In the Spot Light: Spaghetti n Lipgloss

So what's the first thing you think of when you hear "Spaghetti N LIPgloss?" I'm sure your mind goes crazy trying to think of how the two could possibly be connected. When I caught up with Designer/Owner LeighAnne Boyd...lets just say it all came together :-).

NAME: LeighAnne Boyd
TITLE: Head Designer/Stylist/Creative Concept/Director of Sales & Events

LOCATION: Chesapeake, Va

This has to be my first question, how did you come up with the name!?

Well Spaghetti N LIPgloss derives from my whole being. As much as I'm well liked by most, I feel I don't have a place in a certain group. Everyone loves spaghetti and everyone loves lipgloss, but they don't fit in the same categories. That's me.

How would you describe your sense of fashion? What inspires you?

I would just describe my style as blind and all over the place. I don't watch videos and listen to much radio (mainstream) so my inspiration comes from what I like mostly. The rest is from my mother way back in the days. She had a different sense of style and I often mocked her vision.

How long have you been designing? Was it difficult for you to get started?

I've been designing for a few short years. It wasn't really hard to remember what I learned in middle school. I bought my first sewing machine 11 years ago and returned it months later because I felt discouraged. People thought my style was weird and at 19 I cared what people thought. It took time to not care and realize that I had something special. Indifference.

If you had to pick something you LOVE and something you HATE ind this area of business, what would they be?

I love the support and compliments. It's cool to look online or walk around and see someone wearing my pieces!!! I hate the jealousy from the girls and boys who want to be designers but lack creativity, so they bite. It's really annoying to see posers profit from anothers designs.

What can all the ladies out here expect when they shop Spaghetti N LIPgloss???

The ladies and boys (yes I have some divas too) can expect quality handmade (assisted by my machines), dope, originality...exclusive pieces!!! I follow no seasons, just dress how I feel...There will probably be only a few people with similar pieces and that's it.

To see alot more of her work and purchase some exclusive pieces, be sure to visit her website!
