This week’s Fashionable Friend Friday is Penny Goffman owner of Jolie Gotique, the awesome mobile boutique in Greenwich Ct. I met Penny last year and have been so impressed with her ever since. She is a busy mom (her company is named after her daughter) but also a hugely successful entrepreneur. Her Gotique fashions are incredible and reflect her amazing sense of style and spunk. As Penny says herself:
Jolie Gotique curates a unique collection of contemporary fashions & accessories. Pulling from local, emerging and foreign designers – each style is hand selected with one motto in mind 
bringing effortless “chic” to our clientele. Women can be comfortable and stylish simultaneously. Girls can be princesses, tomboys, and everyday cool in trendy & cozy styles. Live well, look fabulous!
I have such a fun recipe for you today. I bet you did not know that Jackie Kennedy was known to make the most delicious waffles!!! This “eggy” version was one of President Kennedy’s favorite foods. I knew that you would love this for your collection. I am going to make them this weekend since all my kids will be home. Woo Hoo!!!!! Bon Appetit!!!!!
