Sassy Susie is enjoying her romp around the world! Next stop: The French Riviera and a visit with her friend, Monique. Of course with the 60th Cannes film festival in full swing, Cannes is the hottest spot for star-gazing and checking out all the fabulous outfits!
Susie caught a glimpse of Eva Mendes, who showed an outift taunting that bigger IS better when it comes to belts. That belt was so wide it nearly doubled as a skirt. :) Her leopard print outfit was a huge hit!
No, Susie didn't score entry to the hottest party in Cannes, Dolce & Gabbana's Glamourous Party, but outside was a great spot for spotting trends! Lots of beautiful colors and frilly frocks.
Check out similar outfits at the next Haute Market shopping party, June 28th. Get tickets now!
Huge thanks to Bigg Eye Creations for sharing Susie with us and letting us chronicle her travels!
Haute Market's very own Michelle took advantage of the free collagen building facial from her April swag bag and gave us a review about her experience at Bella Skincare.
Bella utilizes the first Ultra Sonic Collagen Rejuvenation using Micronized intact Collagen. The process diminishes signs of aging while hydrating the skin.
Michelle:"This feels like tiny rubber band snaps and then a slight warming sensation. With the use of the cooling wand, the discomfort is minimal and the treatment only took about 20 mins. The results were amazing - even with my first treatment - I immediately noticed a tightening of my skin and the lines around my mouth, around my eyes, and between my eyebrows were immediately diminished!"
"Bella recommends following the Collagen Rejuvenation Facial with this treatment to remoisturize your skin. I completely agree! A collagen gel is applied to your face and then they use an ultra sound wand to warm the collagen and massage it into your skin. This was completely pain free and very relaxing.
My skin feels much smoother and softer after this treatment. A perfect complement to the Rejuvenation Facial! Again, I did see immediate results!"
"Next Bella applied some sunscreen to protect my face. I donned my favorite baseball cap and I was ready to roll!"
"The atmosphere is inviting and relaxing. Loved the plush robe and the slippers were to die for - very fluffy and cushy!
Valerie is great. Explained every treatment and what to expect during and after. She was very friendly and made me feel relaxed during my treatments. She was constantly asking how I was doing and making sure I was comfortable."
"I will definitely be going to Bella for these treatments again!"
Get on the phone (913-643-1771) and get your collagen building facial scheduled today. Tell them you're a Haute Market fan!
Have you noticed the new look on the Haute Market web site? The site isn't the only thing with a new look. Our own Haute Market Michelle is getting a new look from Bella Skincare Professionals.
Do you remember that free collagen-building facial certificate in the swag bags from the April event? Michelle cashed hers in, as well as took advantage of a few other fabulous services.
Next week: find out how Michelle's first treatment went as she tried laser hair removal and a fabulous facial treatment. Find out what it's really like to get zapped!
Have a fabulous holiday weekend everyone! Stay safe.
If it's not shoes, it's bags. I adore a great accessory and I feel I've been leaving out the all-important bag lately due to my shoe-whore status.
I love the patchwork bags and you can find them in every price range, everywhere. Coach has this new denim inspired design for $428.
Handbag Heaven features a Coach-inspired bag for just under $30.
There are a few of jennyLou's patchwork bags left at the Girls' Wearhouse, which is open today. You'll have to ask specifically to see them as they are not out of the floor for the public. It pays to check out Haute Market and be in-the-know about special deals!!
Hello dahhhh-lings. I'm still jet setting around the world thanks to Haute Market.
This week I am in fabulous Paris! It really is as wonderful as people say it is. The amazing little streets angling off the main roads are such fun to stroll along with my friend Chloe and her sweet dog Juju.
It's a bit cloudy today, but in the low 70's and beautiful for a stroll thru the park and a quick trip up the tower. The view is amazing.
Even more amazing is the shopping. Of course Paris is known for it's fabulous shops, but to be in them is devine!

oops, Susie was supposed to post Wednesday...so here she is of Fab Friday! :)
Hello my darling fashionista's. I am having a fabulous time on my trip. Especially once I got used to the time change. What better way to cure a little sleep loss than with shopping?!?
Luckily my friend Liza met me at the airport and promptly whisked me away to one of the most famous streets for shopping. Cartier, Yves Saint Laurent, DKNY, Chanel, Tiffany, Lalique, Diesel...oh my goodness the fabulous shops never seem to end.
Can you guess where I was?
Hungry and ready for more shopping, we headed for Harrod's. It is amazing my friends. Floors and floors of shopping! Not to mention all the fabulous food and wine. We have lots of goodies to take back to Liza's for dinner tonight.
Ok, so have you figured out where I am and what famous street we shopped on? Then send an email to Haute Market. The 10th person with the correct answer wins a FREE ticket to the June 28th event where you can see the new Sassy Susie note card line from Bigg Eye Creations!
Cheers!
Set your Tivo tonight girl friends! McDreamy, McSteamy, McWeddings and more! Greys' season finale is tonight. But there is SHOPPING to do! Of course. My friends at the Girls' Wearhouse are having their monthly Girls' Night event tonight.
So here is the plan: get to the Girls' Wearhouse early (opens at 5pm) get some good shopping time in. There will be several other vendors there. Of course Two Chic Blvd & Vintage Moon, as always. Also some others: All Things Beaded, Gladys & Irene, jennyLou's Boutique and more!
I hear that Two Chic Blvd has some fabulous new shoes (I already own 2 of them!), Vintage Moon Creations has beautiful new chain lariats, jennyLou has some fabulous new earring designs. So many beautiful goodies just for you!
Next, if you don't have Tivo or you like it BIG...stop by Raouls for the watch party on the giat TV with the gals form Mix 93.3. I wish I could be there, but I'm not that mean to make my babysitter put my three rowdy little boys to bed. So I'll be doing McTivo with my McCabernet after my McMonsters are in bed.
Have a great night ladies. Feel free to come back here and post your comments about the show!
If it were possible to laugh your butt off, I'd have to go shopping for new jeans today because the site I found last night had me laughing so hard I was in tears.
No, it's nothing to do with fashion...I have to take a break once in a while and see what the rest of the world is up to.
It's a hilarious spoof on government signage. I think it was the "karate chop" one that had me at risk of peeing my pants. I hope you enjoy this goofy type of humor and your giggle for the day.

