New stuff at OmgLia! Plus, my life.

I know it's been a while. But this is a good update, I promise! First, my life. I'm currently living and working in Orlando, Florida for Walt Disney World. It's temporary, and I'll be moving very shortly to Kansas City to do something completely different. Then I'll go back to college and resume my Project Runway style life of living, eating and breathing fashion design. That's pretty much it on the life part. (Oh- Flobee and I are together and doing great, and he loves me working at Disney because it means he gets to visit the parks for free!) Now, on to the new stuff at Omg Lia!

I added a couple of items to my Etsy Shop, but most of the updates are on my website, http://omglia.com. Here's a preview:





Oh, and there's a 50% off clearance sale going on! Prices are as low as $1.50, so check it out.

Outfit Post: Best Statement Necklace Of All Time

Today I wore this outfit to walk around Harvard Square with my dad! The reason this statement necklace from Free People is THE BEST EVER is because it was on sale from $60 ..... or $9.95. I got it for TEN BUCKS, people. AMAZING.

Linen Skirt: Zara
Shirt: Charlotte Russe or something
Gladiator Sandals: Marshall's
Necklace: Free People, here

So my boyfriend and I documented our proccess of drawing the winning entry for the Mario Mushroom giveaway! First, we had a fluke and picked 000 as the winniner comment #. The next time was, thankfully, succesful, and here is our (rather dark and muffled, I'm afraid) video of the experience:



So the winner of the giveaway is.... Nerdygamergirl!! Congratulations, I'll be emailing you and if I don't hear back in a week I'll draw a new winner.

Halloween jewelry at Omg! Lia?

It's that time of year again! Fall, which is my favorite season (don't forget about my autumn button earrings which are perfect autumn-wear!) and Halloween, which is a wonderful time for people who are into things like free candy, dressing up, and wearing lots of makeup, (um, sign me up for all of the above, please, thanks). And on Halloween you get to all of those things AT ONCE. Amazing. What a great holiday. I am also intrigued by spooky shit, so that gets an A+ in my opinion too. I'm really hoping I'll see a ghost one of these days - my friends see them all the time and I always miss out.

But anyway, we all know the real purpose of those post is (what else) to promote me. Yay, me! I'd like everyone to go and take a look at my Halloween Section (the Etsy has one too) and pick out something pretty and buy it. And I'm going to give you free shipping on it too! Cuz you are great!
Here is one of the new necklaces in the shop:


What's everyone dressing up as for Halloween? I don't know if I can top my last few year's costumes, which were respectively a lamp (age 14, I wore a lampshade) sperm (age 15, I wore a pillowcase that said SPERM on it) a janitor (age 16, I borrowed the school custodian's outfit) and trash (age 17, I sewed that one by hand out of trash bags, and it was super NOT skanky at all.) Ideas?

I Want This!

So, I'm going to let the cat out of the bag .... I, the plastic jewelry designer/creater/connoseuier, do not actually wear very much plastic jewelry. In fact, I don't really wear very much jewelry of any kind. I used to be really into chandelier earrings when I was 16 and I just never bothered to update my style, so, yeah.

That said, I do have a kind of necklace that I prefer and want to own and, of course, wear. And *GASP* the style looks nothing like that ones that I create! Anyway to give you an example, here is one such gorgeous necklace that I am lusting after from a fellow Kentuckian's shop:

NOBODY BUY IT, IT'S MINE IN THE FUTURE.

Proffesional Photography

Last week I sent in these jewelry items to an awesome DIY seller who's going to include my jewelry in her clothing photoshoot! Her photoshoots are always AMAZING so I'm SO excited that she's doing this basically for free (she's keeping one of the pairs of earrings.) I'll reveal everything when I get the photos back!

I apologize for not updating recently, I'm currently going through some personal stuff with the boyfriend and this is just not my weekend. On the bright side, I've managed to distract myself by watching reality TV and lord of the rings while making lots of wallets.... now I just need to sew them up!

Interesting find!

So out of curiosity I searched for "Eiffel Tower Necklace" to see if anyone else was using the charm I used in my recent necklace.
Here is my listing:

Simple eiffel tower charm with a bright red heart, theme of "I love paris."
To my surprise, there were at least 10 other listings who had the SAME idea. I honestly don't think anyone copied anyone (I sure didn't!) But this is too funny:
1. http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=8942743
2. http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=9530523
3. http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=8331165
4. http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=9476350
5. http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=7515253
6. http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=8877636
7. http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=8192647

How weird is that? :P I guess great minds think alike!
PS - I posted this in the forums and one of the responders (another seller on Etsy) bought my necklace! Proof to all that the forums ARE a good marketing tool (I've sold countless items off of the forums! Just ... not the promotions section, haha.)
