Esperanza

          Hey guys! Introducing Esperanza. She is my favorite dress in the poisoned collection. There is something so magical and inspirational about this dress that I'm in love with. Without futher ado let's get started.
           
         I was inspired by the Mardi Gras concept. I used the purple, green and gold colors in my favor. I was also playing with the renissance slash baroque look with the bodice by making it look almost like a corset. In 1718 New Orleans established these elegant society balls that became Mardi Gras. I wanted to capture some sort of elegance and class into Esperanza. By the late 1830's masks were brought into the beloved tradition. I know I didn't create a mask or thing like that but I love a good secret disguise. Going off topic if I could I would love to attend a masqarade ball. Who wouldn't right? However this is what I Pictured in my head if I were to attend such an event. I feel like it's such a jaw dropping dress that is perfect for something grand and elegant. In the 16th century corsets were a form of fashion that was a trend at the time. Women back in the day loved to wear corsets as outer wear because they flattered their body. It gave women the illusion of accentuating their tiny waist and pushing up their chest. When I think of something grand and elegant I pictured a 16th century bodice it's fun for this time. If I could go back in time and collect notes on fashion trends and marry them in different ways I would. I love tulle, a lot of my dresses incorperated tulle. I feel like it's the old ballerina in me who just loves tulle. It's just so girly and fun and truely dazzling. I wanted to ass some fun to Esperanza because if where going to a masked ball we are going to have fun. I added a fun little pattern with the beads to the top of the dress to give it something a little extra. We want to sparkle and shine and be the Belle of the ball. In Spanish Esperanza means to hope or desire something. I wanted this to be the name of the dress because it screamed desire to me, just picture cinderella she went to the ball in desires of one free night away from being her stepmothers slave. Everyone wants something out of life we all aspire to gain something where ever we go. We all have hope. I desire a degree and a job. I aspire for this because my biggest wish is to own a big beautiful home. I want a place of my own where I can go to and create memories. With little hope I will get it someday.

     "At the end of the day, all you need is hope and strength.Hope that it will get better, and strength to hold on until it does." So readers I hope you all have hope in your someday or  your maybes. Never lose your strength or your hopes and dreams. I really hope you get that nice car someday, or live in a serene place. I hope you make a difference in someone's life. I hope you get reconized as talented because yout are. I hope you get those kids you want someday.And I hope you age gracefully. My wish is that you get it all.

Danii Lynn

               

          Hey my beautiful people! I'm back and better than ever! Introducing Danii Lynn. Yes it's named after yours truely... how obnoxious. lol. I wanted to name her Danii Lynn because I was in love with this dress when I drew her into paper. So when I'm in love with a certain dress as in I eat, sleep, and dream that certain dress then you know I'm obsessed.....This is also introducing my new collection Poisoned. I named it poisoned because the name just smacked me in the face. I wanted something werid and different, and twisted. The concept of being poisoned is to murder. I know it's a dark idea but I'm murdering my old life. I'm changing it and a piece of me is already gone. I also wanted something wicked I thought of the story of snow white and she was poisoned by the wicked witch. It was so evil and I thought hey what a great different idea to fashion, let's do something that's different, something that's bad! I'm obsessed with the blacks, the plums, and the reds. Don't get it wrong a lot of these dresses are sweet as apple pie. But trust me all the wicked, poisoned dresses are coming up next week, if I'm lucky I'll introduce to you Ernie, and it's damn sexy. I'm just trying to do something different and out there with my designs. Sooo without further ado here is Danii Lynn.

