Interview With Fashion Stylist Jennifer Koch

Hi There..... Have you ever met a Fashion Stylist or Personal stylist in person? 


Picture provided by Jennifer Koch

Would you like to learn a little more about their background, and what drove them to become fashion stylists, personal stylists, or both? 😊

Humor me and just say yes, or I will unleash all the humor I got in me to get what I want. I’m not even certain what that would look like, but are you actually willing to take the chance? 😈


Nah, I’m a wimp. Not a total wimp though, because I can kill a fly, although they take revenge, you know. Ah yes, it happened to me yesterday. I was outside knitting when suddenly a fly had the nerve to take a seat on my bottle of water. 😲


No, that’s not all. It sat there and left a dirty black spot of feces on the top. I am telling you the truth, and I was just minding my business. 😝

Better beware next time you see one of those ugly black suckers. They may be out to get you. 😏

Let's fly back to our fashion stylist on the blog today. It's the 36-year-old Jennifer Koch, who is the personal stylist for Stylegasm.

What kind of work do you do, or what are you studying to be? 

I am a personal stylist - I work 1-1 with women and men to help them express their true selves through style and image.  That includes Feng Shui wardrobe sessions, personal shopping, styling, style oracle readings, travel packing, and so much more. 

What made you decide to become a Fashion Stylist?

Actually, I never sought to become a fashion stylist, it just naturally developed that way.
I always knew my calling was fashion. I worked in retail sales at Saks Fifth Avenue and Kate Spade and also fashion PR in Paris. 

Then, I moved to Bali, Indonesia, and started a bespoke fashion brand. I got to know my clients deeply.  Naturally, they started asking for my help with services, like shopping trips, wardrobe clean-outs, etc.  

Over time, I realized my genius was actually in the services part of the business, so I ended up pivoting there. 

Is fashion important to you? Why? 

Style expresses who you are! It really lifts your mood and helps you show up as your best self in the world. Me, I have always loved clothes. It’s my creative playground. 

What are your successes and how did you achieve them?

My greatest success is being true to myself.  I’ve lived a very unconventional adult life, rich with many experiences like traveling the world, being an expat multiple times, and starting many businesses. 

I am grateful I got to really know myself and also have done a lot of healing along the way.

Is the name of the Brand important to you when you buy clothing?

I am not one of those label whores that buys something to show off some status, nor do I recommend this to clients. But sure, there is a meaning behind brands - I love to learn about a brand’s story, their craftsmanship, etc. 

Describe your personal style of clothing?

My personal style is bright, expressive, creative, fun, and polished. 
But this also depends on my mood. I can also be chic, edgy, quirky, etc.

How did you find your personal style? Do you have a signature look? 

I don’t really believe in a “signature look.” For me, as a creative, that is so boring.  I love to mix it up! I somehow end up defaulting to pink, often, though. 

In what way do you influence other people’s clothing style?

With my clients, we start with a Style Oracle Reading (I created my personal oracle deck!). This is really fun because it taps into the person’s subconscious and brings out their deeper style desires. 

Then we move into creating mood boards, clearing out their current wardrobe, and then, of course, shopping and styling! My clients don’t dress like me - I help them dress in their own authentic way! 

Picture provided by Jennifer Koch

What are in your eyes the best trends at the moment?

Well, I love all these feathers at the moment!  I am also excited that people are shifting away from the lazy pandemic dressing.  The shift towards more sustainability is great too!

What are in your eyes the worst trends at the moment?

The worst trend is conforming to trends that don’t align with who you are. Personally, I think some of these designer tennis shoes look a quack-a-ma-doodles, a term coined lol… meaning, a bit too quacky!?
 

What kind of fashion advice would you give us?

Be true to yourself - don’t worry about what others are wearing or tell you to wear. Many women get fashion advice that doesn’t actually serve them - like store associates or subscription box companies with their own agenda, or family and friends who give well-meaning but irrelevant advice.  

If styling is not naturally your strength, no shame in getting professional help with it!  

Picture provided by Jennifer Koch

Who is your style icon and why?

Queen Rania of Jordan - she is so poised and always a style icon.
Also, love Heart Evangelista, she has really great creativity mixed with luxury.  
 

Is there something else you would like to share with us?

Your closet reflects your psyche - so if it’s cramped, filled with stuff you no longer love - know that you can make a change and it’ll ripple throughout other areas of your life too!  

Thank you so much, Jennifer, for answering my questions. I love you sent me those before-after pictures of your clients. This way we can see how much they changed. 😍

Hope you like my blog.....Until next time.....Have a nice day

Interview With Jewelry Designer Marelle Couture

Hi There..... Have you been looking for a jewelry designer that makes statement jewelry? 


