Target design- Parker Palm Springs Chandelier.

As I am designing more I am trying to think of what my target market would like to see. A great tip I read on some business blog somewhere was "Your target market is you, with more money". So my first collection is based on that idea.

I have called it the Parker Chandelier Collection based on none other than the Parker Palm Springs Hotel's ballroom chandelier. It is where I would spend all of my time .... if I had more money... 

Just a heads up, I will no doubt talk about The Parker, Palm Springs and Jonathan Alder more in future posts.

Starting to see a pattern...

I am moving right along in my current design class (ps Thank you everyone that helped me reach my goal)... This week we were asked to look at colour and what it means to you. I dug deep into my wardrobe- actually I didn't have to dig that deep as it was everywhere. Though I wear the typical mummy wardrobe during the day- usually jeans and a black top, I dress up to the nines when my husband and I go out and as the sun reappears that date night wardrobe starts to invade my day time wardrobe... Here are a few things I picked out:

grouping 1

vintage vera scarf

grouping 2

vintage Fredrick's of Hollywood 

(why yes, I did wear it to a movie premiere)

grouping 3

love this one! a vintage sheath dress

that I call strawberry fields

I don't normally shy away from colour... I wear it, I celebrate it and more and more I am loving it! How does colour show up in your world?
