New handbags update.

I have had a lot of emails lately over where is my new handbags? I just wanted to let everyone know that my handbag and accessories line is self funded. Which means by day I do freelance design gigs for other companies in the fashion industry. With that income I put it back into my own collection. As a freelance designer, the gigs come and go as they may, and some are far and few between, so I am able to run production based on how much work I can bring in as a freelance designer. Therefore a this stage, my collection is still very small and grass roots. It has developed organically over the past two years. I run the company from A to Z. I don't have any employees, its just me, myself and I. I am very thankful to all my fans and to the customers who purchase our products. Everything I earn goes back into the business to keep it going. I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE what I do for a living and I know I have the talent. My ultimate dream right now would be to get an Angel investor to invest in my company so I could hire an assistant and get a showroom in NYC and LA. I am exploring the possibilities now. With that said we have some new handbags coming out in June 2010. Stay tuned! In the meantime I really really appreciate all the people who purchase our amazing Italian leather accessories and your support. xoxoxo

Success.     This word means different things to different people.     My idea of ultimate success is doing what you love and being super successful at it.   An entrepreneur at heart, I have always tried to find a way to do what I love and make money doing it.   I have been able to do what I love and make a living doing it, but I have never been able to be make a killing yet.    I have started a few brands over the years but nothing has made it to top.   (I will try again.) However I run into people in real life that are often able to find that passion and make a killing while doing what they love.   One of those uber success stories is my neighbor Annie. For the past few years, I would often run into an attractive young blonde in our apartment building in La Jolla and we would exchange pleasantries.   Our exchanges were always related to fashion because she was always wearing amazing handbags and cute outfits.   She was super friendly and had an incredible wardrobe.     One d

We Don't Exist to Please People

  Don't allow anyone to take away your happiness or your life because they are not comfortable with the choices you have made in FOR YOUR OWN LIFE.  The  title is a bit misleading. I don't exist to please people. It took me a long time to figure that out. One of the main things I noticed after I was about 30 years of age and got married was that I had a lot of people noticing how I lived my life, my career, my house, and basically everything in general. Before I got married I was a bit of a nomad and traveled all over the world. At that time, if people were judging me, I was too busy flying to Thailand or Amsterdam to notice, and my house was a rented room on the beach in Los Angeles.  After I got married, the criticism started rolling in like Thunder. First, it was, my apartment or house was not big enough. (sorry rent is sky-high in Los Angeles), then when we bought our first house, it was still not big enough. Then, I got a dog, a pug named Rocco, and my condo was not clean
