Shhhh.

Secrets secrets are no fun.


Unless you're the secret keeper that is.


Here's a few hints:


It's a whale of tale, that's for sure.


Water is involved.


Lots of water to be exact.





And that's all you get.


Stay tuned for the answer very soon.





Happy Shopping!

Domestic Goddess







Once in a great while,

You've got to kick off your heels,

And do some yard work.


Then reward yourself and go to ViVi G. SHOES for some new spring sandals...



Happy Shopping!

Eye See You.

Being that I am a one year old now, I have decided to add reading glasses for some sophistication. Which brings me to a thought. What shall I wear in the sun? Certainly, these will not do. I know! Tory Burch Sunglasses! Arriving anyday, I simply cannot wait to get my paws on a pair. Last year, we sold out in a few weeks. Hmm, what to choose? Oversized rectangular shapes to emphasize cheek bones? Foldable aviators for functionality? I simply can't decide. But. When these babies do arrive. You can be certain that I will notify the ViVi G. girls. Only after I get my paws on a pair of course. Happy Shopping! xoxo Ruby Star xoxo

Zippity Do Dah!

I just can't get over our new jewelry from Kenneth Jay Lane...
The craftmanship.
The colors!
The prices!
We have even more arriving any day now!
I can see why the Kenneth Jay Lane showroom was so busy in NYC.
Mr. Lane makes everything a girl could ever imagine in baubles.
Necklaces with strawberries, cuffs with gems, brooches with jaguars, & more!


My oh My What a Wonderful Day!

Flip Flop Yip Yap


I must tell you of our new shipment today... Flip Flops.
Diane Von Furstenberg flip flops to be exact.
With leather soles and really cute love knot designs.

DVF designed these last year and we sold out very quickly.

Now, they are back and better than ever with super neutral colors and metallic hues.

Think tan legs and warm summer breezes.

Pedicures and ladies' lunches.

Drinks outside in the evening.

Beach side sunning.

Poolside laying.

Who doesn't love the versatility of flip flops?

These aren't just any old rubber flop.

They are chic, comfy, and cute.
(The 3 very important "C's")

Pair them with yoga pants during the day.

Pair them with a dress at night.
If I didn't have four toes with a very odd thumb that goes up my front paws, I would definitely be strolling around ViVi G. in the white ones.
Enjoy the upcoming warm weather and for goodness sakes grab a pair of DVF flip flops!

Happy Shopping!

It's a Charmed Life...




Today's activities got me thinking...what is it about charm bracelets that make women swoon?
I couldn't help but notice the number of women coming in and admiring the new line of charms that we just got in.
One would have thought we were giving away Delman stilettos.
Then I realized the emotions that are involved in charm bracelets.
Here are some common statements that I overheard from my plush pink bed beside the counter:

"Oh, I must get this birthstone for when my daughter was born!"
"I can't believe you have a charm of an Oreo cookie, my favorite snack growing up!"
"OMG, you have a boot charm!"
"Perfect! You have a house charm! We just bought our first home!"
"OMG, the diamond pave puffy heart is gorgeous...give it to me!"
...and many more "OMG'S" and "Awwww's"

I realized we were selling these like hotcakes because it captures everyone's "story"
Even if women were starting out with one charm, say their initial.
It still says something about the person wearing the little trinket.
It's the beginning of a story that will be told.
Have you noticed charm bracelets never go out of style?
I mean really though, how could something so beautiful and unique ever "go out of style"?
This my dear friends is the REAL style.
A story on your wrist, or in ViVi G.'s case, wrist or necklace because, duh? We have both.
THAT is the biggest trend of all...
Our charms won't break the bank.
You won't see yourself coming and going.
You will glance down and smile; knowing this design you created on your own.
Okay, or with some help from a ViVi G. girl who suggested you put the cupcake charm next to the peace sign.
But, you get it.
It's your own creation and you get to wear it proudly.'
So here's the moral of the story...
I know EVERYTHING there is to know about charm bracelets.
I did in fact lay in my bed for 7 hours while watching and listening to women create their masterpieces.
And if you ask me my favorite charm?
That would be the ever so handsome silver Labrador wearing an enamel coat.
A girl can only wish.
For now, that charm is going on my collar...mom says I'm too young to date.
Have a "charmed" morning everyone!

Happy Shopping!