Picture provided by Marelle Couture 

Yes? Then this upcoming jewelry designer interview could be super interesting for you. I am always pleased to discover new people who will take the time to answer my questions. 😍

Oh my, I am so distracted at the moment. My head is saying come and write something meaningful to introduce this jewelry designer, but at the moment our cat, Ninoe, is making chirping noises because he isn't able to catch the fly he's been going after for the last hour. 😵

Have you ever eaten insects? Ooh, I just love them. They are so crispy and tasty I could eat them raw. 😋

Are you kidding me? I don't think I could get my mind to get past the idea of having something as creepy as insects for dinner. Nature would benefit from it, I know, but it's just not my thing. 😳

Ninoe does it all the time. Spiders, flies, mosquitoes, anything except ants and beetles. I get it, I wouldn't eat beetles either if they presented them to me. 😖

My uncle once almost swallowed a wasp when taking a bite of his sweet pastry a few years ago. It flew out of his mouth as soon as it saw that big dark tunnel (his throat) I suppose. 😲

Wow, I drifted so far off again. Let's get back to the jewelry designer I was talking about. Who is the woman behind these statement jewelry pieces? 😃

Marelle Couture is the 43-year-old jewelry designer and owner of Hopscotch Couture.

Picture provided by Marelle Couture 

What kind of work do you do, or what are you studying to be? 

I design jewelry, accessories, and costume pieces.

What made you decide to become a Jewelry Designer? 

At a young age, I was already drawn to fashion. My friends and I poured over all the fashion magazines growing up, and that interest stayed with me. 

For many years, my focus was on the fine arts, doing mostly gallery shows, portrait consignments, and murals. Always one to make my own wearable art, many clients admired pieces of my work and started asking for their own custom pieces.  

For a while, I did mostly private viewing trunk shows for my clients here and abroad.
Approximately fifteen years ago, I opened Hopscotch Couture and my focus became primarily on fashion. It is so rewarding to create wearable art pieces.

Is fashion important to you? Why? 

Fashion is so extremely important actually to one's self and mood. I know of no other single act that can turn a pauper into a prince and a prince into a pauper besides dress. 

It takes the human brain seven seconds to make an impression and, like it or not, what you wear says so much about you. What you have on also influences your own mood. 

You know, that one suit, or that one dress that always makes you feel stunning, confident, and happy. Wearing bright colors or florals on a rainy day can turn that day into a blissful one. 

Or how about that keepsake locket, one piece of statement jewelry, or antique watch from a loved one that makes you feel warm and close to them by simply touching it? Fashion and mood go hand in hand.

What are your successes, and how did you achieve them? 

I have had the chance to meet many amazing people. In doing so, my greatest successes would amount to my greatest joys. It is when a client comes to me with an idea or two and I can make exactly what they had in mind. Their joy is my high. I love what I do.

Picture provided by Marelle Couture 

Is the name of the Brand important to you when you buy clothing? 

When I shop I look for an eye-grabber every time. It has to compete with everything else on the rack and get your attention. Many times I favor vintage, for the quality is really unmatched.

Describe your personal style of clothing? 

I love vintage finds. Floral flowing skirts, white blouses over tanks, and dresses with an emphasis on accessories and jewelry. I don’t follow trends, rather I look for pieces unique to me. My mix is quite eclectic.

How did you find your personal style? Do you have a signature look? 

Growing up, I embroidered and painted my jeans, jackets, and even my footwear. Never one to blend, I had to have something different. My look is Avant-Garde mixed with classic vintage.

Do you have an influence on other people’s clothing style? 

My clients ask for my opinion sometimes, but mostly I try to work with their style in mind and perhaps push them to explore it further. I often show them what other countries favor in their style. 

I will offer different versions of what I am to create for them and they are always free to jump in with ideas. Happiness is always the ultimate goal. Fashion should always have a level of fun to it.  

Picture provided by Marelle Couture 

What are in your eyes the best trends at the moment? 

Right now I am loving all the florals and the mini dresses with the oversized clogs, are just so throwback yummy. Emphasis on the shoulders in The Avant-Garde and mainstream fashion and accessories are hitting in a big way for me. 

Epaulets and Crowns and all things royal are the most requested items I am seeing and I am loving all the women that are claiming their Queen moment right now.

What are in your eyes the worst trends at the moment? 

Honestly, anything that doesn’t flatter a woman's curves is just awful. Anything boxy, too constricting, or with cut-outs really flatters very few.  

