Thought of the week - Happy National Siblings Day!

It's National Sibling Day tomorrow! My mother always told my sister and I that siblings are the most ancient relationship on earth and that it is important to nurture it. I always remind my two children that when I’m gone, they will need each other and I remind them how important it is to take care of one another always. Dana is my best friend, my right hand, my support and my heart. She sees me before she sees herself and as an older sister, she always tries to protect me. The love she gives is pure and authentic. Siblings however, are not just those that we share a parent with but also those we build connections with in life...

Thought of the week - Freedom

It was Passover this past weekend. The Hagadah story is about Bnei Israel ("the children of israel") who lived and suffered in Egypt and their journey out of slavery to freedom.

Thought of the week - Working with a Millennials

Thought of the Week - welcome Chiara & Ozai-N-Ku

We always look for new designers to add to our family of brands. Every season we go out "hunting" and many times come back with nothing. For a brand to work we need it to bring fresh looks, novelty and something new for you to want to buy it. It has to ship on time and with high quality. We also want to work with good and kind people. Not an easy task to find. I am happy to welcome 2 new brands into our Fall 18 package. Ozai N Ku from Greece and Chiara from Italy. Here is a brief look at both. Hope you like them as we do. Happy Monday.
