Interview with Amanda Rife
Many of you may remember that during NYFW last month I attended Sheila Frank's presentation and after party. While at the after party I met designer and artist Amanda Rife. I was very impressed when she told me that she actually made the scarves used in Sheila's show. I also thought it was really fun to know that she too is from central Pennsylvania. Such a sweet girl (we chatted all night), I told her I had to do an interview with her! :-)
Snapshot Fashion: Recently your scarves made their NYFW debut in Sheila Frank's show. How did you meet Sheila? How did the idea of using your scarves in her show come about?
Amanda Rife: I actually met Sheila while shopping for a bikini last summer. She was working in the store where I was looking for one and helped give me a final opinion on the bikini I was trying on and ended up buying. So for a while, she was just an acquaintance. I had absolutely no idea the magnitude of her talent in clothing design until she asked me for help on another project. From there we began talking and divulging our creative outlets and she mentioned to me that she needed to find someone who makes scarves. I told her that I had made them before so I made her a prototype to see if it was what she was looking for, and the rest unfolded from there.
SF: About how long does it take you to make one of you scarves?
AR: It usually only takes me a few days to make a scarf. I work on them when I want to relax but still do something creative. I’ve been making them for so long that it’s almost second nature, so I really enjoy the calming effect it has on me.
SF: When did you learn how to make scarves? Did someone teach you?
AR: I was always fascinated with knitting. I used to come home from elementary school, when my Sicilian great grandmother lived with us, and she’d always be watching her soaps, knitting, with a picture of Patrick Swayze next to her rocking chair. Ha! That image has always stuck with me and I was always intrigued as to how she made such beautiful afghans. When I went away to college, I decided to finally try and teach myself but couldn’t fully grasp it. So I asked my grandma, since my great grandmother had long since passed, and after watching her once, I picked it right up. That was 5 years ago and I’ve been knitting ever since.
See the rest of Snapshot Fashion's interview with Amanda (including more images and pricing) after the jump.

My Style
So after debuting My Style this past weekend it looks as though my readers love this idea. Thanks so much for everyone that wrote in to let me know what they thought of it. Looks like My Style is here to stay!
I wore this outfit yesterday to work. I felt like dressing up because I wasn't feeling 100%. Do you ever do that? Sometimes I feel as though if I dress nice that it will boost my mood a bit. Well, it didn't work. I'm home sick today. :-(

cardigan: Kohl's
lace trim tank top: American Eagle Outfitters

Rocko always knows how to make me laugh even when I'm not feeling that great.
The one thing I love about this skirt is the POCKETS! I *love* pockets in skirts and dresses!!!
Okay, off to bed I go. Hopefully when I wake up later on I won't have aches all over my body, and my fever will be gone. *FINGERS CROSSED!!!*