What kind of fashion advice would you give us? 

Start with what colors make you happy, your favorite ones should be your go-to. Dress for you always, your happiness is the most important. Let no one talk you into wearing something you are not comfortable with or something you do not love. This is especially true for brides and that all-important day. You really should love every piece you own.

Who is your style icon and why? 

I have to say although my style is very different, what I love is the fearlessness in her clothing choices, Cher.

Is there something else you would like to share with us?  

In closing, I just want to say I think it is so important to dress you in you. Wear what you love always.

Picture provided by Marelle Couture 

Thanks, Marelle, for sharing some of your background with us. I love those statement jewelry pieces. 😍

I would like to point out also that over 95% of all items in the Hopscotch Couture line are made from previously loved, vintage treasures. 😊

Can I tempt you to read some previous jewelry designer interviews? 😘

Hope you like my blog.....Until next time.....Have a nice day

Tips To Take Care Of Colored Hair - Wella Professionals Hair Care Products

Hi There..... Are you looking for professional hair care products to better take care of your colored hair? Would you like to keep your color vibrant for a longer time?


Picture by Seadbeady
I made this blog post in cooperation with 

Nowadays, there is a wide range of hair care products, and it can be quite daunting to find what works best for you. 😬

You know, I sometimes wonder what would happen if I wouldn’t wash my hair for, let’s say, a month. How soon would I notice a difference? 😯

It wouldn’t take long to get intangible knots if you have long hair, but it could be an excellent way to get dreadlocks, I suppose. Somewhat like the picture below. 😁

Picture by Jakob Strauß on Pixabay

I read that if you don't take care of your hair for a long time it can cause buildup on the scalp. It would even damage your hair in such a way that it would impede its ability to grow. 😨

If you don’t wash your hair, your scalp would get itchy from dandruff, or even scaly, and it won’t be long before you scratch a hole in your head. Quite the horror story. 😱

Haha, that's exactly what it is, a story. Never heard of anyone scratching a hole in their head, but I did my part of scratching as a kid. We didn’t have special hair care products against dandruff, and I can assure you it’s no laughing matter. 😞

It's way past due though to tell you more about the Wella shampoo and conditioner I received from Buzzador in exchange for my honest opinion. 😍

Wella Professionals Invigo Color Brilliance line

This Invigo Color Brilliance line is one of our professional hair care lines. Hairdressers in salons use it, but it's also available to consumers for home use. 

This line is very suitable for anyone who wants to take care of their colored hair intensively and wants to keep their color beautiful for as long as possible.

INVIGO Color Brilliance with Color Brilliance-Blend™: Molecules that encapsulate the copper particles to maintain vibrancy. Histidine and Vitamin E help to control the oxidation process after color treatment and they protect the color. Citrus caviar contains several antioxidants and vitamins.

Picture by Seadbeady

Color Protecting Shampoo

Get an instant color vibrancy and protection for up to 7 weeks (with regular use of the INVIGO Color Brilliance Shampoo) with the Invigo Color Brilliance hair care collection for colored hair. 

The Color Brilliance-Blend™ is a powerful combination of new ingredients that keep color vibrancy and protect colored hair. Copper encapsulating molecules preserve vibrancy whilst histidine and vitamin E help regulate the oxidation process after coloration and protect the color (Anti-Oxidant Shield Technology). 

The Lime Caviar contains various anti-oxidants and vitamins. The range has a contrasting fragrance, between a refreshing citrus cocktail and a woody soft undertone.

Picture by Seadbeady 

My opinion on the Color Protecting Shampoo

I had already heard a lot about Wella but never tried their hair care products. The scent of the shampoo is great, but not overpowering at all. It foams nicely and you don't need that much of it. My hair has a wonderful shine after the use of this shampoo and conditioner. 😍

What I love about the bottle is the closure. No need to screw off the cap. All you have to do is press on top and a small opening appears, which makes it easy to dose, and even more importantly harder to spill. 😜


Picture by Seadbeady

Vibrant color conditioner

The Vibrant Color Conditioner for colored hair improves the hair surface and enhances color vibrancy. Contains Anti-Oxidant Shield Technology and Lime Caviar.

My opinion on the Vibrant color conditioner

This hair care product has a thin cream texture, not too thick. I love the soft citrus scent of this conditioner. My physiotherapist even asked if I was wearing perfume because she found my hair to have a very refreshing scent. 😊

Picture by Seadbeady

Afterward, my hair felt well moisturized and soft. Definitely a great product to take care of your hair. 😃

Hope you like my blog.....Until next time.....Have a nice day

Where to Find 21 Handmade or Vintage Gifts - Etsy Gift Guide 06/2022

Hi There..... If you could choose the items for a gift guide, what would they be?