    This mommas baby! Danii Lynn and she was inspired by nature, and oddly enough branches on a fall afternoon. I started with a sweet, yet seductive sweet heart neckline. You know my weakness already. I gave Danii Lynn some decorative beading at the top of the dress for some sparkle and shine. I thought it would make the dress pop out more. I did the same at the waist line to compliment any woman's waistline. I created a cool funky pattern at the bodice because I was inspired by the whole demask print, because I adore the print, it's like the next zebra print for me. I wanted a pop of red for her because it's such a bold color. That's what I really wanted for this collection, I wanted something bold to stand out above the rest... Think of a disney villan they're never subtle or non flashy. I know everyone wants to be a disney princess but lets face it we end up becoming the villians instead we can't help but become whats second nature to us... lol. I added curly waves coming out from the top of the skirt because I thought of droopy branches it was almost haunting. Danii Lynn haunted my every dreams in a sense that I couldn't get her out of my brain. I'm in love with roses so I added some to the skirt with the "branches" underneth. In a way I could of been thinking about beauty and the beast on this one, or just roses in general, however, it's classic and iconic hence it goes. Lastly I added what I always add for extra glam... rinestones for the entire dress. I know I colored her yellow but I feel like I would of made her gold if I were to recreate Danii Lynn. I'm not to crazy for yellow. Yes
yellow is fun and bright but I gag... I just don't do yellow. Don't ask why nobody quite knows the reason. This dress is Me guys. It's charming in it's very own way, different, unique, and a little bit classically romantic. I feel like this dress represents me in a way that I went to my sktech book to quiet down my own thoughts. I struggle with myself sometimes that I go to my designs for sanity. I believe that we shouldn't destory ourselves but rather what is eating us on the inside. As someome who  has severe anxiety I cope with myself in a way where I put it all into my art. I find strength within myself when I'm doing something creative with my life. I find it so hard to quiet all the noise that goes on inside my head, but I'll end up picking up a pencil and drawing. One time I even woke up at 5am to draw a dress because I was anxious over something random and I started thinking of a dress in my head, I even woke up at 3am the next day to draw a dress I dreamed about. They always say it's better to work on something creative at night because your mind is at most creative at night time.,..explains why I'm such a night owl. So this dress is me, being strong and dealing with all the insantiy that goes on in my life.

     The Dali Lama says, "When we meet real tragedy in life, we can react in two ways- either by losing hope and falling into self-destructive habits, or by using the challenge to find our inner strength." So my fellow readers, when faced with a diffcult obstale or tragedy you can face it one or two ways let it destroy you or let it change you for the better. This year has been a real eye opener for me and I thought I was going to lose everything that gave my life purpose, but even when I fell down I always pickeed myself up and said...Nope I'm good and kept  on moving. Nothing is the end of the world whatever you go through you can always pick yourself up and keep improving the situation. Also never stop fighting. The day you stop fighting is the day you have truely given up. Please don't  give up on yourself.

Angel

                 Hey guys! This is Angel. This dress makes me feel like my heart skips a beat. I'm so in love with this baby. I just want to wear it.

            There was no inspiration for Angel really... I gave Angel a sweet heart neck line because I love a sweetheart neckline it is really sweet. I added a floral bodice because I love the idea of a floral pattern, it's just so feminine. It never gets old. If  I could wear a flowers everyday I would. I wanted more of a corset bodice because it's so vintage yet sexy at the same time. I wanted a very day dream feel to it. I wanted to make the dress look like it was a two piece set. I adore the idea of a two piece dress or an outfit with matching separates. One is great but two is better. I created the mermaid skirt because I love a tight fitted dress. I added a two toned ombre look for some fun and flare. I also like the fact that the dres looks as if it were on fire.

              And what kind of person would I be without my random quote of the day... I know this entire blog post was super random today and there was no theme no inspiration today, but what kind of blogger am I if I didn't give advice...so here it is....." Your mistakes don't define you." See I know the name of the dress is named Angel and you see I started thinking of my own Angels and demons. I believe that no matter what we do wrong we should always be forgiven, as we should also forgive others. Everyone deserves a second chance. Who you are isn't defined by the amount of things you've done wrong. Who you are is based off of your own personality and that should always make you unique.

Alessandra

                Hello my beautifuls...Meet Alessandra! The best way to describe her is beautiful!beautiful!              beautiful! This is grand amd demands attention.
         
