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.
Designer of gorgeous wedding gowns. I even wore one of her designs to my own weddings.
Cute Jelly shoes for adults and now babies (see last weeks post)
Super cute design templates.
Amazingly life like stuffed animals
Delicious and adorable mini cupcakes in NYC.
Stylish laptop and travel accessories.
So what's in a name?! I guess a lot.... pressure much?!
Accepting name suggestions from non-relatives.

Melissa Shoes + Vivienne Westwood = Jelly Shoes for Babies
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.

We are happy to know Melissa's around the world are doing their part in taking the ordinary and making it extraordinary!

Ipad hits stores... MB has the perfect outfit
The ipad has finally hit Apple stores in the United States.
And of course, Melissa Beth has a solution for this new Apple device!
Our 10.2" Pretty Printed Laptop Sleeve is the perfect size to safeguard the sleek ipad.
Although I am still not crazy about the name "i-pad", I am sure most women feel the same, the device sold 700,000 on the first day- and approximately 1 million over the entire weekend.
As a comparison the iphone only sold 270,000 opening weekend. So it seems as though the ipad, despite its name (sounds like a feminine product) is here to stay.

BisBuzz: Tip of the week
Small business owners:
My tip to you, is "when you can - pay by credit card!"
Charge it! It may not seem like an obvious choice, but credit cards offer many benefits for small businesses
1) If you do not get your goods/products/services you ordered from a company
Maybe they went bankrupt THIS RECENTLY HAPPENED TO ME!, or they just failed to ship you the goods or your products just arrived damaged. If the company will not fix your problem you can file a chargeback and in most cases you will win.
2) You get an extra 30 days on paying your credit card bill
3) You may get points for air miles or travel. Why not get a free trip somewhere when you spend money?!
4) You will have an extremely accurate record of your expenses
5) Build business credit.
"A small business credit card provides a newly established business the opportunity to build business credit. This will be useful in the future as your business grows and you need capital in the form of credit lines or loans". Although you may not need a line of credit or a loan, you may need it one day in the future and building your credit can help you in the future when you grow your business.
However, make sure you pay your credit card bill on time, as credit card fees can be extremely costly!

This ultra chic boutique is carrying the complete Melissa Beth collection.
Bina, Quintesstional's owner says "Our store is a multi-brand handbag and jewellery store we introduce new brands, looks and trends before they hit the mainstream. Some of the lines we have bought may have been just on the verge of media acclaim - Dewi Kroell, Botkier, Fiona Paxton, Kotur over the past few years. Our customers enjoy the pleasure of owning new "discoveries" and labels. We specialise in the unique, the quirky and the cool and because we buy in limited quantities they also enjoy being the only ones on this tiny island carrying or using their "discovery"."

ipad- cool tech gadget OR feminine hygiene product?
source: CNN.com
San Francisco, California (CNN) -- Punch lines about hygiene products flooded the blogosphere on Wednesday only moments after Apple Inc. announced it would call its new touch-screen computer the "iPad."
"The mocking goes along the lines of: Yes, the iPad is small, lightweight and slim. But can you swim with it?" wrote the Los Angeles Times' tech blog.
The term iTampon -- a riff on the fact that the iPad can be taken to sound more like a maxipad than a slick new computer -- was the third most-talked about trend on Twitter on Wednesday evening.
Some female bloggers wrote that Apple seemed not to have any women on its marketing team
"With "iTampon" quickly emerging as a trending Twitter topic, it's probably safe to say that many women found themselves cringing as they asked, 'Do any women work at Apple?' " wrote Annie Colbert on the blog "Holy Kaw!"

InStyle's Best Dressed at the Grammys
source: cnn.com
All eyes were on Lady Gaga at this year's Grammys and, as expected, pop's newest sensation pulled off something most unexpected: a partnership with the last designer anyone would ever have dreamed of pairing her with -- Giorgio Armani.
In fact, the self-installed Queen of the Fame Monsters, whose crystal-shard-in-your-face stage antics are as deliberately avant-garde as they are rivetingly entertaining, was outfitted not once, but three times in out-of-this-galaxy Swarovski-drenched outfits by the venerable white-haired lion of Milan.

Apple's Ipad
The curtain has been unveiled. Apple launches their ipad (which looks like a cross between an iphone and netbook"
So why is this the next biggest thing since this ipod?
- it is claimed to be "better than a laptop and better than a smartphone"
-the 10" screen will be lightning fast and will be the best browsing experience ever.
-it is pretty design savvy, looks like a larger iphone which has the same rotating and touch screen capabilities as the iphone
-its cheap, at $499, $599 and $699 Apple - a computer at Apple hasn't been this cheap since maybe the 80s. (when that would translate to like $2000+)
This baby will hits stores at the end of March. Want super chic ipad protection?! You know it Melissa Beth has a super cute 10" ipad sleeve. The soft inside lining wont scratch the ipod and the custom neoprene print will keep your new ipad fully covered.

Golden Globe Trends: How real people can benefit!
Come on, we all watched it... the Golden Globes, like it or not, predicts the trends consumers will crave for the next few months.
So besides the crazy cleavages that many celebs did not hesitate to bare (umm, Mariah you know what I am talking about!) mostly the Globes inspires our color choices and elements of design.
Top 3 trends
1. Neutrals
As seen by many celebs its okay to be neutral/sheer. It's sexy without baring it all.
How can real people follow this trend?
Its about simplicity with intricate fabrics, shapes and design.
2. Colorize your accessories
Check out Courtney Cox's and Julianne Moore's gorgeous earrings (I think they are the almost same, whose getting fired over that one!)
Both ladies are dressed in black, but know how that color and $100,000 earrings (or more) can truly make an outfit.
Real people can follow this trend?
Add pops of color to their wardrobe with pops of color in their bags, purses, shoes, scarves and jewelry.
3. Be unique
No celeb would be caught dead wearing the same dress as another leading lady. Have fun with fashion and give your wardrobe a touch of you. These celebs look like no one else and have embodied fashion in way that relates to their personalities.
How can real people follow this trend?
Be yourself and have fun with color and fashion.

Take the Old and Make it New
My love for design spills over into home decor. While I helping my cousin-in-law finish to redecorate his bedroom we found a gorgeous antique lamp in his house.
It reminded me of my gorgeous antique tea cup collection but the lamp wasn't quiet right. It was a bit funny looking with a high misplaced candleabra and its extra tall structure. I loved the components of the lamp so much I was determined to take apart the lamp. A quick call to grandpa and he told us how we could easily pop off the light socket and take all of the hardware pieces off the lamp.
We ended up with a gorgeous unique lamp (see attached final product poor quality picture) that added a soft touch to his modern industrial-style furniture pieces. Don't be so quick to chuck out the old and replace with new. You can re-design them to work with your home. I guess the saying "everything old is new again" is very true!
