The Read | Behind the Business Poppy Barley Weekly 09 July 25, 2014 3-minute read Today, these beautiful images are all about our Limited Edition Collections! Thanks to Brandy from Calgary-fashion blog Cashmere and Camo for sharing photos of her Sunrise Confetti Classic Points (now sold out), and to Penny for Instagramming her Blue Jean Baby Feminine Slippers (34 pairs left)! Here's what happened this week: Our newest team member came in for some head shots (you'll get to meet her in August!) and she brought us some cupcakes from Crave. Yummy and pretty! (And way to score some brownie points before your first day! Or, cupcake points?) Our founders, Justine & Kendall, flew to New York this week for an exciting press opportunity. Meeting with magazine and digital editors throughout a 10-hour day, can you guess what they wore? Surprise! We hosted a secret flats sample sale for our PB Insiders in our hometown of Edmonton.

You can also update your profile address through the footer of any email we send out. After our sample sale, the team hopped, skipped or biked over to the Latitude 53 Patio Party hosted by Red Star. Think great music, cold brews, fresh watermelon and jerk chicken. . . ahhh, summer.