          So my inspriation for Alessandra was many things, but first of all my inspiration was Belle's dress from beauty and the beast! I think it's the most iconic disney dresses in disney's history. I mostly love how opluent it is and how the skirt of the dress contains pleatings all around the skirt. Almost drapping it like a curtian. I know that's an odd thing to say for a fashion, who wants to look like a curtain but I find it very stylish. I also adore the off the shoulder look lately. It's beautiful it covers the shoulder but revels the bare tops of the shoulders. The over the shoulder look was very popular in the 90's. I've been noticing that the 90's style is making a come back in the fashion world. I was born in this era so I guess that's why I love this kind of silhouette, it takes back to when I used to strut around in my little dresses pretending to be someone else for a day or simply just being the fashionista that I've been since birth...that's just my moms fault though, she was always buying my clothes and dressing me up. Even my aunt Lynda was part of the reason why I turned out to be such a fashionista, she was always buying/ making me clothes and bows for my hair... So yea I like to pretend that I'm still playing dress up. The bodiest is very regal and princess like. I like the idea of being a princess for a day, it always takes my breath away. I wish I could be a princess for a day. That would be a dream come true. Maybe someday....I wanted a high low skirt because I wanted a very vintage victorian style to Alessandra. I'd like to thank our ancestors for this gorgeous idea. I find that it's quite grand which is what you expect from a princess dress. I picked this beautiful teal dress because 1. Belle's dress is blue in the begaining of the movie and I think the color is quite stunning as well. 2. Because teal represents growth, and strength. See there are many people who contribute to who you are as a person. But I'd like to thank the little people who undermine my success. There's always going to be that one or two people who will try to put you down and make you think that you are worthless. But I'm glad that I've met the people that I have met. Because of their constant taunthing and looking down at me, they have made a very strong girl. I had to learn that not everyone has your best intrest at heart, not everyone wants to see you succeed, and not everyone is worth your time. I'm most greatful for all the heartbreaks and the let downs because I've grown as a person. I'm starting to love the woman that I am. I have been so lucky to look at all the mirrors of people in my life and I can see who is worth it and who isn't. I can see who I don't want to be like. So thank you for making me a better person than you.

         Anonymous, "Be thankful for all the diffcult people in your life and learn from them. They have shown you exactly who you don't want to be." So from me to you be thankful for every person who has made your life brighter or darker. Because they truely made the person that you are. Cheers to the diffcult times, and cheers to the good times. I look forward to the best of me.

Aaliyah

           Hey guys! I'm back. Meet my new piece Aaliyah. Aaliyah is representing me merging my past and brand new Danii 2.0. I know it's an odd thing to say but I feel like I  got a fresh new attitude and I'm making new approvements to my lifestyle. So this is a hello again from me to you.

         So without further ado this is my new baby, but she isn't as new as she appears and the next four dresses will be completeing my last collection of dresses. I call it youthful. Just because when I came back to drawing dresses I was a year younger or two. I was so excited to start my old hobby but I started it in when I was at such a bad place. I felt I needed to channel my sadness and anger into something productive. I actually fell in love with my art all over again, my art is a part of me. I'm the type of girl who likes theater, black and white movies, painting drawing, singing,dancing music, and digital media. I love reading and writing. I just found myself when I tought I lost myself for a while. Aaliyah is fun and crazy and a bit chaotic. She is drama to the T. I wanted a beaded sequined  top with a lace bodice because what girl doesn't like glitz? I feel like Sequins are the life of the party it draws attention when you walk. Like come on who doesn't like the attention when you look extra fab right? The lace is subtle but very vintage. I love vintage, if  I could go antiquining I would definetely go. Off topic here but my boyfriend took me to this cool fabric stores in October and I saw a lot of beautiful vintage fabrics they were so wow! I love to get inspiration from patterns and fabrics because I can craft an idea for a dress and I think it's so fun yet so out of the box! Girl to girl though vintage is so in ladies, look at all the boho looks and 1940's hair and 1950's makeup making a come back. SO keeping up with the trend I placed lace on my gal Aaliyah. She has that crazy new feathering of tulle because I wanted something completely different and crazy it reminds me of chaos in a dress it's intense but I think it's gorgeous! Plus I  see all you young girls wearing it on your own dresses don't lie I see you boo! XOXO. Aaliyah is ombre because ombre is very different yet trendy at the same time and like me always changing. It's the same color yet different some how.  I'm just trying to be a better me and improve myself. When you start growing up, at any age you find that you weren't the same person as you were the yeart before or the year after that. However, if you stay true to yourself and never forget you'll always find who you were meant to be. So weather you say good bye or hello to you past you'll always find that you are always on the path that you were meant to be on.
   
