• We  believe that dolls live in Doll Houses.

• We believe too much reality is a bummer.

• We believe that “bling” is a verb.

• We believe in being overdressed or overdressed always.

• We believe no one should pay retail.

• We believe in the power of red lip lacquer to elevate any mood.

• We believe Bond girls have more fun.

• We believe in shopping, sipping and suppering locally.

• We believe singing cats are the best cats.

• We believe if you support independent retailers, you build local communities.

• We believe printed fashion magazines have a dual purpose: inspiration and camouflage.

• We believe God delights in giving us the desires of our hearts.

• We believe in Hollywood style, the gilded age, big hair, longer lashes and Diana Ross circa 1973.

• We believe love can be defined as random acts of kindness: deserved and undeserved.

• We believe Naomi Campbell’s runway walk can resurrect the dead.

• We believe that fashion is innovation and innovation should be protected.
