Oh My Sweet Jimmy!

*****I think I've lived... died... and gone to shoe heaven.*****

Hot off the press... Jimmy Choo has signed a deal with H&M!! Now if you're anything like me, thus far you've been adoring these beautiful shoes and handbags from afar. Not anymore!! Just think - "red carpet" style meets "I can still pay my rent after this purchase" prices.




Jimmy Choo will be debuting at 250 H&M stores nationwide and abroad on November 14th. Well just my luck we don't' have and H& M here... The closest is Atlanta, GA. Anyone up for a road trip? : ) I think I'll go ahead and request the 13th off so I will be there in time to spend the night in line! Am I the only one who's this excited?!?!

Britches, Trousers or Pants... Wear them right or Don't wear them at all!

I've recently embarked on a new career as a Personal Stylist. Since that time I've been working with a few of my friends to build my portfolio and hone my skills. After interviewing one of my girlfriends, she admitted to not knowing how to wear pants. The actual sentence threw me off guard, but then I realized many women feel the same way. So I scoured the net to find a simple user-friendly guide to wearing pants. Here is what I found...

The Limited (which I love) always has great style tips on their website and I encourage you to check them out. Now I understand that it's the middle of summer, but these techniques are classic and will transcend through the seasons. Just be mindful of the fabric the pants are made of. Well I hope this helps you ladies...
