We're hoping that here we will blog more often & with more photos. At our old blog, we had set goals like "tutorial tuesdays" to force ourselves to post weekly at the very least. We weren't getting many responses to our posts & then we missed posting on those days it was a bit discouraging. A wise woman named Oprah once told her recurring guest Kirstie Alley that she shouldn't set herself goals if she knew that they were nearly impossible because she would set herself up for failure. So we're not gonna be too lofty here and aim to "wear that bikini on tv", but hope to post regularly again-- like the good ol' days :)
If you're new to the world of Lipgloss and Black, here's what you've missed:
Sam and I are sisters and independent clothing and accessory designers. Business started in 2004 when we began making cutesy tote bags and selling them on livejournal. We'd always been a bit off-beat fashion-wise and found it tough to find clothes that were unique in stores. We often reconstructed and altered our own clothes and soon we began to feel confident enough in our sewing ability to share our reconstructed clothing with the world. We sold our wares via ebay for a while and then switched our shop over to etsy. We were featured in CosmoGirl magazine in 2007 as top inspiring aspiring designers or something ;). Up until 2008, L&B had been a part-time endeavour, as we were both in school studying, but finally we've decided to not get real jobs and struggle to make a living from what we love. We're always struggling and always trying to be creative so it should be pretty interesting to see what we're up to ♥
