fgi rising star nomination & other press
31. July 2010
Hot off the press! I have been nominated for a FGI (Fashion Group International) Rising Star Award. I am super excited about this because the last award I won for my business was Entrepreneur of the Year in my graduation class at the Ross School of Business at the University of Michigan. And that might [...]

30. July 2010
Hi everyone! Phew, three months I’ve been reporting – where did the time go?? I hope you’ve been enjoying it as much as I’ve enjoyed getting to know you guys and hearing from you. The past few weeks have been tough ones for me. I’ve hit my point. You know the one? The breaking point. [...]

28. July 2010
Phew. Thank you all for your awesome comments yesterday on my “freak out” post. I rarely do that here on MML, but I think it was nice to let you all into a less than graceful moment of my life that wasn’t full of self-reflection. Though I do my best to keep the bigger picture [...]
sometimes you crack…
27. July 2010
Hey guys. I just wanted to jump in and let you all know that I have intended to write this awesome post all about the PR and desk sides from last week. It was going to be awesome. I was also going to announce (and randomly select) the giveaway winner from the dress contest last [...]
makeunder my week: july 26th, 2010
26. July 2010
(working from my parents’ deck last week) Hi Guys, I hope your weekends were great! Chicago has had quite the heatwave lately but yesterday the humidity and stickiness broke and gave way to a gorgeous and breezy afternoon. I spent it walking along the lakefront with a friend and catching up on chores like cleaning [...]
franklin inventory update
23. July 2010
I just want to pop in and let you all know that I temporarily pulled the Franklin collection off the site while I was in NYC so that I could come back and do a proper inventory. Once I mentioned the mistake in the braille and marked them 50% off, there was a flurry of [...]
piper’s dream report: week eleven
23. July 2010
What a week I’m having! Have I mentioned how much I dislike techie things? Because hold on, I’m about to! I should clarify – I love technology and what it can do. I just don’t like the back-end part of it. Like when your computer won’t work or you have to add a buttons & [...]

22. July 2010
Hi everyone! Though I can’t upload any images at the moment, I want to check in and let you all in on a sweet post I just discovered while reviewing the backlog in my blog reader. Chris over at The Art of Non-Conformity recently posted about: I like this quote from a David Sedaris article. [...]

Good morning! I am on my way to the second day of desk sides: People Style Watch and Real Simple are on the agenda today. Then I visit my PR showroom and meet the girls at Red Light PR for the first time in person. And after that I go to American Express to talk [...]

Hi Guys, As you know, I am now in NYC and will be doing a press tour of sorts for Jess LC. I’m going to do my best to photograph and document the whole process so I can share it with you here on MML next week. In the meantime, I want to share this [...]
piper’s dream report: week ten
17. July 2010
I’m finally coming out of vacation mode and getting back into the real world. It was a struggle…my mind has wanted to stay back on the beach, sipping drinks and reading! But once I started getting back into the groove, I realized how much I missed blogging and working on my store. And the more [...]
franklin pendant update
15. July 2010
I’d like to check in and let you all know about something which came to my attention yesterday right before I left for the airport. It turns out that the program I used to create the Franklin braille necklaces produced the letter preceding each intended letter in the alphabet. For example “BREATHE” came out “AQDASMD.” [...]

Good morning! As you read this I am on my way to O’Hare to catch a flight to my parent’s house. Though I didn’t grow up outside Philly where they live now, I do enjoy the time that I spend in their new home. I also get to spend lots of time with my youngest [...]
letting myself off the hook
13. July 2010
A few years ago Erwin and I used to go running and share our weekly intentions for each of our roles (personal, career, family, significant other, friend…). If you have read Covey’s The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People, this exercise will sound familiar. It is a great way for us to reflect on the [...]

12. July 2010
Hi Guys, I hope you had a great weekend! I spent the last few days barbecuing, hanging out with friends outside, going to the Green City farmer’s market, and sleeping. Man, did I need to catch up on sleep! I’m excited to say that I am leaving for my parent’s house outside of Philadelphia on [...]
piper’s dream report: week nine
9. July 2010
I’m back from vacation! Although I think I’m still on “island time”. I’m trying to cling to that good vibe you only get from vacation. It was pure bliss getting to hang out by the ocean every day – I definitely got into that relaxed state. It’s funny because I’m a typical type-A, stressed out, [...]
make it happen: realistic business
8. July 2010
Today I’d like to share how I’ve gotten many of my business projects off the ground over the past 11 years. There are three practical ways to accomplish big things without a big checking account. I should know: I started Jess LC back when I was 15 with a $5 bag of seed beads. Everything [...]
blogging and business with a dash of Franklin
7. July 2010
Whoa. This interview (3:50 min clip) was aired in January and I just realized that I mentioned the Franklin intention necklaces way back then! I also talk about what I have learned about the intersection of blogging and business through MML and Jess LC. Could be helpful for any other entrepreneurs. (You can see all [...]

Thank you for all of the sweet comments and support for the launch of the new Franklin Intentional Braille Necklaces and lookbook!

6. July 2010
So… the Franklin Collection will be (hopefully) launching tomorrow. I just need to program the shop pages and do some finishing touches to the awesome lookbook. But in the meantime, I wanted to share this video (21 minutes long) I found a few weeks ago from Elizabeth Gilbert at O Magazine’s 10th Anniversary. She does [...]
