Lolita is a nationally known celebrations expert, offering tips and advice on everyday celebrations. She is the artist behind "Designs by Lolita," known for her hand-painted wine and martini glasses.

The Story Behind Designs by Lolita: Designs by Lolita started with a girls' night out that was filled with more than the usual laughter and fun. Browsing through a martini menu for the first time, Lolita was inspired by the recipes. After being served a Cosmopolitan, her creative imagination envisioned the glass differently—dressed up with a pattern, flair, and a fabulous recipe on the bottom. This moment sparked the creation of her product line, reflecting the distinct personalities of her friends through colorful, hand-painted glasses.

She knew this was something she had to pursue and wholeheartedly did. The concept was developed in 2001, and after sketching, planning, and nurturing the line, the "Love My Martini" collection blossomed in 2004 to become one of the hottest gift brands in America.

Lolita's Design Philosophy: As a designer, Lolita sees something extraordinary in the everyday and ordinary aspects of life. She brings her vision into her products as a reflection of the Lolita lifestyle—a balance of fun, entertaining, and celebrating moments with special people. Lolita injects her energy and charm into everything she produces, always pushing her designs in a fashion-forward direction. She monitors trends, colors, textures, and attitudes from European runways, incorporating the latest inspirations into her unique ideas and style.
