A Passion for Fashion

It all started with a little girl's passion for clothes. I am Christina Gough and I was the four year old that changed clothes three times a day depending on my mood. My Mom would have to follow a trail of my clothes (and my Great Grandmother's handmade Barbie doll clothes) through friend's houses since I thought upgrading throughout the day was a fabulous idea.

My Mom taught me to always express myself through my clothing and never just follow the latest trends. Following trends was not using my creativity. My Mom and Grandmother were also major influences. Ever since I was a very little girl, I noticed how they dressed up, had beautiful homes, and carried themselves. They seemed to be movie stars in my eyes with an allure and grace that I hoped I would have when I grew up.

When I did grow up, I left the Barbie dolls behind and traded them for text books. I decided that since my Dad was so successful in sales, I could be too. So, I went on to obtain a Business of Administration Degree with a Marketing/Sales minor from California State University Fullerton. Then, I went from textbooks to creating promotional marketing programs for Fortune 100 companies. Eventually, I began running my own company: Outside the Box Promotions. My sales were among the top in the nation.

Then, I became a mother and decided I should play swords and trucks everyday with my boy until he goes to school.

My Dad always taught me to dream big. From my amazingly supportive family and husband, and a special friend, Janet Solomon of www.frenchblueandco.com, this website has been given life. My son now helps me dress up the mannequins and models for me. So, here I am playing with clothes and changing them three times a day again. And, loving every moment. Enjoy!
