Mireya Villareal, Founder and Designer of Pink Pewter Collection, is worthy of a little praise. Her love of all things hair (which began in the salon), has evolved into a clear-cut ambition to accessorize and transform the looks of Hollywood celebritities and everyday women alike. We love Mireya's creative style and use of jewels for trendy tresses. And for a little Did-You-Know: her Pink Pewter headbands were featured in the Golden Globes Awards Celebrity Gift Lounge!
Her story:
Tell us about your very first job.
I was a shampoo girl in my mom's salon.

Where do you find your design inspiration?
From traveling around the world – I travel quite a bit and try to find the most unique beads and fabric in the most remote places and build the combinations based on international inspirations.

What's the best styling advice you ever received?
Always have a smile on your face. It makes you pretty in any kind of clothing.

What's your favorite spot for a design break?
My sun room. The natural light gives me energy. Sometimes I'll go for a walk in the local nature park and hug a tree.

How did you decide on your brand name?
My daughter actually named it. She loved the color pink (of course), and she used to call the "computer" the "pewter." So, since I was always on the computer working, the two words just merged together.
