big apple like goodness

Well folks. It's off to the big apple. Yes Masa Yume is going to New York next week. I am meeting with some wholesalers so I can get an even better quality of fabric. I'm soo excited. There are a lot of things starting to happen for Masa Yume. I also am planning a fall fashion show as well with Sue of Zaynini. This is going to be an amazing year. Look for my new improved website as well. I hope it will be done in the next few weeks here. I am also hoping to add another designer to the show as well. More to come

E3!

So as no one may know I a bit of a nerd...actually more geeky. ANYway! E3 started and OMGoody Goody GOODNESS! XBox 360 has done something marvelous. Now I admit, not a fan of the XBox. I'm a Playstation and Gamecube girl. Now I'm going to have to become a XBox girl. They will be coming out with a game that senses where you are. SO your movement is displayed as an avatar on the screen. Not a tiny baby avatar, but a life size on screen avatar.

With pretty cool exercise games designed to make sure your not on the couch and actually going for the red animated ball coming towards your face, down to the interactive painting you can do. :takes breath: Yes painting, they were hurling buckets, yes buckets! paint to help come up with the picture they wanted (no actual metally buckets needed to accomplish this).

But the best part of this painting things is that you can take a picture of what you want to add to your painting with the fun Neval(?) that knows what your movements are. OH OH OH and a actual avatar that stays "alive" in your game. You can interact with him too. That I will say is rather creepy. But upside, they have the fastest scanner I've ever seen! Okay now I need to calm myself cause I'm all riled up and ready to buy. Well I know this post is rather long and not fashion oriented, but hey I'm geeky and need to let it out!

the newest member of Masa Yume!

I would like to give a welcome and shout out to Shajuan, Masa Yume's new intern! I'm sooooo excited! She is an amazing person with a good head on her fashion loving shoulders. She is originally from Cleveland, OH and will blogging as well. I hope that she can add some flavor to the Masa Yume blog. So give love! More to come!

start to a perfect day...

so today at 5:30 in the morning I started the day out in a weird like back pain. I'm fine right now, nothing a good pain reliever couldn't fix. But the sad part is that I have been put on rest by my mother and boyfriend. Dangit! I really could be sewing right now in a euphoric trance, but I don't have a chair with proper back support =D. SO anyways I was still somewhat eventful today. I set up my new shop on Etsy. I had signed up and everything for it earlier this month, but haven't really taken the final step of posting anything. So now I have and you should visit Masa Yume. It's not the whole spring line, but it's a good start. So take a look. It's the shop I'll be rockin with. I will probably post tomorrow sooo I'm off to bed.

love is in the air

This weekend the bliss of love was in the air. My cousin Tatiana got married to her new husband Donny. Of course I took many pictures because I was cuter than normal as well. I say this because I normally don't wear accessories, due to the lovely allergic reaction I have to things not real. I can't wear fake gold, silver, or stainless steel. Anyways, while getting ready for the wedding, I realized that my neck was just bland, and open canvas. So I asked my mom to borrow one of her pieces while she was running out the door with the wedding potatoes (best dish in the world). After I heard "take what you want" I went with it. I found this beautiful gold necklace and didn't care if I would break out from it(which I haven't)see pics below.

Im in love with Nordstroms!

Yesterday I went down to Detroit with a friend of mine. After Yolanda and I didn't find what she was looking at in the shop in Detroit we got a weeee bit lost on the way back to Lansing. HA! So I just decided to go home instead. On the way to Lansing we stopped at Twelve Oaks Mall instead of wasting a trip. We had a great time. I am now officially in love with Nordstroms. I tried on fabulous shoes (felt bad cause I didn't buy any after making her work). I went to Teavana and I've loved their tea since my stint in the Chicago burbs. Oh and Nordstroms cafe is amazing. Its not like the crap in the cases you point to what you want, and its been sitting there all day. It was made to order fresh and amazing. After some lovely Mediterranean soup we had desert it was yummy. ^_^ White Chocolate Bread Pudding! Ughh! ^_^ So I'm not a big makeup person to begin with. After seeing these photos I should get into it a bit more hehehe.

FGI Creative Connection

On the second Tuesday of each month FGI has a creative connection. They like to meet industry pros and new people in general. I went this last Tuesday and had a fabulous time. It was amazing to feel all the creativity around me. It's amazing! I also met some really great people as well.