    So anonymous states, "The past cannot be changed, forgotten, edited erased; it can only be accepted." So just accept yourself, your past, present and furture and aim towards being a better you.
                                        XOXO Danii

Samantha

Hello readers, happy Friday! Today's dress of the week is Samantha. And todays blog post is all about the confidence.... and this obnoxious color lol.

Samantha was inspired by the none other Samantha Jones character from the TV  series Sex in the City. Samantha Jones is best known for her confidence, and her bold wardrobe choices. A few of you may know that Sam's style somewhat resembled what I liked to call a modern 80's look. Sam could be seen wearing bold colors and big shoulder pads occasionally throught the show. Sam grew up in the 80's so it only makes sense that Sam would incorporate a bit of the 80's into her wardrobe. Which is why I used this bright greenish- yellow color in this dress because I feel like it's something Sam would wear applying that old 80's vibe in there because the 80's is known for being outragous and everyone wearing bright colors back then. Samantha was all about being herself, she didn't care if people stared at what she was wearing as long as they were staring right? So I gaver her a full on beaded rinestone bodice because it draws attention and we all know Samantha loves the attention. I love the idea that style is what we make of it, we can completely make something our own by maybe adding a tutu skirt with some nice pumps and a leather jacket because we just feel like it. I wanted a big dress because I feel like it makes it more personal to Samanthas unique and cleaver style. You'd never be caught wearing a ball grown on the streets of Matthattan but perhaps at a giant Gala event were all eyes can be on you. If I were to go to some sort of fancy event I'd want something out there to be more appealing to the eye and just because a little attention isn't that bad. With style there is no right or wrong anwser so just be yourself girl... Fashion is all about expressing yourself because is an art and it shows who you really art. Even though Sam is a bit over 30 I didn't care that a rinestone skirt is a bit childish, It sparkles, it's girly and fun. Samantha Jones never acknowledged her age because age is just a number so why not wear something that sparkles for a change. I hope I'm as confident as Samantha and I'll be rocking a bright color when I'm 80 years old, maybe even a dash of glitter because glitter is fun and heck there's so such thing as age. Fashion is a representation of who you truely are. I've been told that my style varies from time to time I don't care what others think of how I dress I  dress for myself because I want it to reflect how I am feeling on the inside out. I like following new trends but the great thing about new trends is you can create something new and make it your own. The key to confidence is being yourself and who cares what others think of you as long as your happy in the end you'll be untouchable and opinions won't matter. I've always said that the best thing a girl can wear is confidence so find it and wear it well. 

Samantha Jones said " I love you but I love myself more." I want you to love the most important person out there to love, you! The more you love yourself the less people's opinions will matter so put on your heels and your confidence and head out the door to happy-ville. 

Penelope

Hello everyone! I'm back! Sorry for being M.I.A lately, I've had a crazy busy month in Febuary as I've said in previous blogs before I got to be a part of my cousin's wedding and that was pretty huge for me because I've been a bridesmaid and my cousin and I are extreamly close so it was a big deal for me. So in other words it kept me busy. I also had a little incident were I spilled soda on my laptop and was laptopless for a couple of miserable days. I swear I'm such a clutz it's not even funny I wake up with bruises and wonder were they came from when in reality I hurt myself with the side of the table the day before. Then I blame the table for being bully story of my life. lol. I'm starting off my welcome back blog with another magical dress...Introducing Penelope... I had the courage to post this dress because it inspired me to add a little spice and bring a piece of myself to the blog table so without futher due I'll just get right into it....

