    No Ugly Sweater Please, Holiday Fashion Style Should Be More Chic

    I am not sure when and how is the ugly sweater idea from. I know it’s somehow a fun tradition for people to follow – being silly and laugh together. For this reason, I totally respect and agree with. Being fun and silly sometimes is kind of healthy, right? But, I don’t really think ugly sweater should be the only choice to dress up for holidays. Some people want to look cute and chic. Winter is not easy to dress up since we need to wear warm coats, and sweaters. How can thick outfits be fashionable? Uhmmmm, you should take a look of Lucy Paris.

    A sweater dress is my first choice to look nice and the same time keep warm. I would love to recommend my favorite winter dress to you. This Mana Knit Dress is thick material but not too heavy, it has unique cute designs of the sleeves and the bottom part of the dress. The classic grey color makes it can easily match with a lot of different styles of bags, shoes and accessories.

    By the way, my photo with Lucy Paris’s dress is featured on “WEI HAI” Magazine in China. Of course this is one of my favorite un-summer dress. It is classic, comfortable and just in style!

    Sigfus Designs: The Jewelry Brand Embracing Inclusivity with American-Sourced Materials..

    It is never too early to shop around for beautiful and unique holiday gifts. Local designs always catch my eyes more than the market brands since myself is an artist, I love artistic products. Today, I would love to introduce a jewelry brand that has very unique and cute designs. It is not only good for the holiday gifts, but also for birthdays, anniversaries or any other reasons. Sigfús Designs creates fun and whimsical pieces that are as uplifting as they are lightweight to wear. In these tough times, this jewelry designer believes no matter how hard life can get, a bold pop of color and a beautiful statement piece can be just what you need to take on the day — no matter who you are.

    Handmade in Tucson, Arizona, this earring-focused collection is a little bit desert, a little bit retro, and a whole lot of rock and roll. More importantly, Sigfús Designs is an all-inclusive brand. Meaning that every ethnicity, size, shape, etc. can truly rock these trendy pieces.

    Sigfús Designs offers the earrings that look ceramic but are actually made out of American-sourced polymer clay. Why use this material? Not only is it lightweight to wear, but it’s very durable with less chance of breaking. 

    Sigfús Designs owner and maker Lauren Valenzuela sees polymer clay like an artist does a blank canvas. She makes each piece of clay into a unique accessory and even mixes her own colors using spices such as Turmeric and alcohol ink. Some earrings also incorporate resin, wood, lucite, wire, and other elements.

    Some of her best-selling earring styles include:

    · Large Wishbone 

    · Stella 

    · Moonchild Dangles

    Sigfús Designs is sold in over 200 shops and boutiques nationwide as well as overseas. For more information, visit https://www.sigfusdesigns.com/.

    My Favorite styles:

    PNEUMA ARCH
    $28

    The earrings are made of polymer clay and brass, they are light on the ear and finished with titanium, nickel-free ear posts. All earrings are designed and made in my Arizona studio. Please mind the handmade nature of all Sigfús jewelry, slight variations may occur compared to the picture.

    LARGE WISHBONE EARRINGS
    $40

    Measurements
    2.75 inches height x .1.5 inches width

    The earrings are made of polymer clay, they are light on the ear and finished with titanium, nickel-free ear posts. All earrings are designed and made in Lauren’s Arizona studio. Please mind the handmade nature of all the jewelry, slight variations may occur compared to the picture.

    About Sigfús Designs:

    Founded by Tucson, Arizona native Lauren Valenzuela in 2018, her brand name Sigfús is a family name that traces back to her Icelandic roots, paying homage to her lineage. Lauren began working with polymer clay and her craft has only expanded. As a believer in diversity and inclusivity she takes her restaurant and foodie background with her into the jewelry making process adding turmeric, black pepper, and dried herbs to her designs. Her business is also community-oriented offering business mentoring and online classes.
