Hello Darlings,
Can it be that women's shopping habits reveal a much deeper secret? IBM happens to believe so! Throughout history, research shows that women's stiletto height has been a reliable economic indicator. However this trend may be broken in 2012 as women may not only be overwhelmed with their finances but also with the pain in their feet.

According to Dr.Trevor Davis, a consumer product expert with IBM Global Business Services, " Usually, in an economic downturn heels go up and stay up — as consumers turn to more flamboyant fashion as means of fantasy and escape. This time, something different is happening — perhaps a mood of long term austerity is evolving among consumers sparking a desire to reduce ostentation in everyday setting."

Finding a Perfect Purchase
Hello Darlings,
Have you ever noticed that random shopping excursions tend to result in our best purchases?

A wandering stroll leads to a curious browse through my favourite store, which often follows in a purchase that I absolutely adore. Whether a beautiful new dress or that perfect designer steal; maybe my relaxed mood and the thrill of the find elevates my feelings about my new purchase.
Hello Darlings,
White Denim—I love the idea but am terrified of wearing it. I adore the clean lines and the chic illusion of this white canvas, but just the same it’s blankness somewhat puzzles me. Out of all denim colors, white presents the biggest challenge.

Aside from dreading the dull black on white combination—black top and/or shoes—white denim is not flats-friendly. From a fear of dullness to a fear of stubbiness, I am almost convinced that I will never be comfortable wearing white jeans.
