JAMAH 
BE WHO YOU ARE 
 
JAMAH handbags are beautifully designed and fabulously chic handbags that allow women to express their creativity through fashion. But what truly makes them unique is the high level of Made in the USA craftsmanship and quality. 
 
Socially conscious, JAMAH, is a founding partner of “In True Fashion”, an organization created by a collaborative group of fashion designers to build self-esteem in today’s American youth and to bring attention to fashionable products manufactured in the USA. The mission of the movement is to increase awareness of the effect that overseas manufacturing has on our economy and on our children’s future, to preserve the rich heritage of American craftsmanship in the U.S. fashion industry and ensure job security for the youth of tomorrow for many years to come. 
 
Simplistic beauty characterizes JAMAH’s original collection of handbags, clutches, accessories and unisex travel bags. Swahili for “be who you are,” JAMAH’s distinctive designs have quickly become a must-have for Hollywood celebrities, such as Angelina Jolie, Jessica Alba, Jennifer Love-Hewitt, Eva Longoria, Teri Hatcher and Brad Pitt. The line has also been featured in many magazines, such as InStyle, US, and Jane as well as on television’s Extra.  
 
JAMAH has created “timeless-with-a-twist” designs distinguishable by their fusion of elegant form and rich, sophisticated colors. Fashioned from luxurious Italian leather and hardware, JAMAH bags are subtly trendy, yet classic. Proudly hand made in the USA, functionality and durability are as much a feature of JAMAH bags as their stunning aesthetic. From meticulous hand-stitching and metal “feet” that protect the bag’s underside, to contoured and detachable shoulder straps that provide unsurpassed comfort, A JAMAH bag is destined to be an indispensable and long-lasting staple in the most discerning of wardrobes. Appreciating that beauty is found both inside and out, JAMAH ensures that the suede lining of each bag is crafted with the same care and eye for perfection as the exterior. 
 
Founded in Marina del Rey, California in 2000, JAMAH spent six years as the resource for the most wanted luxury corporate gifts in Hollywood. After six years, designer Nancy Gale sensed a demand in the retail arena for men's and women's products that were neither staid nor frivolous, and JAMAH handbags were born. Regardless of the trend, a JAMAH bag will always be in fashion. 
 
JAMAH is available to consumers online via their shopper-friendly website www.jamah.com and in select boutiques throughout the U.S., including LA’s Fred Segal and Kitson, as well as in Japan and Korea.

Your walking along feeling quite confident in your favorite long jeans and open back high heels when suddenly the fabric of your pants bunches between your heel and shoe. YIKES! A Heel Wedgie! Not feeling so confident anymore.  
 
Kix By Katie is an innovative new 'fashion fixer' that simply adheres to the inside, back hemline of your pants. This handy little device keeps the bottom of your pants flat and straight in that problem area where your shoe flip flops up and down.  
 
With Kix By Katie we can now wear our long flattering pants and open back high heels with confidence....and Say Goodbye to Heel Wedgies! 
 
Kix By Katie is the creation of (me) Katie Johnson. I'm a house wife and mom from Seaside, Oregon. I am also an ongoing member of Ladies Who Launch in Portland, Oregon.

Hi! My name is Christa-Jean I'm the founder of PetiteFashionista.com. With the support that I get from the members of Ladies Who Launch, my "little" blog that I started less then 2 years ago is expanding! Who knew there were so many other petite ladies who needed advice on how to dress their little frames. By the end of this month PF will relaunch into an interactive site where petite fashionistas can share tips, shopping based on location and so more. To go along with the new site their will be weekly video podcasts and we start shooting next week. Lastly, to kick this new venture off right, there will be the first ever all petite event in Toronto's trendiest neighborhood, Yorkville!

Want to upgrade from framed posters to original art in your décor? 
 
Are you intimidated at the prospect of walking into an Rart gallery to buy a work of art – or even just browse? 
 
Is your collection growing and you want some straightforward advice about where to hang your new work or what to purchase next? 
 
Raandesk Gallery of Art was launched to make art collecting a contemporary and enjoyable experience. Virtually based, Raandesk showcases original, contemporary art by emerging artists working in a variety of media. ‘Virtually-based’, existing online and in temporary alternative site spaces makes browsing and buying art less intimidating – and accessible. ‘Emerging artists’ have art pieces that are themselves affordable, as works are priced based on the quality of the work and the artists’ true value today, with potential to grow in value in the future.  
 
‘Raandesk’ is hip, cool, unique, interesting – a noun, a verb, or an adjective – a word I imagined when I was young and have kept in my vocabulary. It was the perfect name for my gallery. I’m a member of the New York Incubator of Ladies Who Launch, and since I joined last year, I’ve experienced some of the best partnerships, professional contacts and good friendships with other women like me. It’s been amazing.  
 
