Opportunity

Wow! It's been over a month since my last post.  I know I do this about 3 to 4 times a year, when I just fall of the face of the earth.  Whether it's family obligation or business, taking the time to write or record a video blog just falls of my completely  full plate sometimes.  I ask for your forgiveness, you faithful readers.  Although you all don't leave many comments, I know your out there and I appreciate your time. Now on to the good stuff!

 

Recently, I was given an amazing opportunity from the lovely people at SIMPLY STYLIST to "gift" their event with our At The Opera Earring for NYFW about a week ago.  Although I wasn't able to attend the actual event, it looked to have been a one of the MUST be at places for NYFW.  

 

Yeah, that's Catt  Sadler from E!

It was truly fashion at it's best and I was so grateful to be apart of it even in the smallest form.  A big thank you goes out to Sarah Pollack Boyd, Jackie Chambers and the rest of the SIMPLY STYLIST team.

It's All New

Hello Darlins!

I've been quit busy these past couple of weeks, therefore neglecting my poor little blog.  So much is happening in my world right now, it's hard to keep up with everything.  The past two weeks I've been working on Spring 2012 that I will not be sharing till the end of this year.  Since I'm not doing a fashion show this October, I decided not to show and tell till the Spring photo shoot.  The photo shoot that some lucky gal will be featured in from the "Beauty Is" Contest.

I've also been working on some accessories, that I couldn't help but launch a bit early.  The official launch and full collection of my accessory line will not be coming out till Spring 2012.  Which will included, earrings, necklaces, bracelets, rings, hair pieces and belts.  AND maybe, all be doing some handbags too.  Lord only knows.

Really didn't want to be model but I just had to show you how awesome these babies are.  Every time I wear them out, ladies stop and ask me where I got them. What do I say? MelissaVelia. (hehe)  No, I don't tell that it's me.

Also new to my label is my gift collection, which I decided to do out of the blue and has become a hit with fashion students and office fashionista alike.

Clients will be able to shop all of the above and more in person this Friday at EmergeLA.  I'm really looking forward to this event, love the music, love art and of course fashion.

I'll be giving away a pair of my new earrings plus 40% off coupons to a select few, so I hope to see some of you there.

My plate is pretty full next month, so much so I had to miss a cologne junket where I could've interviewed Paul Walker! Yeah my kids come first, had a parent meeting that night.  Also next month, Project Ethos, a friends fashion show, LAFW, son's 4th birthday, son's field trip, church function, and of course more designing (Spring 2012 & Fall 2012).

Am I BCBG, Busy Crazy Blessed Gal. (I know, I'm a nerd)
