They are simple, and easy to wear; but tailored enough to show curves without being vulgar. Her ability to mix prints and textures in a tasteful, but modern way draw consumers to her pieces that can be mixed and matched. Jen Kao is definitely a rising star in the fashion industry who will be popular among trend setters for years to come.

Litter

I know that this is a fashion blog, but I had to post about two very inspiring entrepreneurs that recently appeared on the ABC hit reality show Shark Tank.

The show allows everyday people to pitch their business ideas to very powerful investors. The entrepreneurs I am speaking of are two sisters from the San Francisco area that started a jewelry line, Litter, in 2009.
