And the story begins…

The story of You & Me.

A tale as old as time.

The perfect recipe.

True blue friends to the end.

You & Me was made for sharing.

You & Me was made for your favorite secret keeper.

You & Me was made for the shoulder you choose to cry on.

You & Me was made for the person that brings the best out in all of us.

It’s crazy how fast this past year has gone for me.

A year ago we began the You & Me journey.

A year ago Denise was my boss; my kind, generous, hilarious boss.

A year ago, the fall collection was just a (BIG) file on an Imac.

A year ago, Denise and Lynette whisked me away to my first trip China.

A year ago You & Me was an idea Denise got from a song on her Ipod.

As  for today?

Today, You & Me is the Fall 2011 Collection.

Today, Denise is not only my boss, but one of my closest friends.

Today, You & Me is thousands of boxes filling up every space we can find at 435.

Today, You & Me becomes so much more because we get to share a bit of it with you.

I can’t wait until you see it all.

LOVE, SAM

YOU and ME…LOVE! (ps its something I say to my daughter when its just she and I…”Its a You and Me Day!”) Congrats on your collection and we are all waiting IMpatiently to see all its glory! xo

Sam, this is a SUPER blog. Love how your personality comes forth in your writing. Soooooooooooooooooooo excited about the You and Me line.

AmyB - July 13, 2011 - 8:28 am

What a sweet moment. It was moving to open this page and see how far MJ has come, and how many people you have touched Denise. I only buy a few pieces here and there, since we are a family of 6. The couple pieces of MJ clothing for my youngest daughter, makes her stand out in our large family. She usually wears it on her “it’s just You and Me kid” day, the days her and I do something special together. So whether I have a piece from this line or not, I pray that you know you all are making a big difference in girl’s lives;) Thank you!

Heather Doncaster - July 12, 2011 - 6:33 pm

Thank you for the sneak peak Sam! My life has changed as well in the past few months all because of this wonderful clothing company. You all are little like Willie Wonka to me…mysterious, magical and full of surprises! I love MJ and Frances England. Please tell me your Spring 2012 Line is called ‘Mind of my Own’. ;0 The colors, fabrics, ruffles, buttons and pocket (who could forget that wonderful pocket) on the preview pic are fabulous! And now I’m extra excited because that’s only one dress….who knows what else you have in store for us??

Jami - July 12, 2011 - 4:24 pm

Oh how I love “You and Me.” For so many reasons this line is a fave. Again, and again, you ladies amaze me. Mwah!!!

Kate Adcock - July 12, 2011 - 4:20 pm

ummm yeah-should have read the first few lyrics–DMB. Dugh. Okay-well, now you all have to listen to the song “You & Me” by Frances England–actually the whole cd.

Kate Adcock - July 12, 2011 - 4:18 pm

Please tell me the “song” was You & Me by Frances England…humm! If so, that is mine & Avery’s song. I cry every time and then explain to her what happy crying is too. “…How did you grow so big overnight How did you get so smart and bright Yesterday you were asleep in my arms Today you’re growing off the charts
I’m so proud of you.” {inert tears].

Judie Trinley - July 12, 2011 - 2:44 pm

Melissa - July 12, 2011 - 12:58 pm

I LOVE it!! You & Me is a special concept to me…I’m a single mom to a daughter and I am always telling her “It’s just you & me but you & me are everything!” We even have a song we sing together called You & Me….I started singing it to her when she was a newborn. I will definitely have to save up and order a few things.

Christine Adam - July 12, 2011 - 12:36 pm
