CATCHING UP

THIS IS NOT THE LOOK I AM GOING FOR



WANTED THE BOW TO BE WIDER, COLOR SHOULD HAVE BEEN FUCHSIA,  LIGHTER FUCHSIA LINING, AND YELLOW SOLE

It's been a while,  well we are almost finish with the collection, about 6 more pieces to go. I am really happy with the collection! I let some of my friends have a preview and everyone loved it.  Oh did I say that the venue was confirmed about one week ago? I am very excited about that.
Some Media, Stylist, and Photographers are confirmed.  OMG!!!!! The shoes were done and some pictures were sent before they were shipped. Very disappointed the colors that I choose were not the colors used, so unfortunately I will have to put that on hold and concentrate on the actual collection.

Received my business cards today, LOVELY!!!!!  Hang Tags next week.
