Style Steal

Wendy William of The Wendy Williams show wore a Cynthia Steffe black and white color block dress today on her show.  Compare the Cynthia Steffe $198 to our vintage black and white color block dress $35.  I think that would be a Style Steal!!! Shop this and more @ Style Haven Boutique

Artist Spotlight: Meca McKinney for Jypsea

Meca McKinney's signature line of her email reads: Meca  McKinney, Modern Leather Artisan | Design Consultant | Author | Lifestyle  Blogger.  Which by all means is true, but I think she left out a few other characteristics like Supermom, Fly Friend, Educator, and a all around Cool Chic.  Meca is the type of person that you want in your circle, the go to chic.  The strength and persistence of this woman will wow you.  Motherhood and the demand of a busy handbag and accessory line doesn't stop this woman. I caught up with the native Newarker (from Newark,NJ) after the release of her new book Envision: The Young Accessory Designer's Guide to Collection Development, this is what this Superwoman had to say.
