Jonesie Cake is Moving to ETSY!

In order to simplify, I am combining my love for the pretty with my love for painting.

Stix and Jones is the new name for both my painting and my pretty headgear. I am building an etsy shop that will hold both of my creative outlets, for all to enjoy. I just started today, so check back for new items being added to the store!

This blog will be for all of my interests in the feminine, floral, fashionista and pretty and the art blog will be for the rest. I hope this isn't confusing because it's actually saving me money and time on my end. Jonesie Cake will be no more and will now fold into Stix and Jones.

Fire on the Mountain

I am sorry my pretties...been sweating out the fires.
The loft has been unbearably hot.

More pretty things to come, now that I can breathe again.

Where can I get the dress that's on the label you ask? Why, that's a "Lookie Lookie, Here Comes Cookie!" 1950's Satin Halter Swing Dress in Victoria Red and you can only get it at Baby Girl Boutique who also carries the Jonesie Cake Line!

Now go get your shop on!

Been a While...

French fashion hairstylist Olivier Chomienne

Yes, it's been some time since my last post here. I started a new day job which has really kept me on my feet...wowsie wow! I go in, get a cup of coffee and next thing I know I look down and it's 7 pm! I also just moved and am finally feeling a bit settled. Everything is unpacked, but it's a 1700 square foot loft and there is no storage or lighting! So it's dark and everything is on the lfoor right now. It is fun though because I can paint and decorate how I would like. AND! I have a special space just for Jonesie Cake! Pix of the redecorating coming soon!

LA Fashion Week to be in Little Tokyo

Louis Verdad Design

Completing the trifecta of events seeking to fill the Smashbox void, details for Downtown LA Fashion Week have finally been announced. On Thursday, March 19, event organizer Leanna Lewis has teamed up with Decades' Cameron Silver to present a 20th century vintage fashion show at MOCA's Geffen Contemporary space in Little Tokyo. Tickets to the show and afterparty, ranging in price from $50-200, will be on sale to the general public, and an official press release infers that proceeds will benefit the troubled MOCA.

During the same evening, the group has also chosen to honor local designer Louis Verdad. His sumptuous 'Louver Collection' will be showcased installation-style alongside photography by August Bradley and a film by Robertino Fonseca, both of which pay homage to the designer and his work.

Although the name 'Downtown LA Fashion Evening' might seem more appropriate, the group, which refers to itself as "an environmental and cultural collaborative of fashion, art and music," has stated that it plans to expand its scope in the fall. We've heard that one before, but it seems like as promising a start as any.

McQueen at Target?

At first, I wasn't sure how I feel about this...but, now that I have thought about it? It's fantastic! This means mid-west American will be dressed well! and now everyone can afford a McQueen! Even me!

Target’s New Cheap-Chic Line Kicks Off With Alexander McQueen

The line, named McQ Alexander McQueen for Target, will be inspired by British rock band The Duke Spirit and will be priced within the retailer’s cheap-chic price range. (Designer Jonathan Saunder’s current pieces for Target include skirts for $18.89 and dresses for $27.99, for example.) The retailer notes that the new program differs from its GO International lines in which emerging designers like Proenza Schouler and Luella Bartley have created limited-edition lines for Target.

Duke Spirit Band - Inspiration for McQueen's Target Line

Target has had success with such partnerships so far — its Anya Hindmarch line of handbags sold out minutes after it started selling online in early October. The retailer says it will announce future collaborations with established designers for the new program throughout next year.

Collabs: The First Photos of McQueen for Target

We also learn that McQueen wasn't always a fan of Target, or rather, he 'never understood' it. "But the idea of spreading his name appealed to the designer. 'Apart from the East and West Coasts, my company doesn’t have any visibility in the U.S.,' he said. 'I always liked the idea of people in the Midwest wearing my clothes.'" Included with the article are two looks from McQ Alexander McQueen for Target, and an extended description of the line, which sounds very rock 'n roll. And kids, there are McQueen for Target prom dresses. Cue squealing.

Daily Candy Sold for 125 million

This amazes me.

I get most of my information about the hottest things happening in Los Angeles from Daily Candy. And, it does not cost me a dime! It's the smartest Internet business I have ever seen. I wrote to Daily Candy 2 years ago to see how much it would cost me to advertise Jonesie Cake on their newsletter. In their busiest month? 34,000$!!! It's amazing!

After buying the company in 2003 for what seemed at the time to be the enormous sum of $3 million, making founder Dany Levy a millionaire, Bob Pitman is now flipping for a $122 million profit. Not bad for a company that employs just 55 people and relies principally on the delivery method of email.

A simple idea, but the best part is they created a branding by hiring Sujean Rim too illustrate the emails.
