Interview with RICH SKINNY PRETTY

Find out what's in my closet (besides a giant dog trying to eat my favorite shoes) The girls of fashion blog RICH SKINNY PRETTY got the inside scoop on mimi&lu and you can read the interview here!

Ready, Set, Go!

I spent much of the past few weeks planted in front of the computer and neglecting my jewelry table (where I'd much rather be)- But it's FINALLY paid off because the mimi&lu website has LAUNCHED! I selected some new pieces as well as some old favorites that are currently available online, but more will be listed soon.

Additionally, I am in the process of developing packaging for my online sales. My mission is to create pieces are special and precious to each person and feel like your own little treasure. And treasures should be properly packed and presented, so keep your eye out for the new packaging!

It's been an (unexpectedly) trying process but mimi&lu is just about ready -- Thinking about the 'brand' and where I wanted mimi&lu to go was surprisingly difficult. I learned to let go of some of my preconceived ideas of what I wanted and ended up loving things I never thought I would. For example, my color palette.. pinks and peaches and violets and browns- who knew! I always imagined myself as a blues and greens girl. But when it came down to it, (thanks to some amazing help from a designer who worked on the color branding) I was able to take myself out of that box and come away with something soft and beautiful.

I thought I'd share some of my pics I used in my virtual scrapbook that helped guide the process. Right now my problem is focusing on creating a new collection since I have so many exciting ideas on where I want to go with mimi&lu!
