A Scarf In a Box Everyone Needs


While searching to bring unique things in the store for the Fall, I discovered this great little line called T-Box. Since T Box is a European company (Turkish actually) its no wonder they found a way to bring this line to the US in the tiniest of little packages. I personally love the Dolai Lama fringed scarves (one of the green ones is coming home with me!). Each scarve is packaged in a round disc that reminds me of a hockey puck, or a hackey sack. In fact, you could probably come up with many new and imaginative games to play with one before you unopened it.. but I digress. This scarf is perfect for those who crave being cuddled, those who are stylish and want to be even more stylish and for those cautious ladies who worry about upsetting their boyfriends by being too naked. Each scarf sells for $20 and at this price you need one in every color (black, ecru, blue, brown and green). Signed Me {Mona}

Yummie Tummie- The End of Back Fat and Muffin Tops



Ladies we have all at one point or another put on a slim fitting/sheer top or a tight pair of jeans, looked in the mirror and noticed a little bulge around the middle (back fat) or little roll just above our waistline (muffin top). Well, help is on the way with a miracle tank called a Yummie Tummie. The secret to Yummie Tummie is a secret minimizing panel that shapes the entire waistline from the bust to the hips, visibly taking off inches. Each tank is designed to provide firm yet comfortable control and features an exclusive dual fabric strategy that provides full coverage, while staying in place. We just received two styles of tanks (strappy and regular) in several basic colors (brown, black and white). These layering camis are a wardrobe staple.... come in and get yours today. If you're not convinced...check out these before (top) and after pics of an actual customer wearing a Yummie Tummie. AMAZING!!! Signed Me {Mona}

A Vested Interest




Suffice it to say I am obsessed with this new vest that just came in by Ella Moss. The vest is definitely a fashion staple for the Fall. With this vest
Ella Moss took this classic menswear item and made some very feminine updates.. cropping the body design and crossing the straps in the back. This vest would look amazing with some skinny jeans and black knee high boots. I found that the vest ran pretty true to size but I think that you could size up if you wanted a looser fit.

Big Buddha Fall Bags



I love hanbags, I admit it I have way more handbags than shoes and I change them almost as often as I change my underwear. And I got chills when we unpacked our latest shipment from Big Buddha. Big Buddha designer Jeremy Bassan has clearly outdone himself with this collection, creating very expensive looking bags at affordable prices. I am particularly in love with this crochet bag (the Stephanie). It reminds me of the Gerard Darel handbag as worn by Halle Berry (its just a lot less expensive). This bag is a must have addition to your fall handbag lineup. Come in and gets yours today. Stephanie crochet handbag in cream ($55.00)

Denim Splurge


I just found this link on ebay for a pair of vintage Levi's that sold for $36,099.00. That's right Thirty Six Thousand Big Ones! Amazing. This makes my last denim purchase seem so cheap! In addition, the fact that a pair of jeans was just sold for $36K will help you out the next time you get into an argument with your friends, spouse or significant other about the next pair of jeans you "must have". Simply say they are for investment purposes!

Colors of Fall



Fall has arrived at Hand In Pocket. The colors are changing from the sun bleached pastels of the summer to the rich vibrant hues of plum, teal and orange of the fall. It's hard to believe that Fall is just around the corner. It is absolutely my favorite time of the year. (After all it calls for the best clothes). Like these absolutely awesome jackets and cozy sweaters from our latest Miss Me Couture delivery. Featured are two pieces that I really love.