Check back tomorrow to see where in the world is Sassie Susie!

See Jillian live May 19th in Liberty and June 29th in Excelsior Springs. More info on her MySpace page.
Oh girl...I did it again. DSW was kind enough to send me their sale flyer AND a $10 off coupon.!
Of course I rushed on over because I HAD to have new sandals (yes, again).
You're going to think I'm turning into a shoe-whore. I like to think of my self as Carrie Bradshaw's sensible sister, Bargain Betty Bradshaw. Where Carrie would spend $500 on a new pair of shoes, I'd spend $50.
My husband would probably like me to interject on the subject of too many shoes. Um..."What?!?"
Get this...this is no lie. He said to me last night that the shoes I bought look all the same because several are very high wedges, and that it's like him buying brown dress shoes and black dress shoes and saying they aren't the same. Again I say, "What?!?".
Apparently they don't have many shoe choices on Mars.
Anyway..back to Venus where I found these cuties.
Don't laugh at me for buying Dr. Scholl's shoes. The things are so comfie. The strap is a bit uncomfortable right now, but I probably need to break it in a bit. I love the animal print wedge! These are $69.95 on Dr. Scholl's web site. At DSW they were 1/2 that!
My next find was an attempt at being more of a girly-girl. Again, husband interjects - "You're not a girly-girl." Duh...that's why I get the shoes and try my very best at being girly." Ugh...martians.
Kenzie (far left) has some adorable shoes with a lace covered upper, rounded open toe wedge. I just adore them. So feminine and pretty (about $35 at DSW).
Next up, Report, the Boardwalk style (far right). Cream and brown dotted sandals. Even the heel is patterened! I could live without the bow on the upper, but it does help my girly-girl quest.
Tucked in the middle of the picture are my other new faves that I couldn't leave out. Two Chic Blvd. carries these. They have a ribbon tie that you can wrap around your ankle then tie in a bow. A light tan colored upper with pink and green polka-dots. Another wedge heel, which makes my martian think, again, "same shoe". Duh. I think these were $45 and can still be found at Two Chic Blvd. Get them on your trip to the Girls' Night next Thursday the 17th.
Looks like I'd better get that pedicure this weekend. You know...if my hubby were thinking straight instead of being confused by all the 'same' shoes lined up in the closet...he'd have realized yesterday...3 new shoes, we have 3 boys...mother's day gift from each boy. Job done. Good thing that the martian doesn't read my blog. I'd hate to give him all my brilliant ideas.
Go, shop, enjoy! Leave the martians at home.
Don't blow it this Mother's Day! There is still time to get her a fab gift without leaving your seat.

Susie is about to cross the big pond, but first she's visiting her good pal, Lauren, in New York City.
The girls are seeing the sites and hitting the shopping in a BIG APPLE way. Of course all the big name stores have been a hoot, but Susie reports that a trip to SoHo was where she scored some chic finds for her cross-continental wardrobe.
We asked Susie what she can't live without at the moment.
"My yummy scrub from Kristine's Shower. It's great for exfoliating and feels especially invigorating on my tired feet after a long day of shopping NYC style".
Thanks Susie! And thanks to the folks at Kristines Shower for sending Susie a goodie for her trip.

Sun, fun and...hey, is that Uli?!?! Can you guess where Susie made her first stop? It's fashionable Miami.
Susie (brought to life by Bigg Eye Creations) wanted to catch some sun and get a bit of a glow before she heads out on her two month vacation around the globe. After catching up with her old gal-pal Didi, the girls spent the day shopping, grabbed a shot of wheatgrass at a local juice-stop then went clubbing all night long.We asked Susie what fab product she's loving right now:
"I'm so glad I brought my Bobe body butter. You know..the one that was in the swag bags last week? I buttered up to keep my skin from drying out on the plane and it's great!"
So there you have it. Susie's trip has begun. Haute Market will be sending her to more fabulous spots around the globe, meeting old friends, making new one's and all the while she'll be sending us updates and great product reviews.
Catch Susie's updates each Wednesday right here on the blog. Remember, the fab products Susie loves will be put in one big prize package for some lucky lady to win at the June 28th shopping party!
It's all the rage...using blue tinted lip balms to give the illusion of whiter teeth. First to develop this idea was GoSMILE. No, it doesn't look blue on your lips, it's just a subtle tinting.
GoSMILE has a lip treatment in this handy compact for $18.00 at their online store. It contains shea butter for soothing dryness, restorative retinol and even some great vitamins.
Another blue find is Bourjois Menthol Gloss, however I've so far only located it from an online store, ASOS, based in Britain.
So go blue, to go white.
