Designer Profile: Sodaliscious

sodaliscious-2 by Farrell Kramersodaliscious-6 by Farrell Kramersodaliscious-10 by Farrell Kramersodaliscious-8 by Farrell Kramer

Escapism, striking, exotic, different, theatrical ... These are the adjectives I'd use to describe the line Sodaliscious.

Sodaliscious is the brain-child of designer and fashion stylist/production consultant Cindy Renée Matthieu. Catching the fashion bug early on, Cindy taught herself to sew at the age of 12, with her stepmother's help. She also was active in dance, modeling,visual arts and designing costumes for school plays. Cindy received her formal training at Ryerson Polytechnic University and the International Academy of Design.

The name Sodaliscious is based on the concept that everyone is "unique and so delicious in their own way".

Cindy's long history of involvement in the arts has definitely influenced her designs. Her roots in dance contributes to the movement of each design. Her costume experience brings a historical reference and "wow" factor to the intricate designs. Sodaliscious is for the person who is confident, not afraid to stand out.


Cindy has garnered many achievements including participating in L'Oreal Fashion Week, and having her designs featured at the Oasis Celebrity Gift Lounge at Toronto International Film Festival and Nolcha Fashion Week: New York.

Her couture gowns (25 total) were featured in the Winter Pre-Emmys Experience Celebrity Style Lounge.

Hard-to-Find Beautiful Jewelry


I have known about JR Dunn, a great source for hard to find beautiful jewelry for well over three years. I was very happy with my purchases from this site. They offer the three things I love;
  • rare, stunning pieces
  • great customer service
  • fast delivery
So when they contacted me, I didn't hesitate to agree to do this feature.

I know I already said their designer pieces are beautiful and rare. One example is the brand Mikimoto Pearls. This brand was founded in 1893 and specializes in South Sea and Akoya cultured pearls. PLUS the brand was featured in Sex and the City.


To see the collection, go to: Mikimoto Pearls
