Professional fashionista and stylist Daisy Lewellyn is sharing her love for fashion with the world. Her new book, “Never Pay Retail Again” is a fashion bargain bible that shows you the way to a better wardrobe without breaking the bank! A self-professed “bargain babe,” Lewellyn has worked for In Style and Glamour Magazine and styled many an A-List celebrity- including the Two Parkers: that would be Eva Longoria and Sarah Jessica.
The book covers such topics as where to find the best bargains, how to make money from shopping and coveted secrets of fashion stylists, editors and designers. I cannot wait to get my hands on this book, and you shouldn’t either! It’s available online at Amazon and Barnes & Noble.
To learn more about Daisy, check out her website, www.daisylewellyn.com and her blog, The Chocolate Fashion Blog.
Fashionably Yours,

Ann Wood, Ebay Power Seller of Luxury Goods
My honey handed me this article from the October 2010 D CEO Magazine recently and it was fascinating and eye-opening. Dallasite Ann Wood is an eBay Platinum Power Seller, meaning she grosses at least $25,000 per month selling luxury wares via her online consignment store Willow-Wear. That’s right, per month, not per year. We all know the economy’s bad right now, and if you’re thinking of a new career in fashion, perhaps the untraditional (and yet profitable) track might be consignment.
Ms. Wood, a former attorney, turned her hobby into a hustle. She had the foresight to cater to clientele unaffected by the recession, and it’s proven to be a very smart move. Kudos to her! So if you’re looking for a little inspiration these days, look no further than Ann Wood.
