, Sarah Jessica Parker, Cynthia Nixon, Popular Project Runway host, Heidi Klum, Christian Siriano and more.

Today embellishing is seen everywhere, from necklines to ankles. It’s a great way to add color and a little flash to an everyday piece. I was really inspired by John Hardy’s new bamboo and sterling silver cuffs. Since I am not an expert jewelry crafter, I figured a leather cuff would be a great way to get the look.

Earlier this month Chanel presented the Fall 2009 collection at Paris Fashion week. Lagerfeld stayed true to many design elements that are so classically Chanel, while adding his own soft touch. The Chanel runway exhibited an array of ruffled collars, sweet pleats, and cuff treatments. The embellished cuff really stood out to me, and I realized that this would be easy to incorporate this look into my own closet using an old shrunken jacket.
