Santa Claus is Commin 2 Town =)

Personally, Christmas decor before Thanksgiving has always been a little overkill for me... But alas, the retail world has changed me!

I've held out for as long as possible, but the lights and shiny ornaments and garland have officially sucked me in.

I must say I'm feeling a bit more cheerful just looking at the first wave of decorations!  All the glitter may have something to do with that!! =)

Oh and I finally got my logo in final for the window... Very happy to see my window paint version come down! =)

It's official! The warm weather is over and Fall's chilly days are here.  Time to find the perfect jacket to compliment your style.

    Toggle Jacket / $72 (Sizes S - M - L - XL ) Faux Leather Jacket w/ removable hoodie inset = $58

Don't forget that EVERYTHING is 10% OFF through the end of October!

Very Productive Day!

Got an early start (or early for Matt & I)... All but 1 rack is up and 90% of my inventory is hung up or unwrapped.

Found a great deal on a rug for the dressing room and a cute new lighting fixture... Next step is to hang the hooks and add a little something more to the fitting room.

Lastly, we took down all of the window coverings so people passing by could see in!  Since it was so gorgeous out today there were lots of potential customers out and about! =)

 
 

Hanging, Hanging, Hanging!

8 More boxes of shipment came in last night so I have been hanging things up left and right!  The Grand Opening sign will be going up shortly... Not looking forward to getting up on the roof though!

Hope you enjoy the pix of a few of the dresses!

 

9 Days to go...

Spent all day at the store yesterday.  Painting is complete!  ADT is installing security today so that I can begin setting up my inventory!

I set up most of the POS system yesterday.  Today I will need to run through more of the training so I can begin to enter inventory into the system and print out barcodes.

I also need to....  Order the Grand Opening sign, order the awning, print discount cards to had out for the GO, hang the racks, find a table for the front of the store, finish the window decor, clean and figure out how / who will put up the hanging racks for me!!  Good thing I had an early start today...

16 Days .... But it's mine!

I am quite possibly the happiest person ever right now.  The only more exciting thing I could imagine would be my wedding day and the birth of my children (hoping that the latter is still but a gleam in my eye)...  Anyway... I signed my lease!   Kate, the owner/ landlord, is probably the sweetest person ever!  I love when someone can share in the overall happiness, and she seemed truly happy for me which was very awesome!!

My little lamb Lija was there for the fun, and to help me move in some of the railings and bars that will be put up to hold the racks.  It was very surreal, and I didn't want to leave.  But of course, celebratory drinks were needed! Oh and $1 tacos at Brothers (YUM!).

Tomorrow I will be trying to finalize the rest of my orders from wholesalers, order shopping bags and hangers oh and to switch the utilities into my name.  I feel that work will be even harder than usual (if that is possible) because all I want to do is set up my decor items and situate things.  I still have to attend the IHLA Under 30 event at Tastings tomorrow (not that I'm complaining about $10 in free wine tastings), but I think I'll be spending the rest of the evening setting up what I have so far!

It's starting to come together!  So glad to get to a part of this process that depends solely on my efforts and not the discretion of bankers, realtors, etc...
