FFANY: Rough Justice
by JULIA
Costina and I got to talk to the wonderful people at Rough Justice for a short time while on our FFANY adventure. They were very excited to announce the re-launching of the line for Spring ’11. Here are some pictures. These were my favorite. This one screams glamour! Classic meets trendy. Heather, the PR Rep at Rough Justice, was so nice to take a bit of time to talk to us about what’s going on with the b…

Kristy Terry Rocks!

Jim referred her to me because I wanted to get them involved with my last fashion show. I received this bubbly energetic email from Kristy and the…
Gee WaWa-Gotta love this new comfort brand!
by JULIA
This specific shoe was featured in Footwear News and I can see why! It’s nice. During FFANY last June, I literally was walking by the Gee WaWa booth on my way out to a meeting and I was stopped in my tracks. Something about this brand caught my eye. I ended up chatting with the sales rep who then introduced me to Jim Barnier (who then introduced me to the guys from Rough Justice, so of course he is my friend) who is the Des…
Rough Justice….Super Cool Guys and Super Cool Shoes!
by JULIA
Bodo, Lee and Jeff….Love these guys! I have to be honest. I try and not freak out over shoe brands in front of my readers because I like to stay bias and I really want this site to be about the people behind the shoes, BUT I just can’t help but express my LOVE LOVE LOVE for the new brand Rough Justice. I was introduced to them at FFANY last month and just fell head over heels. The brand consists of three partners, Bod…
