So I pick up my parents Sunday night at 9 and my mom informs me that we would be going to LA the next morning on a buying trip and to be ready at 7. I was excited, it's not exactly the worst thing to have to do but it was such short notice. It was like reality TV, I didn't have any laundry etc. done so I had to pull it together quick. My mom is really spontaneous so I've grown used to it though, keeps me on my toes. We got out early as we were driving (to be able to take things home) and even brought Andy our standard poodle along.
As some of you may or may not have known, I spent six weeks of the summer in Paris (French is my minor). While I was taking classes there, I also took full advantage of the experience to do some cosmetic research and also get plenty of inspiration for the Cry Baby line. The last three weeks of my stay I lived in China Town, which inspired many of the bold, bright colored eye shadows you will see in our fall line. The punk, faded-out teenagers and their muted clothing color choices as well as the color scheme of Versailles and its gardens can also be seen.
