Hot Mess Chronicles

Is your boutique ready for your holiday shoppers? Here are 5 tips to make sure it is!

Don't be afraid to want MORE. I am grateful as ever for what I've got girl, and I am constantly shouting it out, but that doesn't stop me from dreaming bigger. 

Ok - I'll just be honest. Paris was an awkward 3 weeks for me. Yes, just 3. It was supposed to be 4, but I bailed out a full week early. That's how awkward it was. But it wasn't Paris's fault.
