Kiss My Style
My name is Megan Calpin Hughes and I am the owner of www.KissMyStyle.com. Kiss My Style is an online boutique featuring unique handcrafted pieces by amazing designers & artists across the US & Canada. Not only do I own Kiss My Style, I also design for it too. My hand knits and other crafts are featured throughout the site.
I started showing my pieces at local craft shows a few years ago and in 2005 opened a website showing the pieces I make. It became a wonderful outlet for my work and I decided to expand my business to include other people's creative pieces. I wanted to create a place that would showcase fabulous gifts, with the ease and luxury of shopping from your home. In 2007 Kiss My Style was born.
My background is in commercial interior design & medical imaging marketing. I have spent the last 10 years in project management, marketing & sales both locally and also in New York City. But I have always been a crafter. Since my mom put the first pack of crayons in my hand, the bug bit and the effect was life long. Opening a business that brings my passion together with my skill was an easy task, promoting & marketing it has been a challenge. Being an online shop is more difficult than a brick and mortar, because people can't come in and see, touch and feel the product. Local craft shows have been a fabulous outlet for local promotion, however online advertising has been key to my continental success.
I have never represented or promoted a product I didn't believe in and creating a shopping boutique where every piece has been hand selected by me is the most amazing experience of my professional life. I take pride in my work and I admire the artist's pieces I sell. Everyday I am inspired to find new, eclectic pieces and meet amazing people. I have been blessed to be part of a Handmade Community that is so talented and inspiring and yet so lucky that I was able to take all of our passions and provide them to you in one convenient place - your home on your computer.
Check in frequently as the pieces are ever changing and growing. Products are diverse and vary from bath + body, hand knits, purses & pouches, candles, home accessories, jewelry and more. Custom requests are common and you will never leave wondering if you should look elsewhere. Kiss My Style is dedicated to fabulous shopping without leaving your home!

Hi! I'm Jinxi (aka Jinxi Boo). I'm happy as peaches in pie that I'm married to my best friend & a mom to three amazing kiddos!
I own my own business, www.mermaidsink.com and work as hard as I play. I am also a freelance writer and have been published many times. Most recently, I have been writing for Inland Empire Weekly Magazine.
I love being surrounded by creativity, music, art, great books, happiness, cupcakes, color, diversity, and unique people that live life by their own rules & don't fall victim to conformity.
I am an adamant activist for freethinkers, human rights, LGBT equality & gender equality.
My husband, children & friends mean the world to me and I treasure their vibrant, happy, colorful beauty SO VERY MUCH! The inspiration I receive from the people that really matter in my life are the sprinkles on my cupcakes!
I love getting tattooed and have a large collection of ink all over my body. I hope to continue as long as there is canvas left to color & design upon.
I have a Bachelors of Arts degree in Psychology and hope to continue with a Graduate Degree in Writing.

Diana Jones, Monterey, CA
I met Diana at the Fort Ord PX on the Monterey Peninsula in California several years ago. We instantly became friends and she has been a support to me, my Fat Thumb and Pink Heart Funds’ mission.
She supports the Pink Heart Funds by making these one of a kind jewelry pieces with a portion supporting the fund.
Diana has spent years with CFIDS, enduring its many symptoms and also enduring skepticism from family and friends. Despite her illness, it brings her great joy to design and make jewelry. For more info on CFIDS, click the bracelet picture on the left or call 1-800-442-3437.
Look for her jewelry and my Fat Thumb originals in California at the Old Monterey Marketplace on Alvarado Street on Tuesdays through the summer, the Seaside Blues in the Park on Sundays from July 8th to August 12th and other various shows in the area.

Tit Bits
For most women living with breast cancer, a great deal of energy and effort goes into just making it through the day. Everything becomes a battle, from coping with the aching scars, to dealing with the constant nausea and exhaustion resulting from chemotherapy or burn marks from radiation, to just getting dressed in the morning.
For women who have lost a breast to cancer, purchasing a prosthetic is often a priority but the experience of finding one that fits properly and is comfortable to wear can prove frustrating. It was because I couldn't find a prosthetic I liked that I started knitting my own. Soon, other breast cancer survivors were asking me to make them their own Tit-Bits and so "Tit-Bits: Hand-Knitted Breasts" came into being.
