Photo Shoots!

The past couple weeks have been filled with fun photo shoots of Le Fashion Truck, our mobile boutique!  I even stepped behind the camera to snap a few shots with my ever so fabulous business partner of Le Fashion Truck, Jeanine Romo.

Our first shoot took place in Griffith Park, by the whimsical eye of Juan / Eclectic State Photography.

Then we headed to the city and met up with photog superhero Alan Mura in Little Tokyo who captured these shots:

Important Announcement

For months now, we've been hard at work on a large project...something that will possibly change the way we shop...maybe forever!

We've been playing in the same sandbox as jewelry lines Alex & Vina and Dollhouse Republic, collaborating at local events, fashion photo shoots, and pop-up shops.  After many successful runs, we've decided to collaborate on a permanent basis!



Having done business in areas around Los Angeles and beyond, we've noticed one important thing about Fashion.  It's not just in the big cities, in those "select areas" where everyone gravitates...No Sir!  It's at the ends of the County, it's alive and kickin' on the East side, and it can be seen all over the Valley.  And after that, it's just keeps on goin'....Because Fashion is Everywhere!

So it was only natural that our boutique would be mobile, with the ability to visit all areas of Los Angeles...and beyond.  And that is the important announcement...the launch of our mobile boutique, Le Fashion Truck!



Featuring vintage finds from Yours Truly, we are proud and excited to stock the truck with clothes, handbags, purses, accessories and more!  Oh!  And did we mention our Bitchin' Stitchin' line will be available on a permanent basis?!

Ok, we can't help but give you a sneak peek preview.  Come by Thursday night, Jan. 13th, starting at 6pm in Downtown LA during the Art Walk.  We'll be opening the doors to the boutique for the first time and it's gonna be fab!  Just look for the pink fashion truck at 340 S. Spring St., in the food truck lot!

Swap-Bot Swap - Blog about my Blog

I'm known to enjoy a good swap now and then, and here's the latest swap I participated in on Swap-Bot:

Blog about my Blog - the name says it all!  Participants were assigned 4 partners to write about, and I've already written about 1, so here are the remaining 3:

Piscean Mama, Sanity's Overrated

aside from being a great writer with grammar skills, Piscean Mama does some fantastic book reviews.  Unlike most book reviewing blogs, she actually gives you the premise so you know what the heck is going on!  Please, Piscean Mama, show the others how it's done!  It's not until the last paragraph that she gives her personal opinion about the book.  She's also a proud mom of 2 boys and doesn't get stuck with meaningless tasks, such as a spotless house.  She'd love my wall plaque that says: My Home is Clean Enough to Be Healthy and Dirty Enough to be Happy.  Keep it up, lovebug!



Host of this blog swap, Bobeez and 8r1id is a mother, a crafter, and a crafter.  And a good one, too!  She writes in 2 languages, and again, fantastic grammar!  lol.  One thing I LOVE about Christmas are the ornaments.  My personal favorites are vintage and handmade ornaments...so you can only imagine how in love I am with her ornaments.


She was also featured in a Danish glossy for her Ipad covers, which are made from old Dutch postal bags.  LOVE 'EM!








And last, but definitely not least, is crafter and scrapbooker (I think I made up a word) Coleen Franks.  She has a store on Etsy selling Vintage goodies and finds from other countries.  This blog shows her life, art and mission in Ukraine and this one is all about her and her families work with God and the community.  We need more people like The Franks!

A Giveaway a Day 'til Christmas!
