Paulina Castelli
Director of Sales for Palladium Boots/K-Swiss
She was so sweet and informative of the brand. She really familiarized us of the inspiration behind the line and truly captured our full attention while doing so. "Palladium was founded in 1920 to make tires for the fledgling aviation industry. Tires were made by layering canvas bands underneath vulcanized rubber. Palladium’s expertise was so advanced that soon the majority of Europe’s aircraft were using Palladium tires. Today, the original design, classic lines and time tested utility are as relevant as they have ever been. Combining over 60 years of authenticity with modern manufacturing, premium materials and cutting edge styling, Palladium boots are ready to help you explore your street, your city, or the world."

What I really found intriguing about this brand, was this program they are building called Explorations. Palladium is visiting cities around the world, wearing cutting edge boots, and exploring causes in hopes to raise awareness. Here is a sample video featuring Johnny Knoxville, hustling the streets of Detroit whaaat!
Sheree Fahey
Creator and Designer for Shu Shu Belts
Sheree is just one awesome lady! As Dana and I were approaching her booth, with so much enthusiasm, she showed Dana a picture of her adorable Jack Terrier Russell (drawing a blank on the cuties name) She said a girlfriend of hers' was doggie-sitting for her back home who had texted her a picture of her little guy hehe she just had to share with someone! Lucky for us, that started a great conversation! Sheree's belts are all handmade and one of a kind. Her business card even says "Guaranteed to have people stop you and ask about your belt!" See for yourself here: http://www.shushubelts.com Oh and did I forget to mention that her inspiration behind her first belt was her little four legged friend lol so cute! She was a super sweet person, who just so happened to always have a knack for creating, painting and designing. A fun fact, Sheree told us that one day she was walking around town, and someone approached her about her belt, soon after they were featured in 100 different stores!! She truly signifies that if you want it bad enough, it will happen, if YOU make it happen!
Suzy Lequeux
Creator and Designer for Rossmore Jewelry
Talk about a sweet heart!! Suzy was such a blast to speak with! We approached her booth, and right away she told us to start playing and trying on jewelry. Hello, every girl's favorite word's right?? Suzy owns a line by the name of Rossmore, http://www.rossmorela.com
a jewelry line, which inspires a mission to spread love and light through jewelry. Art, fashion, and music too!! I think we're Soul Sisters, she just doesn't know it yet ;) All of her products are designed and handmade in LA, and she draws inspiration from everything to sea shells and handmade sculpted wire. She seemed really stoked and supportive toward the message of Raw Femme, so I'm sure you'll hear more about her amazing creations in the near future. Suzy was nice enough to give Dana and I two wishing bracelet's, where we tie it three times while making three wishes, then burn the ends. We can't wait to do it and send pics to her. Hopefully her beautiful ora will help grant us those very much needed wishes :)
A thank you to all three lovely ladies, and the many other designers we had the pleasure of meeting. I can't wait for the next show! I put together a little video of our day, unfortunately being as I didn't have the best camera equipment, no live interviews took place. Next time, next time!! Love to all my Femme's and the men we love!
