During trade show and fashion week season, the JC team travels non stop! This month I am due to be in Milan twice within 2 weeks. I somehow convinced them to send me to Spain in between both of the MILAN trips, to visit some of our Factories and to meet the European team!

Other than having a 2 hour lunch break for beer, food, and siesta, I have actually been pretty busy! Do I ever have to leave?

The owner of one of our favorite factories has a mutual obsession with all things Native American. Word on the street is, he found all of this for free in a dumpster. So Jealous!

I secretly found some next level technology going down as well. How small is this computer?

My new best friend! Fixing some samples from the warehouse!

Elche in Alicante is known for having the perfect climate for palm trees! OMG palm trees!

I wish!

At dinner, I was finally able to try MUGA…..classic Spanish wine!

Caught the boys watching the game on their Iphones.

I think that their calamari is a bit different than in the states, and most likely more recently deceased….

SUGAR!

Solestruck.com recently added some brand new styles to their site. Welcome the Turino and the Big Girl.  Turino is a simple and wearable wedge with a secret zipper detail all up in your business to make it pop. We are in to the black on black. Monochrome is the new miss match!

Big girl is 70s to the core in shape, but a little gothy and modern with its black leather and black wood. Then she surprises us and becomes updated vintage girl with the mexican blanket contrast. Which one are you in to?
