Update

Hey everybody- all five of you that read this blog. LOL. Soon very soon I will really make this blog fun and at least try and update 3 times a week and make it more interactive. We'll see. In the meantime My website is FINALLY going to be up very very soon. Tashia. www.tashiacreative.com is doing my website. She is really the only one that REALLY understands what I need and understands what the brand is about. She totally GETS it! From
I have been really busy and dont like to compromise and wanted to do it right. She has been responsible for my site from the beginning and lately with wholesale orders I have been soo overwhelmed. Anyway in a month It WILL be up and running. With a BANG!! Yippeee www.koketso.com I will have all the updates and stores beacuse we are in over 30 stores now.




The pictures above are really KOKETSO, the brand. Its fun and all about comfort. I make clothes and not costumes. I make clothes that people WEAR. Its important for me that people be comfortable when wearing the clothes and they can dance, laugh, jump and without worrying if buttons will pop off or zippers will come undone. Its a happy and fun positive line throughout beacuse that is ME... who I am. Koketso.
We shot on location// way back in FEB. lmao! Out of over 600 pics you have to choose what best represnts the clothing. Yetunde sells it and Joe( www.josephkeller.com) is just a good photographer.

Bags and Beyonce!

The last couple of weekes have been really crazy!! Just busy busy busy busy. Yes! that busy. i really hope that once I am fully settled I can blog as often as i'd like to and keep it fun and informative in my style.
This past Friday was very intersting. I went to beads world on 38th & broadway where I go almost every otherday. i get my tray and look acroos the aisle and who do Isee with a tray in her hand too? BEYONCE!!!! Yep Beyonce was there with her mom and her cousin/ assistant Angie. Beyonce up close and personal is REALLY gorgeous. I spoke to her for a lil bit and her ousin and they are really cool. You know I was looking at the bags and the clothing. Beyonce had a Jimmy Choo bag, her cousin had a chanel big classic style quilted bag and her mom had an YSL bag and some van cleef and arpels jewelry. Diamonds galore!! bling blinging but very tasteful.. Beyonces Mom is very tiny actually. I am thinking maybe they are making smaples for the tradeshows in Vegas in August and maybe introducing a jewelry line to their accessories. What really impressed me is that she is really hands on and involved in the creative process. So GO Beyonce! There were only about 5 people in the store and once people heard after about 15mins or so people started pouring in to the store and had to be sent out. Chaos!!

I am having all these celeb run-ins lately. Debra Messing came to the designer market too a few weeks back and just stood at my booth talking for a while. She is very funny and has a great sense of humor. She got one of these leather bracelets with the chunky chain. These are just accessories that compliment the handbags because having them actually helps at the trade shows because when ordering the bags its always nice that you have a full line of bags belts and some leather accessories for merchandising.

I did ask to take her picture..to which she very politely declined and I should have known better than to do that because she was not picture ready and she had her very big dog on a leash plus and these shoes
