Trunckshow.com L.A Chic

I have come to the conclusion that I'm really a L.A girl at heart, I love L.A Fashion and when I see something that I'm in luv with its usually from a L.A designer or its being worn by someone in L.A or from L.A, I think its the whole laid back style of L.A the way you can put anything on and it just looks so Chic, and if you read the about Trunckshow you will get a better understanding of what I'm talking about so if I had to sum up Trunckshow I would say its L.A Chic.....

Relaxation

So, I'm on a little weekend vacation from the everyday hustle and bustle and I'm in Vegas of all places to "relax" but I'm at the Element hotel which is 20min from the strip and very green, modern and spa like, right out of Elle decor magazine. It seems that when you are in the state of relaxation your mind is free and clear and your thoughts are roaming and you can really put your life in the order that you want it in, at least in your mind, and I'm thinking about Trunckshow.com and all the plans that I have for it and just how I'm going to make those plans happen, so when I get back my first stop is to lock in a marketing firm/person and map out the course that Trunckshow needs to be on in order to succeed, I'm really excited about the fall collection coming in and I need to make sure that Trunckshow has the marketing to put it on the map, I know its not an easy job and in this economy its a challenge but I refuse to participate in this recession, I refuse to give up! we need to continue to "live" ...............

Not so Fab

Well its been a really interesting week preparing for the Trunk show, I have been in contact with the jewelry company that I loved and that "Did Not" turn out well, when I contacted the sales rep to explain to him why I would not be able to purchase the order ( since it was 45 days late and I had already spent the allot ed monies to purchase other jewelry he was upset, and I totally understood that but in these economic times I'm not in a position to spend excess of what my budget calls for and once I didn't get the order I had to move forward with other options, Well that was not the case for them the sales rep put the designer on the phone whom I explain the same story to and he went ballistic! When I tell you my mouth was open when he finished his speech I couldn't e even comment because it would have been a screaming match so I kindly put TONE on and closed that chapter. I really wish things would have worked out differently but the laws have spoken.

Trunk Show

http://www.trunckshow.com

On Tuesday June 9,2009 Trunckshow.com will host its first Trunk Show at Salon 804 in Harlem, this is an invite only event where we will Sip and Shop and enjoy some retail therapy. Items from the boutique will be 20% to 50% off. Also we will be featuring T- shirts from Public Library's Samburu Project which donates a portion of its proceeds from the sale of these t-shirts to Africa in order to build water wells. If you have received an invite please be sure to RSVP.
I know I have been behind in updating, but as of today I'm on track updates will be more consistent, ok what have I been up to, well I went to the ENK show again last week and as always it was too much and too little time but I did get to speak with a rep from an unnamed jewelry company that I ordered beautiful chunky studded jewelry from that never got delivered, well upfront of course the rep was apologetic but the fact remains that the jewelry was 45 days past delivery and guess what? Still hasn't arrived, I will be calling on monday to absolutely cancel the order but that leaves trunckshow.com without some fab jewels, I'm on the hunt for a quick replacement, wish me luck or should I just wait it out? It is really fab..
