Well due to economic cutbacks, I have relieved Kandi of her writing position and taken over her blog. (she hadn't posted anything in almost a year any way). I guess she's been too busy greeting customers and that other thing that dogs do regularly. Anyway, things have been busy at AC. New Facebook page, and also one for Blinc. If you're not familiar with Blinc, it's our sister store that caters to a contemporary women generally in the 20's-50's range. It's a bit different than AC , in that it is all women's clothing, shoes and accessories. It's located in The Shops At Legacy (http://www.shopsatlegacy.com/ ) This "California" inspired boutique is a must see for any fashion enthusiast. From it's quirky "Asian bamboo meets metallic" interior, to it's unique collection of contemporary fashion designers including: Alice and Olivia, Lotta, Bordeaux, Madison Marcus, Lauren Moshi, Development, Ankh, Catherine Malandrino, Calleen Cordero, Michelle Jonas, Citrine by the Stones, Marcia Moran, Double Happiness and Claudia Lobao.You can almost feel the ocean breezes from Malibu and smell the eucalyptus in the air as you stroll through this amazing environment. It is very reminiscent of shopping in the eclectic boutiques on Melrose Ave. or strolling down Robertson Avenue. You will not want to miss the incredible jewelry and handbag selection...it is the envy of the DFW/Metroplex! Back to AC, it's been an interesting Spring so far. While the President and Congress have been preaching gloom and doom, our customers have been buying. Now I won't tell you it's as busy as last year, but it's not bad! I would have to say it's due to an outstanding array of merchandise; (probably better than I've ever seen it) and great sales people who are communicating daily with our customers. We're also doing more communications via e-mail, so if you want to be in the loop for sales, new merchandise, etc., then you'll want to sign-up on our web site (http://www.animalcrackers.com/), or in one of our stores. We also opened a brand new store in Colleyville, TX . Candace Savins is our new manager there, and is joined by Aly Cline, Niki Hieb and Kristina Gerbert. Great crew...stop by and see the store.Last week, we were in L.A., buying for Fall and saw some great new fashion from Flowers By zoe, Les Tout Petits, Little Mass and too many more to mention. We should have pics posted on the Facebook page soon. I had lunch at The Ivy and met Max and Karina from Dancing with the Stars, who were also waiting in line. I felt bad because I had all of these paparazzi running up to take my picture and I'm sure it annoyed those two; but what could I do?I'll try to be a little better about keeping up with this blog thing in the future, but for now, so long.
