I must say, October was great for seeing wonderful people. Who knew Lynchburg and Atlanta could be such lovely places to spend time? Add in an event in Philly, and the month was fantastic.

Got to be with the Consolidated Shoe team in Lynchburg, VA for our sales meeting (hugs to Ashton!)

I love hearing people growing their business, especially my retailers! Congratulations to Karen Beebe, Queen of Hearts, and the newest store: Modern Love! Providence, RI, is lucky to have a new shoe store, on top of the already awesome sister store Queen of Hearts. If you’re in Providence, be sure to swing by Westminster Street to check it out. You’ll find some Irregular Choice shoes as well as other goodies from Consolidated Shoe and beyond! Karen’s got a great eye (she’s also the designer behind Lucille) and is a sweet lady, to boot.

What, boots? Yes! Get a pair at Modern Love. Support an independent retailer and treat your feet at the same time.

Modern Love press release
