Staff Picks: Kirsten

So excited to bring back Staff Picks!

This week I’m thrilled to talk to Kirsten [kirs10alexa], our Production Coordinator. I HAD to ask her a few questions, so you guys get to know her better. She’s the newest edition to our small, hardworking, and adorable team. 

So if you don’t like something... IT’S ALL KIRSTEN’S FAULT!!! 

NICK NAME:

"In my first year in high school, I went by the name 'Minnie' back then I thought it was cool. looking back now ... oh man what was I thinking. But one of my closest friends calls me by "kirs" its no nickname but hey its better then Minnie."

POSITION:

"Production Coordinator at Preloved. I love the creative side when it comes to picking and selecting the vintage for the up coming styles for the season. You never know what you'll find when you're at the Rag houses. To see the Final Product is my favourite part of the job!"

A MOVIE THAT MADE YOU CRY:

"UP! You would never except a Disney movie  to start off with such a sad story. When it first starts off with Carl and Ellies as kids, then later shows their lives together. The death of his wife made me cry"

FAVOURITE TORONTO PAST-TIME:

"Being a young mom and working like crazy, can get overwhelming. So in my past time I like to take trips on the ferry boat to the Island and walk around. Just enjoying the view especially in the fall and winter, as the leafs fall or when it's snowing, its just so beautiful."

LISTENING TO:

"I've been recently listening to a lot of Mariah Carey. From 1995- 2010 Mariah Carey's albums never gets old. I like listening to music in the late 90's/early 2000"

Preloved Presents TWENTY with Shannon

We had Shannon Murree come by the Preloved design studio and we had a blast! 

Shannon is a wife, mother, investor and all around business woman. She is passionate about activism and philanthropy all while being a licensed REALTOR®. Owner and licensee of Simcoe County MOMpreneur®, CEO and founder of Canadian Women Investment Network™ (WIN). As well as Director of charity organization Prom Blitz Project. A charity that promotes self-confidence and unique beauty by providing prom dresses to high school girls that can't quite afford them. It has been such a privilege to meet a fellow "momprenuer" that rules out the notion that we can't have everything. Because we sure can! I'm so happy to have Shannon come on board to Preloved family and so thankful for her support.

Learn more about Shannon by visiting her site www.movingsimcoe.com or follow her on twitter @RealtorChicky and to connect with other super moms like Shannon follow @SimcoeBizMoms !

Shannon wears the Crimson sweatshirt and Julia wears the Kat sweatshirt.

How We Do It: Liza Skirt

Lexie and our intern Megan are hard at work cutting out the original waistband of vintage jeans to make part of our Liza skirts! These skirts are truly made in Canada with lots of love. (Next time we'll be sure to coordinate design and production better, so Lexie and Megan won't be stuck slicing and dicing denim for hours again!) No worries, the Liza skirt will be available on our site in April.
