Sequins, Fur, and Leather...Oh my!

Since the first post, my mom(we'll refer to her as MJ) and I have been busy opening our store, Five Hearts. We have been open 2 months, and I finally feel like I have a minute to breathe(hence why I am just begininning this blog). I would love for this blog to become not only about Five Hearts but the journey that I am currently on in my life. Owning your own business is one of the most exciting yet nervewracking things you can do for yourself. You are your own boss which means the successes and failures are all on you, ah! I'm just going to dive in and begin with my first blog post...

 The fashion scene is finally seeing glam, and we couldn't be more excited...

We did our buying for Fall this past Spring, and we couldn't have been more shocked with what we saw. We're new buyers, but we're also avid shoppers, so we were pleasantly surprised by the sparkles, sequins, color, fur, etc. from all the designers. Most designers have kept their palettes simple, shapes predictable, and textures ordinary over the past couple of years due to the downturn of the economy. That is until now...

Like I said, it is a breath of fresh air to see designers putting more interesting pieces into their fall lines. We just peviewed Spring and Summer on Monday, and we can tell you, without a doubt, the sequins are here to stay. Invest in a couple key pieces...MJ has a leather jacket from like 15 years ago that she pulled out of her closet and is currently wearing. Not to mention, she has Frey cowboy boots from when she was in her 20's...way before Frye boots became "Frye boots".  What's old can always become new again!
