Awww, this makes me feel so loved!

1. Best thing about owning a clothing boutiuqe - Several actually. I love to help people get the look that makes them feel amazing. I love to attend fashion week and research and discover new up and coming desingers. I love to merchandise my store :) I love being my own boss and getting to deciede what I want to carry. ( I used to be a buyer for a dept store , and we had very little freedom in this regard). I love that this was my lifelong dream and that it became a reality and has been so succesful.

2. If I could go anywhere on vacation right now it would be back to Cabo San lucas. I have traveled all over the world, but this is our fav place to go. We used to go 3x a year. But the last year and half has been so busy (we are opeing another location) that I havnt had a chance to go.

3.My Hubby and I are high school sweethearts. We have been together since we were 15. We actually grew up together and have known each other since we were 7. I am so lucky that he has been and always will be my best friend. :)

4. My fav comfort food. Jeez I have alot of them, however my favs are creme brulee and m&m's. I love them both!!

Thanks everyone! :)

My fav item in the store right now? Thats hard!!! I have so many! Vintage Anchor Blouse( sold this to anothe Ster- she can attest to how cute it is!) Rose gold silk bubble dress, Straight leg Velvet pants in Black and Grey & All our Adina Jewelry.

I do plan to take my boutique online. Right now I am very focused on my 2 retail locations. Plus I do personal shopping /stylist work for alot of out of state customers so I am REALLY busy.

My Fav color combos - Navy & Ivory, Choc & Mauve , I wear a ton of ivory with almost all my foundation colors. It is a great color for me.

My Dog - My baby. I adore her. I was hospitalized a few years ago and I almost died. My hubby bought her for me when she was only 6 weeks old. While I was recupirating at home she just slept beside me the entire time. SHe is a SHIBA INU, weighs about 20 lbs (full grown) with a pale cream coat. She is an escape artist, so I have to keep her with me all the time. Her breed is from Japan, and she is a very rare dog. She has an adorable personality and a curly tail (like akidas).
