We love it!

Like Randy Newman once said, "We love LA"! It may have taken us a while to arrive at this conclusion, but after many fact finding missions and glorious thrift store scores we've decided that the city has been kind to us. Even the long drive gives us an opportunity to chat and tell each other stories we've never heard. After you've been hanging for 17+ years (living together for much of that and owning a business together) it is a pretty amazing thing to hear new tales to add to each others character profiles. That and Stacy has the best stories!

On this particular trip we were scheduled up to the nines. One of our missions was to crack a few heads in the garment district, sometimes you just have to meet face to face with people to make them listen and do favors for you.

Next up we recently tried to figure out the animal that is all over printing. We took at tour of this facility and were pretty stoked on our findings. It remains to be seen whether we will take the plunge into printing but i thought folks might want to see some photos from the "inside". I personally was loving the 6 foot tall screens.

Customer of the Day!!!

We had a very special customer come in today. After drawing on our sidewalk with chalk, dancing to the Kinks in the store, and getting 2 pretty dresses for her mom, the fancy lady finally got her shopping bag and left to take a well needed nap.
Thanks for stopping by today Ella!

Back to the Future

Keeping up a blog is no easy feat for me. I keep spacing on the password to blogger, losing my camera cord (still can't find it and have so many amazing blog posts tied up in there), throw in a lost key here or pair of baby tennis shoes and mama's blogging time has more than expired. I'm thankful though that some things are still easy to find.



First up we've been very busy. Between creating Spring 2010 (we have to do this 6 months in advance), producing and shipping Fall/Winter 2009, we've also opened a tiny shop. People (mostly seniors) ask me why on earth would we do this in this point and time? I answer it's actually a product of the times. We were renting space for just a few hundred dollars a month less in rusty, dusty cold factories and we were unable to meet our customers first hand. Not able to make awesome parties or have proper dressing rooms. 1767 Church Street which will act as our design office, retail shop and party place. We are still hammering out all the details but we would love for you to come by and visit. We are closed monday open 12-8 Tuesday through Saturday. Open on sunday until at least 5pm. We will post store hours on the site soon...

I don't have proper pics of the shop 'Curator" but will be posting them real soon. For now you can read about the shop here on the 7X7 blog.




Above is a glimpse of our spring 2010 line that almost swallowed us whole for the 3 long months of summer. Good thing it was completely worth it!

I leave you with Julian cuteness and the intent to be back again before too much time passes!

Oh my Minnesota!

I've just returned from a 5 day jaunt to Hastings, Minnesota! It was high-time to introduce my son Julian to his Great Grandma, Uncles, Aunts and Cousins. Julian was awesome, he fell asleep right before take off, truly taking after his mama.


There were long dinners, drives, unexpected meetings with old friends, baffling road construction and lots of Wii games. The major heartbreak is our overly friendly child lept into all of their arms except his Great Grandma Dorothy (88 years young). We will return soon for another visit just to remedy this! I can't wait until I can demand compliance....

Day three we checked out Edina - a cute little suburb of Minneapolis. Linda, our host fixed us the most delightful sandwiches with her homemade pickles. We took a walk around her cute neighborhood, and I dipped in for a quick drink here with the Nagayama brothers. Always a good time with these two, for certain there will be some sports and bathroom talk. Well and the best laugh this side of the Mississippi.






I have to say that this trip once again reaffirmed that people in the Midwest are beyond nice. I know i'm generalizing here but after growing up in a big city the difference is palpable. We had nothing but love and sweet interactions with all those we encountered.

It's back to the grind for me (I should be asleep!) so I will leave you with Grandma's Dorothy's needlepoint which pretty much sums up my current condition.

Sofie Ølgaard

We love us some Sofie. She's been working with us for the last three years and we are so lucky to have her. Her new Spring 2009 Collection is now online and we for certain are in love!




Check out this write up in Daily Candy below.

Sofie Ølgaard’s Online Boutique Launches

You know what they say about the Danish: A moment on the lips, two extra hours on the treadmill.

Indulge your waistline (without the guilt) with local designer Sofie Ølgaard’s new spring collection, now available online.

