Hi there everyone! It’s been a while, hasn’t it? Well, but what a year it was!
Like many small business owners, I’ve been truly relaxing over January as it’s the “quiet time” everywhere. Suppliers and retail both go to sleep and wake up refreshed in February. How wonderful is it is to get one’s thoughts in order, step out from under the to-do list, and start afresh.
Which leads me to my first really big announcement for 2011. This year, for the first time, you will be able to try on my clothes in a store. Mira from Glamazon Shoes in Ascot Vale, Melbourne, has installed her first clothing rack especially for little old me… I am so flattered and so excited. So excited that I forgot to take my camera along on installation day … whoops … here’s one from my phone, with grovelling apologies re: icky iPhone pictures …
Here’s the fun part: that rack is custom built so that it will be at your eye height, and so that when they’re ready, it will be able to handle the pants and maxi dresses that you’ve all been asking for.
If you know another store that should stock my clothes, please do us both a favour and ask them nicely — or poke them with a stick — whichever will work!! In fact, please leave a comment AND poke them with a stick, and then I can ask them nicely, too.
Meanwhile this weekend if you’re in Melbourne, do drop in and have a look. Mira’s in-store stock is refreshingly fashionable and chic, so maybe you can have the very unusual-for-us experience of putting together a whole outfit that works, in one store!

And so proud to be stocking these stunning dresses Anne! Already have my eye on the (red) Veruschka. I’m obviously not alone in my thinking as they’ve already started to sell. No great surprise really! x
Can’t wait to see your clothes in the US. I’m sure there’s retail space for you here. Also, there is a young woman in the W.N.B.A. who is launching her own shoe line, sizes 10.5 – 15. Her name is Asjha Jones. She is 6’3″ and plays for the Connecticut Suns. Maybe you can set up a similar agreement as you have with Glamazon shoes.
P.S. – I too share a love for high heels and fashionable clothes. I’d like to think of my style as “classic chic”. Thank goodness for a mom who can sew!
All the Best,
Janice Gonzalez – 6’0″