Would you love to see handmade items, fashion items like clothing and jewelry, or beauty items to take care of yourself? Maybe you would rather have something completely different? I would love to know. 😃

Ah yes, sorry, I am the nosy type. I am always sticking my nose where it doesn't belong. 😉

Haha, no, it's not that bad. I can restrain myself when I need to, but that doesn't stop me from wondering. 😁

My mom used to say I was always asking lots of questions. I found on the internet that kids ask about 40.000 questions between the age of 2 and 5. Isn't that incredible? 😲

Today I am answering your question on where to find handmade or vintage by sharing some of these Etsy shops' finds. 😍

Beautiful crochet mermaid doll with removable tail revealing her cute bikini outfit. She has long golden yellow hair tied at the back in a little plait.

Genuine UV Red Seaglass $134.30




Hailing from a mind-spinning variety of original sources, authentic sea glass comes in every color of the rainbow and each shade in between, manifesting in an astonishing array of configurations and forms; so naturally, certain surf-tumbled treasures are less common than others. 

Indeed, while all genuine red, orange, yellow and exquisite amberina sea glass is exceptionally rare, scarcer still are uranium-infused pieces that glow when exposed to ultraviolet light. Given these facts, the fourteen stunning surf treasures used to create this handmade locket represent the most intriguing of my collection. 

Smoothed, fabulously frosted, and shaped into myriad tiny triangles, rectangles, circles, and teardrops (measuring anywhere from one-half-inch tall and one-third-inch wide to one-quarter-inch tall and one-quarter-inch wide) only by time, the surf, sand, and salt, these stunning ocean gems have been upcycled into a unique, opera-length fillable locket necklace. 

Handmade with a focus on highlighting the innate beauty of this autumnal prism glass and designed to be filled with whichever pieces best match your mood or ensemble, the sublime ultraviolet gems that fill this larger locket represent almost every conceivable shade of red, yellow, and orange, including rare amberina, characterized by a striking blend of distinctive tones of orange, yellow and red.

Sea Foam Sea Glass Necklace $42.35 - $44.77



This shimmering, silver chain necklace has a gorgeous sea foam sea glass pendant that captures the calm and serene feeling of the beach. Sea foam sea glass is an uncommon color, that ranges from green to blue with varying color intensity. With the minimal wiring wrapping and dainty chain, this necklace is the perfect everyday necklace, as its colors can go with any outfit!

The sea glass used for the pendant of this necklace is approximately 5/8 in width and length. Remember, this is an approximation. The actual size of your sea glass may vary slightly! The 18-inch silver-plated chain has a pretty shimmer that makes this necklace lovely for special occasions or as a gift for someone who loves the beach. This length, also known as "princess," is a universal and versatile option that looks great with almost any neckline.

As a beach combing enthusiast, it is so important to me that all the sea glass used is authentic, wave-tumbled sea glass. After finding the pieces, I clean and polish them to prepare them for wire wrapping. I design each piece based on its own unique color and features to highlight the beauty of the sea glass.

When you hold your pendant to the sky and the sun shines through, you can truly enjoy the magnificent color of the natural phenomenon that is sea glass.

In order for glass to become sea glass, it undergoes years of being broken and tumbled in the ocean to transform its hard edges and shiny surface into a round, frosty stone! Each piece of glass endures its own journey, so no two pieces will ever be the same!

The innate uniqueness of sea glass makes it a very charming and thoughtful piece of jewelry.

HOW BIG IS THE CAT BALL? The Cat Ball® has two openings, one large and one small. They measure about 6" and 10". The bed diameter is 17", and the height is about 16".
WILL MY CAT USE THIS BED? Does your cat like boxes, tunnels, and small spaces? If your cat seems to be claustrophobic, don't buy this bed, but if your cat likes cave-like things, he/she may enjoy the bed. If your cat does not respond, contact us for some tips and tricks. Occasionally, a cat never figures the bed out and we accept a return, but usually, it just takes some experimenting and time.


Lucky Pocket Rock $20.57



Keep this rock in your pocket, purse, bag, etc, and if you have a yes or no question, ask it, then pull the rock out: the "hot" desert side is a "yes" and the "cold" winter side is a "no."

Use on any occasion.

Rocks in this shop are acrylic-painted and coated with outdoor spray varnish. Acrylic paints are long-lasting and pigmented; spray varnish is water and weather-resilient, making them perfect for stone crafts.