I'm probably going to annoy the heck out of you but this is another Cinderella dress inspiration. I'm sorry I just love the classic fairytale and I did warn you about my obession with fairytales. I believe that life should be a fairytale in itself. I believe in the happily ever afters in life. I hope to someday find my true and enternal bliss. Everyone should be lucky enough to be happy with thier life. I know when you think about a Cinderella dress that you think of a big puffy dress but I wanted it to classic and timeless with the magical apperance of fairytale likeness to it. I wanted a fairytale dress with a modern twist so I gave Penelope a mermaid style shape. I also gave her a ruched top for a modern effect. I  put myself in Cinderella's shoes and I thought what would Cinderella wear in the 21st century, and this is what I thought of... Cinderella would wear her dress with a blue sequin skirt because it's out there, she's the bell of the ball, and because blue is her signature color. Cinderella would have a slit in the middle because we want to show off that beautiful baby blue tulle underneath the dress. I wanted to add a little lace at the bottom of the dress because I feel like lace represents innocence. And of corse can we talk about the bow in the back, yes I couldn't help myself with the bow I'm obsessed. I named her Penelope because I just like the name and I wanted to make this an orignial. I said at the begaining of the blog that it took me a lot of courage to post this dress because didn't want to be redundant and boring. Lately I've been in a bit of a slump and haven't been feeling like myself, almost as if I'm lost. I'm losing touch with who I am and who I wanted to be and this dress just spoke to me. I wanted something that represnented who I was, and this is it. I love Cinderella because she had to overcome a struggle in her life were people thought of her as a servant girl, or someone who was beneath them. She then realized that she had to have courage to disobey her step mother and go after her dream of meeting the prince and finding true love. I find Cinderella as a powerful character and a true role model for young girls.The message I'm trying to convey is that it's ok to go after what you want you always have to take big steps in order to find out who you are meant to be. I want to find who I am meant to be and in order to do that I have to be myself. Even if that means being my dorky self who just loves drawing dresses, fashion and fairytales. 

"Have courage and be kind." is what Cinderella's mother told her before she passed away. You must have the courage to be yourself, and always remember to be kind to others because kindness is like Karma what goes around comes around, so if you are kind to others you will always have kindness that follows. Bye readers. 

Makayla

Happy Friday my dear readers. Meet Makayla! She is the ultimate spring, and Goddess like dress. I love this dress from the color, the style, and the flowers. 

Makayla was created by nothing other than my own imagination. I wanted to give her an off the shoulder just because I really love the off the shoulder style because it really shows off a bit of skin without being so reveling hence, the long sleeves for a bit of modesty. We get the best of both worlds here. I was inspired by the 1800's Gone With the wind style dress because I kind of liked the style of the big dresses back then with the off the shoulder sleeves. I feel it's so romantic. I used a aqua blue because it represents communication between hearts. I choose to use this dress this week because I know this weekend is Valentines in honor of that I wanted to use something that spoke of love and matters of the heart. I also used yellow roses down the side of the dress because yellow roses represent Friendship, and joy. It is another way of telling someone you love them without being romantic. I bet I already lost you by combining romance and friendship but trust me I'm getting there.   So as I was speaking to you about matters of the heart and friendships is beacause I wanted to talk about to you about being heart broken and dealing with heart breaking stuff. I know I don't want you get depressed and go buy a tub of strawberry icecream and watch the notebook while you cry. No I wanted to throw out there that weather or not you have a special valentine this year you don't have to be sad if you don't have someone to love and share this special day with. I say put the tub of icecream away and put your self together be a strong willed person. You don't need a man to find happiness you can find happiness in friendships, or in something your passionate about. We build our own happiness and nobody is responsiable for that happiness. And if you have someone to share that love with be happy and share that happiness with your significant other. Remind yourself how blessed you are to have found love. I just wanted to remind you about survival. You can survive without love and you can survive with love. Take it from me I've been through a long distance relationship and it revolved around survival. I had to learn how to love someone who wasn't around to spend Valentines day with me, someone who wasn't around for all the precious moments in my life that I wish I shared with him. I bet you all are wondering how I could possiably love someone who wasn't around. I survived because I love him. I knew that dispite it all he and I would end up together and we were going to be ok because we had love on our side. He loves me and I love him and that's the only reason why long distance ever worked. Because we had hope that our love would be strong enough to keep us together. I had to have patience because when I saw him when he came home I knew it was all worth it. Just trust me you guys if you wait for love it'll happen. It always works out when you least expect it. I know you can survive all the heartbreaks, love, and distance. I know this because I lived it. So don't be sad be glad and strong.

