#TBT: Avon Calling!
Do you remember the Avon Lady? Are YOU the Avon Lady – excuse me, Independent Sales Representative? My grandmother Dorothy sold it for a short time, and I remember thumbing through the catalogs and circling items I wanted my mother to buy. Now you can find a friend or colleague who sells it, or you can shop online!
Our Avon fave? The original formula Skin So Soft bath oil spray ($6 for 5 oz.)! It’s a great mosquito repellent, has an amazing scent, and doesn’t leave your skin feeling greasy.

Do you know where you’re going to?
Mahogany – an over-the-top Diana Ross vehicle from 1975 and one of my all-time favorite movies – is airing tonight at 8 PM Central on Bounce TV! The wigs, the glamour, the drama! The Billy Dee Williams of it all! YES, darlings! *snaps fingers*
Seriously, there is some disco-fantastic fashion and a great storyline in this film. “The Boss” plays Tracy Chambers, a go-getter who works her way up from salesgirl to secretary to fashion muse and designer in Rome and finds out whether success without true love is worth it in the end. I’m going to watch in a chiffon caftan and bouffant hair. That seems only appropriate.
Fun fact: Mahogany was shot partially in Chicago’s State Street Marshall Fields, which is now a Macy’s flagship store.

Meet designer Donald Pliner at Belk
Donald Pliner will appear at Belk at the Summit this Saturday, March 30 in the Ladies Shoe Department from 11 AM-4 PM! During the appearance he will showcase (and sign!) pieces from his spring collection. Billed as “chic, evocative and exotic,” Mr. Pliner’s line is known for luxe materials and fine details. It’s almost sandal season and we’re currently obsessed with the Tiam, a fabulous crepe espadrille with a 4 1/2 inch wedge heel and braided detail!
