Mary Janes for Weddings, pure comfort and style.

Traditionally Mary Janes are a variety of shoe worn mainly by young girls. In modern times they are worn by women of all ages. Mary Janes are typically considered formal for girls and informal when worn by women. And now so in fashion to wear on your Wedding day with all the comfort and style.
Working on Mary Janes for Bridal Designs has been one of the most entertaining jobs.
I was asked lately for two options that are also a come back to stay trend: Tiffany Blue and Hot Pink.


Tiffany Blue is the colloquial name for the blue color associated with Tiffany & Co., the New York City jewelry company founded on 1837.It has been always synonymous of elegance and classiness. 
This cute and sexy design has a girly-lolita look 
Tiffany blue mary janes or guillerminas are brand new customized by request in any color or design matching your gown,outfit or costume or just to wear for fun!

Hot pinks  are a yummy pair. Sexy design for a girlie-lolita like or doll look alike! Hot pink mary janes or guillerminas are brand new customized by request in any color or design matching your outfit or costume or just to wear for fun!
Brand new.They take a week to order and another week to customize. 
I love the style ,they are 2" tall but as comfortable as a flat shoe.They feature 2 pink straps and 2 cute bows each.

You can find them or have them made for you with your favorite customized color and design at

In the mood for the blues

This weekend I was more than busy.It seems like the wedding season is here to stay(at least for a couple of more months)
Nex saturday it will take place my sis BIG DAY and I had a wedding today and a Bachelorette Party last friday. I feel like exploding .The good thing is that I put together a mood board with the most popular tones for both events.
This event today was all in the blues and the Bachelorette Party followed the consequences of the Bridal Shower:Hot Pink and Black.Check it out!

I usually write about fashion

But we celebrated yesterday my sister's bridal shower.We have been planning it for a long time.
She wanted a hot pink and black combo on a damask theme. I purchased many items online at fellow etsian shops such as: lip shaped soap favors from www.

ShowerMe

.etsy.com ,damask invitations from www.

happygirlgreetings

.etsy.com ,utensils and table clothes.
We had two awesome cakes made by good friends ,one of the ,our wondeful cake maker Monica Nazario and the other one believe it or not made by the best man at Vivian's wedding.
Vero and Flor were in charge of food,that gladly filled our event purchased at Cotsco and I have to say that pastries and goodies are really good.Many of the girls were wearing hot pink and black.
I stood for black alone ,of course. And Valeria was radiant,shiny,glowing.
It was a busy afternoon followed by a great storm and a night to remember with friends,family and coworkers. We played a game of dressing a model with tissue paper and making a gown out of it. I was freaking out. That was my moment. I was creating the dress when I saw the other girls having fun with it and making bows and stuff on her hair.She started to look like a joke.
That is when I realized I wasn't on Project Runway! It was only a game!
Just wanted to show you some pictures to enjoy.

Dawanda is hosting a competition.

It all started with : Hi there Nora,Fancy winning your favourite product on DaWanda?

I love when they write fancy,it is so british.I remember at the Bridget Jones Diary movie when her mom ask her if she fancies a gerkin,and I laughed. That is because I don't usually hear people talking like that all the time. There is nothing I love more than the real english accent,I can still catch it in some song from Freddy Mercury and Elton Jhon.
So caming back to my topic I have been invited to the first Blogger Competition!
And this is my chance to let all my fellow followers know more about Dawanda,a web site for the handmade lovers most popular in Europe. Visit DaWanda! and take a look at the wonderful designers and artist featured under one big web roof.
I found a very interesting handbag creator called AnnaBelleBags. She makes the most gorgeous holster bags.
My favourite is a pink metallic Bag with holster of high-class pleather and a snakeskin effect.
All range of colours and styles are to be found at her page. Please take a look at my fave and browse for the one you'd love. Here you are going to have all the info about this product http://en.dawanda.com/product/4209210-Revolverbag-Halftertasche-Tiara-Limited-Edition

Welcome to Dawanda,enjoy!

And I owe it all to you!

Vivi's wedding was today celebrated in our great Church of All Nations located in the city of Boca Raton. I was asked to make all the flowers arrangement with coral and white roses, babies breath and ivy( a flower that I never used before) So, here to the newlyweds and all participant it goes a simple tribute.

Talking about Sarah Jessica Parker

Here is my new creation, a corset in purple lace look,size 34B. I painted the roses all over it in shiny purple,lavander and hot pink.It has adjustable straps to make it fit perfect. Fashionably in style! You can wear it for outfit or inside lingerie. It's up to you. Show it!
Pictures were taken inside and outside to display how it looks under different light. If you need it in another size or color, I will make it for you. Just it won't be exactly the same. I try to keep all my designs as unique as possible. I love to make custom orders!
