Sweet Jane
Hey, I'm Jane – a transplanted Texan in the Big City. You can count on me to throw out fashion tips, fashion disasters and shopping nightmares. My shopping tactics are not for the weak at heart – I’ve taken on Century 21, Loehman’s, and a multitude of outlet malls. Surprisingly, I still get the red carpet treatment at Gucci, Prada, and Chanel (well maybe not Chanel.) Don’t let my polite Texas accent fool you – I can be sweet as sugar or tough as nails. Like they say about the weather in Texas – stick around a minute and it will change.

Its funny how people use food to describe their bodies.
Rachael is a pear. I am an ice cream cone. Some gals have apple bums. Some sport muffin tops.
If you are proportioned like RR, I have a tip for you.
The wrap dress is a great solution. Ann Taylor Loft does a super soft grey or brown wrap dress that looks very similar to a dress that Rachael wore from Diane Von Furstenburg. Check out anntaylorloft.com-$79
I got it in both colors for Rachael and she found it super comfy. It shows off her waist and doesn’t cling too much.
Find yourself a great boot at zappos.com
I like the bouquets Bess for $79.95! Its stretch so it can fit most calves.
Designer looks for less! How much do we love that ladies?
What shape are you? Let me know and I can help you find your perfect fit!

If you’re going to make sauce, you need to build the flavor. Once you burn the garlic you have to start over.
If you are building a house you need to lay a good foundation.
If you want to look delicious in your clothes,you need a good bra. You may need spanx as well.
Treat yourself to the luxury of spending a little more on your lingerie. You need to organize yourself underneath your clothes.
Ask to get measured the next time you are in the intimate department. Most people do not know their true size.
A good bra like a good sauce makes all the difference.

It’s that time of year again! Find a cobbler of your choice (shoe not fruit) and dig through your closet for those leftover dusty boots and shoes. Savor the possibilities!
Boot styles are so varied this year that I am willing to make a bet that you can find leftover boots from last year and maybe 10 years back (if you hoard shoes like me) that can be refurbished for this season. Accept the challenge! It can be really rewarding and cheaper than a new pair of shoes.
Round, pointy, square toes,thick heel, thin heel,wedge- it all can work.
Drag them to your shoe joint of choice and get them re-heeled,re-soled,conditioned ,etc…
I have paid $40 to bring an old pair of boots to life.They’re already broken in and its kinda like running around with an old friend who just got Botox.
