Class Room Talk

So today was a wonderful and fun day. I went in to my old teacher Ester's Marketing class at The Art Institute and just talked about my brand and myself, and how I market my items. She introduced me to her students and there were a few that stood out more than the others. Became part of a Fashion Event the Students and Ester are planing. Also going to take part in the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Run again in the fashion area for the Auction so be sure to look at what's going to come up and be made for that event as well. Ok now here is just a quick recaps on what I said about marketing and how I market my own brand as well. 

Social Media - is your best friend or it can be your worst enemy. Social Media is wonderful cause everyone use it these days. Everyone is using the net and google searching everyday.

Word of Mouth - friends to customer, to pass by-er. once a topic comes up, other will start to search and ask more question about what the topic is.

Self Promoting - something I always do. If you want to get some were you promote yourself to get out there. Its a hard world in the fashion industry and there's lots of shark. But you have to stand your own grown.

Socializing - Talk to people. Connect with other is also another big one. When you talk to people you make acquaintance or even friends. Talk to everyone you can when your at any event. To the photographers, other designers, promoters, even the fashion show/event coordinator. They will have a connection to others and they will be able to help you get in to other events.

Those four are the main things I use for my own marketing and promoting myself as a designer.

Utopia Fashion Show

Hello everyone! How have you been?

It's been a while since last blog post I know. >.< I've been busy doing many things and on top of that I don't ever seem to have time to blog. But here is something fun that had happen yesterday. UCD SFA (Student Fashion Association) Had contacted me a month ago and ask if I would like to take part in there "Utopia" fashion show. I gladly took the event and it was so much fun. The Circle of Models; model for me and it was a blast. Love the girls. I did a photo shoot with them before but I haven't had them model on the runway before and it was just wonderful. Love the girls. Of course as you'll see on instagram there will be photo up.

Lolita Morning Tea

Hello Everyone, How have you been? I know its been a while since I last post but as most of you know I work two other jobs beside my design brand juicy sweets. Since I'm late in this blog post I will post my best for it.

  (Hi There)

So this is my first time taking part in a Lolita Tea Party. This tea party is for Sac-Anime Summer 13 Lolita Morning Tea Party. I sat at table 3 with many of my other Sacramento EGL girls. Some I knew and some  I didn't but after the day I did get to know who they were though. It was a lovely time and it was quite fun.

 The tea- party was hosted by Katie Bair. We had simple games to play aside from the nice pastry. We all had a choice before going into the event of Green tea, Era Gray tea, or coffee. I just had a nice warm up of green tea that I must say hit the spot for the early morning.

 Each of use recived a different phone charm. A very cute and yummy phone charm. We got candy as well. 

I don't remenber were the pastry came from or what it's call but it was quite yummy. Inside the bottom bun has red bean past, behind the strawberry was a nice cream very yummy. I do know that its a bakery in Sacramento near Sac City I belived.

I think the only Con about the event was that I felt like I was treated a bit like a kid. I didn't really apriceated it much. We were also rushed on eating so that we could play game. Although the game keep up interaction with one another I didn't like to be rushed on eating especially since the pastry was very good. The Morning Tea didn't seem very long even though it was for an hour, I think they should have made it longer. But either way it was very fun and I did met new people as well.

Live2Model Fashion show

During the Live 2 Model fashion show that happen during the beginning of this year. It was a very fun and enjoyable day. A lot of work really. From 10 am getting 10 model ready was hard with 2 make-up artiest and 2 hair dresser. The show started at 3:30 but we weren't even done with half of the models good thing my part didn't come up till after intermission so we didn't go up until 5. Then again we were still doing makeup during intermission. My, My, My, the stress, but it did turn out good though.

In the photo we have some of the models. They had to wear black shirts to indicate models and for the begging show. They had there Head-bows and Top hats on for there first garment.

we were able to get some shoots before the show. Just these four though T.T only cause they were first done.

Yup I did kids cloths. It was my first show to do kids. I must say though I scared myself just sowing the dress. They were so tiny and small to what I was so use to. but it looked nice.

At the end of the show we tryed to get all of the models but some are missing. I think 2-3? It was a good show. Got an interview with Fashion Time? I think. Still looking for the clip from it. can't seem to find it.

check out more work on my facebook page. http://facebook.com/juicysweetsdesign
