Yesss! I'm in LA, CA, USofA.
This is where I'm staying:

It would be an understatement to say I'm excited.
Daniella has started referring to me exclusively as "the Puppy".

Today afternoon is our launch party - Liberty and her daughter are coming back from their family holiday in Malibu just to host it and the "attending" list is made up of beautiful, intelligent and lovely mummies, daughters and sons (Minnie Driver and her son are confirmed :) as well as high-calibre stylists and national, international and online press. I think it's gonna rock!
I will blog all about our event here, but I really want to post some updates on what I have been doing, since it has been eye-opening and stress-relieving to me and I think to anyone thinking of starting their own business, esp in fashion and esp anyone without a business degree, it would be very helpful as a guideline.
However, I have several things I promised in previous posts and more things now, so maybe we could have a vote? (AKA give your preference in the comments section below...)
Would you prefer to read about
A. Accounts of a strategy meeting
B. How buyers buy and how to confirm an order
C. A fill-in-the-dots outline for a business plan
D. A list of steps in the process of producing your own collection from idea to shipping
E. How to know when what needs to be done in the production process aka The Critical Path (an excel file that allows you to just change the delivery date and automatically updates all other dates)
Okay, hope to hear some feedback, so we can build consensus and achieve our targets.

- Yes, I have been brainwashed into business school lingo... Currently reading "What they teach you at Harvard Business School" (HBS for insiders) by the former Head of The Telegraph's Paris Bureau, Philip Delves Broughton. As such, it is wittily written, from a non-business perspective. Refreshing and insightful, recommended reading for anyone who went to a business school that wasn't HBS and important for anyone thinking about Business School http://tinyurl.com/3afb9fj
