Today is special for 3 reasons.

Monday, August 9th, 2010

(in no particular order)…

1) It’s the second time (that I know of) betsy & iya can be seen on national television. (!!!!!!!!)

homemade cupcake brought to me by my shop building's maintenance guy. so sweet.

2) It’s the huzzy’s (not to be mistaken for ‘hussy’) birthday today. This is the only month out of the year when we’re the same age. And for some reason, I love that. It’s like we’re playmates, like we’re meant to go out barefoot, hopping the rocks in creeks and skipping them in rivers, building drip castles in the sand and messing up each other’s hair, tickling the other to tears and laughing until we have wrinkles beside our eyes.

Then I remember…we do that all the time.

W pretending (slash: making fun) like he was being photographed for his own Outfit of The Day.

I don’t think one day has gone by since we’ve been together when he hasn’t told me I’m beautiful. Even when I’m really not feelin’ it.

W, there is not a day that goes by when I don’t feel lucky to be your girl.

3) Today marks ONE WEEK until this guy…

betsy & iya Vice Pres???

…packs up over at corporate America to join this little machine. That’s right folks, W is crossing over to the light side and I. can’t. wait. (details coming soon).

I couldn’t have dreamed up a better life than this.

Happy Monday to everyone and Happy Birthday to you, sweet William!

Model Latina NYC. LookOUT!!

Monday, August 2nd, 2010

I love (I mean, love) my job. Today, I have some sweet goodness to share…

When Media Maison contacted me with an amazing opportunity for betsy & iya, I felt super duper flattered, took a deep breath and proceeded to gather, design, and create 200 pieces for possible use on the 3rd season of Model Latina in NYC. It was a mad rush, but I am so happy we managed to make it happen. …That was a few months ago.

…tonight, TONIGHT, is the premiere of SiTV’s newest season of Model Latina. It airs on Mondays at 9pm. If you don’t have cable, NO FEAR, you can check out the episodes online. betsy & iya will be featured several times on the show. So, if you’re a fan—be sure to check it out!

I am incredibly honored to be a part of this special show.

A huge huge thank you to Model Latina NYC, SiTV, and Media Maison for taking such an interest in my work.

Can’t Wait!!

Studs + The photo project.

Tuesday, June 29th, 2010

This post feels like sitting down for coffee with a good friend I haven’t seen in a while…

Available: $69

With the new shop, the new website and store launch (coming soon), new before & after shots, loads of new designs, and b & i being featured on a national television show—Model Latina NYC: Season 3 (airs on August 2nd)—there’s so much to tell!

Deep breath, people.

Let’s start with a glimpse into just a *few* of the new designs I’ve been cranking out:

These are still part of the collaboration between Isaac and me; we continue to sell many, but we keep adding new designs and we’re adding these to our online shops very soon! If you see any that you want to snatch up, feel free to email me and put in a request.
