Adalyn

Well Hello! Say howdy to Miss Adalyn. Looking at her is like magic to my eyes. I am captured and taken to a whole other world. I will use one word to describe this dress and it is ENCHANTED. 

Let's jump into the inspiration of Adalyn. I was inspired by the the forest, I wanted to create a dress fit for a woodland princess which is why I used a forest green and some browns to cover the entire skirt. The top of the dress is a sweetheart neckline with rinestones that turn into an ombre effect that go from forest green to a brown. I wanted to add a magical touch to Adalyn therefore she was given a rinestone top with ombre to create the illusion that the dress is changing colors. The bottom is full of tulle of forest greens and browns. I did this because I wanted it to look like different colors once you moved around. This also took inspiration from the Cinderella movie 2015, because I was so in love with the way the gown took another color from the blue tulle to this greenish blue underneth as if it had some green silver undertones to the dress and I was obsessed with it after I saw the movie a million times. So I wanted Adalyn's skirt to have the same effect that Cinderella's dress had. I wanted to add rinestones scattered around the dress to give Adalyn a magical glow to her,  I wanted it to look natural as well because she is the woodland princess. I was also inspired by nature because I think nature is so beautiful and we can create something so amazing using earth's natural creations. I also wanted to use the woods because I know that some fairytales take place in the woods like snow white. The woods represents myth's and old folk tales. Once again I wanted the Enchanted feeling to it because I'm all about things enchanted. I wanted to take you to a different world today, I wanted to take you to the heart of my imagination. I wanted to take you to a place where there is mystery, magic, secret realtionships, love, belief, spirit, green meadows, intoxicating aroma's, branches full of mythical creatures like woodland fairies, lakes swamped with mermaids, colorful berries, and a haunting need to escape reality, and fall into fantasy were anything is impossiable. Whenever I feel down or whenever I feel like I'm having a bad day of some sort I feel the need to escape to my enchanted world in my mind which I go to whenever I begin drawing some sort of art work or some sort of dress because I live there whenever I get into my creative side. We live in reality but art takes us to another world in which we live in for a time being. 

I will leave you with one final piece of advice today and that is you can control your own fate. So therefore, your reality is your choice, if you want to live in a fantasy world live in it, if you want to deal with reality  deal with it, but if you want to make your fanstsy a reality go for it. Your fate is in your hands and nobody should be allowed to tell you how your fate end up. Have an enchanted day, hope you had an amazing Thanksgiving. Ps. I will be giving you a little piece of my peacan pie next weekend because I will be giving you two desserts(dresses) on Friday and Saturday so I will be working extra hard on my next two blogs next week. Bye, Bye. 

Hailey

         
             
                 Say HELLO to Hailey. Hailey was designed to be very Sexy. I wanted to give this dress a very sultry look. I think she is stunning and glamourous. Anyway continue reading below to see exactly what insipred me to draw up Hailey.

         "La inspiracion existe, pero tiene que encontrate trabajando."- Pablo Picasso. I was influenced and inspired by my hispanic roots. Once again my culture  and family was the inspiration for my work. I always throught that Hispanic fashion was very sexy and beautiful. I was inspired by the Flamenco dancers because they always have such beautiful red flowers in their hair. I love that this dance uses flowers like the red rose to represent love. I believe love is so powerful that it can change everything and leads to great memories and paths. As a hispanic I know that we are very family oriented. Family is very important to us and how you represent your family is also important. Family is the source of love, because two people fell in love there is more love to spread around. I come from a very large family, I have 6 aunts on my moms side, and 11 aunts and uncles on my dads side. I have a total of 36 cousins not including the 6 great grandkids(second cousins). All of us are very close and visit each other on a daily basis. So it's odd if we all didn't see each other for years. This is why I incorperated the orange rose because to me it reminds me of the love I have for my very large family. I also loved the fact that flamenco dancing is like another form of ballet, and I thought i could relate. Ballet costumes are supposed to be very tight fitted to give off that put together feel of it, which is why I decided to make the dress very tight fitted to create the illusion that it's perfect and in place. Flamenco costuming contians frilly voluminous ruffles and I thought Hailey should be given that to add on the flamenco look. I also added web like rinestones all around the dance to capture the drama. I wanted to again use the gold color throught the dress to make it my own, and stray away from the orignal red flameco dress, I also believe that gold represents joy, richness, intellect, and energy. I wanted it to represent the joy of life and that we should celebrate it with family. I wanted the dress to represnt richness because we are rich with love. I also wanted it to represent intellect and energy because my grandpa always pushed the idea of a good education and good energy. As I said earlier family is love and family is very important, and to say the least we have joy, richness, intellect and good energy. When I was drawing Hailey I thought of my family members and every aspect that was put into this dress was inspired by them, I was brought joy by my grandparents who have given me a great and memorable childhood. I was wealthy with unconditional love by my parents, who taught me that money isn't everything and you should creish everything that is given to you no matter what. I was inpsired by the intellect of my cousins because they showed me that hard work pays off if you keep on going. And well the good energy is brought whenever I am around all these crazy people under one roof.

      A spainsh saying goes, " A mal tiempo, buena cara." this means in bad times, hold your head up high. Look to your family and know that you can get through tough times together. Lift each other up with good spirits, and if you fail don't be dissappointed just keep going. Even though this summer we lost my beloved grandpa we are constantly lifting each other up and we keep going knowing he's up in the heavens watching our greatest accomplishments. So I say to you my dear readers appreciate your family and your family values before it's all gone.

