I was privileged to meet with Marcia Kilgore for a mentoring session last week and who better given she has created three exceptional companies – Bliss, Fitflop and Soap and Glory. She shared her knowledge and insights with ease and honesty in the same way she does with her brands.  Here is a women who is truly passionate about creating products that offer real solutions whilst proving you can still have fun in the process.  By the way, I am delighted to own a pair of fitflops and I can confirm, they are supremely comfortable,look and feel good and the icing on the cake, they make me stand tall and boost my every walking moment in terms of fitness; it is no wonder over 4 million pairs have sold to date and to get your pair, visit www.fitflop.com.

I attended a beauty industry talk this morning (more on why in January), of which the guest speaker was Marcia Kilgore;  founder of Bliss Spa’s, Soap and more recently the Fitflop. Marcia was inspirational, authentic and clearly passionate about life.  I then, finally managed to get to the London outpost of Anthropologie on Regent Street.  I felt as if I had walked into Merci in Paris, which was a little disappointing as I wanted something different, but that’s me being super picky.  If you have not been to Merci, this will be a real treat, but it is the merchandising that is captivating, rather than the merchandise, which if have a good eye, you would find in Portobello Market or similar for considerably less.  That being said, it worth a visit and if you can’t make it to London, try their site – image below taken from www.anthropologie.co.uk
