Some Important Things to Know About Rayon

By Jamie June 24, 2018

Hey there again! I am so excited to finally be writing this post. I have learned through many years of shopping with friends and clients that most people don’t think about the fabrics they are purchasing. Believe me, I was not always this way. It has taken many years of experience in women’s retail to open my eyes to having a preference on fabrics. I have grown to know that it will make a big difference in the longevity and maintenance of our clothing. Money is valuable and therefore so is what we spend our money on, right!? Since my friends and clients have really appreciated the things I have taught them, I thought I would try to teach you! I want to say that…

What to Wear to Afternoon Tea!

By Jamie May 31, 2018

Y’all! I just had such an amazing experience with some of my blogger boss babes that I just had to tell you about it! We went and had afternoon tea at Chez Philippe in The Peabody Hotel. I was so nervous about what exactly to wear to something like this for I have never experienced it before! I did not know what to expect and even looked up etiquette for tea on the internet! It seemed like such a serious thing I just didn’t know what I needed to do. I read lots of different things but the gist is that is gives a girl a reason to put on a pretty dress and a fun ornament in her hair! Did I mention you get to…

A Night Out with Brahmin

By Jamie May 16, 2018

Hey friends! I am so excited to share an awesome experience with you and tell you about a fun new store that opened right here in Memphis. Just in case you don’t know I should probably tell you that my career up until a year ago was in retail. I managed a couple of different stores for 15 years and now I am a full time stylist/blogger. My heart has always been in fashion and I have to say that Memphis is a pretty tough market for shopping that fashion. But times do change and retail is on the rise in this city! Finally! We are getting some amazing stores especially at The Shops of Saddle Creek in Germantown, TN. A very recent addition to…

How to Determine a Quality Garment

By Jamie May 7, 2018

Hey ladies! Happy May! This is my most favorite month out of the year! April showers bring May flowers right!? I am finally getting to my second post in my series of shopping posts. The first one was How to Become an Expert Shopper. This one is going to be about what determines a quality garment. I guess you could say I have a personal interest in this subject. It is important to me to find pieces that will last and will be low maintenance. Of course there are exceptions to the rule when you are purchasing a trendy item that you don’t pay much for and will not wear the next season. I know we all have these items. But what I will say…

By Jamie April 26, 2018

Hey ladies! I hope your week has been going well! Mine has been really good and productive. I had some exciting news a few weeks ago that I had been accepted into rewardStyle. That was one of my goals when I started blogging so I was over the moon when I got accepted. What is so special about it you might be asking yourself? Most of my friends had no clue about it or that they could shop my looks using the LIKEtoKNOW.it app created by rewardStyle. When I explained this to them they got really excited and downloaded the app and followed me! You may have heard of LIKEtoKNOW.it or have seen the hashtags in people’s captions on Instagram and wondered what in the…

By Jamie April 4, 2018

Hello friends! I hope you had a wonderful Easter weekend whatever you did! We had a good relaxing weekend and got some much needed rejuvenation! I have been so busy the past couple of weeks.
