One more week before our big event, and things are looking like we will be able to pull a great show:-) Our new jewelry collection is ready and looks fantastic. The idea of mixing different materials and stones worked. Daniela did an amazing job designing and creating each piece in such record time. It gave us major satisfaction, to see everything lined up in the studio (our pre-show workshop), and ready to be fitted by each of the models.

We are thrilled to have Miss DC 2009, Jen Corey, and Miss DC 2008, Kate Marie Grinold, to present our jewelry. Although, Jen is getting ready for Miss America (which we fully believe with her beauty and talent she will rock), she found time to participate in our fall 09 photo shoot and looked fab. We cannot wait to see what she shows on the runway. Kate Marie's genuine connection to Polaris Project creates perfect synergy of fashion and selfless outreach to the ones in need.

After spending some time at the L2 Club in Georgetown and putting the final touches on the evening, we have to say, we could not have picked a better venue. No one who is helping us through sometimes more or less unrealistic expectations could be any more helpful and understanding. The place itself is just what we and our jewelry need. (we did not know what we needed before we found L2). So thank you Lucia and Oscar.

Having said that, we still need to tie some loose ends...see you next week!
