We’ve been gearing up for a big local event tonight after a much needed sabbatical. (Are you local and want to know the details? Shoot me an email). New shoes, handbags and everything in between. Oooohhh being a girl is actually quite exciting. And for all of you that have sent your wishlist, you’re going to love Valentine’s Day. And don’t worry, we’ll still accept them until Wednesday of next week.

Keep peeking in the shop the next few days as we add our latest arrivals.

And our logo is up here…..isn’t it pretty? Happy Weekend!

I’m not really a starstruck person, not in the least. But when you’re building a business and someone of celebrity status recognizes you in any sort of way, it’s hard to not squeal like a 16 year girl at her first rock concert, literally melting to the ground. Thank-you Ken Paves for becoming a Recessionista follower via twitter and for the retweet love. You rock! And maybe, just maybe, one day you will to turn my hair to gold. (He does have that ability, you know.)

Speaking of twitter, do you tweet, retweet, and share the tweeting love? I’ll admit, the twitter phenomenon sends me into a dither (just ask my pr guru) but I think I’m in love with twitter, deeply in love. Really, where else can you contact celebrities directly regarding their project or cause and get a direct message in return? There goes the 16-year old concert thing again.

Thanks to twitter, we found an incredible organization and became aware of a specific project that fit perfectly with our desires and goals. After many conversations and email exchanges, the official partnership between Recessionista and Soles4Souls has launched. What does this mean? Some amazing prices on our products (we’re doing some ridiculous price slashing) for 50 days, donating a portion of our sales, sending shoes to those in Haiti, seeking your help in spreading the good word and announcing some super exciting things. I will have more on that later today. In the meantime, checkout the
p u r d y new logo celebrating this collaboration. You like? And check-out the prices in our shop. What’s not to like about that?

Don’t go away…..I’ll be right back.
