Well... I'm doing a little better with keeping in touch. My last post was 2 weeks ago, so they're getting closer together slowly but surely! Let's aim for no more than a week this time. ; )

This week has been one of the CRAZIEST I've ever had in terms of being busy. I was supposed to go to L.A. last Friday and had to postpone my trip. I was sooo upset at first, but everything piled up at once and I learned something valuable that's been told to me over and over for as long as I can remember: Everything happens for a reason!

I spent the week working on a new promotional postcard/flyer to pass out and leave at different places. I also took new pics for the fall/winter homepage flash animation. The best part about the week was last night's fashion show at Liv. The creator of Gold Saturn, David, who has become a good friend of mine, had a fashion show featuring his new collection. The sequined shorts and leggings for the show were provided by "yours truly" and I have to say, they went really well with David's Parisian-themed tees, tanks and tank dresses.

You'd think I would have a second to breathe in between, but nooo. Now I'm getting myself ready for an interview on Monday. I'll be on NBC live talking about fall's greatest fashions under $200 (for you and your dog lol) and I'm so excited that I get to take my lovable, cuddly baby girl Shiloh! This will be her tv debut and she is going to look FIERCE in a new pyramid studded collar and leash from Auburn Leathercrafters. Tune in Monday morning (Oct. 26th) to the South Florida Today Show on NBC at 11 a.m. to hear me talk about Dolce Vita shoes, Elizabeth Cole jewelry Linea Pelle wallets and more!

Wow... I've neglected my little blog for FOUR WHOLE MONTHS!! I feel like such a bad blogger. :( Although I can't promise not to do it again, I will try my hardest to keep you guys updated every week!

The past few months have been a blur for me: I hired a new web designer, I hired someone also to optimize my site and I am seeing lots of great changes very fast! Stix and Stones had its first Daily Candy experience in August and we had an amazing number of hits in one week.... 8,000! I was literally blown away. We had a little taste of local press at the beginning of this week, Stix and Stones was featured on NBC Miami's shopping column!

I flew to NY a few weeks ago for Coterie and saw some amazing pieces for spring 2010! I saw some great stuff from lines I already carry: Matt Bernson sandals, Foley + Corinna bags, Citrine by the Stones jewelry, Dolce Vita shoes, etc. and I'm excited to be getting some new lines: Ash shoes, Local Celebrity tees and loungewear, Give and Take Tees, Botkier bags and shoes, Nine Days Denim and MUCH MORE!! I had such a fun time in NY, but my trip was way too short! I'm excited though, because I'm headed to D+A in Los Angeles (my fave place in the whole wide world) next weekend and I'll have a little time for work and for play!

Gotta run, I have a meeting with David from Gold Saturn in about an hour and I'm sooo looking forward to previewing his new collection! Can't wait to have his tees and dresses at http://shopstixandstones.com!