Ariana

                 Today's star of the show is miss Ariana. What I love most about this dress is the color! This is my favorite color ever, pink! Not only is it just a pink it's cotton candy pink. Theres something so sweet about this color that just makes the dress adorable. I find this dress is along the dainty side. I named her Ariana because I felt like it was a very cute and feminine name, and feminine is exactly what this dress is about,

              Ariana was inspired by the color pink. The whole dress revolved around this particular color because I was going for the softer look. I was also inspired by what the color pink represents. For one it represents friendship and I believe that friendships are important because they bring out that happiness inflicted upon us. Since pink represented friendships I thought of flowers and how they grow together in harmony, and in a way friendships are like flowers. You grow with your friends and then years go by and you have shared memories, then when your not looking you become a family. Thats why I placed flowers on the dress because of what the flowers represented to me. Pink also represents affection, and I drew a string of pearls on the top of the dress to give the idea that when your in love or in a strong friendship with someone you are strung together like a string of pearls. I gave Ariana a big ball gown because I felt like it was approachabe and pleasing to the eye. I added layers to the dress to give her a sweeter look. Ariana is like a giant cupcake she's sweet looking and it is always known for being cute and adorable. Ariana was styled in a girly way because pink is the offical color for girls and it represents the sugar and spice and everything nice. Kind of like being a power puff girl. This dress was inspired by girl power. Girls are supposed to be soft and sweet , nuturing , loving, and compassionate, I wanted Ariana to represent that. I feel like as women we are supposed to be empowering and strong in a feminine way. I'm not saying go be a girly girl I'm saying we should be strong and caring and do things through kindness. We should always be role models for other girls and inspire others to be kind and do great things. I think society now and days is always telling young girls, you need to be sexy to get a man's attention. However, I feel like we should be telling young girls that they're beautiful no matter what they look like and that they don't need to dress so skimpy to get attention. Why can't we reinforce the idea of intelligence, strength, and inner beauty? Why is society establishing small ideas into womens heads? Why are women always looked at as weak and fragile creatures? I say the hell with that idea. Ladies, you are smart, beautiful, and you can do whatever you want. You don't need to be sexy to turn heads, try being sexy smart. Don't let others control your idea of what you think is beautiful. If your friends have a small self-esteem use that girl power and tell them that society is ugly and she's beautiful, sexy, smart, and she has the power to do anything if she puts her mind to it. Spread the world and change lives. Be the pink ribbon in someone elses bow.

        Anonymous says "Family isn't always blood. It's the people in your life who want you in theirs. The ones who accept you for who you are. The ones who would do anything to see you smile and who love you no matter what." Love comes in all different packages. You shouldn't have to change yourself for anyone and always remember you are beautiful no matter what. I deicate this post to my bestfriends, my second family, and the loves of my life Ernie Cavasos, and Ana Laura Ramon.

Avery

        Avery is one of my most glamorous designs ever. I see her on a red carpet or parading around at a prom. I named this dress Avery because it seems to me like a name for an insanely beautiful girl. I picture her as the heada turner. The dress is so stunning, I feel like it has the power to make people look twice at her remarkable beauty. I am so proud of this dress as well as my Selena dress because I love how detailed she is and she really captured my vision and what I was going for. Avery is truely special to me I love everything about her.

     Avery is inspired by old Hollywood, and by the old Hollywood actors who took glamour to the next level and are still the fashion icons for sexiness and glamour. I give Avery a mermaid style dress because I wanted a simple elegence to her. I was inspired once again by Marilyn Monroe, because he style is striking without being over the top, she could take simplicity to a whole other level. Marilyn also loved to expose her curves so I knew a tight fitted dress would be best for that old Hollywood style. I added sequins throughout the entire dress with pearl over the shoulder sleeves because I was inspired by Elizabeth Taylor's dramatic style, nothing was ever to bold for Elizabeth Taylor. I was inspired by Audrey Hepburn's sweet and soft style and what's sweeter than roses added lightly around the dress. I added a sweetheart neckline because it is timeless and never goes out style much like Grace Kelly's style.I was inspired by the old Hollywood style because it was so sophisticated and feminine. I always liked that style because it's so  classsic and I always try to incorperate that trend into my own style and my designs because it never goes out of style. I also adore the old Hollywood style because it highlights every woman's style and it's so relatable to the average woman. Old Hollywood was all about enhancing each womans' best features and individal style. I think it is so important to have a style that is so uniquely yours and shows off your best self. Style is all about being yourself and choosing clothing that is going to make you feel good. For instance I love wearing a dark lip you will never find me wearing some danity nude lip because I love my lips so I want to enhance them and show them off so I tend to go for bolder colors. Lately I've been wearing the vampy lip and I think it makes me look sultry and for the first time in my life, sexy. However, I have been told that it looks ugly because it's so dark and gothic. I won't stop wearing it though just because of someone else's opinion because it's my best self. My dark lips are my trade mark I love to wear it because it makes me feel beautiful and I don't want to hide myself because I am not confident on how I look. Bottom line, opinions shouldn't matter because everyone has a different one and at the end of the day the only one that matters is your own. Do what makes you happy. If Marilyn Monroe listened to what people thought of her do you think she'd be a big star? No she wouldn't she always did what she wanted which makes her classic and unique. This dress is all about best features. Don't feel like you have to be insecure and can't pull certian things off, I say pick your favorite feature and show it off!

   Marilyn Monroe once said "We should all start to live before we get too old. Fear is stupid. So are regrets." So I tell you readers, live for today, love like there is no tomorrow, be bold, and don't ever be afraid of anyones opinion of you. You live for yourself and nobody else. Don't ever second guess your life, goals, or dreams. You will regret it if you don't take opportunities that are given to you, or if you let anyone stop you from achieving your life long goals. Be yourself and live a little take chances. It's all about the big gamble my friends.
