One Star Designs Clients Are Everywhere:

Here is Jerry Fedora, wearing one of our One Star Designs exclusive sparkly pocket watches from our men's line, posing for photos with Ms. Dita Von Tease herself.  This photograph was taken at Dita Von Teese's launch of her new signature cocktail 'The Cointreau MargaDita' at Rosewood Mansion on Turtle Creek on July 27, 2011 in Dallas, Texas.

Men Will Not Be Left Out Of The Sparkly Revolution ::

Don't think that because you're male that you'll be left out. I make man sparklies as well. :) I have a LOT of male clients. In the past I've done: custom bracelets, custom rosaries, my special pocketwatches, necklaces and also car necklaces. No one need go through life without custom sparklies!!! I have absolutely NO PROBLEM sparklifying you. :)

Here's Jerry Fedora wearing a One Star Designs custom pocketwatch creation.  It was made specifically for him.  He chose a gunmetal filligree pocketwatch from Tokyo.  The chains were specifically designed with the wearer in mind.  Just ONE of the multitude of sparklies we offer for the modern man.  Since we don't charge extra for custom work, you can literally have whatever your imagination can think up and even that which you can't.  In the past, our male clients have ordered custom bracelets, necklaces, rosaries, pocketwatches, wallet chains and even car necklaces.  There is no end to the custom work you can have done.  What better way to show the world just how truly unique you are? 

If you're interested in having some custom work created for you or would just really like to purchase something from our various men's lines... please let us know.  Also don't forget to add our facebook fan page to see all the current creations in progress.

Deep Ellum Outdoor Market :: March 19th, 2011

The Deep Ellum Outdoor Market this month was a complete and total blast.  It was an amazing event on a very beautiful day.  This month we had well over 800 visitors to the market.  I got to say "hi" to some old faces and also got to meet a lot of new faces.  A lot of sparklies found new homes.  I just can't say enough awesome things about Deep Ellum or the Outdoor Market.  If you have not had the chance to come down and experience it, and it is just that ... an experience,  then you definitely need to put that at the top of your list.  The next Deep Ellum Outdoor Market will be on April 16th, 2011.  We'll see you then!

One Star Designs :: Vending At Viva Dallas Burlesque -- Mardi Gras

Here's a photo of our vending table at Viva.  The sparklies were gorgeous and sparkling all night long.  Many found new homes to sparkle in.  We met so many great and amazing people last night.  The always gorgeous and amazingly talented Stephanie Hastings (A To Zed Photography) graciously took a few photos for me since I neglected to charge the battery in my camera. 

The show was perfectly presented and the entire thing was a whole lotta fun.  If you haven't had the chance to attend a Viva Dallas Burlesque show then you really must come out.  When you do... stop on by our table and say "hi".  Thanks to Shoshana Portnoy, Pin Curl Magazine and Viva Dallas Burlesque for putting on one heck of an amazing event!  Can't wait for the next one...

Victorian Saloon Girl Choker In Peacock ::

Inspired by and created for Vivienne Vermuth.  It's a cross between Victorian choker and saloon girl choker.  The colors are made up of light sky blue swarovski crystal beads, purple swarovski crystal beads, pale sea green  formed glass beads, blue glass beads with a deep violet opalescent glaze, larger faceted plum purple glass beads and very large light purple/blueish shaped art glass beads.  I also made a matching pair of earrings to complete the set.

Jewels A Saloon Girl Would Kill For ::

Just created a new design last night that was inspired by Vivienne Vermuth.  It's a cross between Victorian choker and saloon girl choker.  The colors are made up of light sky blue swarovski crystal beads, purple swarovski crystal beads, pale sea green  formed glass beads, blue glass beads with a deep violet opalescent glaze, larger faceted plum purple glass beads and very large light purple/blueish shaped art glass beads.  I also made a matching pair of earrings to complete the set.  Pictures soon ... promise.

Because Sparklies Can Cure The Blues ::

No matter what kind of day you've had... it always brings a sparkle to your day.  It's absolutely amazing just how much a bauble can brighten your day.  You could be having the worst day imaginable and then the sunlight will sparkle just so off of the swarovsky crystals in your earrings ... and suddenly that little glimmer and shimmer of sunshine has managed to melt away everything that broke down your happiness.

It may seem small and silly but a sparkle really can lighten both your day and your mood.  I know in this wild and crazy world, the stress will wear you down.  Constantly working, rushing and trying to do what three people couldn't do in one day.  You're only human.  Women should allow themselves moments of pampering.  It gets hard to do this when you're busy taking care of your family, home and work.  That's what is so great about our jewelry.

You can not only treat yourself to a luxurious treat but also not feel guilty about it.   I make sure to have a wide range of prices and styles so that everyone can find a "sparklie" that fits them.  You shouldn't have to decide between paying your bills and getting yourself something, especially in this economy.  That is a great reason why jewelry can be a wonderful way to pamper yourself! 

So if you haven't had a chance to peruse our jewelry in person then please feel free to take a moment or two to window shop at our online store.  Not only are the already created designs affordably priced but custom creations are as well.  You truly can have your hearts desire at an affordable price.

Stop by and peruse... we have something for everyone.

If you're interested in commissioning a custom item or two, then by all means please feel free to send us an email.  Our email is onestardesigns@gmail.com ... You're only a few moments away from that sun kissed sparkle that'll melt away your bad day blues.

One Star Designs :: Vending At Dallas Burlesque Festival

Dallas Burlesque Festival

The event was an absolute dream.  It was a night filled with gorgeous outfits, beautiful people and sparklies... of course.  This year it was held at the House of Blues Dallas location.  Since the past two years it was a sell out event, the organizers wanted to find a larger venue allowing more ticket sales.  Last night was a SOLD OUT event.  Around 1500 to 2000 people were enjoying the show.  That's an awful lot of people.

The organizers were an absolute dream to work with.  House of blues was such a beautiful venue to work.  The location itself is made up of multiple levels.  We chose to vend near the entrance on the upper level.  Because of this location choice, we not only had the attention of everyone that was entering to see the Burlesque festival but also regular restaurant patrons as well.  Which in turn, allowed us to triple our sales for the evening. 

The entire night was not only a blast to experience but a dream to vend.  We will most definitely be vending there next year if given the opportunity.
