hello stranger...

A lot has happened in the last 2.5 months (yep, that was the last post) which means much progress for LANGsura.com! Most of my time has continued to still go into getting the written part of the website complete and its almost there. This step is probably the most slowest, boring, tedious of the whole process, a lot of legal jargon, creating policies, term of use for the site... and the list continues.

The most exciting news to share with you is the NEW logo for LANGsura.com! 

I hope you like

Posted here for the meaning...

hello 2012!

this is on our check list for 2012:

1. get a new, fresh, pretty logo 
2. find inspiring labels to add to our current lines (both local and overseas)

such as this beauty...

      3.  oh yeah, and LAUNCH the website

seems simple enough :)

happy new year's eve!

wishing everyone a happy new year!

whatever you end up doing to celebrate,

hope you all a year full of laughter, health, peace & happiness

xoxo

making progress

Yes, I keep it real.  I still use the old pen & paper.

The past month has been spent prepping & writing everything for the site: the return policy, terms of use, shipping rates... basically everything except updating this blog!

Not everything has been going according to plan which can be really frustrating at times. In the last month my dedication to making langsura happen has been tested a few times. There have definitely been some "what the &$@!" moments but that is bound to happen. Luckily for me (and probably not for them) I have a great support system that listens to me bitch and gives me some amazing advice.

Everything now seems to be back on track and I'm hoping for a launch date by Spring 2026 2012 :)

vintage gems

With trying to perfect a logo, working on the template for the website and working on the Spring line all at the same time, I finally made some time to do what I absolutely LOVE... vintage shopping (oh and blogging ;))  

In addition to all the new pieces that I've been buying at the tradeshows, langsura will also feature exclusive vintage dresses that have been reconfigured and redesigned by wonderfully talented mom & myself.  Looking forward to finally debuting the collection that I've been working on for the past 10 years. 

an early birthday present :)

For the past 2 months, I have been working on a gift for my husband's 30th birthday. I've been sneaking behind his back, making secret phone calls, putting things on my business credit card and basically lying through my teeth to him...
the foundation of a healthy marriage.  

His bags have been packed (and probably with 5 pairs of shoes and no underwear), the flight & hotel are booked and he has NO clue (muhahahahahaha) :)

WISCONSIN!!!

Ok, not really but when I was looking up images to put on the blog Wisconsin actually looks pretty nice. Possibly our next vacation spot?

 We are actually in...

NEGRIL, JAMAICA!

My main goal here was to cross one of the items off his bucket list: to get his scuba diving certificate.  Tomorrow we hit up the Ocean (we don't look so cool scuba diving in the hotel pool)!

Have a great week everyone!

Highlights of Chicago

Last week I was lucky enough to go to Chicago (for the first time!) for the StyleMax Spring 2012 trade show.  It was definitely a lot easier for me to transition into the spring mindset with the unseasonably sunny & warm weather in the city.  The tradeshow was a big success, I got to see some amazing new lines.  For the spring line I've signed on 4 new labels for langsura, all of which I am VERY excited for and will be previewing in an upcoming blog!


There were many things on my list of things to do eat which included: Italian beef, overstuffed sandwich & deep dish pizza.  To sum up the trip it was full of food (maybe too much), shopping (again, a little excessive) & lots of time with my family (not enough).

Chicago style deep dish pizza from Giordano's.
We pulled a completely glutinous move by ordering a large.

Spent the day walking around the many parks all over Chicago

The Architecture Boat Tour is a MUST to see all the stunning buildings in the city 

A beautiful day at Navy Pier
