Halloween Costumes!

Halloween costumes are here! I'm sure you have been wondering where my posts have been but I am back in full blogging mode after a bit of a hectic few weeks. I'm excited to thank my friend for once again letting me use her as my model. The costumes are so cute and it makes halloween all the more exciting for me!

Dress like Monet

This dress reminds me of a Monet painting because of the color dots. I'm trying to keep in mind that September does not mean summer is over! I'm holding onto brights for at least another month and a half.

Get wild with your wallet!

So when I say get wild with your wallet I do not mean clear out your bank account and max out the credit cards. There is an easier way. Adding a zebra print or snake skin textured wallet to any bag can really spice it up and add a little fun to it. I just got these in and I'm so excited to see how people pair them with their bags. Till then, stay wild.

September is for lipgloss lovers!

I started to analyze my shopping experiences when I'm looking for something to go out in. They are all mostly the same...I pick a top or dress, one or two accessories (be it bracelets or shoes) and then feel the needs to analyze how I'm going to do my makeup as I wait in line to check out. No matter what I end up imagining, there is always one truth. I will be sporting lipgloss. And then it hit me. What would be a better shopping day than if I got everything I needed including my must have gloss in one place? Nothing! Except maybe getting a free gloss. So here it is. All september there will be a free sample gloss with any purchase at Rum and Couture Boutique. Plus, with any 50 dollar purchase we will be giving away a full sized gloss. Hope that lipgloss makes your day, your night, or just your outfit!

Keeping it cool in one shoulder tops!

So now that the weather has taken a turn for the hottest. I am more than prepared. I was debating on getting new one should tops in because I didn't know how much out of season I would be getting. But lucky for me, and you, I got them and the weather is perfect for it! So enjoy the sun and show a little skin. Thanks to my friend erica you can see this cute number on! And it comes in two fabulous prints. I guess it pays to play a little out of season.

Sneak peak at the Shop

So here is a quick look at the store right now as it is! I'm very excited to say that I'm waiting on a huge order of just my line so it will be here to fill up more of the store. Looks like I better get some more shelving! Where to put it all...hopefully in your closets! Enjoy!

Sneak Peak at the Shop Part 2!

Sneak peak part two! One of my best friends is playing at the shop today with me! I've been so lucky and blessed with the best friends. I'm never lonely at the shop and what's great is they are my biggest fans, critics, and models. Plus my family follows my blog like crazy, and that warms my heart. Nothing feels better than having friends and family who believe in you as much as you believe in your dream. Plus, it doesn't hurt that my Aunt is a master seamstress and I know what is not possible for me....is always possible through her! Enjoy the Photo tour!

For the Love of Wallpaper

Here is a picture of a new tank top we just got in! I love it because the design is so delicate and it really does remind me of an old fashion wallpaper you would find in a tea room. I find it perfectly stylish to wear something that reminds you of wallpaper. Let's be serious...there are a lot of stylish people out there. Wallpaper designers could be one of them! Enjoy! You'll never look at your walls the same again.

The Great Wall of Basics

Here is the new wall of basics inside Rum and Couture Boutique. I had to put aside a wall for everyones basic clothing needs. I think a lot of stores have so many trendy things that they forget that sometimes all a shopper is looking for is a basic tank top! So here it is...basic tanks and tees. There are also long sleeve shirts. I feel that providing these always helps you in a shopping experience because let's face it...layering is in!
Love, your Rum and Couture Designer

Peek at the shop!

Here is a small peek at the color scheme! I will make sure to post pictures of the store with the merchandise moved in. Plus I will be posting more before and after pictures on the Facebook fan page for Rum and Couture.

Well here it is. My first mobil post! And a before picture of the store while we were painting and putting in furniture!

Photo Shoot!

Here is a picture of a dress from my spring line, as well as a small sweater. I love this dress. It's sweet and yet a little wild with the print. The photo credits are below...I want to say thanks to the great photographers, who were also the boys who put the "Bad" themed fashion show at SUNY IT. I really love them, and they have done great work. So thanks to those guys. I'll be posting more pictures from the fashion for everyone to see. Thanks for the support guys. All dresses are available for purchase now.

Love, Your Rum&Couture Designer.

Fashion Show Coming up

Here is a blurry picture of one of my new dresses going into the fashion show. Because I now have a small boutique, half of the show will be stuff I made as a one of a kind, and half will be dresses that you can buy in the shop. I'm very excited. It shows my design ability and also what my new shop entails.

Even better, you can now buy all the stuff in my shop after the show. Pieces from the show will be available after April 18th.

So what is the next step? The next step is setting up the merchandise better in the boutique. All this week I will be putting up new fixtures and display cases to better showcase what we have to offer.

I'm very excited to say we are going to be continuing to make dresses through out the summer even though there will not be a fashion show during that time. I will be making new pieces for the store continuously.

Thanks for the continuing support of everyone! See you at the shows!

Love your Rum&Couture Designer

Puffy Spring Skirts

Big Puffy Skirt Time. I would just like to say that even though most people complain about puffy skirts making their butts look big, I will venture to say that it’s not a bad thing. I know everyone is trying to slim down, but I would like to pay homage to curves with skirts that accentuate the butt and make it look bigger. This skirt can be bought at topshop.com and is a great spring piece. Next time on this blog…more skirts. I am determined to bring skirts back into my wardrobe.

As for the Rum&Couture line? I have been working on new pieces to show at this springs fashion shows. Fashion shows? Yes! I will be doing two this coming spring. I will let you know the details of the show as it gets closer!

Your Rum&Couture designer