The art bug struck me when I was young, and despite taking a different path as an attorney, my dream to have my own art gallery never faded. In 2005 I launched Raandesk online to showcase an eclectic, intriguing and evocative mix of original paintings, photography, drawings and sculpture. Today, the gallery includes over 300 artworks from more than two dozen international artists. To make art more inviting, I extend the reach of the web site with exhibitions and special events in alternative site venues such as wine bars, restaurants, industrial space, law firms, private condominiums and other business spaces. I also offer Art Rental and Art Consultation for individuals and companies that want to add more art to their worlds. My eventual goal is to do spend less time practicing law – and more time sharing art!  
 
thank you,

FASHION DISASTERS ARE MORE COMMON THAN YOU REALIZE 
 
Why is it that those fabulous outfits that worked in the store don’t jump out at you when you are rushing to get ready for work?  
Does this "Fashion Morning Sickness" sound all too familiar? 
 
This frustration is an all-too-common occurrence and why Viviana Rueda, founder of Vivendi Fashionista, has developed easy-to-use solutions. 
 
Her customized image consulting packages address many of life’s major occurrences such as mothers returning to the workforce, new jobs or career changes, weight gain or loss, plastic surgery and creative image solutions for the newly single and dating.  
 
Her no-nonsense business approach coupled with her attention to the individual results in a formula for personal branding and image success.  
 
Viviana’s approach is unique in that she not only looks at the individual’s wardrobe but she studies everything that makes up their personal brand. She takes styling to a new level, with the same professionalism and focus that you would apply to branding a corporation. Think of it as branding for the individual.

I love this invitation for "beauty+wellness" entrepreneurs! That's me! 
 
I created my business, Maternitique, to provide fashion-forward women with a one-stop resource for safe, luxurious products to use during pregnancy, birth, breastfeeding and for baby.  
 
Maternitique's goals: women who feel beautiful throughout pregnancy and mothering, babies who are healthier and safer, and socially responsible business practices that make our whole world better.  
 
In the 21st century, we moms want to look our best, feel our best and do our best. Motherhood doesn't change that. For many of us, becoming mothers deepens our commitment to ourselves, our bodies, our children and our environment. 
 
So why do healthy pregnancy products sound weird or smell bad? Why has "natural" come to mean "neutral," as in oatmeal-colored everything? Why can't we be beautiful throughout our pregnancies without worrying about toxic ingredients affecting our babies? 
 
To open Maternitique in November 2007, I searched extensively for attractive, beauty-enhancing products that combine the best of science and the wisdom of traditional wellness for modern moms—what I call “maternity evolved naturally.”  
 
I screen our body care, beauty and nutritional supplements to ensure that their ingredients enhance mom and baby health naturally. In addition to safety, I also give careful attention to the products' quality and efficacy: if you don't love your Maternitique purchase, let us know within 30 days and we'll refund your purchase cost 100%. Our brands are just that good!  
 
There have long been stores and products for women who have a high level of comfort in "Earthy" kinds of resources. I want Maternitique to reach the women who *aren't* really comfortable with herbal remedies or organic cosmetics.  
 
I think our brands impress even the most discriminating shoppers and it would be an honor to see if the SpinDaily audience agrees! 
 
Thanks for your consideration. 
 
Cheers, 
 
Tara M. Bloom

I created Pomessence to build confidence in women. Like many women, I was comfortable but not fulfilled. In my 30's I wondered if there was something bigger that I could create. Because part of my job is consulting I found that I had a talent for making others feel good about themselves so I set out to help women unleash their potential. 
 
Through my research I learned that the key to a great product is finding the right two or three ingredients to work together synergistically. Pomessence is a powerful anti-oxidant skincare system based on the unique combination of pomegranate and pycnegenol. This easy to use, 3-step system is a MUST for women who want to look as young as they feel and aren't willing to be a slave to over-priced, over complicated skincare regimes. 
 
Pomessence consists of a crystal clear Daily Cleanser with pro-vitamin B-5, a Moisturizing Exfoliant with 5% gycolic acid that is gentle enough to leave on your skin all day, and a Daily Moisturizer that has a great lightweight feel. 
 
A video on SpinDaily would be the perfect way to help me reach more women and spread the confidence that comes from knowing your skin looks its best!

Raandesk Gallery of Art was created to help answer these questions and to make art collecting a contemporary and an enjoyable experience. The Raandesk Gallery of Art is a virtually-based gallery with original, contemporary art by emerging artists working in a variety of media.

I'm an attorney by day and gallerist by night, and am also a very happy Ladies Who Launch New York Incubator member since 2007. 
 
