Featuring: Interview With Designer Lauren Lacy MLS Denim





I had the amazing opportunity to interview fashion designer Miss. Lauren Lacy. Please be sure to follow her on all her social media pages ( information is posted at the bottom of the page). You will love her custom made clothing. As many of you that love one of kind clothes, here is the perfect place to start shopping.




**Share a little about yourself.
From a young age, I always loved to draw and be creative. The love and passion that I had for art led me to pursue a Fine Arts degree with a concentration in illustration.  My college education definitely increased my creativity, knowledge, and skills. More importantly, I became more well-rounded artist and discovered my own style and my own voice. After graduating I decided to open my own business as a freelance illustrator and graphic artist.  This was the birth of Miss Lacy Studios, LLC.
After being in business for over eleven years, I then decided to embark on a new fashion venture called "MLS Denim (Miss Lacy Studios abbreviated). I take denim dresses, shirts, jeans, vests, and jackets and repurpose them into something new and unique. I use techniques such as bleaching, shredding, ripping, and painting to create my one-of-a-kind custom pieces. I am very excited about the MLS fashion Denim fashion line because I was able to use the illustrative and graphic design expertise of Miss Lacy Studios, LLC to make this line stand out.


**When did you realize you loved to design clothes?

I realized I loved designing clothes at a pretty young age. Although I had always wanted to design, I did not really start to truly focus on it until about 1 year ago.


**What inspires you for each sketch and designs?

My inspiration typically comes from my imagination. I design pieces that I would want to see (and buy) if I were attending a fashion/art show, festival, concert, or any special event.


** What is your favorite part about being a designer?

My favorite part about being a designer is the creating process. I love coming up with an idea, researching how to create it (properly) and the executing it.

**How does it feel to see someone wear your designs?

Seeing someone wear my designs is surreal. For me to go from spending so much time brainstorming and creating a piece, to then seeing someone not only wear it, but to be so excited about it leaves me speechless. I sometimes feel like I am having an outer body experience.


** What role do you think social media plays in your business?

For MLS Denim social media plays a HUGE role in my business. I have been able to reach broader audience and sell my pieces to clients in other Metro Atlanta cities as well as other states. Without my social media platform (and the correct hashtags) these opportunities would never have been possible.


** What advice would you give to young teens that are interested in designing clothes?

I would have to say that they have to stay dedicated and focused. The fashion industry can test your desire, will and passion. But, if you truly have a love for what you do you will be able to overcome these obstacles and "valleys"

** Do you have any upcoming events, where you will showcase your work?

I actually just had my first fashion show last week! I was one of the designers in the Thrifting Atlanta Show that was sponsored by Goodwill of North Georgia. It was such a success, and I had so much fun that I am hoping to participate in more shows before the year is over.


** What is the procedure to purchase a design from you?

I can be reached through the following channels:

Featuring: Tiers of Sweetness; Look For the Bright Pink Door

  Photos By: Felecia Causey Written By: Felecia Causey Proverbs 3:6 Seek His will in all you do and He will show you which path to take I was able to visit Tiers of Sweetness, located in Wetumpka, Alabama. I had fun at this cute location. It reminded me of an old-fashioned small-town romance movie. The owners of the company, Cherryl and Denice, provided an overview of their lives and the history of Tiers of Sweetness. The cake-making sisters are a talented team. After completing a cake decorating course, Denice, who was previously a hair stylist, began her career as a cake decorator.   Cherryl joined her sister full-time after retiring from the Department of Conservation after 39 years of service. I adore how she saw her sister's vision and understood that her love and passion were revealed while assisting her. When I visited, the women were very  friendly. I was captivated by their account of how God served as their compass and mentor during their business efforts. They discovered

Featuring Interview with Cake Designer Nicole of OKC Cake Lady

Photos Provided By Nicole   Me: Hi Nicole! How did you start your passion for designing cakes and where are you located? Hi! I am located in Oklahoma City Oklahoma. I started working at a grocery store whenever I was 18 years old. I have always been a car Enthusiast and I had a mini truck that I was fixing up as a hobby. The grocery store manager asked if I wanted to work in the bakery to get more hours. Well, more hours equaled more money for my truck, and I kindly took them up on their offer. From there, I started in the bakery, and I absolutely loved it. I could not get enough of getting to create and putting smiles on customers faces. Me: What made you take a leap into starting your own business? I have always loved business. When I walk into other people's stores, I always look for ways to try to improve their store in my head. So, after working in the bakery for years I just knew that I could do this on my own and I would be a lot happier. I knew that being in my own environm

Featuring Tea Town in Montgomery, AL

Image
Written By: Felecia Causey Tea Town is a family-owned restaurant located in Montgomery, AL.  It’s in a great location right off Vaughn Road, close to the AMC movie theater. The first thing that caught my attention was how clean it was.  I enjoyed how peaceful it seemed.  Oh, my goodness, my readers and followers know how important good customer service is to me.  The entire family that was there was so welcoming. I was impressed when they asked if I had any food allergies.  That was very courteous of them.    I wanted to get a little more background of this family.  Just by talking to Buu and Brandi I knew they were aiming to build relationships with their customers. Watching the interactions between them and each person that came through the door, told me that they would treat their customers like family.  It will definitely set them apart from many other restaurants in my book. Phat Trieu and Cam Thai came from Vietnam along with their kids.   They have been cooking for years and
