When most twenty-year old's are worrying about what nail polish to put on their nails next week(lol, like me!), there's one partiucular twenty year old worrying about air conditioning for her store, press/pr and maintaining a succesful business in of course Crooklyn, New York! Former ballet dancer Victoria Shelton opened up shop on November 2007. The pocket-friendly boutique, Paper Doll sits in the calm and cute Prospect Heights area on bond street."At first when I opened my store I was so excited, but then all that excitement kind of faded when I realized how much work I really had to do,"sweetly confessed by the paper princess. For Victoria, Paper doll has become her baby and it's sure has had it's share of labor pains. After enrolling in City Tech college in 2006 for Fashion Marketing, Victoria's focus shifted after her father got really sick and passed away. The agony of losing her father discouraged her from school, life and everything around her. Throughout the hardships Victoria took a moment to reflect and revaluated what she really wanted out of life. With careful consideration she decided owning her own boutique was definitely in line for her future. With the help and support of her mommy(don't we just love mommies:), Victoria created a well thought out business plan. A business plan that would indeed come true and inspire girls who once played dress up with paper dolls as little girls.The cutesy(Yes another word I made up, lol) tatted up doll is quite the savy business woman on a mission to make her store the new buzz that's simply on the mouths of every fly, street chic, fashionista!
