♥ NEW ♥

SO sorry to neglect you oh blog...I do have a NEW blog as well which I will update more often...www.poshpreneur.com

*NEW* Diaper & Wipes Clutch

So this is my take on the diaper and wipes clutch...it's a CLUTCH! lol It ties up really nicely with a pretty pink grosgrain ribbon and fits a few diapers, a wipes case (we are working on our covered cases-FYI) and has room for rash cream, too!

♥ Spring 2009 ♥

Yes, I AM talking about SPRING already! :) We are working on the Spring line! Our Fall/Winter line production hit a few bumps in the road however, we were able to release a few pieces for now...the rest we are re-working and will debut in the Spring! It isn't easy being a one-woman show! I can't even begin to tell you how amazing, fulfilling, exhausting and down right HARD it is to be in business for yourself!

My DH works for a big car company and lucky him, he gets paid hotel nights, paid dinners, paid CAR and GAS...must be nice! (Although I do have to admit that it is nice to ride around in HIS nice car that is FREE! haha)

It will all pay off...it will all pay off...(lol)

In the spare time that I have...I have been working with my lil lady and the States & Capitols...she is in 1st grade and I don't know when they actually learn the states and capitols but, I just saw this 2 year old on t.v. who knew all of them and was thinking...no way! So, we are working on that :) She is also reading very, very well on her own so we encourage that at home.

My son who is 2 1/2 is learning his ABC's and just started to really put sentences together...I mean "real" sentences! It is also nice that he is starting to tell us how he feels...if he is tired or wants to lay down he can communicate that very clearly and seems to understand when we tell him what to do as well!

When I am not being super mama, I am working on The Posh Parent (www.theposhparent.com) and just getting geared up fr our launch Monday!

All is well...chaotic, but well in the world of Tres Couture!

♥ Customer Feedback ♥

Nothing encourages me more than when customers send me emails about their purchases from TC. This particular customer is from Canada and found me on Etsy.

"Hi Again! Thanks so much for fixing the listing so I could buy this dress...I'm sure this dress is special to you, but I have to tell you just how perfect it is for my daughter! My husband's favourite colour is black; we've collected antique keys for years (they're all over our house), and since my husband and I are from different ethnic origins we've always talked about our daughter as being a zebra(the black and white stipes symbolizing the mixing of the two cultures). You can't imagine my disbelief when I found your listing for that dress while surfing Etsy late one night this week. It's too perfect!!! And since she's not yet two years old, I'm certain that this will become one of her most treasured items to wear for years to come. "

Here are a few pictures she sent me of her darling little one wearing the dress





I am very excited to bring the "Style me Gorgeous" dress back this Spring 2009 in new colors! Keep an eye out!

♥ NEW clothing...♥

I have been working on a new line of clothing for a while now...finally, I found fabrics and styles that I LOVE! I hope that you enjoy what I have come up with! These are very rough draft images so excuse the mess but I was so excited to share this with you!

So, tell me what you think! I will be posting them on the site once I can edit the photos and list all the available colors/patterns!

XOXO, Clarissa
