Artistic Expression

I have been painting wine bottles and giving them to friends as gifts.   After much coaching from them, I decided to sell my wine bottle creations.   

I am selling my wine bottles.  I chose Etsy because it was easy to post you item, and I am hoping it will get plenty of exposure.   

Pictured is my first Etsy listing. It is hand-painted wine bottle.  The are shades of dark plum, to light purple.  The blending of shades is ombr-inspired.  I added crystals for shine. 

There are many more styles to come!  

If you would like to order one go to my Etsy shop:  https://www.etsy.com/shop/JacquelynZalar?ref=l2-shopheader-name or email me at JacquelynZalar@gmail.com

The wine bottle is $15 plus shipping.

Smart is the New Sexy

An smart person has wonderful insight and is constantly looking for ideas to explore and new ways learn.  A smart person looks for ways to grow while always learning lessons from the past.  A person with an interesting and intriguing mind is stimulating to interact with.   Intellect is so very sexy.

It seems like pop culture is finally catching up with what smart people have known all along.  The popularity of the tv show The Big Band Theory is a great example.  This show is so very well received, as evident in the ratings, but it is all about uber nerds. 

The Newspaper Association of America has launched a campaign "Smart is the New Sexy" in 2011 to encourage readership. 

All I can say is, ladies do not be afraid to flaunt your intellect, because as intelligent women have known all along, intelligence is fascinating.  Smart is the New Sexy.

Zac Posen Black Gown

I love this gown from the Zac Posen Fall Winter 2014 2014 Ready to Wear collection. 

Fitted at the bodice, with flairs at the hips, with a mermaid style cut. 

The cut is shapely, and the material is a shimmery, almost liquid black satin. 

I don't know if I would call it a LBD, but it is most certainly a gorgeous black gown.

Zac Posen's first runway way show was in 2002.  Born in 1980, this designer created a buzz around the fashion world. 

The designs price points vary from collections sold at Saks Fifth Avenue to Target.
