A new year and breaking all the rules...

Sunday, February 08, 2015

Hey lovelies,

Kei here with some new pics. This year I promised myself that i would say yes more often and take more risks. I wouldn't call it a new year's resolution,but more like a promise to have a happier life and strive for a better future from 2015 onward.

So far 2015 has been great, and a lot of opportunities are beginning to roll my way since I have adjusted my mentality and my approach and kept an open mind, to both my business and my personal life...so things are looking up!

I am so excited to share my experiences with whoever will listen. And I feel truly blessed to have such beautiful people and friends around me who push positive vibes and energy my way.

Lately my team seems to be growing. It used to be just me and my tablet taking pictures by my bedroom door. Now I have a very talented up and coming photographer/graphic designer and an aspiring make up artist/fashionista/amazing friend supporting me and my business.

For this shoot, we were running late and chasing the sun but here are some of he amazing pics we got thanks to Brendon of Mozi Photography and Vanessa xd(violetemporium.tumblr.com). Check them out!!

...and now to the pics!

Until next time

Pompasetting Like Its My Birthday....Cause It Was...

Saturday, December 20, 2014

Hey lovelies!!

Last weekend was my first time at a fashion event , as a new fashion designer. Plus it was my birthday weekend so i felt like getting extra fly and fabulous by wearing something original, of course.

The event was great and it gave me some ideas and inspiration on how I can carry my brand, name and designs to the next level. And I was proud to see all the talent we have in Barbados be recognized. My dream is to someday be fabulous enough and bold enough to take part in something so fantastic.

But for right now I have a long ways to go but I know that I'm going to/ I have to get there.

However, before I attended the event, I wanted to take some pictures with my friend to show off some of the things I made.

Well compared to what I saw that night, my stuff is very normal and not at all extravagant haute couture or anything of the sort.

Check us out!!

XOXO

SEASONS GREETINGS

Today I'm stepping it up a notch. We have a Kayenar Designs white jersey patchwork dress.

You guys are probably familiar with my story, so of course you know that before it became a dress it was a skirt and another dress that i no longer fancied.

So I undid both of them and made a plain white dress with cap sleeves and a twist.

But my favourite part of the outfit are my SHOES!!!

The very first time I saw my babies I fell in love , they are just so frickin GORGEOUS!!

As you can tell, I am an every colour kinda girl so these are perfect for me.

Diva Status...

Sunday, November 16, 2014

Good day lovies!!

New on the blog, patchwork at a minimum. Simple plain black spandex skirt with a jersey crop top and sheer sleeves.

The patchwork on the sleeves was unintentional as I used fabric left over from making a printed jersey skirt and the back and sleeves were also from remaining fabric from other pieces.

Why am i telling you this? I just thought you should know that patchwork is like my best friend. I can solve any problem with patchwork especially those projects that never go according to plan. But the results are just as good as the initial plan I had in mind.

What do you think?

Pearls and Lace

Thursday, July 17, 2014

Happy summer lovelies!

I apologise for the inconsistency in my posts but I am currently working from my little itty bitty tablet, so posting every week is a bit challenging.

However, today i'm giving you fancy.

Pearls and Lace.

I don't always work with denim, and my designs are just as fabulous. I must admit :)

Today's post is an off-white stretch lace piece with a high split to the front for a little bit of sexy.

You probably would not believe me when I say that this piece is also a recycled/repurposed piece. Yep I kid you not.

So believe me when I say that you never know what you're about to throw away because it just might turn into a treasure.

I should've taken before pics as evidence. But the bottom of this piece was constructed from a pants while the top was a very unattractive lace piece that I knew I was never going to wear.

I am truly proud of this dress as well as the pearl belt that I also restored. Its not as fabulous and detailed as the original but its just as nice.

I fashioned this belt from my grandmother's closet. It is truly vintage but unfortunately I could not use it as is because the cotton holding the pearls had reached their limit so I had the displeasure of taking out the pearls of that beautiful belt. But it was worth it.

So today I leave you with this, beauty is in the eyes of the beholder and what one person considers as beautiful will not be the same for all.

Hope you guys enjoyed this post,

Until next time

Xoxo

Denim Shorts!

Wednesday, June 04, 2014

Hey lovelies,

Happy June! Summer is basically here and since the days are getting hotter its a good time to bust out the shorts!

And obviously I have the best shorts in the world just cause they are so unique to me. I am very proud of them.

My patchwork denim shorts! :D

They came out so cute not to mention breathable and roomy, which is very important for a butt and legs like mine. Hehe. I can sit, run, jump and skip comfortably without worrying about what that little extra fat is doing.
