selling our patience for perfection

patience is something that has been very valuable to us these past few weeks. perfection is perceptual, and to us, it means selling our patience for it to fully portray our creative ideas that we have slowly conjured in our minds for melou. unfortunate events impeding our launch date is the culprit to our delay. yet, with our meticulous personalities and our knack for hard work, we say screw the launch date, we're not settling or compromising our ideas for a quick buck. we admit, the path has not been a delighted road with candy cane trees, fluffy marshmallow clouds and gum drop flowers guiding our way. rather, it has been a tough journey constantly thinking of ways to jump over hurdles and work through obstacles. 

 watching our work grow from the inception of the idea to the tangible building blocks is a rewarding and self gratifying experience. with that said, we will continue to sell our patience until we have fully built the store we believe is perfect. meanwhile, here is a sneak peak of whats to come in the near future.

closet's hidden treasures

the other day i took on the task of cleaning out my closet and happened to stumble on an old romper.(love when this happens)

i purchased this at a local vintage store a few years back, before the romper made a come-back this past spring.

now... add the fall season staples of tights and/or socks + fur coat, and it can definitely stick around for the rest of the year!

on another happy note, melissa and i can't thank enough all the people involved with our final pre-launch photoshoot production...