Anonymous says, "You're strong, you survived living through the pain of it all. You will survive the dealing time. Things will get better, even better than better." You can survive anything just be greatful that youn are alive and healthy. So enough with my survival of love and heartbreak rant it really wasn't planned if I'm being honest but I hope you guys know how incrediably special you are to me and you are my little valentines. 

Elena

                     
                   Hey there my fellow readers, I wanted to apologize for not uploading a post last week. If I'm going to be honest I wasn't feeling it, and I wasn't movtivated nor was I feeling positive or truthful with myself. So since I wasn't feeling like the best of me I  decided to spare you the lame post and save it for another day. So without futher ado this is Elena. I'm pretty sure you've guessed the inspiration by now and if you haven't just listen to this quote by an unknown author, "You can't direct the wind, but you can adjust the sails."

          So I know you guys are used to my cute and girly dresses and trust me I'll get back to that soon but I wanted to do something dark, sexy, and edgy so therefore my baby Elena was created. Normally a pirate wouldn't wear a dress when sailing through seas but I wanted to use my imagination. Think of it was a pirate wedding dress and it's not the typical white wedding dress because hello pirates are wild and reckless, who is white and innocent right? We're all a little ruthless and ruff at some point. I did a sweet heart neckline to show off the chest for some sex appeal. Elena wasn't made for conseravative women it's made for a little pow. I wanted people to look at it and have all the attention to the pirate...err uh woman wearing it. I gave the dress a little vest because I tend to see pirates wearing vests for a more rugged look. On the vest I added x's that falls along the vest because x marks the spot. I added a striped pattern cause I also see the pirates wearing stripes, so I had to add the signatutre look.  The style of the dress was made in mermaid style because mermaids are found in the sea and a pirate may encounter a mermaid or two and it's also related to the sea so therefore a mermaid dress was a must. I wanted a edgy look so on the tail I added some ruffed layers of a different color because its different and gives it the illusion of being ruff. I wanted to do a pirate dress because when I was a senior in high school I was given a solo in ballet to  be a pirate. I felt like that solo was like my life. In many ways that was the year that I pushed to find my treasure or more or less myself. I always pretended to be something I'm not and that year I found who I really was and what I  really wanted to be. I found my confidence and I found what I really wanted to do with my life. I also found who I was supposed to be. Senior year is all about choices, and when your left your left to choose.  When your faced with any situation you always have a choice. Every choice you have to make leads you to your destination. Much like a pirate you follow the ocean and you make choices in which way you want to sail. So think about choices, think about where your sailing and your destinations. Where are you  going to find your  treasure fight for it be ruthless.

       So here's a quote from Captain Jack Sparrow. " The problem is not the problem; the problem is your attitude about the problem." How you choose to deal with stuff is your problem you can deal with stuff in a negative way or you can deal stuff in a postitive way. However, the choice is yours and it will effect your attitude and your actions. So before you act think first, how do you really want to live your life and how you want to approach things.

Claire of Hearts

      Here there poker faces, I'm back with another fab. dress for you....Introducing the Queen......Claire of Hearts. All Hail the Queen. I'm taking you guys to another trip to the land of hearts, where this time the queen is in charge. I wanted to do something quite insane today and Claire has it! I want you to lose your mind when you see this beautiful dress and how it was inspired and created specifically to be unique and to capture one of my favorite characters in the Wonderland story. "Be careful how you play your cards when you have a queen in your hand." 

