a new year.

It's a new year, and that feels so, so good.  

First, a huge thanks/hug/high five to all our customers, retailers, friends, & family that supported us throughout 2011.  It was a great year thanks to you.  And looking forward to this next year, we know it's going to be even better.  Bring it!

Now that the parties have ended & everyone is back to work, we have had a chance to really reflect on our 2012 changes/goals both for ourselves as individuals and for Kaye Rachelle.  Curious to know what they are?

could it be true? 3rd ward is philly bound.

I spent 3 years of my mid-twenties living it up in Bushwick, Brooklyn - throwing large parties in our loft, brunching it at Northeast Kingdom, and enrolling in graphic design classes at 3rd Ward. So when 3rd Ward announced this week that they were opening a Philadelphia location next summer (2 blocks away from our apartment no less), I just about died.

Could it be true?

Yes, it is.

And it will be awesome.
