Dear Friend,

On A Personal Note...

Thank you all so much for heeding my call for feedback. The wonderful response to our web survey has been enlightening. I am so honored by all of your kind words. I really appreciate your willingness to help me build my business and bring you items you'll love and value.

I was surprised to find that many of you don't know what Cents of Style® Accessory Suites are all about. So as a refresher, Accessory Suites are thrifty chic accessories all bundled together for an immediate style boost. Each month I gather coordinated accessories that will creatively modernize your wardrobe basics. The idea came to me after working with many women who love accessories, but didn't really know how to accessorize, mix, match and uniquely put things together. Accessory Suites are just my little way of helping; you don't have to think about it... just pull it out of the box for instant style.

I am looking forward to implementing many of your suggestions and continuing to be your source for all things thrifty chic. Thanks again for all of your incredible support, and if you haven't participated in the survey, please click here to take the survey and be automatically entered to win an Andy Paige Cosmetic Brush Set!

Hope you are having a rejuvenating summer!
Be happy! Be beautiful! Be thifty!

This Month's Cents Of Style™ Accessory Suite

I've received countless requests for info about the "cool kimono robe" I wore while living in the Starting Over house. I was able to offer a few of them last year and have had more on order for the past ten months. Great news!... They are finally here and I have paired them with cute comfy black mesh sequined china doll slippers to complete this months Cents of Style® Accessory Suite!

I can't even begin to explain how much I love this fabulous 100% cotton Kimono. I've had mine for years and wear it every day. It makes me feel like... part glamorous geisha, part hip international traveler and part pampered spa girl. This fabulous traditional kimono is extra roomy, offers complete coverage and is groovy enough to wear to the mailbox without ducking and darting from the neighbors.
I know you are going to love it!

Check it out!

 

Tips

Okay... I confess, I got burned! I, Queen SPF 45, couldn't pull myself from the sea to re-glaze. My shoulders and part of my neck were embarrassingly roasted and after a couple of days it started to peel. YUCK! The exaggerated difference in skin color sparked a thought... If I used a light moisturizing sunless tanner, could I camouflage the peeling parts and even out the all over look? It totally worked! I used Jergens Natural Glow Daily Moisturizer and it turned my splotchy sunburn into a great tropical tan!

Sale Rack

The July 4th fireworks signify more than just our country's birthday... it also celebrates one of my favorite things in the world... the resurrection of the 70% off rack! Yippee! All things summer have got to go! Stores have to clean out to make room for bulkier Fall and Winter items. Fall is historically the best retail season and merchants are ready to "bring-it-on!" This means now is the time to shop the sale rack for:

• That fabulous slinky dress for New Years Eve.
• That perfect bathing suit for your winter cruise.
• Strappy shoes for holiday parties.
• Lace camis for body skimming winter layers.
• Cropped pants in all-season fabrics to wear with fabulous fall boots.
• Gold, copper and bronze metallics... still hot for fall!
