Super Sandals,the Summer Wedding Accessory

Sandals, which are strappy shoes are an enduring staple for fashionable brides.
Custom made design creates a complete new look on a very well known item.
Take advantage of the warm weather to try some of the latest trends.
Showing them in deep colors can be a creative way to add "something blue,"

There is no three without two: Pumps

Pumps

Pumps are a must have this summer not only are they sophisticated and sexy, but the touch of romance is in the air with these sensual shoes. Painted with many different themes ,my custom made pumps are stylish with elegance,comfort and uniqueness.

Just one year of love...

it's better than a life time alone.One sentimental moment in you arms.....

I remember this song from 1988.

It was mi first year dating my boyfriend,now my husband.

The song,sang by Freddie Mercury the leader of Queen, was one of the central sound tracks for the movie Highlander ,when he is at the bar alone.

On cassette at the long trip on train I made with my family like every single summer.

But my boyfriend wasn't there and I missed him a lot.

I was only 18 years old.

Today we have been dating for 23 years and I feel overwhelmed. Just wanted to share this feeling with my friends and fans and let everybody know that love exist.

Not like in the Soap Operas.

The "real"thing.

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.

All that Glam!

I read in Glam boulevard , one of my fave fashion web sites about the collection Christian Lacroix is pushing forward based on a mix between insects and glam.

I'm working on it

Well, I know prom season it's over but I just started working on this gorgeous purple gown, because what it's not over, not even started is summer. Ready to show those bronzed tan shoulders at the party of your dreams. No more Cinderella, the right look: purple with...isn't that lace?

Show some skin...

It seems like summer is t-shirt time. I had 2 request from 2 different groups about t-shirt designs. I know whats happening, you want to show! Summer is exposure so, keep it rolling, show what you got , show me what you want to say.Who are you? What you do? I love this people who represent themselves with big bold letters on black t-shirts. My son has one that says in big bold letters: Global Warming is nothing next to Eternal Burning. Wow! Touchy! I show you in this picture a new design for a christian ballet team that I'm proud to feature(My sister dance there) . They are commited to dance to the Lord and they are not ashamed to say it. I'm planning on making another design full colored, but this one looks good even in the chubby ones!
