Fashionable Sweets

Dear cupcakes, to-day is your lucky day. Why? Well, I am giving out information on an emerging fashion trend so new that even I haven't got an article of such nature yet.

I guess I am betting my whole credibility on this. And, why should you trust me? Well, I am a fashion designer and I have a good idea of how trends work.

However, the real reason is that I happen to have some sort of psychic connection with the rest of the world, and it's a matter of faith that you believe me on this or not. 

It happens very often that, suddenly, I decide I would like to wear a certain thing that nobody wears and I have seen nowhere: just an invention of mine. So I go around searching all over, even where it seems less likely that I will succeed, for that. After a few months, I finally find it and become one of the very first wearers and, within a season or two, it has become fashionable and it's seen all about.

Now, speaking business, you have surely noticed that, for the last 5 years, muffins and cupcakes have been increasing their presence in fashion. Now they're all over, and you know trends go out of fashion as soon as you notice they're fashionable. So something is about to override them. What?

Macaroons and petit-fours got a shot, but didn't really make it. In fact, I believe their failure was that they came in too late. I was expecting a tide right after the film of Marie Antoinette came out, but it took them a few more years to appear.

So my bet is for the next trend to be ice-cream:

 

Should you come across anything with an ice-cream, doubt not: buy it! (As long as it's nice enough, of course)

By now, I've only found a few things at Claire's, hidden among the muffins, but they're mostly earrings, and I don't use earrings.

However, take notice that sundaes and ice-cream in paper cups look like variations of cupcakes, and popcicles are variations of lollipops. Although these are also part of the ice-cream trend, what you really want to look out for are wafer cones with two or three scoops on them.

Good luck on the hunt!


And, for those who've read the post all the way down, I'll also say I've noticed some plastic spheres with floral motives printed on them. Try to get hold of real porcelain balls, much better if they're hand painted. You may want to dig into your mother's jewel-box or take a look at second hand jewel shops.

Tea to all!

Laces for my Valentine

 Three weeks is not a minute too soon to think about what you're going to wear for St. Valentine's Day, and Victoria's Secret has already launched their new special collection.

Just allow me to remind ladies that the delicacies of lingerie are not for anyone else to see, but for their own enjoyment when buying, touching, wearing and looking at theirselves in the mirror. Go ahead and walk around smiling secretly to yourself proud of the seductive weapons enclosed beneath your dresses that no one but yourself knows, and enjoy the thought of how irresistible you would be to anyone who could get a sight of your underwears.

I do encourage everyone to wear something special on every festivity, even when you are not assisting to any party, date, ball, dinner or meeting to celebrate it. So, why not choosing a love angel looking outfit, involving some red or pink, a corset, lace stay-up stockings and a deshabillé look?

Notice that St. Valentine's Day is a celebration of Love. It is dedicated to a priest who celebrated christian weddings when these were forbidden by roman laws. So I think it is everything but a date for loosing your chastity.

Celebrate Love. All sorts of love, including friendship love or family love. Tell them you love them, and wish them lots of love in their life. And lots of tea also: strawberry white tea, rose petal white tea, chocolate berry green tea, vanilla tea or strawberry & champagne tea are great varieties for this day.

Choose some special lingerie just for your self.

Play naughty, be good, cupcakes.
