A few things from market ;)


....a few things from market...

One of my favorite lines at market was also the very first place we walked into! We also ended up with the NICEST salesperson that patiently bared with us. Poor girl, we took over an hour just trying to decide on our first order! We couldn't decide how many xs, s, m, and l we needed and on top of that there were well over 30+ fabric/pattern choices!

This line came from a young artist out of Maryland. This is her FIRST year launching a clothing line and she uses her original paintings as the pattern choices for fabric. All of the fabric choices are bold and bright and the styles are PERFECT for southern proper attire. Her designs are VERY similar to Lilly, but at a fraction of the cost ;)  
These are just a few of her designs and we ordered A LOT more cute, fun patterns and styles!!!

…some of our FAVES for early spring!!! PERFECT for a Charleston trip (or maybe the photo shoot just reminds me of Chucktown!lol)…either way I LOVE all three ;)

How cute are these scallop shorts?!?!






... I looked for these exact shorts ALL summer last year and the boutiques were ALWAYS OUT!!! You can't imagine how excited I was to find them at market!


White shorts have always been a staple for me, so I couldn't have been happier to find them scalloped and topped off with gold buttons...


Anddd we even got them in red and blue seersucker too ;)



…a few more of our favorite shorts...











...these lightweight, pleated shorts would be GREAT for a hot summer day...you can either dress them down with some rainbows or up with some jacks! Whichever way, their super cute and once again, I LOVE, LOVE the gold buttons!




.......StAy TuNeD for MORE!!!....

My-Kim Update ;)




….just a little update for those who are wondering what is going on with My-Kim. We are planning to open a store in downtown Columbia on Devine st. this spring ;)  Half of the store will carry an independently designed/ manufactured My-Kim line. And the other half will be a mixture of designer retail. We are aiming to open an affordable boutique that not only carries Southern proper, preppy clothes, but also fun, night out on the town clothes! Scheduled to open late March, early April so STAY TUNED for more info.!!!



As small as we are trying to start out, it has been SOOOO much hard work!!! It doesn’t matter how early I wake up or how late I go to bed, there is always a TON of things to get done...  And this leads me to my next topic….

Since I’ve been way over my head trying to launch My-Kim, I decided to partner with my HARDWORKING college friend!!!

...Ms. Wing She

aka: Chicken Wing, Wing-a-Ling, Wang, Wingy Bingy

If there is one characteristic of Wing, it’s definitely her tenacity. She is basically a sister to me and I’ve always looked up to her for being so disciplined. Holding a fulltime job as a pharmacist, Wing comes over on her days off and we’re continuously working f/m 9 in the morning ‘till 12 at night.  And as bad as this sounds, she is the one pushing me to work harder!lol


It’s so funny how things work out…as we sit in front of the computer, spending HOURS to complete our business plan, I couldn’t help but to think deja vu!!! Taking me back to the college days when we’d stare at the computer fixing our essays or looking over lecture notes on Blackboard.  It’s crazy to think about the countless times we would sip on Starbucks and nervously talk about exams and now we're discussing real estate contracts and bank funding over coffee!lol


I do feel like some people are divinely connected and I couldn’t be more blessed to have her as my business partner…and from her obsession of shoes/purses to my obsession with clothes, we couldn’t make a more perfect pair ;)

Biz Partners ;)

….stay tuned for some pics of our FIRST set of ARRIVALS!!!
