Washington, DC (July 26) L~Shandi is pleased to announce the launch of QuiQui (Kiki) Clutches. The official launch celebration of QuiQui Clutches will be held on Saturday, August 02, 2008 at Caramel Boutique in Washington, DC. L~Shandi’s QuiQui clutches are the first designer hand bags made with African Lace fabrics.
Just like other items in the L~Shandi Collection, QuiQui Clutches are made with embroidered African Lace over a particular base fabric like cotton, voile or silk. The embroidered designs come in different shapes and colors so they are easily customizable. What looks like holes in the fabrics are hand cut eyelets that are part of the fabric design; leaving room for an additional underlay that can be customized.
L~Shandi continues to bring African lace into ready-to-wear and retail fashion forefront and was inspired to design a collection of handbags as an extension to the existing clothing line. Pair any of the L~Shandi QuiQui clutches with jeans for a casual outing or with dressy basic colors for a formal occasion. L~Shandi QuiQui clutches are available exclusively at Caramel Boutique in Washington, DC.
The name L~Shandi is a short for “Lepa Shandi” which is a Nigerian slang for a lady whose ensemble fit flawlessly. Add an L~Shandi QuiQui Clutch to your wardrobe and become a Lepa Shandi.
Join us to celebrate the launch of QuiQui Clutches on Saturday, August 2nd from 10 AM – 6 PM and also enjoy an exclusive L~Shandi Sample Sale at Caramel. All samples will be $100 or less.

Failing Successfully
July 14, 2008 | Leave a Comment
This is your day of divine favor. It will be your day of unusual testimonies. Our topic is “FAILING SUCCESSFULLY.” This may sound like a contradiction. However, our knowledge of success cannot be complete without knowledge on how to handle failure. Unsuccessful people are usually those who are so afraid of failure and rejection that they spend their lives avoiding the risks that could result in failure. They do not realize that those who avoid failure inevitably avoid success.
Successful people are failures who refuse to quit trying. And failures are potentially successful people who give up easily. You see, failure can be a blessing or a curse depending on our attitude. We must see failure as a stepping-stone and not as a stumbling block. With the right attitude, failure will not be fatal, and it will not be final. Successful people refer to their failure as “learning experiences” or “temporary setbacks.” They see their set back as a set-up for them to come up. They know that it is their attitude, not their aptitude that determines their altitude.
Dear friend, have you experienced failures in your marriage, or exams or in your business or in your spiritual life ? That failure is not an end; it is only a bend. Beyond the clouds, the sun is still shining.
I declare by the spirit of God, that failure will give birth to the most powerful testimony of your life. And if you have an interview or exam today, or if you are traveling, please, let’s believe that all will be well.
You will Succeed!
