Spring Lookbook for VICIOUS THREADS by Jennie Vee

Hello. My name is Catherine and I love clothes. (I'm sure this is an extreme understatement.)

I especially adore handmade one-of-a-kind pieces and snazzy items in very small limited quantities that are feminine yet fierce, and fit like a dream! It is for ALL of these reasons that I am obsessed with Nashville based designer Jennie Vee and her appropriately named clothing line VICIOUS THREADS.



If any of you saw or remember my silver, one shoulder New Years Eve Dress that I made such a fuss about - yep, well that was designed by her! She is a rocker, blonde bombshell bassist from the band Vicious Guns and her clothing reflects both her edge and sweetness. They are very mix and matchable, making them very fun to collect and wear dressed up and down. Her spring designs have a slight vintage flair with sheer fabrics and of course a few with her trademark sweetheart collar.



I modeled for her Spring 2012 Lookbook during the beginning of March and had a fantastic time with the 9 looks total that were shot that day. Here are just a few looks from the photoshoot with Andrew Kung Photography. The rest can be seen on her website and will be available for purchase before too long!

Stay posted to VICIOUS THREADS for more unique, haute fashions and buy them up while they last! This girl has great things coming her way, so be sure to keep your ears and eyes open.

FASHION'S NIGHT OUT 2011

If everyone is only half as excited as I am, then you should be jumping up and down! The Lexington Fashion Collaborative (the same amazing group that brought us Future of Fashion) is bringing FASHION'S NIGHT OUT to Lexington!!

Now if you read the fashion bible (aka VOGUE) regularly, then you are probably familiar with this event. If not, then here is an overview: Fashion's Night Out is a global initiative in partnership with American VOGUE and the CFDA to bring together fashion retailers and all lovers of fashion to provide awareness about what your town has to offer! Stores participating in this event are usually open until 11PM! This is great because is gives people who normally would have a chance to get out during business hours, time to shop shop SHOP! What a fantastic economy booster!

DATE: Thursday September 8, 2011
TIME: 6pm - 11pm
PLACE: 903 Manchester Street, Lexington Ky 40507 (Next to Buster's)
WHAT: There will be an incredible fashion show at the Barrel House and right next store there will be a 'pop up store' featuring lots of local designers that will be open until 11pm! *Addition hours for the pop up store are Sept. 9, 10 & 16th!*


I was on ABC Channel 36 in Lexington to talk about my jewelry line MARASCHINO and FNO last week! Check it out below. Maraschino will be sold in the store during those days so be sure to come by and check it out in person and say hello!!

MARASCHINO by Catherine Jones

For my few close friends who have known me for years, they know that I have lots of passions. That isn't hard to tell for those who even just met me yesterday! But before I modeled or even did makeup or styling, I obsessively created. I owe a lot to my upbringing on a farm with a mile and a half long gravel driveway and my homeschooled education which left me constantly finding ways to entertain myself. My mom would give me old clothes to revamp into new styles (sometimes secretly my father's, much to his dismay) and my grandmother would give me scrap fabrics to keep me busy. It wasn't long before I realized that you could make just about any odd, home grown outfit look couture with the right accessories! And thus at the age of twelve I became obsessed... with jewelry.

I was that girl who sold friendship bracelets out of a shoebox on the playground for a quarter - AND took custom orders. In 2007 I created a line which catered to custom bridal orders and classy, timeless pieces that incorporated antique and vintage jewelry and parts. As it started doing well, I simultaneously began getting modeling work, and makeup artistry soon followed and thoroughly absorbed the rest of my efforts. It was a sad day when I had to put it all on hold until the time was right to relaunch - and I am SO excited!!

I like to incorporate elements of freedom and movement in most of my pieces. And of course, lots of SPARKLE! I believe in the mystery of old Hollywood glamour and that at the heart of every starlet there is silly girl who wants to have fun, be free to love, and feel beautiful. I am cheesy you say? Heck yeah I am. But it's the truth and I think that will show through. ;-)
There are so many things to come!

Stay tuned for my lookbook coming soon... weeeeee!!!!!!
