5th & Oxford


CJ and I have been in the skin business for 3 years. We've released countless makeups under 7 skin lines and yes, we've been through 2 brand names. This, however, is not a rebranding. We are no longer just about skins. Along with our new name, 5th & Oxford will bring a diverse range of products which draw from the most current trends in fashion and design, for both women, men, AND your home. While our focus and style will be shifting, our mission as content creators will remain the same. CJ and I are about slavish attention to the details and perfectionism.

We look forward to expanding into new territory in the coming months. Because we've always been known primarily as skin makers, we thought it only fitting that our first product release under this new brand would be skins. Take a look at just a few of the skins we've released under the Audrey line that are available at

Nautical Set


This outfit took me an awful long time to put together. I started it hoping to have it ready for Memorial day weekend. I kept getting sidetracked by the new skin line that CJ and I are working on. I may be late for Memorial Day but I'm early for the Fourth of July! Of course, I think the outfit will work really well for any summer look.




Because all the pieces come in multiple clothing options, the layering possibilities are endless. I hope you all enjoy. The outfit is available in the main entrance of our Fleur location only.

Second Date Release


CJ and I are primarily known for our skins, it's the majority of our content and it's what we've been doing for the longest time. While I've contributed to the 'designing'of our clothing and over time, I've been more involved in the execution, we've never released anything that I did all on my own from start to finish. About two months ago, with CJ's help, I began a crash course on clothing making. What you see here is the first thing that I've created that I think is good enough to sell under the Fleur brand. I know there are a few minor flaws with it but I'm still pretty proud of how far I've come in just two months.

I was originally going to name the dress First Date, in reference to it being my first piece of clothing but then I was thinking that neckline was a bit immodest for a first date, so, Second Date was born. As simple as the design is, I put a lot of work into the details, the folds of the skirt, the fabric texture, the highlights, pleating on the belt, wrinkles, etc. -all those little details add up to a lot of work. I hope you all appreciate those little details but most of all, I hope it makes you feel as pretty as I do when wearing it.

Second Date is available in 6 colors and on multiple layers.