We all have a little Queen of Hearts in us. Even though some of us don't want to admit it we all have lost our temper at some point or another, I know I have! I tend to get easily annoyed so I can see where the queen is coming from. No I don't want to do anything violent to anyone who annoys me but I did want to replicate her outrageous fashion. I used my imagination and gave the queen an official name other than what the characters call her in Wonderland which is the Queen of hearts. In my version of Wonderland the queen was refered to as Claire, but she prefers her subjects to call her Queen of Hearts because she loves to manipulate her subjects in to getting exactly what she wants, and if she doesn't she cuts thier heads off. I love the sassiness of the queen and I wanted to incorperate that into Claires dress by adding a two sided dress design one half is hearts, and the other half is black. I still wanted to stay true to the queens style but with a touch of flare. I added a white heart belt because she is the queen of hearts of corse. I wanted to give her a bit of an edge so I did a mullet dress kind of style I wanted her to have a short skirt in the front and a long train in the back because she's a queen that you don't want to mess with. I can picture the queen to run around in this crazy dramatic dress playing croquet and making everyone in the kingdom fear her. It's not good to be short tempered or as violent as the queen is but it is important to stand your guard for what you want, even if it means you have to be a little bossy and be leader. I myself tend to be a little bossy but only because I'm a bit of a perfectionist and I want everything to look as so, and I believe that you should never settle for what you really want. I know that I continue going back to wonderland but as I have said in previous blog posts I LOVE fairytales so that plays a major role in my imagination and designs, So I hope I don't bore you with all of it. I always try to bring something new to the table with a twist for a bit more flavor. 

Slim Phatty said, "Yes girl, you're a Queen and you deserve to be treated like one." This is for all my queens out there, never let anyone treat you less then you deserve, if anyone knocks you don't get up pick up your crown, and say "good for you for being so insecure that you had to knock someone down for it." Jealousy is ugly ladies and anyone who tries to tear you apart is just intimitated by how truely amazing you really are. Because remember your the queen and what you say goes. All queens must be strong so be strong enough to pick yourself up when you fall because your enemies will love to see you fall. We must show them that they are wrong. Your a dimond and whoever says so otherwise is a rock. 

Sarah

                Hello my fellow readers! I brought you guys something sweet this week and it's my new            dress Sarah. This dress has to be the most fun dress that I've had the pleasure of creating. I really       hope you enjoy my dessert for the day. 

 

               Sarah was inspired by cousin Sarah. She has such a bold taste in clothing. Sure she loves simple clothing but when it comes to costuming she isn't afraid to go out of the box. Honestly, She puts her costuming style to a whole other level, almost as if you were placed in another world. She is so creative, and you all know me I go bold or I go home. When it comes to my designs I love putting your imagination to the test. I love recreating the idea of something. I think that's why I love watching movies so much because for me its's all about studying the  designers fashion pieces. I love what other designers use for thier costuming inspiration. What made them use the color red for a certain character?  Was it purely a color preference or was it based on the characters personality? I too use my designs based on personality and what the person is really like. For instance with this Sarah dress I based it on her very unique and fun personality. She loves to have fun and she herself is a very funny person. A genuine character. I made this dress to look like a cupcake because Sarah is obsessed with cupcakes so I designed a cupcake shoulder and a bodice with a cupcake illusion I created sprinkles on the top and added the color pink because it's Sarah's favorite color and hello what is more fun than the color pink, plus it is very girly. Sarah has a very girly style so I gave the dress a big fat bow in the back for a girly edge. The bottom was designed to look like the cupcake cup and I wanted a lot of color to make it stand out more. I was also inspired by Katy Perry's outrageous costumes and style, I think she has a bold, girly, fun style. She is always such a character on stage. I aspire to that because I hope to have a bold charisma , to be able to light up a room as I walk in. I think we should all want to have a cool, confident personality. Confidence is key my friends be confident and be you, and if others don't like it then they can kiss your behind.

              Anonymous says, "Work hard, stay sweet, trust God, love deep." So I will leave you with this note if you work hard you can achieve anything, nothing is out of your reach. Stay sweet because you never know what opportunities that will knock on your door with kindness. Trust God because he created you and he is always working on your story just like I work on these stories. And most importantly love deeply with anyone and everyone because as I have said in many previous blogs it's important. I hope your day is sweet, Love Dani.

                     Hey there folks, me again. We're taking a wonderful adventure to a place that's a second star to the right and straight on til morning. That's right we're going to Neverland. So let's set sail.

