With Love...

Don't know what to wear on the date with the hottie that unexpectedly asked you out? Here are some pointers...
* Nothing to wear for the janky weather lol? Get that summer dress from the back of the closet and pair it with boots and a hot leather vest!
*Accessories are a must in this case! Whether simple or bold, you want to make a statement!
*You dont always have to be matchy matchy!! In fact matchy matchy is a no no! (But if you have gold, chocolate brown, beige, ivory, tan, etc tones, and correctly pair them together, you've got style!!!!)
*High necklines may look better with a longer necklace in most occasions
*If you have a big trendy ring you want to rock and some random wrist action, wear the wrist shpiel in one hand and the ring on the other...
*If you go crazy with the necklaces (wearing more that one to layer), wear small stud or no earrings

CLIENT PICS!!!

SonnyBoy Langston is finally coming together slowly but surely! I am working everyday, being patient and taking steps to make sure everything is going great with the line. The business plan is almost done (like a couple more days). Then its off to phase 2: meetings with sponsors and investors. It's coming together guys!! One of my very good friends and aspiring singer, Ebony, wanted one of my hand-crafted pieces for herself! She LOVES my designs that I'm working on until everything gets ready for SBL to go into production and launch.
NOTE: I have come to the conclusion that there are various AWESOME eyewear designers currently in the industry. I want SBL to go into the direction of necklaces, bracelets, etc (I have lots of ideas), and not going in the direction of eyewear. (You know when you try something, then say...meh I can do it, but it isn't what I want to do for myself...yeah that's how I felt). Although, It was great making these just for fun and expanding what I can do in handcrafting accessories.
Anywho, Eb sent me a picture of her fabulous-ness with eyewear that I designed and constructed! Doesn't she look fab?!

My Black is Beautiful Feature!!! Part 2

Dedicated to Connie...

Revisiting where it all Began...

PAINT PAINT PAINT! Ive been working on a little project and bringing back my first love... painting. Painting has always been a passion of mine. In fact it was my first passion before I discovered my love for fashion. When I was asked to design a breast cancer logo for a tee, I never thought I would be asked to paint again. I’ll have to admit, I miss painting everyday. This task has really brought me back to where all my creativity started. A designer’s client wanted the painting to hang in her home and dedicated to her mother Connie. So this is the work in progress:-) *

*Thanks to Swizz Beats and following him on twitter, his love for art helped me get back to what I love to do! Follow him @THEREALSWIZZZ

PS after this...back to the SBL business plan!! woohooo!!
