MunekaWear Jewelry spotted in South Beach, Miami...             7.19.10
 
While browsing through my facebook, i noticed one of my lovely customers had posted a photo of herself  wearing the "swirve collar necklace" she bought from munekawear.com. Though her fabolous star glasses are not in my collection, I thought the neckalce looked amazing and it seems she had the right attitude for it. Her motto??... Ladies, don't be afraid of expressing  yourselves!

Updates...       6.21.10

I haven't wrote on this blog for a while but with great cause. I have been extremely busy with the company! Yes, I am talking about MunekaWear. I've been adding valuable great items to our line of clothing. We now offer glamorous accessories for any occasion. The new products that I've added to the site are high quality and a really good value. I use this type of jewelry myself and I love the bling and how long it lasts. When i buy gold or silver accessories from other clothing stores they always start to fade in color after a couple of uses. Not the case with the glamour accessories. I've had the same pair of rhinestone hoop earrings and Diamond cuff bracelet for two years and they still bling incredibly. No, Im not trying to convince you to buy them, but I endorse them for a reason. It is great quality, and a great price being that they are all plated in sterling silver. The same type & brands of jewelry are sold in other stores and websites for alot more $$. We also have a couple of make-up artists on board and we now offer makeup services for any occasion. Starting at competitive low prices and using quality products used by industry professionals. Some of the products are also available for sale if you just happen to fall in love with the products =) A New Collection of summer pieces are being designed and will be announced soon.

New Official online store coming soon...          4.17.10
 
I am working on creating a professional, safe and secure official store on this site so that you can have the convenience of shopping for your favorite outfit securely. Many more items will be available through the online store including beauty products.  More details to come within the next 2 weeks.     
        
NEW! FAN PAGE ON FACEBOOK ...      4.2.10
 
MunekaWear has a new fan page on FB. There you can not only click that you like the brand, but also view the many looks that I will be creating using fabulous makeup and MW fashions. I will share tips, my favorite products and combine my fashions with great hair and makeup to complete the look! Even if you dont have a FB account you can click on any photo in the widget below to view the albums.

New Spring/Summer design for this website ...              3.24.10
 
Upon returning home 2 days ago  from our beautiful vacation to the captivating island of Puerto Rico, I am still unable to shake off the impression it has left in my mind. With that inspiration I redesigned the colors, made a new banner and posted a pic of myself when in the island and viola! A nice springy theme with an array of summer colors. There's a reason they call it the island of enchantment =D
I cant wait to start a new collection...ahhhh! I love the possibilities

Flower Girls dresses DONE!! ...        11.10.09
 
Yay! I'm done with the 2 dresses. The only difference is the straps and the size. One is size 10 and the other a size 7. I've added pearls and crystal details for the sparkling effect and i love it. Pics will post soon!
 
 

Flower Girl Dress Update...        10.31.09

 I'm getting close to being done. As I stated before, I wanted to go with the one shoulder strap dress but the tulle skirting got too heavy from all the layers and started dragging the dress down. So i had to do a traditional 2 straps using lace applique. It's turning out great!

This is what we have so far...I'm adding beading details to the bodice and skirting like pearls and swarovski crystals and i should be done!

I have attached a photo of me at work on one flower girl dress (remember, I'm making two of them!). As you can see I've put the dress together now it's time for details,details and details! I chose this design... Satin bodice, tulle skirting and the pearl straps. I am thinking of adding the fashionable one strap detail. more detailed pics coming soon!

My Hiatus...                 July-September 2009
 
Hello everyone! my sincere apologies for me being M.I.A. for a while. After the 3rd annual show called MuñekaWear Experience,I have relocated and having children I've been busy taking care of life's errands.Plus I needed a break. I worked so hard putting the show and the fashions together, I was pretty exhausted. Just to let everyone know the fashion show in June went really well and I am grateful of those that came out in support. If you havent seen the photos of the show,  click here>>
I believe this has been the best collection and the most unique. I introduced the Muñekita Collection along with the Mommy and Me collection...everyone loved it! and true to Muñeka status, the MuñekaWear Experience was filled with Muñeka look-a-likes showing the New! Cocktail Collection. The videos of the show are still being edited and will post soon. It's been nice catching up and I will post to my blog again soon!

Comment: I ran into this website by mistake i think but I like it. I was looking for fashion forums for a school project. I go to Jefferson High in Tampa, FL. I saw other sites that didn't have alot of information. this web is pretty dope =)  I am going to the fashion show next spring. Have you heard about that?, maybe you could participate. Cant wait to see a new collection from your line. I submitted my email address in the home page to know about your shows. Thanks =)

Comments:  I went to a show you did in Orlando a while back. I think it's nice that you put sistas with weight in your clothes, they look real nice.