      So the inspiration for this gorgeous dream dress was my wonderful friend Ana. She is a child at heart with an obsession for Tinkerbell. I thought that to recreate a Tinkerbell inspired dress would be genius. I make the top to look like Tink's triangular bottom skirt almost giving the dress a leaf like look. In the middle of the bodice I supplied heavy giant rinestones to add a sparkly magical effect. The rest of the bodice has tinier rinestones to give the illusion that the dress is covered in pixie dust. I added a green bow for a more girly effect. The tulle skirt was added to Ana for some drama because as we all know Tinkerbell was known for causing some drama herself. All in all this dress was created for some good fun. It's fun to be taken to another level of imagination.

Peter Pan says "Never say goodbye because saying goodbye means going away and going away means forgetting." Never forget about the inner child within you. I hope your days are happy and blissful and you always run towards your imagination. Most importantly never forget your friends. Don't ever say goodbye to the friends who are there for you through thick and thin, the friends who still bring out the child in you. I love this dress it is one of my favorites because it was so fun to give an imaginary character an image even though she already had an image but at least you can see her through my eyes. I'm forever blessed to have an amazing friend who brought this to my imagination. I won't forget you my friend.

Arnetta

        Hey readers, I thought I'd kick off the new year with a cherished dress that I drew in loving memory of my grandfather Armando Gonzalez. I know some of you may find this blog piece a little dull and some what depressing but bare with me I promise I will make it as lively as I can,

       Arnetta was inspired to me by my grandfather because I always looked towards him as someone he wanted to be proud of. I always dreamed that he would defeat his cancer but unfortunately he didn't get to live out his days and see his grandchildren succeed but he fought really hard. Which is why I am choosing to continue this new year with this dress. It is my masterpiece to him. On his last few months he got to see the passion in my eyes as I showed him my designs in his words he asked why I didn't go to school for fashion design. I explained to him that design school would be too expensive and I had to put it off for a real career. It meant a lot to me that he was so proud of my success at school and in my passions in life. It was heartbreaking to see him go and to watch him stuggle at the end of his journey. I just know that now he is smiling with the angels because he is no longer suffering and even though we miss him very much he will always be remembered as the anchor of our family, a man of many talents, and wisdom. I named the dress Arnetta because Arnetta is the female version of my grandpa's name. I gave Arnetta a red dress because red represents love and passion. I saw many versions of my grandfather before he passed away and I got to see the loving father, husband, and grandfather he really was. Even when I had to create his funeral video I saw the love he had for each of his family members, he loved us all equally and he loved to see us talk to us and make us laugh he showed me the true meaning of love. Love isn't what you see on tv or read in the books love is the love you have for someone even when you know your about to lose them. Love is family, love is being unselfish, love is kindness towards one another even when your mad, and love is taking risks even when it costs you a lot. My grandpa had all the love that anyone could of asked for. I also choose red because it represents passion he was passionate about music, carpentry, teaching, God, farming, and cars. I never knew a person with so much passion for so many things. I believe we must all have a passion for something because it makes the world go round. If you are passionate about something do it give your all into it, and don't give up. I also gave Arnetta a ribbon because it represents cancer. Cancer is such an ugly illness and I wish we could do anything to find a cure for it, but for those people who have lost loved ones, or have loved ones with it, or are struggling with cancer, this post is dedicated to you. I hope you are strong enough to fight it and strong enough to go on with your life as much as possiable because life goes by so quickly and it's extreamly short but you must keep on going as if today was your last day. We must always be hopeful. I also gave the dress some yellow to represent happiness, I hope that through times of struggle you find happiness. I hope that where ever my grandpa is I hope he is smiling at us with happiness that he left on good grace, and that we all made him happy with the time that he spent with us and happiness for the joy he will see in our lives. I want to contiune this new year with a strong mind and heart, I want to love fiercely and live passionately.

       "Those we love don't go away, They walk beside us everyday. Unseen, unheard, but always near. Still loved, still  missed."-Anonymous. Remember readers the ones you love are always with you everyday a little piece of them is always with you. To my grandpa you will always be in my memory everyday and that will never go away. Thank you for the time we shared the memories you gave me and the wisdom you bestowed on me. I hope you get to watch me as I go on with my life and graduate, get married, and see your future grandchildren. I know you will always be with me in my heart. I love you miss you and will see you someday.

  This post is dedicated to Armando Gonzalez, and Cancer patients. may you stay strong and love strongly with all your heart.
