PROJECT SEWING ROOM COMPLETE!!!!




John, once again, hard at work!!!  The shelves came in yesterday and he had them up right after we ate...and there's no stopping him once he starts.  I had to literally pry him away from the shelves so we could run to the store and get my wooden hangers :)


and, 


     TA-DA!!!





I LOVE, LOVE the fabric rack!!!  No more fabric on the floor...and SO MUCH more convenient to look through and pick out the PERFECT My-Kim combination ;)  COME SHOP GIRLS!!!!!







It took almost a year for my hobby to overtake the dining room....but slowly, and surely it did ;)  John has been convincing me since last summer to convert it.  But stubbornly, I kept all the Vogue pics in the closet and stacked piles and piles of fabric on the floor, table, and chairs. I always believed that creativity is MESSY and trust me, I am VERY CREATIVE!!!haha...take that how you want to, but now my creative mess is FINALLY organized!!! Granted we have to sit on the floor for dinner, it was the best decision ever ;)....


...stay tuned for the My-Erika on Erika pics!!!...

My-Kim: Getting it together ;)



With my 1st order almost finished, I had to find something cute to put it in for my 1st customer ;)  So I googled, googled, and googled some more until I came across some PINK plastic garment bags!!!!  I was SO freakin' excited!LoL  The only pitfall was they're only sold in BULK.  But I ordered anyways and couldn't be happier with all 30 lbs of it!!!!




Granted my 1st dress is for a friend, I also thought a receipt would be nice to have.  But not just any receipt of course, but a CUSTOMIZED My-Kim one!!!  So again, I googled and googled until I found a company that would print not just the My-Kim logo, but a customized template as well. ANDDD, it's carbonless paper, BUTTT still makes COPIES!!!YaYyY!!... And yes, it's the small things in life that make me happy ;)




And last, but not least I finally ordered some shelves and super cute baskets from Pier1 to put all my GORGEOUS fabric in :)...time for the soon to be hubster to break out his tools again!... CAN'T WAIT till Project Sewing Room is complete!!! 

...stay tuned gals...pics of my 1st dress on SOMETHING OTHER then a mannequin coming SOON!!!....

PROJECT LOOKBOOK!!!!




hey girls, so I am SuPeR ExCiTeD about My-Kim's Look-Book Project!  One of my talented friends and soon to be world renowned photographer, Ms. Lanah Bardier, inspired me to get My-Kim's Collection together and collaborate with her on Project Look-Book!!!  


Between juggling a full-time marketing position and getting a collection together, I kept putting dress orders on the back burner until my collection was complete. I finally got tired of turning people down in order to finish my collection and decided why not do both at the same time?!?! With my light bulb lit, I decided to take dress orders for those interested in being in My-Kim's Look-Book!!! That way I can work on dresses for the collection, have them custom fitted to the Look-Book models, and take orders for the gals that want to rock a My-Kim ;)   


For those interested, all dresses will be custom fitted to insure a perfect fit for the photo session ;)  It'll be an opportunity to get photographed for free, be in a Look-Book, get a 15% discount, and last but not least, get a custom fit My-Kim!!!


Details are still being worked out, but please, please let me know if you're interested ASAP. Don't be shy girls!!!!  This is your time to shine and flaunt a My-Kim dress while you're at it!!!
