Audrey



                 Hello my pets! I'm back!!! Sorry it's been a while since I posted anything up here but, this it's been a busy month and so therefore I apologize.This is my latest creation, this is princess Audrey just kidding. She is not a princess but the concept is there. I'll stop talking away and just cut to the chase. So lets get started.


    As I said in the paragraph above, this is Audrey. Audrey is the queen of butterflies, in my mind she is. This dress is very over the top and really out there. I created a mesh top for a more glamorous feel I wanted Audrey to be very grand and out there. on the shoulders there's some bead work because rinestones are very dramatic and attract alot of attention. I wanted a very renissance/ baroque look to her so I gave her a little corset on the top with again a dramtic detail to her. I also gave Audrey a big ball gown cause I want her to look very queen like. Then theres the butterflies I love love love butterflies so I thought it would be fun to add some butterflies to look almost as if they were flying all around the dress. And once again what would my blog be without the great lesson and piece of wisdom that I have to offer. I wanted to use the color orange to associate it with joy. What's life without a pinch of joy. If you don't love your life you can't live your life the way you want to. You end up in a pit of unhappiness and I know that when you are having a hard time its hard to find happiness and go on with your life without being unhappy but we must always be greatful for all the good times that we have and be greatful for the people we have in our lives because in a split second their gone. Just sit and take the moment and just enjoy yourself and be happy and just carry on with your life. You are blessed even when you have nothing you are still blessed because you may have something that someone else doesn't have.


        So I will leave you with some words by Dan Coppersmith "Be yourself. If you water yourself down to please people or to fit in or not to offend anyone, you lose the power, the passion, the freedom and the joy of being uniquely you. It's much easier to love yourself when you are being yourself." Be you boo. Do what makes you happy. Endulge yourself with passions. Most importantly don't let anyone take away your joy and happiness.

Lilian





               Well Hello again! This is Lilian and she is what I like to call the ballerina dress. This dress is what my heart were to look like if it exploded. Lilian is short sassy and fun. I'm obsessed with this mauve purple. I love how unique and spontaneous Lilian is, and I just ran with what came to my mind.

          I was inspired by ballet. When you see the beautiful ballets you see not only the beautiful scenery you also see the beautiful head turning costumes. Over the years since ballet was introduced the costumes have evolved from long tutus which covered the knees to shorter and shorter skirts so the ballerinas could show off their fancy foot work. I was inspired by the short  length tutu's because I thought it was beautiful and unique, plus, short dresses are now in trend as well as the tutu skirt. I can't tell you how many times I wanted to by a gorgeous tutu skirt at the stores because the whole ballerina look is whats hot now. Ballet has inspired many fashion designers from the bead work, to the tulle skirt, and the traditional ballet flat that has never gone out of trend. Ballet fashion is it this year and will always be a fashion statement for years to go on. I gave Lilian a beaded bodice because when you think of a ballerina costume you think of the glitz and glamour. remember dimonds are a girls  best friend ! This dress would look amazing on any woman who wears it. It will make you feel trendy and feminine. I used the mauve color for this dress because I wanted something different, I wanted to go a different direction in fashion. I wanted to bring the lilacs and the mauves and the plum purples back. Not that they ever left but I felt like I wanted to see more of it.

         A little old saying goes, "Dancing is an art. The floor is my canvas. And I am the brush. And whatever I create comes from the heart." I use my work in mulitple different ways and I allow my pieces to be influenced by everything around me. Like dancing this is my art and it truely comes from the heart. Let your heart take you in the direction that you were meant to be, let your heart guide you to what inspires you and gives you brilliant ideas. Dancing isn't the only art, art is in everything your heart desires. Let your heart explode and let your creations and passions come from within. Do what makes you happy and you will live a happy life.

Scarlette




               Hello! introducing Scarlette! She's my first wedding dress design ever. I know you wouldn't think so because of the color but I wanted something different, cool, and out there. When it comes to my little pretty dresses I'm all about my drama. I might even want my own future dress to have a pinch of drama. Anyways enough about me let's get on with talking about the dress. 

          Scarlette was inspired by my beautiful cousin Meagan. Meagan is getting married next year and I took it upon myself to design a dress for her. No this isn't her actual wedding dress but I got inspired by her and her fashion style and the idea that she is getting married. Since I started doing this dresss I also started designing more and more wedding dresses and who knows maybe one day we'll actually see it on a bride someday. Scarlette is a little conservative because my cousin Meagan's style is exactly that, ever since she's become a mom she choose a more conservative style which is why I gave Scarlette some long sleeves. I didn't make it too conservative though because I gave her a sexy mesh top because Meagan is still very young so I didn't want to hide any of her features. On Scarlette's sleeves there are random lace pieces on the outter parts of the sleeves because I also wanted her to be very danity as well. The top of dress also contains a  flower design so Scarlette can have a girly feel to her since Meagan's style is girly. I  added a brown belt with beading throught the belt because I liked the way neautrals looked on this dress I thought it was very complementary and neutrals tend to look good on every woman. Meagan is always a little more bold with her clothes so I decided to give her a big tulle ball gown with  a Tiffany blue color and beaded detail on the top of the skirt because it's all about the bling and who doesn't like the bling? I also decided to go with a Tiffany blue because I tried to tie in the idea of Tiffany's jewlery from one of my favorite movies ever Breakfast at Tiffany's where the main idea of the movie is all about new love. I really wanted to relate Scarlette with the idea of love because when you think about weddings it's about love, and family and I really wanted to make that a relation to my dresses. The idea of love and happiness is the whole reason why I started designing wedding dresses because I would want that for all of the future gal's who wear my dresses to be happy and feel beautiful on a special day where it's all about love. 

So here's to all my wives, brides, and brides to be may your special day be perfect and remember, "Love is friendship that has caught on fire" Anonymous. Let the love and passion keep growing in your relationship and I hope your blessed with a beautiful life now and forever. 
Dedicated to Meagan Rodriguez.
See you all Tomorrow.
