*3 snaps*
Dues go to Layla K all the way for giving Polished Jungle the opportunity to show in this years Fashion Week. We have done a few shows together and now it was my turn! It is very expensive to be in FW and she looks out for me. Lay, your heart is beautiful, young, fun and you always manage to stay focus on your goals. Never ever letting anyone or anything get in your way. I admire that. I am learning from her every year. I love you Lay! Blood Sweat & Tears = HAPPINESS
<center>The last 3 weeks have been chaos and no sleep for me. Talk about blood, sweat and tears. Between working at Forever21 and working for Haute.Lanta Fashion Week and trying to get the line together with little to no help. I AM EXHAUSTED! However, through focus and reverence I made it happen. Yes, I and I. Due to me being private I will not disclose issues that go on behind closed doors but know that I love Polished Jungle. I am not afraid to take chances for Polished Jungle. That is exactly what I did. I've learned that people will try to keep you back, intentionally or unintentionally, and if you feel it in your heart that everything will be ok, you go for it. I TOOK IT FOR THE TEAM. Wasn't appreciated but that is fine. </center>

As you all know, Polished Jungle has been on a bit of a Hiatus. Well, my LOVELY partner Nathania has been Keeping you guys updated on the latest in Fashion and also updating you on FashionWeek ATL 2010. I thank her for everything she has done. Now, down to business. I've sat, researched, sketched & done EVERYTHING else to make sure Polished Jungle appeals to EVERY crowd. No, Polished Jungle will NOT be one of those "street wear" lines. It will be more on the lines of Chic. Polished Jungle means ALOT to the both of us, which is why we look at it as our "love child". We are hard at work to ensure the public that they will be VERY satisfied when we drop. Stay on the look out...
