Dark Pony Designs: Behind the Scenes










This is where the magic and a lot of hard work happens!
Every Dark Pony Designs item is dreamt up, sewn up, and boxed up right here.
My studio is in my former dining room of my home that I share with my husband and my two sons, who are kind enough to put up with all of my fashion nonsense. I would love for this room to be bigger and I would also love to have a closet, but I am a make it work kinda girl. Check out my Pinterest board of inspirations for the studio of my dreams.If I have to eat dinner every night in my laundry room (which is the current situation) I'll do it. I have a dream and I feel lucky to be able to do what I love. Hope you enjoy this sneak peek.

The Color of 2011

Loving this makeup look from Marie Claire UK featuring Maybelline lipstick in Sensational Pink Punch, which is very much like the newest hottest color around: Honeysuckle.
I just recently discovered Pantone http://www.pantone.com/ 
If you are a person who is color obsessed (like me) you will be fascinated to know that honeysuckle pink is the office color of 2011! Here is what Pantone's website had to say about this amazing color:

"Honeysuckle emboldens us to face everyday troubles with verve and vigor. A dynamic reddish pink, Honeysuckle is encouraging and uplifting. It elevates our psyche beyond escape, instilling the confidence, courage and spirit to meet the exhaustive challenges that have become part of everyday life. In times of stress, we need something to lift our spirits. Honeysuckle is a captivating, stimulating color that gets the adrenaline going – perfect to ward off the blues, explains Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute®. “Honeysuckle derives its positive qualities from a powerful bond to its mother color red, the most physical, viscerally alive hue in the spectrum. Eiseman continues, “The intensity of this festive reddish pink allures and engages. In fact, this color, not the sweet fragrance of the flower blossoms for which it was named, is what attracts hummingbirds to nectar. Honeysuckle may also bring a wave of nostalgia for its associated delicious scent reminiscent of the carefree days of spring and summer.  Honeysuckle is guaranteed to produce a healthy glow when worn by both men and women. It’s a striking, eye-catching hue that works well for day and night in women’s apparel, accessories and cosmetics, and in men’s ties, shirts and sportswear. Add a lively flair to interior spaces with Honeysuckle patterned pillows, bedspreads, small appliances and tabletop accessories. Looking for an inexpensive way to perk up your home? Paint a wall in Honeysuckle for a dynamic burst of energy in the family room, kitchen or hallway."
Amen to that!
