Denim Therapy 101


Sometimes we pay top dollar to get a haute pair of jeans with holes in them, but when you don't discovering a hole in your designer denim may feel like someone just pinched you really hard - in your wallet. Well don't fret b/c DENIM THERAPY has the solution to your fashion disaster. Send your denim from anywhere in the world to these miracle workers & you'll be back in your fave pair of skinny jeans in no time. Don't get it twisted - this isn't your typical patchwork job from the local alterations shop. The Denim Therapy Company was created in 2006 with the goal to fix any hole, hem, or broken denim regardless of damage severity. An innovative jean repair system is used to restore your denim to good-as-new. And if you find out you're on "preggers watch" or "official preggers status" you can even have your denim altered to grow with you!

The estimated cost for repair is $7/inch + shipping which is a heck of a lot cheaper than buying a brand new pair of $200-$300 jeans. For more info on this fantastic service CLICK HERE

"The Devil" in the Flesh Kicks Off Urbanista Afternoons



Good day urbanistas & urbanistos! I must apologize for my "tardy to the party" behavior lately, however my plate is full & spilling over onto the table. I appreciate your patience but don't think I'm purposely neglected my duties.

For the longest I've had the idea to create a monthly event where my closest urbanistas & I get together for a little laughter, relaxation & fabulosity. Each month will feature a different activity that we can all do together while networking & getting some necessary TLC. This might be something you would enjoy replicating for yourself & your fab group of friends. For the kickoff I invited the ladies to join me for a showing of the critically-acclaimed documentary "The September Issue." If you *heart* any aspect of the fashion world and/or the world of magazine publishing this is a MUST SEE. Even if you don't have a clue about the "glamourous life" this film is still a candid & riveting look at how "high society" impacts big business and touches every facet of the modern world. The film chronicles style ICON Anna Wintour aka "The Devil (Who) Wears Prada" and her VOGUE team as they prep the Sept. '07 issue, which is the biggest-selling issue (to date) of the mag. Check movie listings in your area to check it out. *air kisses*

At City Hall’s May 20 press conference to announce Fashion’s Night Out, Vera Wang said, "To put it bluntly, if people don’t shop, people lose their jobs."

The first evening of New York Fashion Week, Fashion's Night Out will encompass festivities galore— from inventive window displays to model and celebrity appearances. Champagne may flow; hors d'oeuvres may be passed. Rumors of musical performances, downtown barbecues, shoe capsules, limited-edition rings, and sweepstakes abound. Apparently there will be makeovers, brow bars, and haircut stations at sundry spots, too."
