More Designers....

I often wonder why would anyone over the age of 18 wear Babyphat when there are sooo many high-end designers out there. I mean names you're not going to see anyone else in for miles away.. that's ideal.
Have you ever attended an event a spotted the outfit you were wearing at least once. Are you the type that shop for your clothing at the local 'gathering' place, with that being said, you know you won't be the only one wearing 'that' outfit.
Let me 'name drop' for a moment....
Emillio Pucci.. known for the abstract & geometric patterns and vivid colors. For around $500 you can 'walk it out' in a pair of lovely shoes made by this designer. Don't be fooled by imposters, there's one way to know if it's original.

Like atheletic wear? Me too, but I don't do the typical. Remember Run DMC's 'MY ADIDAS? Well check these Adidas shoes and sweat shirt...

Speaking of RUN DMC, remember the glasses they wore? Cazals ARE back and guess who wants a pair? No, not the same one's DMC wore but a more up to date female pair... step outside the box in a pair of these....

Christian Louboutin Shoes. These shoes are WELL known in the salon I work in in Chicago. It's like Louboutin competition camp every week. This designer is know for his signature RED SOLES and the sexy 'toe cleavage' each pair of his shoes reveals. Again, we're talking high-end. How much do you think they cost? $95-$150? Get outta here!!!

Like High-End??

Welcome aboard!
Most women like high-end fashions and accessories, but how many are willing to 'go there'? Let's take a look at some of these trouble makers....

St.John Knits. Awwww, this line is awesome for comfort! Timeless, classic and chic. Has excellent 'Growing Room' and if you lose weight, these pieces can be easily 'blocked' to fit. This line can be found in Nieman Marcus, but just a word of warning.. you can also find these pieces online at http://www.ebay.com/ and http://www.prousses.com/ which is a resale store that's exclusively St.John Knits.

Hmm, where do I take you next, I know! I'll take you to the Carlisle Collection. This collection buys its fabrics at the FINEST mills. The designs are FAB, but the sticker shock can hurt.. This line is NOT sold in department stores and can only be purchased from consultants. Your Carlisle Consultant will keep you updated when the newest collections are released and what she thinks you will like. A 6-10 piece wardrobe by Carlisle could run around $2,500 - $3,200 easy. But just like St.John, you can plan on wearing these pieces FOR LIFE. Very well constructed, no fade, no loss of texture after dry cleaning.

Now we'll move over to the shoe department. My personal favorites are Ferragamo, Stuart Weitzman and Donald Pliner. When I'm seeking fashionable comfort I reach for Cole Haans with Nike Air Technology or Taryn Rose. When I'm shoe shopping, comfort overrides cost, so $100 bucks for flip flops is nothing if that's how I'm feeling.

One thing I can't stand are painful feet. One thing I never do is leave the store before walking around with BOTH shoes on, on carpet and off. I never hiss at the price of a comfortable, well constructed shoe.
