March 22, 2012 - Kim Kardashian launches new perfume, True Reflection,
with an event benefitting Dress for Success

We had a lovely time with Kim Kardashian during the launch of her new perfume, True Reflection! Our women were asked to enter an essay contest that asked each of them what their "True Reflection" was. 15 finalists were chosen, and Kim came to our office to announce the 3 winners! Those 3 amazing women were then styled by Kim in our boutique, and walked the red carpet at her launch party that evening! Thank you Kim Kardashian for such a great opportunity!
