Dog Shit Theory

Well if that isn't the biggest clump of dog shit on my brand new Vince shoes!!! A picture does tell a thousand words.

When I sat down to write during one of my "wake ups",  one of the first theories that came to mind was the dog shit theory. There have been three incidences in the past couple weeks, and I feel compelled to share. Plus I have truly committed to wearing my heart on my sleeve and sharing it with whoever cares to read this blog. I mean really???

First it was my tennies while on a walk with Cleo my little black dog. I stepped in a huge pile, and just took off the disgusting shoes right away. They needed a good excuse to be thrown away anyway.

And then my Rocket Dog favorite nasty old clogs were another thing! But now my beautiful new treasured Vince Camuto shoes, and on the first day I wore them. Do you see all that dog shit caked in there?

Ok, ok, I will tell you the theory now, take it for what it is. It goes something like this: If I were wearing these amazing shoes, and I walked into your home with a clump of poo attached to my beautiful shoes, would you be ok with that?

I think not. Just, no. JUST SAY NO! The translation carries over into life's relationships in this way. . . Just be done with other people's behavior if you do not like it. It is stinky., and I say, "No thank you."

It doesn't matter who you are or where you came from honay! Shit is shit no matter what and let's not spread it around. If someone walks into your life, your house, your conversation, and you can smell the shit, kindly call it out, speaking your truth. I am trying this on a lot lately and it is not nearly as eloquent as I would like it to be, it is very uncomfortable, and at first not so easy. The idea remains the same even if you want to call it out inwardly, as long as you're being honest with yourself and speaking from the heart. But I have one girlfriend who calls it out and then laughs, humor being good medicine! If I don't laugh at myself and my poor shoes I will cry.

Watch where you step ladies, there is a lot of yucky stuff out there, it is very easy to get sucked in to all the shit!! 

On a positive note, I loved Vince's mission statement on the inside of the shoe box!  xo

I'm passionate about creating a product that women really want... infusing great style, comfort, and unparalled value for every stage of her life.

Day one of my new business plan. . . Vegas!!

Well I can't think of a better way to launch my new plan than going to Vegas for the Project show.  This show is a great way to see what is going on from coast to coast in the fashion industry.

Dear Luv Thing friends If you have been hanging around here long you know how I like change. Just like all of you, I want the newest and the cutest each time you walk into my store. Recently I have had a much harder time stocking the store and trying to guess what everyone wants. I have always taken pride in myself as being a good buyer, but the markdowns I am taking today and the continual change in the shopping climate have led me to the decision to change up my business once again. Starting today we are having a CLEARANCE SALE!! I am downsizing even more, closing the store, and taking my business mobile to make it more personal. We're going back to the old days when we came together, we shopped, we laughed, and we had a space to hang out. It was great girls time and we enjoyed ourselves. I want to bring back that girlfriend vibe and that means it is time to take my business to a different level.  I will be able to personally shop for you, host happy hours and girls night out parties at my house or yours, and offer YOU, my customer and friend an incentive for hosting a party. (We'll have more details on this soon.)  Also researching farmers markets, festivals.....and all kinds of fun places that a luv bus should go!!  Do  you need styling or 911 shopping? I am your girlfriend with the wide open closet. I will be moving my treasures into my new bus in Leucadia and will continue to shop the market for the best of the best at all price point levels. My luv girls and I will be offering: personal shopping personal styling for you, your closet, or your home shopping parties for you and your friends I will also be spending more time developing my own It's a Luv Thing brand and possibly franchising mobile buses......?   Like always, who knows where this crazy path of life will lead us, but one thing I know for sure is that I am really looking forward to spending more time with my daughters and strengthening the friendships I have with all of you!   Thank you for all of your support over these past six and a half years!
