Well, we finally made it back from our trip to Las Vegas. Good thing too because, though we’ve been super busy looking into all new things for FALL 08, Spring orders are finally here! We will be receiving all kinds of new treasures weekly. Plus, SESSA spring / summer ‘08 is just about ready for the racks. We are very excited to be approaching our 1st birthday, and can’t wait to show off all of our great new pieces. After the horrible cold and wind we’ve been through I can finally feel that Spring is almost here. Meese 100%, and a big thanks to everyone we met at PROJECT, POOL, and MAGIC.
