'Paint Ventura' event

The "Paint Ventura" Fair on Sunday was presented by Red Brick Gallery in Downtown Ventura and it was the last day of a 3-day event. It started out with a slow morning but then picked up towards the end of the event day. Many many thanks to my last customer who had purchased 4 ties, 2 for her wardrobe and the others for gifts. THANK YOU, THANK YOU !!!! :)

"Handmade Galleries" Trunk Show

This past Saturday I had a Trunk Show at Handmade Galleries on Ventura Blvd.. the store where I have my neckties displayed for sale. I think due to Carmagedon going on in LA on the 405 Fwy, there was not as many people shopping as they would have on the weekends. Overall, I got great feedbacks from a couple of curious faces, so .......ROCK ON!!!!! :)

Oriental Spring

 

 

 

My "Oriental Spring" story started when I found this beautiful parasol. I knew I had to somehow incorporate it with one of my outfits.

Mad Men

So this week's photoshoot was inspired by Mad Men's Peggy Olson. Since her clothing has a look of innocence, I wanted to mix that up with a pair of power-suit trousers. It's Mad Men meets school-girl style, but just a little dressier.

Caged in for Fall

So my friend Nancy got this idea one day that we should do a photoshoot with a bird cage. Bird cage?...OH, I'M SO IN !!!! :) Now, where do we get a bird cage from? Thankfully, I have a few friends who are always willing to help with crazy ideas.haha And so, the other day my awesome friend called me telling me he found a bird cage! YAAYYAA!! Thank you Matty boy! :)

New stylin' designs!

So here I was, looking for novelty buttons at the craft store the other day, when all of a sudden, I turn around and see silk flowers. And then it hit me....what if I use flower petals? Said and DONE! And here's the end result: lovely feminine ties! :) Check out my etsy shop for more designs and choose a favorite! :)   http://www.etsy.com/shop/stylesbyana
