"It's the final countdown"

In the famous words of the 80's band Europe... we're now just days away from our online boutique launch.
Things have calmed down a little for us regarding the website, (now the last of the work is up to our web design company) but we're already busy working on our next big project-our new store! The builders are, as I type, fitting out the new premises. I went for a look today and was pleasantly surprised by just how much space we're going to have. We've gone for a different look entirely. We love it and can't wait to see what all our customers think of our new home too! :-)

Today Elaine has been at a buying appointment for By Malene Birger for Spring/Summer 2012 (Print is huge, you heard it here first!) Lynda is busy sourcing mannequins for the new store and packaging for the online business, Catriona is off today and me; (Susanne) I'm doing a last minute proof of the website, aswell as writing this blog post and doing the online marketing. Straight back in at the deep end after my week off!  We often get asked our favourite pieces so we've decided to post what we wear to work.

(L-R) Lynda wearing Beija, Elaine wearing Orla Kiely and Susanne wearing Diane Von Furstenberg.
Stay tuned for more news on the new website, the new store and lots, lots more! <3

Welcome to our blog! :-)

Welcome to our very first blog post. We are in exciting and busy times...

We've just held our bi-annual Fashion Show (see the side bar for our Favourite looks), we are days away from our new Online-boutique (www.elainecurtis.ie) Plus we are moving location very shortly. (More on that later) There's so much to do and stress levels are high but we love it that way. Thank God for coffee from Brooks (http://www.dinnri.com/brooks%20cafe%20bar.htm) to keep us going throughout the day!

In case you wondered what goes on behind the scenes in a busy boutique this blog will reveal all (well actually, maybe just a little) Mostly we'll be talking Fashion...the thing that we all eat, live and breathe! But we will also feature other things of interest to us.

(L-R) Susanne, Elaine, Catriona & Lynda

So..... today I (Susanne) am writing our first blog post. Elaine is in Paris on a buying trip. Catriona is busy selling her little socks off  on the shop floor and Lynda is on a much deserved day off!

To get the ball rolling on our first blog post here is the video of our slot on last night's Expose. <3
