Recession Smeshession. Well maybe not literally, but while It’s quite clear that the past couple of years have been a struggle for the luxury goods market, the ‘high-rollers’ still seem to be rocking their designer foulards and purses…but how?
Now I’m thinking - the best business plan that I could come up with is something that...

The power of the internet…
I’ve been fortunate enough to be born in a generation that relies on this fabulous technology. The internet, a.k.a. the World Wide Web, a.k.a. the technology that allows me to purchase products ONLINE.

Real or Faek?

vrai ou FAUX?
Good morning beautiful followers…
So I’m trying to figure out how to approach this topic of Real vs. Faux fur. I have to admit I may not always be the BEST at defending my position, but I’ll do my best…
On October 30th (my fabulous day of birth), I wore a fur vest to my dinner and got my closest girlies talking. “It’s so soft”…”Is it...

Cray for Hudson's Bay!
Good evening loves,

Here’s the chance I have to truly express my...
