Diary of a Fashion Designer 2

Wow, it has been a roller coaster literally, I am super happy that I have been doing custom designs for friends & family. So let’s talk about custom design. What is a custom design? A custom design is unique, special design, one of a kind, and it is meant to fit you perfectly, and often times it is a design concept that you already have in mind. As a designer it is my duty to give you some advice and suggestions to make it flattering for you. It’s a process, takes several steps, from measurements, to sketches along with fabric swatches, drafting the pattern, creating muslin, trying out the muslin for fit and adjustments. Last but not least the final product has to be perfect & has to FIT!! This is my moment of truth!!!! I am nervous, I am scared lots of questions running through my mind but then all of a sudden it fits, yes it fits perfect!!! The feeling is amazing to know that both your vision and their vision came to life. That they are happy with what you made that they twirl around, dance, or jump, in their dress. The excitement in their faces is PRICELESS!!! At that moment I know that all my hard work and passion paid off and that I made that person happy. However it’s not over because you can’t wait to see the complete look the day of their event. This is where I ask for PICTURES Please!!! I am anxious to see, I wait patiently, and then finally I get pictures that are worth a thousand words. Custom designs remind me of why I wanted to be a fashion designer, it might be a process, but the reward is worth it!!!!

Boxy Charm/February Unboxing+Review

It's BoxyMail Time, this month's theme is Galaxy Glow. It is definitely giving me all the Space Jams vibes. If you aren't familiar with BOXYCHARM it is a beauty subscription for $21 a month. Usually you get 5-6 full size products! Based on the theme I thought that the products were going to be vibrant, glowy, or have a neon effect. There were so many variations on their IG that I was not sure if I was going to like this month's box. The five items that were included in my box were a highlighter palette, shimmer veil, eye pencil, glitter, and trio brush set.  (Disclaimer: this review is NOT sponsored by BOXYCHARM, I bought this with my own money, all opinions are mine.

Women's Watches: Where to Shop for Unique Timepieces

Tick tock, tick tock. Time is slowly creeping up and I'm making sure to make the most out of it. As a mommy of two, I stop and stare at my two beautiful daughters I began to reminisce on the day they were both born. Oh such tiny little babies they were and all I can think is poof they've grown in a blink of an eye. I am soaking up every moment and making memories with them because I want them to always remember all the good TIMES we've experienced. Thanks to JORD on my wrist, it is a daily reminder to cherish my precious time. JORD is based in St. Louis. They design sophisticated watches with mix of natural, and largely re-claimed materials, combined with quality movements and components. JORD are best known for their unique hand crafted wooden watches. I consider myself minimalistic when it comes to watches. When I saw THE CASSIA it caught my attention because I knew it was perfect for me! It is thoughtfully styled with a Scandinavian design in mind. The band is
