Beautiful Green Skirt

My sister latest creation, a beautiful green skirt with a little splash of purple and blue on our friend Adneiphi.

Flea Market Findings

I don't always hit the flea market but when I do, I try to find items that speak to me. I rarely find a think but check out what I was able to grab on Saturday and all for just seven bucks.

A vintage jacket that may or may not have a different journey once I totally lay my hands on it. I just like to change things and give me signature. I grabbed it just for its design and color, it is blue after all. Who would think a fabric used to adorn a home, could also be used for a jacket, how cool is that?

Not that I really needed a make-up bag. I am a minimalist in that regard but bought it to serve as a storage for my world of bracelets once they are completed and also as a added decor on many future projects. Art direction in motion.  

I am a scarf person. I live for scarf. I have an assortment of them and just found a little corner on the drawer for it. I am pretty sure I will wear it sometimes but bought it mostly for what you will see below, 

Voila, Eiffel Tower, Paris. 

Call me crazy!

My Art, My Creation, My Work

I am a woman show. I live in a schizophrenic world, no pun intended but my hands are like tentacles extending everywhere.  They move around faster then birds migrating south. I am just creative so they say.

Once upon a time, I wanted to be a fashion designer so I began sewing, to the point I had my own clients, high school friends, a skill I learned from my mother at tender age of 16. I was riding high, I loved it but it all stopped when I moved to the States where you live and breathe ready to wear, and college took over. 

I was creating and it felt great to see my work on others. Undone, I moved on, dreaming on becoming a fabric designer. So, I began sketching while innocently searching for factories with no way of knowing it would come to fulfillment.

As fait would have it, I ended up in the same city the factories were to be located but as it has happened with many factories, they moved to China. However, the world today is our oyster. We live in the digital age where anything and everything is possible as long as you try.

I thought about combining my two loves, well one of many, designing and sewing and create beautiful pieces for a long, long time but kept putting it in the back burner. I had ideas, may ideas and they were that, ideas until now.

It is without further ado that I present you my first installment of my two loves. The fabric you see, it is mine and the bags, I made them from head to toe.  They are ©Ampablue Creations. Hope you love them as much as I loved making them.

Styling Is My Thing!

There comes a time in your life that you either do things you enjoy or just sit down and wonder. Try is the name, challenges there are many. I was given the chance to do just that and here I am, styling is my new thing. Well not really new but these one was special, lots of fun and all Eloquii, your destination for contemporary fashion, sizes 14 to 24 Woman Plus Size Clothing line. It was fun and exhilarating working with and helping style these beautiful ladies.

The Limited closed Eloquii but it is now an independent company owned and operated by its employees. So, enjoy the many styles and have fun shopping.

Norwegian Curlers Are At It Again

I guess it is that time of the year again, the Olympic Winter Games. The games that will occur in Sochi, Russia this year, is upon us and so the many interesting uniforms.

Take the Norwegian Curlers, their uniform are just to die for. Artistic they are not but calling everyone's attention they are, thousands and thousands of miles away.

Clover Canyon Resort Collection 2014

With exuberant electrifying prints, "every season is Resort at Clover Canyon," said designer Rozae Nichols created a masterpiece collection. Cuba, Havana-themed motifs like classic Caddy cars, cigars, tropical fruit, jute, and vibrant mosaic tiles, was the destination but any spy would see that they dabbed a bit into African prints. The collection has my name on it. Love, love everything about it and wouldn't mind to buy the whole thing. My closet would be screaming not enough space so, I digress. Enjoy it!

Can you see yourself in there? Maybe not so fun for the lightheaded people.

Dots dots everywhere...

Funky huh?!

I love the color combination. Some people would call it carnival, others will call it just perfect!

The bags are mainly Vuitton classics redone in Monogram Vernis leather with Kusama’s signature spots, and the shoes just artistically created.

 I wonder if she will do any jewelry. 

The shoes are also a delight. 

Where is the party at? Too bad I can't parade the headscarf at the office!

To the park I am not but to the office I am. 

The world of Yayoi Kusama. Do you see yourself in any of the pieces?
