Good news at the Mix!

So FINALLY there is some good news at the Mix! The receivers have significantly lowered our rents.. and it is about time. I guess that they realize that if we all leave as tenants, they are going to have to re-tenant it at the going rate anyway so they might as well work with their existing clientele. This is great news, especially going into summer.. Rent is not the biggest drain on finances (no surprise, that honor goes to inventory) but it is significant and monthly and it really makes me want to stay here now that the rent is lower. I have considered moving but really, I would have to set up in another area and go thru all the crap associated with that. Now, if personal issues in my life force me to do that, I will but for right now, this place is good... oh, and I got more cowboy hats in! They are soo darn cute and each one is made specific for my store.

I just wish it was November already and getting a little chilly.. this heat really BITES it.

Tie Dye!

So.. I am in love with tie-dye. There. I have said it. And, I am actually even embarrassed to say that I remember it from the 70's. But that tie-dye was hippie, Grateful Dead-attending, eye-searingly bright colors- serioiusly waaay too much. Now? Just night and day different. I have so many great colors in dresses in different styles.. ya gotta love it.

Michelle Jonas: One of my FAVORITE designers.. her stuff is amazing and sells out so fast.. great fits and just about anyone can wear them. We have got the open- back keyhole dress.. in turquoise and royal blue as well as persimmon and tangerine coming in at the end of the month. We also have the Long Irena dress which is hands down for me the sexiest long dress I have ever worn. Plus, it feels sooo soft.. modal cotton and it feels like I am wearing a nightgown. Right now we have that in the royal blue/turquoise and have it coming in lemon/lime and the persimmon/tangerine.. by the end of the month..

Upstyle: New designer from LA.. just got in her roll-over tube dress in dark purple/eggplant. Super sexy and versatile as you can wear it either as a dress or down at your hips as a long skirt. Plus, the price point on this one is super reasonable.. $119... this one you just can't miss.

So rock on and bring the 70s back.. but waay more hip!
