La Poe Needs Your Help With Fashion Theme

We’re moving ahead wih the fashion show concept and I think we just might have the ideal site for the first show. The place has not yet been reserved so we’ll hold off, for now, on those details, but we’ll keep you in the loop.

To add another element on our already exciting new event, we decided to base the fashion show on a theme; however we’re plum out of ideas at the moment.

So here’s the deal, if you can come up with a sexy (meaning catchy) little theme to base our fashion show around before Christmas, we’ll send you a free purse (of your online choosing) and give you credit for the theme on the website (www.lapoebags.info).

I’m really hoping to get some fresh outside ideas. Help us out will ya?

No White Christmas For Me! Thank You.

There are 21 days left until Christmas, and I’m down here in sunny Southern California, where it occasionally hails, but almost never snows, looking over pictures of Leukerbad in Switzerland.

Looking at the pristine snowy white Alps as the backdrop of this resort, reminds me that I’ve never dreamed of a white Christmas. As a matter of fact, I remember one year, I decided that my Christmas wrapping paper would be a palm tree covered roll of paper I bought from step-sister’s school fundraising catalog. Now is the time that I wish I had a six foot plastic palm tree I could cover in Christmas lights - my own interpretation of a Southern Cali Christmas.

I was invited to a Christmas party today and I don’t have a thing to wear. Well, maybe I have something, but I kind of like acting like I don’t. It gives me a guilt-free reason to shop for myself during the holidays. Although, I must say, that my guilt is feeling lighter and lighter as the years pass.

Being the Santa party season and all, I thought I’d share my La Poe (www.lapoebags.info) pick for a handbag that would look great at any Christmas shindig. I’ve picked the white beaded evening clutch, because whether you’re ankle deep in snow, or have almost forgotten what snow looks like (like me), it still translates to “winter holidays.”

La Poe's First Restock

Business is picking up for us here at La Poe, despite the doom and gloom forecasted for this year's holiday season for retailers. Fortunately we are a new business so we have nothing to compare it to. Lucky us. So things are looking up...I'm excited, all of La Poe's clients seem to be excited as well, and with the eddie of happiness swirling around in the air, we decided to slash a few prices on our site as well (www.lapoebags.info).

In our restock of inventory, I found this super cute patten leather, nose-in-the-air number. I'm hard pressed to find a purse that a woman at any age would love to have, but this one comes pretty darn close. And seeing how we absolutely have to be creative this Christmas (well most of us), this handbag would make one very merry gift.
