Tweet Tweet

Finally decided to get a Twitter account. Now what? I can't really tweet too much because -well- I have to work and do other things :) But I have to say... it's addicting! I've only been there maybe a week, and I'm constantly looking at it when I'm at home, and constantly trying not to look at it! LOL

I'm like a total Bachelor junkie, so now I'm following Sean Lowe's abs Twitter, and all Bachelors and Bachelorettes I like from previous seasons. I'm finding a really hard time not tweeting "personal" stuff! If I get my own account I will NEVER tweet as D&E Handmade Cosmetics. Oh geez! If there weren't enough (and much more important) troubles in the world!

In any case, if you have Twitter, please follow me @de_hawaii. Other than tweeting about the bachelor I promise to post coupons, special offers, looks, and well, more Bachelor! "Tierra-ble" (ha! that's what they're calling Tierra nowadays) is just a train wreck to watch and I'm hoping Sean Lowe keeps her a little longer just to watch her unfold in her pure evilness. Oops! Did it again. No mas Bachelor for now. But please follow @de_hawaii and visit my website www.dehandmadecosmetics.com.

Eva

Tomorrow is Art and Flea! Ahhhh I get so excited every time. I hope you guys can make it. Come dressed as a super hero and (get in free, get a discount?) Something. I really don't know, but I know one thing. It will be F U N!

 

Eva (Franco, not Salcedo) Dress and Chevrons

Unless you live under a rock you may have noticed that chevrons have been trending strongly since last year. I don't know what the next big thing will be, but chevrons are cute and I hope they stay here longer!

 I found this super cute chevron dress on Wanelo from Hopes. It can be found here.

Hopes has so many cute clothes and accessories, I'm definitely bookmarking them! This one is so dreamy, if I only had a place where to wear it to :-)

This teardrop beaded necklace is cute, but it's too much for me. It would look great with the chevron dress above to give a pop of color!

And today's winner... (haha, in my eyes at least!) it's this baby here. Wow! What a find! Designed by Romanian-born  Eva Franco and available at LIT Boutique, it's only available in a size 4 (yep, not me :-). But if you're interested an you're a size 4 this ziggy dress can be yours for $202 dollars. Gorgeous!

Please visit my website and don't forget next week is Art and Flea. Hope to see you there!

Cute Find from Wanelo

I've come to love perusing Wanelo and "saving" things that I find super cute. I find Wanelo to be a great marketing tool for my etsy shop so I visit, post, and save often. Today's favorite item is this gorgeous tribal dress from Charlotte Russe. So, OK, I know it's not winter-friendly, but I live in beautiful Hawaii! Pantone reported the colors for this spring and the color "linen" it's just what the bottom of this dress is. Beautiful! Yours for $36 dollars you can find it here.

   If you're curious, here are the colors to be trending in Spring 2013:

Back to School

Well, talk about a new year and new endeavors! After I finished my masters degree at Hawaii Pacific University in 2011 I swore I was done with school. I do believe in life-long learning, and I love reading and researching (I'm a geek and not afraid to admit it!), but school stresses me out. The fact that there are deadlines and so many books and subjects has always been something I found hard to manage. But now it's time to, yet again, go back to school. Oh my God, I can't believe it! I enrolled in make-up artistry school. Holy Toledo, I just hope it's not too hard! I love making make-up, but applying it on others intimidates the heck out of me.

As you may know I gave birth to a beautiful baby girl last July, so that means that I spent the first half of last year getting more and more pregnant and unable to do many in-person events due to that. But now it's a new year and I'm ready to go out with my products. I'm doing Art and Flea every month, and hopefully I will be able to do Women's Expo and the Made in Hawaii Festival. I had scheduled to do the Honolulu Spring Gift Fair, but it got cancelled. What a bummer! Oh well, maybe next year. In the mean time I'll be attending Bella Torre Academy to learn how to make women more beautiful, and I'm so excited and nervous at the same time. Good Lord, just wish me luck!
