Sometimes finding fabrics is the hardest part of my business. I don’t buy wholesale. My collection is an ever changing, ever so slightly morphing everyday. This means I have to find jobbers, reps or retail stores where I can buy just 2 or 3 yards of fabric at a time.

New year, new fashion weeks popping up all over. We were happy to learn about Dallas Fashion Week from one of our darling designers, Brandi Russel of Sacred Heart Collections. The festivities began yesterday, Jan.16 and go through Jan. 22. Brandi will be unveiling her collection Thursday, Jan. 19, 2012. As always wish we had at least a dozen or so of ourselves so we could see every one of our designers on the runway. We are with you in spirit Brandi!

If you are interested in reading more about Dallas Fashion Week, I found this post on DFW Style Daily. We welcome feedback about this event from anyone who attends. It helps us get the word out to indie designers.

It’s January. The calendar just flipped to a new year. This always makes me get a little dreamy. I dream about what will be in the months to come. I dream about all the goodness to happen. I dream about where I want to be in my life. I think about the 12 months I have before me to reach my new goals and make things happen. This always seems a good time to me to have fun with my wardrobe too. I like to buy something might not wear to the office … something just for me that reminds me the whole year to keep dreaming.
