When we first met Shmide, we were all so excited. Not only was it evident how sweet and kind she was, but her love of fashion was clear and she wanted to work retail! With her dreams of being in the fashion design industry, can you believe she found us?! How did we get so […]

No questions asked, I love to travel. I am off somewhere new every chance I get. In March I had the opportunity to go to Jordan as part of my Masters program at George Mason University in International Conflict Analysis and Resolution. (P.S., I graduated in May!!!!)

There are certain trends from my childhood that I never ever want to repeat. The list is long and embarrassing. I mean, I had an asymmetrical haircut and there are photos (thankfully, undigitized photos) to prove it. I remember seeing the cover of Teen Magazine and taking it to my mom with hands trembling and […]

As my daughter gets older, I realize she might be a little horrified by the way I dress. My sparkles, glitter, and animal prints I am sure used to be amusing. But nowadays, she might not like me to stand out so much. It would be interesting to see what she would like to actually […]

How is it that we are already announcing our summer sale? It just seems like only yesterday we needed to swap out our closets from winter to spring clothes. So why are we starting the sale so early? We know folks start to pack up and travel for the summer and we want to make […]
