Reware VintageI’m in denial that it is snowing like mad here in Michigan, and in hopes of inspiring Mother Nature to bring me some warm weather, I listed all new spring wear this week! C’mon, even 40 degrees and rain would be acceptable…pretty please? Rock over London, Rock on Chicago!
I’m so excited to have been featured in MetroMode’s article “Metro Detroit’s Homeprenuers” today! Reporter Amy Kuras was so great to talk with – it was one of the easiest, most fun interviews I’ve ever had, more like a conversation with an old friend than an interview, really and photographer Marvin Shaouni was fantastic (and [...]
Although IOU is often thought of as “80′s clothing”, IOU sales were really at it’s peak from 1989-1992.

I haven’t been around the past few days because I’ve been dealing with some major sickness, and haven’t had the energy to do much of anything at all. Hoping I’ll start feeling better soon, and I’ll start writing again as soon as I do! Till then, take care everyone!
