One Giant Leap....

What a LEAP OF FAITH!  This past Sunday Felix Baumgartner took one of the biggest leaps of faith we will ever witness.  He and a team of 300 people worked for 5 years to break the world record for the highest skydive.  They also wanted to break the speed of sound, which means mach speed or over 690 miles per hour.  One would think the hardest part would have been taking the actual LEAP!  Felix seemed to have no fear.  

It is a great reminder that if you are not living on the edge, pushing the limits, you may be taking up too much space!  

We are kind of like the Mall....

Being an online retailer you would think that we would not be thinking about putting up our holiday decorations in October!!  But alas we are not excluded in the joys of preparing for the holiday season.   Our process may be more behind the scenes and not as obvious as store decorations.  

Are they really putting them up already??  Does it getting any scarier???!!! 

We have been focused this week on planning ahead for the biggest retail season of the year.  One step was making sure that the Leap of Faith Clothing Etsy Store was fully revised and stocked.  One of the challenges with having an Etsy store and a regular shopping cart is the maintainence.  Keeping one store loaded and accurate is hard enough!  Etsy has come a long way, but the ability to pull over styles, or export/import styles has not happened yet.  We can not wait for the day.  Our accuracy will improve tripple fold...we are only human afterall!  So please visit our new and improved Etsy shop.  Of course all the same products can still be found at www.leapoffaithclothing.com.  

Another was to gear up our advertising efforts.  We have a pretty awesome marketing strategy in place and we are hoping that it pays off in the next few months!  Look out for our Ads on Google, Facebook, Etsy and your favorite blogs!

We are happy to say that we have lowered prices on 95% of all of our products.  We hope that this will help us all out over the holiday season!  

                                                     HAPPY HOLIDAYS LOF STYLE!!!!!  

As SEEN in Charlotte Fashion week...

We were pretty excited to have the chance to participate in the recycled portion of Charlotte Seen's Fashion week.  The process of personalizing our CAPES yields quite a bit of leftover vinyl.  So building on this medium we thought it would be cool to add in another type of vinyl...records! All while keeping with the CAPE theme! We are excited to see our design walk down the runway!  Keep in mind this is suppose to be over the top!  How cool is it to see Leap of Faith Clothing on the big screen? 

It is hard to see but Jax is wearing a CAPE made out of records!

Strong Women Make a Strong Economy!

Strong Women Make a Strong Economy!

As we hear about the steady rate of unemployment – or, in some cases, how the percentage has increased for the worse – we might start to feel like a turn-around for the economy is not just around the corner. Americans are worried and rightfully so, with unemployment rates hanging on around 8% for the past six months (ncsl.org) and many unable to find work even after having looked for months. However grim the prospect may seem, there is good news – entrepreneurs and small businesses which have started growing are giving people the opportunities they need and can't find in bigger companies.

The most startling – and impressive – fact is that women are contributing a massive amount to growing the job pool and providing opportunities for millions of Americans. According to Allison Silver of the AmEx Open forum, "women owned businesses employ 40% more people than the three largest employers combined" – and this includes McDonald's, IBM, and Wal-mart! That means there are 8.3 million women-owned businesses in the US, which is more than the amount of citizens in 50% of the world's countries (AmEx Open Forum). A staggering number, but it just goes to show how driven women are and just how much of a difference we can make in the community!

As women-owned businesses take off, we need a way to connect with each other and network, to share advice, tips, and our stories. All people thrive and motivate each other, but women especially need this sort of network, deriving strength and optimism from each other. Meet-up groups and networking events aimed specifically for women entrepreneurs and mompreneurs are starting to catch on, but we still have a long ways to go. That's why I started Queen Bee's – to give my home city, Charlotte, a steady networking group where women could come together and share, help each other, and just have a good time! Hopefully as time goes on, women-owned businesses will continue to get recognition for the truly awesome things we've done – there's some super strong ladies out there and I can attest to that!

If you're one of the many Americans still out of work and still looking – don't give up hope. Keep yourself visible by going to networking events and make friends and connections that will last years to come. Who knows? The best place to get started might be at a women entrepreneurs' group!
