Born in London and raised in Canada, Ray Caesar uses fashion as a means to express his art. His stuff is a bit crazy, but the haunting images seem to stick with you. He is inspired by Salvador Dali and Frida Kahlo and is considered to be a surrealist himself.

Most of his paintings include surreal body parts mixed with some pretty awesome fashion. It can be considered Steam Punk in some ways, but also vintage and Victorian. Let's just take a moment to admire the work of this wonderful man!

Change of Heart

Just when I feel like giving up, the universe transforms itself back in my favor.

I'm nervous. Excited nervous, for what's to come. This journey is JUST starting... and I've already experienced every emotion, battle, and wound that it could offer. But this is why I keep going:

1. A beautiful customer brought me a cupcake today. I gobbled it up before I could even think to take a picture.

2. My first blog write up! From another encouraging stylish momma! Check it out! Please!

*And ya gotta love that sign she posted. "Friends don't let friends shop at chain stores."

That is what I live/work for. Not the cupcake-eating (well, sorta.)

But the customer service. The retail experience I give to people while they shop. The "retail-therapy" they come in for.

It's not much, but I very much appreciate the little things my customers do to show THEIR appreciation for what I do... (did that make sense??)

Show your appreciation to someone you love!!

XOXO,

Gettin' Cray-Cray!

I've been such a scatter brain lately!

No motivation to get anything DONE!

I know what needs to be done... it just never gets finished or even started!

Endless amounts of to-do lists...

This job gives me a lot of opportunity for creativity and leadership, but finding the balance between work and home has been hard, so I feel like the shop is slacking on it's potential.

On a lighter note, my son turned 2 on October 10! We ate cake and ice cream and played with balloons all day. He has the best birthday ever: 10/10/10!

And so I leave you with a relevant quote about "Timing":

"Choosing time and place of our actions
to harmonize inner and outer
rhythms and qualities of energy
helps them burst forth in all their fullness."

Phewwww!

Time has flew by! :) 

Lots of goodies still coming our way!

Lease signing and purchase agreement to be very soon! 

If on time, we will be having a re-launch part-ay in November... we will keep you posted! 

Still so much to do though... blood, sweat, and tears has definitely been apart of this journey way too often... I can't wait to have a day to sit back and relax a little! (although its not very likely as a small business owner. Bahaha. Can't a girl dream?!)

Anywho,

These photos are what we've been up to this year 2012! Enjoy. 

XOXO,

Rylee

Happy 2012 Lovers!!
