I know, I know it has been forever and a day!!!!!! Do I need to mention that 2009 has been mad? It went by in a blink of an eye. Let me give you some insight to my 2009.
January: Pamela’s birthday.
February: Met Fred the love of my life.
March: Amanda joining the Bleu Crew. Spring arrives with beautiful new clothing as well. Anna Sui out did herself this spring as well as 3.1 and Alexander Wang!!! Beautiful.
April: Fred’s birthday - What do you get a guy that you’ve only spent 2 months with? Where do you go? I got him a pair of AG jeans and a Warrior of Radness t-shirt from American Rag and took him to Il Sole. Amazing date. Got in some awesome lower priced lines - Jenny Han, Patterson J. Kincaid, and Young Fabulous and Broke just to name a few.
May: Georges 13th birthday. He is my 13 year old whippet. The Bleu mascot and my very loyal companion.
May 31st - Bleus 11th birthday!!!! Whoooohooooo
June: 20 % off the entire month for our 11th Birthday...Falling in love with Fred, and having amazing appreciation for all of my employees. My girl’s rock.
July: The first of Fall merchandise arrives. Do you believe it was a hundred degrees outside and we are getting sweaters in????
August: Bleus semi annual sale 30%-75% off. Fred and I leave for
The girls from the Hills filmed in the store, and Audrina Patridge does some filming for her website and her MySpace page in the store while I am gone.
September: Fall is here. The clothes are perfection. This is my favorite season in all of the years that I have carried 3.1.Phillip Lim. It is amazing. He did skinny black and green pants, beaded mini dresses, fantastic fur vests. Need I say more? It was wonderful. Kova & T were a top seller this year too. Pencey is someone to watch out for, and Elizabeth and James is a line we cannot keep in the store…It flies off the shelves. I go to NYC again to buy for Spring. I love Spring & Summer clothing. Nothing is better than a pair of 5 inch heels and a little summer dress. Very Feminine.
October: I open a Pop-up shop next door. Rachel Palley is the designer. Bring new blood to the area. Fun. See a ton of old faces. I have to tell you. That the Bleu client is a loyal, wonderful client that never stops shopping here. There is something so comforting about having these beautiful, strong, stylish women choosing your store to shop in. It’s the greatest compliment. Thank you to all of you. You are so special to me.
November: My favorite month. My birthday. Fred gave me a bike on my birthday. We rode all over
He took me to dinner at Asia de Cuba then we hung at the Sky bar. I wore my Camilla and Marc ballerina dress, with my Elizabeth and James tuxedo blazer with a pair of Jimmy Choos. Eddera butterfly necklace. He loved it.
The following Saturday was my girls birthday dinner. My only request was that everyone had to shimmer. Gina wore 3.1 Phillip Lim sequins jacket over her leather Geren Ford mini skirt. Jen wore a 3.1 Phillip Lim sequined back dress that is just beautiful. Lisa wore a ACT sequined mini with a Mara Hoffman top. Jeanine wore a
The Bleu Crew took me to East on
