From Europe with love

Today,I'm inspired by the many cultures that live together in the fashion world as well on the USA.
We are a big group of people from all over the World, adding our small sand dust to the big frame of the Global Market.Most of the pics feature cities or places in Europe to remind us of the great trends that affect our daily fashionable life.

Nina Hagen, re born , upcycled.



Last night I was surfing the facebook web and I friend "liked" Nina Hagen and I was like..wow!
I remembered how I used to sing her songs in my last year of High School.She was not the girl next door.
She was wearing all that make up and clothing very particular (not for the 80's but for the simple eye.)
To my surprise,I started to read her new album song titles and I was shocked at them and what she wrote about her

 beloved friend and sister Ari Up who passed away recently: "Kingdom of Heaven on Earth" to me!!


Now this daughter of God has recieved her heavenly crown !
God has called my beloved sister home and it will take some time for me to heal from the loss of a wonderful sister on earth .
THANKS to JESUS : GOOD 2 KNOW : We shall all REUNiTE again in The Homeland Of The Soul!
My King said : "LOVE! LOVE NEVER FAiLS! "
Jesus Christus spricht : "Ich lebe und ihr sollt auch leben! "
An manchen Tagen fliegen unsere Schutzengel so hoch, dass wir sie nicht mehr sehen können,
aber sie verlieren uns niemals aus den Augen.
On many days our guardian angels fly up so high that we can no longer percieve them,
but they never loose sight of us.
---Jean Paul (poet) 1763 – 1825
" Freue dich und sei fröhlich in Gott, weil du in Ewigkeit leben wirst.
Rejoice and be glad in God, for you shall live forever."
---Hildegard von Bingen (philosopher/mystic) 1098 - 1179
Der Himmel auf Erden ist überall, wo Menschen von Liebe zu Gott, zu seinen Mitmenschen und zu sich selbst erfüllt ist.
Heaven on earth is everywhere where people are filled with love of God and neighbor.
---Hildegard von Bingen (mystic) 1098 - 1179
Gott kann nicht geschaut werden, sondern wird durch die Schöpfung erkannt.
God can not be seen, but rather is known through his creation.
---Hildegard von Bingen (Mystic) 1098 - 1179
Gott ist die Zukunft! God is our future.
---Bettina von Arnim (poet) 1785 - 1859
Ihr sollt sein wie ein Fenster, durch das Gottes Güte in die Welt hineinleuchten kann.
You should be like a window through which God’s goodness can shine through into the world.
---Edith Stein (philosopher) 1891 - 1942
Gott wird ein Mensch, damit die Menschen Gotteskinder werden können.
God becomes a human being so that human beings can become the children of God. ---Edith Stein (philosopher) 1891 - 1942
Gott ist die Liebe. Die Liebe ist das höchste Reale - der Urgrund.
God is love.
Love is the highest reality—the primal foundation.
---Novalis (poet) 1772 - 1801:
It was so inspirational to see this Music Icon to meet the Lord that I almost couldn't sleep.
I started singing songs and designing Shoes in my mind with Jesus Freak written everywhere
What a cool ending for a wonderful weekend. Welcome Nina!

Meet Aly,Crochet that never sleeps.

I met Aly 2 years ago on our team of Fashion,Design and Lifestyles.
Originally from Venezuela,you can see nature inspired pieces in every one of her crocheted creations,probably because she was always surrounded by green,trees,jungle.Her profile is simple and clear about who she is and her style: "I love Fiber arts, nature, flowers and birds are my fav! :-) Love my family with all I have" 
When she finished this piece she said: I visited a Lake, right here in south Louisiana... the day was pretty and inspiring... then my necklace came to live today... :-)


One of my favorites,it is a complete artwork or work of art,it seems like her hands create magic.

Another of my favorites in peacock colors.Something else we share.


Her new line of hair pieces is outstanding. I have one that I wear every time I want to make a statement.

She creates custom orders and it is always ready for a new project! 




I suggest you to visit her shop and you won't regret it...Be ready to shop

Bridal Shoes painted peacocks, not dyed, WEDDING DATE , I DO






The perfect option for a no-dye pair.
Are you afraid that your satin shoes could stain or the dye might fade under the weather conditions,get wet with snow and get damaged?
I created this pair completely hand painted,there is no dye but paint and a glossy coat to protect them from harm.
Paint never fades or stains your dress.
Shoes must be worn in a good environment and be treated like art,because that is what they are,ART AT YOUR FEET.

I can add the Wedding date,I do and your names too

The submissive peacock in all its splendor struts and open wings filled with green feathers on green and teal,all accents can be modified,like gold instead of purple.
I'd love to create a pair to match your theme.

The shoes had been painted by my hands over the fabric instead of dye to create a textured finish with glittery teal and then I designed the set on a peacock theme with feathers in many green tones such as winter green,shiny green and goldish green,also gold accents and purple centers,with blue tones on the body and wings.

The vamp is gently pleated, and peep toe accenting it perfectly. The curved heel is feminine and elegant and more importantly, comfortable enough to wear from dawn to dusk.
I love these peep toes,they are so classy and dramatic!
They are not necessary just a match a for particular wedding,I can design this shoes for all other bridal events creating an overall theme with your bridesmaids,flower girls,decorations,invitations,etc.
They come in all sizes from 5 to 11 and half sizes too.
Made of satin and fabric upper, 2- 3/4 inch high.

If you want this design on your own shoes or in another style please send me a conversation to check on availability 
They can be customized in Dyeables,Peep toe Pumps Flats and High heels.

These Proud as a Peacock Design are also another example of how white wedding shoes can be customized at your needs or upcycled and look unique,matching your dress,gown,outfit or theme.
They are stunning for a night out,party,wedding or just to stand out of the crowds!
