Help Me to Help You – Styling Tips

July 24, 2009

Wouldn’t you just love to approach some people on the street and give them an immediate make-over?!  In the summer months dressing for comfort is quite popular and leads to things like Crocs with sweatpants (or whatever really), oddly colored and ill-fitting Capri pants, and daisy dukes clinging to the derrieres of undesirables.  So in [...]

The Fashion Show Finale – Who will win?!

July 17, 2009
