10 TIMES UNGARO


I'm always inspired by great designers, and as Michael Kors said, if you are a designer and you say that you don't know the great ones or you don't care, you are lying. Straight. Emmanuel Ungaro(what a beautiful name!) has being one of my favorites in floral print designs, like Roberto Cavalli is for printed and painted. So ,without further addo ,here goes my inspiration of the day, a dress that can be worn in many ways,for many occasion and style.Don't look for it in my web site.Is not ready to the public.It will be out in the catwalk soon.Leave your feedback.I'm open minded.

This is what I call FASHION


Designer iPhones, move over. For the ultimate fashion-meets-technology accessory, be on the lookout for Vivienne Tam’s Digital Clutch by HP in her 2009 Summer collection. The first of its kind.
At first glance, it’s a chic red peony design clutch that matches beautifully with dresses in Tam’s summer line and could be paired with jeans for a flirty day look or a cocktail dress for an elegant evening look. But on the inside you find the latest in HP’s mini-notebook technology with a 10-inch LCD screen and bright red keyboard that includes the Chinese symbol for “double happiness” on the enter button.
In an interview with GeekSugar Tam explains she chose the peony design for the computer because of the flower’s beauty and the person who carries the computer should feel a sense of peace, lightness and beauty like being in a garden surrounded by flowers. Her goal was to combat the sense of being “boxed in” that technology sometimes makes people feel by adding an element of nature.
No word yet on the sticker price for such a chic way of getting peace and technology, but the digital clutch is set to be available next year and will probably find its way into the arms of many fashionistas come next spring.
Now, if only it could hold a tube of lipgloss and a set car keys.

Meet ccdesigns

Corinne from oneadaychallenge at Etsy


Who are you?
My name is Corinne Portalatin. My friends all call me Cori. My business name is CC Designs. ( Cori's Creative Designs).
What do you create?
I love to create jewelry for all occasions. I have a wide range of jewelry that includes bridal jewelry and hair accessories. I find wire wrapping jewelry the most enjoyable technique. Maybe because it takes a long time to create a piece of wearable art. My business is evolving from beaded to artisan wire wrapped jewelry.
How long have you been doing your craft?I have been making jewelry since 1995. I first started out wanting to earn some extra money when my son was a toddler. I found an ad about making money and quickly found out it was a scam. I was so taken by jewelry making that I had wanted to pursue it more. My husband had also passed later that year and I knew I was going to be a stay at home mother for my son. I relocated to my hometown and found out that in- home jewelry parties were a lot of fun and profitable. I took a couple of years away from jewelry making in 2003 for a change of pace,and went work in an office for a couple of years. In 2005, I found a small shop to consign my jewelry and wanted to return to creating jewelry full time, because I was missing it. I also never had enough time to complete the custom orders that I was receiving from the consignment shop. In 2007 I found etsy.
What do you like about creating?
Creating helps me relieve stress and depression. I love spending time creating wearable works of art. I have dreams at night about different designs, even the bead colors. I wake up in the morning thinking about that piece of jewelry and can't wait to get started on it.
What do you like about your business?
I love that I can choose my own hours, even though I'm a workaholic, some days I just don't have time to work. I love to see people wearing a piece of my jewelry, even more people I don't know. My first experience with that was one day in church shortly after moving back to Missouri. I saw a lady wearing a necklace that I knew I had made. I remembered the person bought it as a gift for her mother at a jewelry party.
How did you find out about Etsy?
I found etsy doing a google search trying to find places to sell my jewelry. I wasn't happy with selling only on consignment. Do you sell your products anywhere other than Etsy? I sell my jewelry locally at a wonderful home decor store in Troy called the At Home Outlet. I also sell in a FTD Florist Gift Shop in Warrenton. I sell online at Ecrater, and Icraft.
What do you do when you’re not creating products for your shop?
I enjoy playing bingo with my fiance (Kevin) and when I visit my family we usually play Scrabble. I really love to work large jigsaw puzzles, but etsy has taken that time away from me for now. I think I may take a vacation soon just to work a puzzle. I keep saying that. I love lighthouses!
What are some other sites to find out more about you and what you love to create?
