Origami

A sign of beauty, patience and tranquility.

But did you know that this wonderful Japanese technique is being used in Fashion?

Take a look:

The use of inward folds. A Pattern

Vibrant color, delicate.

Boxes and folds. Perfect creases.

Sold color with pattern.

Amazing isn’t it? Inspirational! The things that one’s mind can come up with. I have been working on origami for the past couple of months. Let me tell you, this stuff is hard! Every fold must be exact, every step must be followed. Or else you’ll end up with some funky looking origami. What these designers have done is just amazing.

I’ve also started my own fashion origami, the beginning stages. Practice makes perfect you guys!

87th Academy Awards: The Oscars at their best 2015

L.A. born and raised, no better place to be. Where the sun shines almost all 365 days.

For some odd reason it’s rained on Oscar Sunday for the past two years. But like they say in Hollywood, rain or shine, “the SHOW must go on”.

It’s a day when Hollywood dolls themselves up: make-up, hair, shoes, dress, and shows off their best assets. Whatever it is, it’s perfect that day. But only so many can pull it off.

For those who cross the finish line without being attacked or humiliated by the fashion police, it’s a day of victory. I had to cut my list to MY top ten favorites. I present to you the winners in all their glory:

For those who didn’t make the list, there’s always next year. Choose your wardrobe wisely! Don’t let people tell you, you look good if you really don’t feel it.

Cheers! Araceli

Back On The Wagon

So I’ve fallen off the wagon and have landed with a BIG THUMP! A year to be exact. One whole stinkin year of not designing or making anything. Here and there I would get movie gigs which calls I never returned. I didn’t feel the drive to chase those opportunities. I didn’t have the time to give them. I wanted to work on my own things. Focus on myself.

I stitched some fun pin cushions and embroidered some Mexican napkins.

Cute aren’t they? I know, i’m a pretty crafty chick.
