I know, I know, it’s been too long . . . I’m still here, going strong.  It’s just been a weird past few months - has it been that long (one, two, three, four, five, almost six months)?  So I have been working to bring Fall 2009 into stores, which has taken longer than expected . . . things I cant control, I guess.  But those adorable Fall denims are on their way - I, myself, am so excited to wear the new styles - especially the Super Skinny Kolohe . . . with a fun nod to the 80’s with some great gold zipper details!  YUMMY!

And, did you hear?  I finally opened that web store I’ve been slaving away at  . . . it’s up there in cyberspace for all to view - www.allisonizu.com/store, so check it out, forward it to friends, and shop away!

Also, I’ll be participating in the Hawaii Women’s Expo this upcoming weekend - September 11 - 13th at the Neal Blaisdell Center (do they still call it NBC?)  I’ll be at Booth #23 with Fall 08 denim from $76 and Spring 09 denim from $102 - It you purchase Kathryn’s book - the Ultimate Guide to Shopping on Oahu - you can get an additional 20% off!

Speaking of Kathryn Drury Wagner - I’ll be joining her on a “fashion panel” with Alyssa Fung of Fashionista’s Market, Allison from Alliway and Alyson from Lei Chic (that’s a lot of Allison’s huh?)  Saturday at 11 am.  So come by and check us out!

I also just got back from LA - attended the Fred Segal birthday bash at a posh Mailbu home . . . I also donated a sweet gift basket to raise funds for the Boys & Girls Club!  It was a fun and exciting experience to be there in the midst of Fred Segal himself!  But I guess that’s life in LA, for you, huh?

While in LA, I got to tour some denim fabric houses, meet with an AMAZING manufacturer - who is going to work to make Spring 2010 even better than any other Allison Izu line!  Lil hint, I have been working to test some washes and treatments and some delicious new denim fabrics too.  So stay tuned,  and I’ll see you at some of the upcoming events.

Remember, I’m here for you - so email me, post, facebook, twitter - whatevers . . .
