SUPER NEUTRAL

I'm a big lover of contrast even when I go neutral. I beliiieeeve in contrast, even in the simplest of outfits.

Gone Neutral. Vintage Inspired.

An Afternoon in Central Park

Last Friday I spent some time with my friend Leah taking photos in Central Park. It was my first time visiting Central Park in the Columbus Circle area.

Lace Perspective - DIY Lace Top

One Saturday night, instead of hittin' de club I decided to stay home and work on sewing a new top(well I really don't go to the club but you know what I mean o_o).

Moruka Designs Fall/Winter 2013 - "Pom Clutch"

MorukaDesigns.com

I had this idea for a while to do a denim and faux-leather clutch but wanted to do something different from what I normally do. I wanted to do a half circle clutch that opened flat at the top with the circular bottom. Well, after much pattern making, lots of math, and figuring out the mechanics I bring you this bad boy and I like it! I hope you like
it too. :-)

Party on the inside!

I decided to kick off Sunday, the first day of Fall 2013 & the intro of my Fall/Winter 2013 line with the "Pom Clutch". Why the name? Well a lot of my product names come from back home in Guyana and the earthiness of this clutch reminded me of the Pomeroon area in the Guyana interior so I named it "Pom" for short.

Pomeroon River, Guyana.

Top: Mandee
Pants: Similar here
Shoes: Madden girl
Clutch: Moruka Designs
Jewelry: F21

It has a neutral, earthy tone and I wanted that overall look without having to wear jeans with it. These aztec print jersey cutoff pants with the tan chiffon shirt and black shoes felt right. And it wouldn't be complete without an arm party. Good thing it was still warm enough in New York to wear this. My hair is in a separated twist out that was moisturized with The Pomade Shop's LinoMoist.

A little stiff but I like the wind-in-hair action.

Check out the "Pom Clutch in my Etsy shop.

Behind the scenes: Had to moisturize my sexy before the shoot. -_-

Recap: Moruka Designs Summer 2013 Trunk Show

Dress: Mandee
Shoes: Nine West, Thrifted
Earrings and bracelet: Forever 21

This past Saturday August 10th, 2013 I had my very first trunk show for Moruka Designs Handbags at AK Couture Boutique and Beauty Bar in Brooklyn, NY.  I wanted a bright yet neutral look with some contrast so I went for this bright yellow empire dress, brown and green wedges, and gold accessories. I did my signature side sweep for the hair and neutral makeup using Bare Minerals as the foundation.

I did not know what to expect but did lots of advertising and gave it the 'ole college try. I totally forgot to take pics of the food(how could I forget that?) but I had wine, cheese, crackers, fruit and water. I wasn't nervous once the event actually started. The four hours went by fairly quickly.

I featured my Spring/Summer purses and wallets. There was a mix of my clients as well as AK Couture clients who wanted to get them some Moruka Designs digs. This bad boy was the star of the show. I sold out almost immediately on the two I had in this style.

Also both purses from this post sold out:

And these as well as some others that I was not able to take photos of.

I had fun interacting with all my customers. What I love the most is the feedback and about how much they liked the purses but I also enjoyed listening to their personal preferences/opinions. The turnout was great and I'm very happy with the overall result.
