Design Inspiration + Ice Cream

Mention the word ice cream and my ears perk up!

Well, how convenient that on a quest for some design inspiration Ben and Jerry's sponsored an article with resources to help inspire designers.

My two loves: designing + ice cream

Check out the link below for some great resources to give your creativity a jump start.

If that doesn't work - eat some ice cream!

Finally Jake gets it right

Finally Jake dumps Vienna... As if anyone is surprised!

Well, I am actually surprised how long it took for them to break up! And poor girl. Just when her hair was starting to look less "yellow".

Maybe Ali and Jake will somehow reunite?!

What's in a name?

In early October, or maybe late September, I will launch my most exciting product to date, my first BABY!! Bad joke I know, but I made myself chuckle. Designing this "product" was far easier than any MB product. (tee hee)

Lately, I find myself trying to find perfect name for my baby. Something classic, yet unique. Something everyone will love (ya right!) and something my child will one day turn to us and say, "thank you mom and dad, I love my name". Clearly I am delusional.

I started to wonder what is in a name?!

Melissa, for instance is means "honey bee" in Greek. But what does that even mean?!

Believe it or not, I've met dozens "Melissa Beth's" who all seem to be stylish, creative, fun-loving and colorful.

Is the name "Melissa" synonymous with being all these things? It might be?!

There are also so many designers whose name is Melissa that I adore.

Melissa Sweet

Designer of gorgeous wedding gowns. I even wore one of her designs to my own weddings.

Melissa Shoes

Cute Jelly shoes for adults and now babies (see last weeks post)

Melissa Davis Photography

Melissa and Doug

Baked by Melissa

Delicious and adorable mini cupcakes in NYC.

Melissa Beth

So what's in a name?! I guess a lot.... pressure much?!

Melissa Shoes + Vivienne Westwood = Jelly Shoes for Babies

People sometimes ask us if Melissa Beth is the same as Melissa Shoes?

Well, we are definitely not the same company!! But we do like her name!

With baby on the brain, I am loving Melissa Shoes and Vivienne Westwood's newest creation... Baby Jellies.
