Which area do you frequently spend the most money?
Let’s say in 1 month or 6 – either way one will outweigh the other!
Let HMS know!
Personally for HMS beauty products and accessories are a toss-up! Each month it is hard to ignore these two:)

Just saw on WWD the new DKNY Jeans ad featuring Hilary Duff , and I am lovin her in these ads! Even though she is quite a bit younger than me (cough)…Duff is definitely on my style icon list. She is always trendy but never seems too overdone, or obnoxious. The new DKNY ads feature Duff and other models wearing looks from the Femme for DKNY Jeans line designed by Duff and launching in stores next month for back-to-school!
Don’t forget about the amazing menu at Dupree Catering To Go! Quick, simple, and of course haute-gourmet dishes ready when you are!
Great quick summer suggestion:
Barbecued Chile Lime Shrimp Kabobs with Cilantro Corn Griddle Cakes
Large juicy shrimp marinated in a tangy homemade barbecue sauce with fresh lime juice, herbs, and touch of chiptole pepper. Shrimp are skewered with vegetables ready to grill. Served with Cilantro Corn Griddle Cakes – Sweet corn, fresh chopped cilantro, and spices, browned off and ready for your to heat in your oven. Serves 4-6, $28.95
Haven’t had time to read the latest issue of People’s Style Watch? HMS didn’t love many of the jeans, or handbags, shown this month. There is always SO MUCH to luv, so here is a quick HMS Haute List from the current issue:
___________________________________
Poppy by Coach Three Strand Flower Necklace $198
The new Poppy by Coach line is interesting. My verdict is still out. The use of vibrant colors, love the pink, and patterns is very eye-catching. However some of the shoes and handbags I have seen…not so much. I am lovin’ this necklace – a great piece….love it! Find on page.36.
New York & Company Pencil Skirt $29.95
I love the pencil skirt! If you don’t have one, then get like at least 4, because they are perfect for everything! Plus they are an absolute must-have for fall! Find on page.41.
Express Wool Studded Blazer $128
Studs are haute this fall and this is a great way to wear this trend. Pair this with jeans and a white t-shirt or tank! Find on page.46.
Ann Taylor Sateen Ruffle Shell $70
A great piece for work or with jeans! Wear into fall by pairing with a blazer or light jacket. Find on page. 84.
Charles David “Fuel” Leather Strappy Heel $240
Love these thick strappy, as People refers to them “tough sandals” – pair them with tights in fall / winter! Since the straps aren’t super skinny, they look great with or without tights! Find on page. 104.
L.A.M.B “Rhea” Leather Heel $345
I know they are pricey, but goodness they are HAUTE!!!!! Find on page. 111.
Jessica Simpson Collection “Parigi” Leather Pumps $89
A little funkier then your typical black pump – and besides, I LOVE Jessica Simpson shoes! Find on page. 101.
Sometimes we can’t keep up with the waxing as quickly as we should and let’s be honest shaving…sucks! I tried these over the weekend, thank you to my sista, and they are amazing!!! Let’s not forget to mention how haute the name is….Green Apple Glitter Wax….love that!!! In a pinch these are great! Throw them in your bag for those last few days at the pool…defnitely keep them handy, you will be glad you did. Oh and they work great for underarms too.
Nair Pretty Green Apple Glitter Wax – $7.00! Here is a list of what is in the kit and a littel ‘how-to’ from the Nair site:

Have you ever been somewhere and seen that PERFECT paint color but thought ‘How will I ever find it?’…….The Benjamin Moore “ben Color Capture” iPhone application is super cool! You simply take a picture with your iPhone, then touch the color you desire, say it is the color of your neighbors gorgeous flowers, and the application will display a strip of colors below the photo. As you touch each color displayed, it will list the name/number etc…
