by Kimberly from Pennsylvania As I've mentioned before, I look at the Ivey Abitz website just about every day. If I'm having a dreadful sort of day I may even look it at it more than once. Often I see something new before I get the announcement via email. Thinking it was about time for my...

Deciding on an Ivey Abitz Wardrobe with A Little Help from the Designer Herself
by Kimberly from Pennsylvania I would like to think I’m pretty good at putting outfits together, but in reality I’m probably hit or miss. When my outfit is a good one it’s pretty great but some of my misses would make me eligible for that TV show with the secret footage. One huge mistake...
