Participating Designer Chelsea Belle – Chelsea Belle Designs
Chelsea Belle Designs was founded in Cleveland, Ohio by me (Chelsea Mueller) in February 2009. I began my fashion career in 1998 after graduating from Normandy High School. Taught the basics of textiles, sewing and knitting by my grandmother, I spent eleven years learning and studying fashion and the industry before starting my own label. In 2010 the collection expanded to include small accessories, followed by more extravagant wearable pieces and high profile custom designs by 2011.
The vision for my label is to create clothes that are both luxurious, fun and wearable, with a feminine but simple beauty about them. My touch is especially tailored: modern but never plain, fantastical but always rational. I skillfully manages the combination of sophistication and sensuality, with exceptional fabrics and highly perfected detail. I strive to make fashion that is timeless in its design. I am interested in what it means for something to truly be functional and fashionable. I always consider what will work at this moment, and to me this moment is about luxury without formality. Even at their most feminine, my clothes are not so precious or staid.
Thus far I have gotten a personally surprising amount of notice. I showcased in the Spring 2011 Cleveland Fashion Week Animal Protection League Benefit Show in Ohio City. Since then, the label and line has tripled in size. Most recently I showcased in a fantastic show called RAW Orlando.http://www.rawartists.org/ (A national organization) The outcome was enormous and very well accepted.
In August 2011, Juliya Chernetsky, a host for television and national music events, commissioned me to design an exclusive piece for her. The partnership forged an ever lasting friendship and expanded Chelsea Belle Designs out of Cleveland ensuring the continued growth of the company as a national brand while extending it’s long term vision of modern luxurious and functional wear with un-compromised quality.
Most currently, I have been designing costumes for Halloween and have decided to expand the company to design and participate in film costume design. I have a passion for the creative and I am really excited to begin this new venture!
ORLANDO, Fla. (FNN NEWS) – After four years of ongoing board meetings and delays to create a website, Supervisor and new Board Chair Daisy Morales announced Wednesday the launch of the Orange Soil & Water Conservation District’s (OSWCD) newly designed website, which can be viewed at www.orangeswcd.com.
State law requires all special districts, including the Orange Soil and Water Conservation District, to have their own website by October 1, 2015.
Supervisor Morales worked closely with Seat 5 Supervisor and Board Secretary Tiffany Dziekan to bring the website together. “Our website is an important online resource for individuals and government agencies seeking vital information on the district,” said Morales. “We will continue to tweak, change and update the website as new information becomes available.”
THE WEBSITE IN A NUTSHELL
The new OSWCD website is user friendly and includes a wealth of information on the district’s powers, and the duties and responsibilities of its elected supervisors. It even lists Section 582.20, Florida Statutes, which details the district’s powers, verbatim.
The site has links to various OSWCD activities, programs and projects, and shares links to organizational partners at the local, state and federal levels. It also details board meeting times and provides information on the governing Board of Supervisors.
ENSURING COMPLIANCE
The website was another step in Chair Morales’s mission to ensure that the district complies with the various state laws that govern the operation of special districts.
To that end, she is also proposing workshops for the elected supervisors, which would cover code of ethics for public officers and appointed members, public meetings and public records requirements, public finance and parliamentary procedures.
“It’s important that the district and its elected supervisors are in compliance with state laws and administrative rules,” Morales told Florida National News.

SUNRISE, Fla. (FNN NEWS) – Love was in the air at the Westchester of Sunrise Assisted Living Facility, which hosted a Valentine’s Day wedding ceremony to celebrate the beautiful love story of Stephen Haley and Sharon Guarino.
Some people call it romantic love, crazy love, or just plain old puppy love, but this kind of love did not have a time limit for these two seniors in getting married.
Stephen and Sharon attended Stranahan High School in Fort Lauderdale but knew each other and went different ways. It was nearly 50 years later when the two met at the same assisted living facility they chose as their new home.
Stephen was drawn to Sharon and knew he wanted her to have a special role in his life. On December 29, 2017, he proposed and Sharon accepted.
