I hope everyone has had a wonderful Fourth of July Celebration with their families, friends and loved ones. I’m also hoping that everyone is enjoying the beauty of summer and getting an opportunity to hang out with friends for summertime fun.

The mere fact that we are halfway through this Month of July reminds me that Pinkskate is literally a couple of weeks away from launching our online store! I don’t want to pretend like this has been an easy task because it hasn’t. Truly, whenever someone is pursuing their dreams there’s always a fair amount of Hard Work that goes into it and none of us are immune from that.

The best part is that we have finally finished our product photography and we look forward to doing live shots of our Pinkskate Models who just happen to be real figure skaters. With only a few administrative details left to finalize the back end of our store, we look forward to bringing our dream to a reality. Better yet, we look forward to bringing you quality products, created specifically for the Pinkskate brand.

Most importantly, I want to thank everyone for their positive words of encouragement throughout this process. Any success that Pinkskate incurs will truly be because of you.

Figure skating fashion

With so many characteristics to love about the sport of figure skating, its hard to pick just one. However, what we love most here at Pinkskate, is the FASHION of the sport. In fact we can’t get enough of it. Whether it’s a great costume for your solo performance in the local ice show, your favorite competitive skater rocking a Vera Wang design or your cutest Chloe Noel practice ensemble. Fashion is such a big aspect of this sport that it is mind boggling. From Glitter and Rhinestones to Swarovski Crystals, if it Bling’s and Shines, then you will see it on the ice.

With so much fashion represented on the ice, I would love to see fashionable apparel geared toward skaters for off-ice wear. What are your thoughts on the topic of off-ice apparel? How would you envision that apparel to look and feel? Please share your thoughts.
