The Le RIVINO's DARE 2B FABULOUS Project, was born out of the belief that we are all Fashioned to be FABULOUS. Our desire to develop Le RIVINO's Shoes is not just to open a store to sell our beautiful shoes, but to establish and nurture a community where women feel comfortable gathering and sharing their ideas on life and fashion. Women helping women discover their inner FABULOUSness. Unlike the traditional shoetiques, Carmen intends to create an approachable atmosphere at Le RIVINO's a place where the art of fashion is accessible to everyone.  Having her partner and daughter Christine Leon a film graduate as Creative Director will bring an element of Fashion television to the space, in addition to selling their beautiful shoes, they propose to film a bi-weekly show on-site titled "DARE 2B FABULOUS" giving aspiring designers and local fashionistas a platform to share current and upcoming trends as well as giving fashion advice, a show where "real" women, young, old and in-between are the real stars, we need your help to make this happen. 

As an interior designer by trade, I have had the opportunity to make beautiful many a homes, the look of overwhelming elation that fills my clients faces when they walk into their newly transformed rooms has always moved me to the core. But I must say that I had never before realized until now how a beautiful pair of shoes change the whole attitude, confidence and presence of a women.  I have seen women transform right before my very eyes as they try on a  gorgeous pair of Heels, it's almost as if for the first time they've come to realize how magnificently  FABULOUS they truly are.

Many of us grow up fostering an adverse image of ourselves, feelings of not being good enough, pretty or smart enough have kept us from reaching our full potential in life, feelings that stem from some type of insecurity injected by the damaging words of another insecure individual, or defined by an image on television or magazines telling us what pretty and smart is supposed to look like. 

The fact is, it is our differences, our unique shapes, our quirkyness, shades and size that are the very elements that make up our FABULOUSness, we each have something wonderful to offer the world around us, when we come to the realization of how FABULOUS we truly are and  DARE 2B FABULOUS we give others permission to express and channel their inner FABULOUSness which in turn transforms and makes our world a more fantastical place to live in, this is the message we want our customers, friends and family to leave with when they  come to Le RIVINO's shoetique and it is your donations that will help make this vision become a reality.

Fashion is a creative art form that should be accessible to all people for self expression and at Le RIVINO's  we are moved to do our part in making this happen.

The men and women in our family have a close knit relationship. It all began with our beautiful mother, a seamstress, designer and aspiring pattern maker who has forever instilled the reality that we are all FASHIONED TO BE FABULOUS, and Dared us to express it, that every day offers a new opportunity to spread LOVE and Celebrate the creation of all things BEAUTIFUL. We are passionate about the art of fashion and its ever changing revelations we want this truth to  spill over into Le RIVINO’s Shoes, and  desire to share this love with our FANTABULOUS customers and friends with excitement and anticipation. 

Shoe love, and thank you for your Donation,  no matter the size we are truly grateful! DARE 2B FABULOUS,  continue to spread seeds of LOVE where ever you go, and watch the roads you travel be filled with fragrant blooms of FABULOUS.
