Emily Ryan: Issey Miyake inspired, but easier on the wallet

Il_430xN.77955368

Il_430xN.75893403

Il_430xN.78626045

Fabulous collection I stumbled upon..of course, on Etsy.com.

Emily Ryan fuses the best of both worlds, highly unique fashion,
at affordable prices. Now, this is not your everyday wear, but if you
needed that something special, but didn't want to sacrifice comfort...this is it!

These 3 strike my fancy. There's more here.

Patagonia Bandha Dress: for every body type

Bandha dress

Admit it!
You know how you feel when you get that fabulous outfit that makes you feel like a million bucks?
Yup. This dress does it for me!
The cut is the kind that will work on all body types (mine being more pear shaped, and working on more of an hour glass (please weight gods, have mercy on me!) I couldn't keep this a secret for all my friends and readers, so am sharing the find with you all. Trust me...you won't be disappointed! Drapes lovely, no wrinkle, sporty fabric that can be dressed down with a pair of converse or up with some snappy heals! (And boys, if you get this for your girls, trust me, you will be a happy man!)

Dish Drainer: Delica

Can we say "how cool is that?"

Totally want one, but that would mean I'd have to remodel my 1987 kitchen".

Damn!

I have no idea what the scent is like, but looking at
the bottle makes me want to say, who cares?
Just look at that sexy gorgeous bottle that I would
get to hold every time I spritz!

Designed by Lavernia&Cienfuegos, located in Velencia Spain:

"CODIZIA is a fragrance developed for women who
look for a quality and premium product, but at a much
lower price than the top range perfumes. Its bottle tries
to transmit these attributes: elegance, personality, sophistication…
With its rounded shapes, the golden finished glass, and
the two curved white surfaces, which facing each other,
produce a light and reflection effect. The package has a
design that refers to the shapes and colours of the bottle.
It is distributed exclusively at MERCADONA shops."

Clever flat packaging for shipping or sale too!

New Works: Folia Design

H e l l o   o u t   t h e r e . . . .

I've been very bad about posting new things to this blog.
Sorry to you all!
Chalk it up to summer, intense schedules with days off for
vacation here and there. (I know, excuses, excuses.)

I "should" photograph the real thing, and I intend to do so,
but thought, for the time being to showcase some recent
works that I feel very proud of.

Thank you to my fabulous clients for putting your trust in me
to be your creative soul!

(This label wraps around horizontally on the bottle, currently being viewed vertically to fit better. Real version looks so much better with silkscreen gloss on stars and gold foil on velvety paper.)