In 2005 I officially launched Raandesk Gallery of Art online (www.raandeskgallery.com) to showcase an eclectic, intriguing and evocative mix of original paintings, photography, drawings and sculpture.

Something different and sexy... 
 
I would love to see Tantra become the new trend and I think a video on Spin Daily could be a great opportunity to educate a slew of new friends about how amazing life can be when we are supported by the Tantric meditations. So, not only are we all looking fabulous, but we are also loving ourselves, our bodies and having GREAT sex! 
 
The Embody Tantra website is dedicated to educating modern minds on the ancient secrets of Tantra. We also offer classes and retreats throughout the Los Angeles area. 
 
Contrary to popular belief, Tantra is not all about sex. It is actually a path of meditation…what sets it apart from other ‘paths’ is that it looks to the wisdom of the body and the senses as a means to becoming more present and alive in every aspect of our life. Tantra sees lovemaking as an important key in accessing ‘bliss’ or ‘ecstasy’. Our bodies have a deep wisdom that modern life has become accustomed to ignoring. Tantra uses simple exercises including breath, movement, sound, and communication techniques to help us re-discover the wisdom of the body and uncover deeper and deeper levels of pleasure. 
 
The work of Embody Tantra is an integration of all elements of life. It brings the essence of lovemaking and pleasure to all that one does, viewing relationship as a fertile ground for growth and self-awareness. Removing anything that stands in the way of an honest and loving connection and making way for delight in all things.

Kendra Studio Jewelry (KSJ) - One of a Kind, Sexy, You 
www.myksj.com 
917 204 5509 
 
I am writing in response to your search for a fun and charismatic designer and I would very much  
like to be considered! 
 
I am the owner, designer and maker of Kendra Studio Jewellery, a gorgeous and sexy line of jewellery that captures a unique blend of the Native American technique of mosaic stone inlay with the simple elegance of contemporary design. Every piece is a one of kind, for each stone and shell is hand cut and hand polished - no two pieces are identical.  
 
The work that I do has not been considered very "sexy" or appealing. Its messy, its dirty, its hard on the nails, but I love it! I am called a "rockhound" and am usually crawling around on the floors of rock shops all across the country. I buy all my stones in the rough and do all the cutting/polishing myself. That's right, a woman with BIG power tools! 
 
Kendra Studio Jewellery represents a very unique kind of vision. The KSJ line represents several varied themes - repeated geometric patterns as seen in ancient artwork as well as those found in natural, organic patterns such as leaves, feathers, fish fins and coral reef. The most recent inspiration was awakened during a trip when I came face-to-face with the bold Mayan ruins of Guatemala and witnessed the amazing beauty of life under the sea in Belize. Each piece adorns the body with the same mysterious wonder and splendor as the earth and sea objects from which they were inspired and created. 
 
Proceeds of the KSJ 3-drop Feather Pendant go to support NEST a non-profit organization that sets up microfinance loans to women in developing countries who want to set up their own creative business to support themselves, their families and communities.

Fashion should be fun, modern, and most importantly fitting!  
 
At 4’11”, I know how extremely frustrating it is to find great-looking cosmopolitan styles that fit. I never shopped in petite departments since those clothes always looked middle-aged, and of course, children’s departments would look too adolescent.  
 
So what was a modern chick to do? I started designing clothes that were glam on style and complimented the petite woman. And thus, TLE DESIGNS (pronounced “T-Lay”) was founded in the summer of 2007 for the petite, carefree fashionista who lives life large. Each item is hand-made by me and available in limited prints and styles. 
 
I would be perfect for SpinDaily because your viewers are always looking for the next best, stylish thing that can set them apart visually from the rest. TLE Designs fills the niche for petite women who are craving hip, glam clothes and accessories that are unique.

As a \"lady\" and now one of \"Ladies who Launch\" I couldn\'t get to that point where I was just letting my ugly tan bra straps hang out of my strappy t -shirts or my little summer dresses. Yikes, that\'s my underwear and it\'s not that pretty anymore! 
 
Strappy\'s Decorative Bra Straps was born out of necessity. It started with adorning fabric straps so I would have fashionable straps peeking out of my tops, but it evolved into jewelry, rhinestone and beaded straps that will add life to anything you wear.  
 
Once you start wearing these smart interchangeable straps, you are hooked. They easily replace removable straps on your convertible bra. With Strappy\'s selection of over 42 straps, there is sure to be a strap that will match your outfit.  
 
I have really enjoyed the feedback I have gotten from the gals who have tried Strappy\'s. They all seem so excited and relieved to have found a product that allows them to have more fashion choices and less fashion faux pas - slipping strapless bras or tacky bra straps hanging out! 
 
Now, let your straps show...Fashionably