After completing fashion studies in London and putting in time at She-bible, the Danish up-and-comer wowed at the Gen Art fall premiere and launched her collection this spring. Her pieces are simultaneously modern and classic — simple silhouettes in silks and cottons imported from Japan.

Solid colors highlight construction in two-tone frocks and high-waisted flared skirts paired with structured tanks. But the best of the bunch are a black button-front jumpsuit and a ’20s-inspired suspender dress.

Yeah, it hides pastry puff on the hips.

Not bad for a clever little slip.

Adult Swim

There are some exciting things brewing  at She-bible headquarters that we are not able to talk about just yet. So i'm attaching some photos of some of the hardest worker bees I know. The She-bible crew - Stacy, Sofie and Max. They are pretty much the coolest chicks ever and so much fun to eat lunch with it and yelp out opinions to.





Above is my newest form of surburban therapy. We joined a pool and at the days end we can walk a few blocks to take a dip and frolick as a family. I was being a penny pincher and almost passed up the opportunity a few months back. One major heat wave had me digging in our recycling to fish out the paperwork. It's so something out of Little Children and has been very worth it. Eavesdropping on families and seeing my little pisces baby so happy splashing around in the water has been outrageously entertaining. Summer hasn't even really begun yet!!

Recycling Rules


We try to recycle however we can. We ship a lot of boxes around the country (and the world for that matter) and we like to reuse whenever possible. Enter a big skyscraper called the SOMA grand going up up up in San Francisco. Think about how much cardboard consumption goes into one of those huge apartment buildings? How many ceiling fans, kitchen fixtures, lights are individually wrapped in cardboard and unpacked and then immediately dumped into landfills? Now picture an awesome electrician named Luz Maria who visited our warehouse and noticed how similiar in size these boxes were to our exact needs. Soon enough she collected (so very neatly and OCD like) these clean perfect boxes for us to ship out our materials in. Thanks Luz Maria!!

The February Blur

After what seemed to be never ending running around to finish our Fall '09 samples, I was finally off to Project in Las Vegas (2/16 - 2/19)

While staying at the luxurious Luxor, we were inundated with this poster of Criss Angel. Not only was it all over the entrance of the hotel and every elevator, but when we'd get back to our room every night the message light on our phone was blinking. Yep, a Criss Angel recording awaited us. Just in case we didn't get the memo he had a show there.
Of course, the fever hit me and I became obsessed with him and his hardcore pose.
Must win car. Must see show. With my non-stop preaching of the Criss Angel gospel, Amedee soon followed suit. 
While at the tradehows, I don't leave the booth much. I left for 5 minutes to get one of the free manicures down the aisle and was immediately called back to the booth for assistance. No mani and no one at the booth by the time I got back. Figures. 
This is our showroom booth. Our mannequin is the one on the right.
With 6 hours to kill until my flight to NY, I was not only lucky enough to catch the most rockin' rock band, Aquarius, play at a lounge in Mandalay Bay, but I also got to watch this couple grope and make-out to every song played by the rockin' cover band. I never knew AC/DC & Def Leppard could be so romantic.

Goodbye Vegas.

Hello New York.

I was here to do the Coterie show. I took a red-eye landing myself in the big apple at 8am. I headed directly to the East Village to pick-up my NY wifey, who had hangers and our She-bible sign, and then go right to Pier 90 to set up the booth. 

Unlike Project in Vegas where we show as a sh0wroom, at Coterie we have our own little 10' x 8' booth. 
After a long and semi-stressful morning (our mannequin didn't show up and tensions were running high), it was time for a nap and then dinner at Mamas! Fried Chicken over mac n' cheese - YES PLEASE!

Nerds.


I passed through Grand Central for the first time. It was beautiful.
We had a glass of wine at a bar inside called Oyster. I fell in love with the logo.

NY was full of fun. Dinners and friends and relaxed good times, but it was back to SF to catch up on life.
And what good timing. It dumped a foot of snow in a blizzard 2 days after I left. I guess NY was bummed to see me leave.

On another note, our Spring is trickling in. Items will be for sale on the site soon so stayed tuned.
