Firstly, we have news! We will be MOVING to the Historic Downtown Columbus Square (right at the intersection of Hwy 90/Walnut St and Milam St.) by MAY 1st 2010. The building we are moving to is one of the oldest brick buildings in Columbus, and is 600 sq. ft. more than what we have now. So, get ready for MORE SPACE, NEW CLASSES and NEW STUFF!
Also, we did some research on the Fashion Forcast for Spring 2010.
