Lollipop Couture

I know I know it’s long overdue. I’d like to introduce you to my little princess Vanessa. She is 8 months already oh how time flies if only there was a way to freeze time! She was born on April 17, 2014 and weighed 5.15lbs she was sooo tiny. I love her to the moon and back. I’m so bless to have her in my life; she brightens up my day. She is something I tell you; I can already tell she has a BIG personality. She has her diva moments but over all she is a very good baby. So here is her first photo shoot she’s only a week old here and yes I just had to have her in a tutu and tiara lol. (Hubby was like noooo she’s going to get used to all the glam stuff)   When we first found out if she was going to be a girl, everyone asked if I was going to make her little dresses. I of course was thrilled with having a girl and was already envisioning her closet full of my designs! Well I didn’t get started right away since there was so much to do to prepare for her arrival and not o...

Hope you all had a fabulous holidays. I've been busy enjoying spending quality time with my loved ones. A few designs here and there which I'm excited to share in the upcoming year. Wink Wink. Thought I drop by to wish you all a Happy New Years!! Thank you for stopping by, see you all in 2015!! xoxo, L.C.

  First and foremost, I would like to take a moment to “Thank YOU!” for taking a few minutes out of your day to stop by my little blog and read my post. I hope they are amusing to you all and inspiring in some way.   Second, I’d like to get to know my readers more. Tell me a little about yourself, it could be anything you'd like to share. Are you an aspiring fashion designer, do you illustrate, do you sew? Do you have a website or a blog? You now have the floor, please share with me about YOU!  

Halloween is still undergoing, and I have one more costume to share with you all. Ok, in the previous post I asked you to guess what costume I had designed. I gave you two hints: she is a Disney Princess and she’s an ice princess. Well it’s no other than Elsa from Frozen. It seems as though this year Elsa is the number one Halloween costume requested amongst lil girls, every ad seems to have her in the front cover! Good thing my little customer will not be wearing a store bought Elsa and look like the rest of the little Elsa’s lol she’ll be wearing a custom design setting her apart from them.     If you don’t know who Elsa is here is a picture of her. For this design I had to look closely at the details that make up her dress. She has a sweetheart bodice, with a v waist line, and semi fitted skirt. Her dress also has sheer sleeves, neckline yoke, and a cape which are covered in sparkles and snowflakes. Work in progress For this costume I used three different ...

It’s that time again, Halloween edition 2014. I’ve been a busy bee lately. This year I had a head start on Halloween costumes. I was contacted by last year’s mom to make her daughter’s costume again. This is awesome because she loved last year’s costumes and her daughter received many compliments. It always makes me happy to know people out there appreciate my work. So this year I made not one but two costumes for her daughter.   Costume number one is based on Maleficent, Princess Aurora! She wanted the “gold” dress the one where she gets crowned in. Here is a picture I found online to give me an idea. From studying the design it seems as though the silhouette is from the 1900’s. The bodice consist of a semi square neckline, princess seams, and decorative trim around the neckline, waist and sleeve. The skirt has two pleats and the dress is not too full. Taking what I analyzed from the original design I tried to interpret my way by adding my own twist. So I just kept it...

Happy Friday Darlings, Halloween is fast approaching. What will you be? Don’t have time to go shopping or simply on a budget? Well don’t worry I got you! Did you know that you can go shopping in your closet? Well if you didn’t know now you know lol. I’ll be sharing with you some simple ideas that you can put together using your everyday wardrobe and a few accessories. First off we have “Where’s Waldo?” All you need are blue denim jeans, a red and white sweater. For the accessories all you need are some black glasses and a red beanie. This costume will be comfy, cute, and funny.   Another great option is the Morton Salt Girl. With a cute yellow summer dress, accessorized in Mary Janes with socks, and a black umbrella if you can’t find a purple one. I think this one is cute and creative.   Okay ladies this one is super easy. I know you all own a little black dress, but if you have a long black dress even better. Breakfast at Tiffany all you need is your LBD, black sh...

Good morning gorgeous. Happy Flash Back Friday Fashion Illustration! For this collection my instructor said we could either make a Holiday collection or any other type of collection. Well what do you know I really wanted a sexy collection I thought of Victoria Secrete as inspiration. This was going to be my lingerie collection entitled “Oooh La La in Paris.” This collection is by far my favorite! I was really inspired I had a vision. For this collection the fabrics I used were silk, sheer fabric, and lace. The color palette was black and white. The back story: when I think of Paris I think about how exotic it must be and how it is known to be a romantic place to be. So with that said I decided one night in Paris with your significant other! I wanted the lingerie to be unique and sexy. The poses are flirty and give off a pin up style vibe. Design number one: we will call her Rapunzel, since her hair is blonde and super long. She is wearing a corset night gown, the feathers underneat...
