Aah, the first post. I usually hate writing these but I think this one will be pretty fun, so here goes. My name is Kim, I’m 22 years old and I’m launching a boutique. You may know me from one of my other blogs; I run Girls Talkin’ Smack which is a fairly popular celebrity blog and I also worked for Oxygen Media (over at Oomph.net) for several months, so blogging is nothing new for me. Running a business however is new, but I’ve always been an entreprenuer at heart.

I’ve honestly been dreaming of owning a boutique for years. Actually I would probably be uber excited doing anything in the fashion industry that doesn’t involve removing censors. I graduated from FIDM earlier this year with a degree in Fashion Merchandise Product Development. When I first applied I thought I wanted to be a fashion designer, and then a switched over to wanting to be boutique owner, and for a while there I thought I would end up working as a sales rep. Well, I still want to do 2/3 of those things. Plus get into styling. Plus continuing writing/blogging. Oh, and did I mention having my own empire? Alright, forget I said that; baby steps.

So why did I decide to create this blog profiling my journey? Mainly to help people, but also just to vent if I ever need to! I know there are a lot of people out there who are interested in what I’m doing and who have question, so hopefully you’ll find your answers here!

The boutique will be online only and it will be called Ooh La Luxe! (oohlaluxe.com). If all goes well it will be open for business around February or March of next year.
