by Melissa Ybarra of

A sunshiny collection that was inspired by

Melissa’s paintings that emulate colors from

sun drenched tropical islands. The brilliance

of the sun and water are reflected in touches

of metallic gold and silver. Mix and match

the jersey pieces with the cottons to make

fashionable tops, dresses and accessories.

Make a quilt that will brighten even the

darkest of days, and let the sunshine in!

Melissa Ybarra, the creative force behind Iza Pearl Design, spends her days awash in the fresh, fanciful colors and creations of her studio and playing with her two blue merle dogs, Mia and Ruby.

After graduating with a Communications degree from the University of Kansas and working a few years for the YMCA, Melissa found herself constantly consumed with the desire to create. She followed this passion South on the Chislom Trail and landed in Dallas, where she attended and graduated from the Art Institute with a BFA in Graphic Design.

With her art, she hopes to remind the world that life always has a fresh, fanciful side and that you’re never too old to play–be it with color, your food, your friends, or your purpose.

She draws her inspiration from everyday life—a Kansas sunset, sharing Texas-size nachos and a margarita with her mother and sister, combing the beaches of Big Sur with her husband, and drawing inspiration from design greats such as Lilly Pulitzer, Vera Neuman, and Josef Frank.

Melissa is excited to share the colors, whimsy, and fun of Iza Pearl Design with you, and she hopes that you will be inspired to fanciful dreams, whimsical living, and playful design!

Without these wonderful people willing to share their time, talents, and passion, these beautiful samples would not be possible.

I truly appreciate every stitch, snip, and second each one contributed!

Also, a giant hug and thank you to all the gorgeous models!! How lucky I am to be surrounded by such gorgeous friends and family who are beautiful on

the inside and out...and are willing to have loads of confetti dumped on them!

Lastly, a huge thank you to The Ramseys Photography for the gorgeous photos! You captured the Sunshine Serenade beautifully! Thank you!

A very special thank YOU to:
