When DVF Calls...

I never really considered myself "a designer"...just a person who loves pretty, sparkly, fabulous things. But I suppose, as a lover of fashion, and a person who actually does create concepts that are definitely out of the box, maybe I am...SO as a designer, there is No honor quite the same as having one of the most amazing Houses of Fashion contact you for projects...The Diane Von Furstenberg house of fashion, that is...
Posh.Life Bling has worked with DVF on several projects in the past...but when you get the call that Diane Von Furstenberg herself wants you to design her personal iPad cover...BLISS*
Just for a split second in one day she thought of me...Am I the luckiest designer ever, or what...?!

Coming Full Circle...

When I started this business back in 2002, I had no idea that I'd be making insanely over the top designs and working with the awesome clients that I've had the honor of working with at this point in my life. What I knew was that the first time I looked at my little boy, Cristian, there was no way I would be able to go and work outside of my home ever again. To be honest, I was very jealous of the fact that he may actually fall in love with one of his caregivers, and the thought was really just too much to bare! :) I tinkered with a few ideas, and being such a girly-girl, I would always find myself embellishing things...so when I got a cell phone, naturally that was next! Fast-forward to the present and the latest project...the Tama Town by Tamagachi Toys! This was really such a fun, whimsical project! Embellishing 450 toys for their debut in Toys R Us locations across the country. From the moment the 9 boxes arrived, my boys Cristian and Carmelo were stuck by my side, watching as the team and I put together these adorable characters! This was full circle for me...working on a toy project for a major corporation, Bandai of America, knowing that my boys are the reason this all came to be...having them get to watch one of their favorite characters come to life with our company...there are no words to express how great it feels. What I know for sure, is that the simplest ideas can make the most amazing impact! When I was a little girl, my Mommie would always tell me to do what you love. Work hard and never let anyone tell you that your ideas cannot work. Thankfully I listened! Follow your heart, work hard, do what you love, and watch your dreams come true!
