Happy Leo Season!!! Leo is a very loyal and generous friend who loves the spotlight. This fire sign is ruled by the sun, the center of our solar system - hence Leo's notorious ego! But that same ego helps Leo radiate confidence, warmth, and enthusiasm, and with these traits they can easily inspire and influence the people around them. Just like the lion that symbolizes this sign, Leo is proud and strong - the ruler of the jungle - and also stubborn! They are often creative people who appreciate beauty, anything lushly extravagant, and the dramatically bold. Leo inspires us all to be confident in our self-expression.

Their colors are white, silver, blue, and sea green...

Hi everyone!    My name is Sydney and I recently joined NAFASI as Project Manager Intern.  I’m so excited to work alongside Teri and Rachel!  We have a lot of fun things planned for this summer and we'll be keeping you updated with our blog, Facebook , and Instagram !  Don't forget to look out for our newsletter so you can stay up to date on all things NAFASI - sign up here ! So, a year ago I worked at Urban Outfitters as a Team Leader, where I helped to manage and merchandise the store.  Merchandising is kind of like interior design for retail spaces: it involves everything from looking at the "big picture" of the layout of the store, to the details of how product is presented on a fixture.  I'm excited to see how much of my previous knowledge and experience from the fashion side of the world I'll be able to bring to NAFASI!  But of course, NAFASI has already found a way to incorporate fashion into its design process. ...
