did we hear jimmy choo and 65% off?
source: madison avenue spy
We just received word that Jimmy Choo has dropped prices again on their spring and summer merchandise. The current discount is now 65% but the sale only runs until Friday. We imagine that following Friday, all left over merchandise will be sent to the abyss of unwanted items of seasons past.
In May, Jimmy Choo took their first discount of 30% off. Then prices dropped to 50% off in mid-June. This current discount is their third and final markdown. We hear that sizes are getting limited. So now would be a good time to get any items you were holding out for.

cheap chica - alias premium denim
our querida fashion contributor liiana vazquez founder of the cheap chica's guide to style just uncovered a denim treasure for you...
It’s easy to find an amazing pair of jeans when you’re shopping for Paige, Rock & Republic and even the infamous Rag & Bone…but they’re completely OOOB (out of our budget) because these designer brands will cost you well over $150!
But you don’t have to spend whole lot to get that designer fit…for all the women out there who are jean obsessed (myself included) and are always looking for the perfect fit, I just found a pair that you’ll totally love!
I recently got to test drive a pair of jeans by Alias. Like most of us, the Alias designers were sick of spending money on premium denim and decided to take matters into their own hands…and create a line that’s affordable for all of us!
The jeans were very comfortable, they had a nice medium weight and the rise wasn’t too low…but if your anything like me, you’ll have to make a trip to the tailor, because these jeans are just a bit too long for someone who’s only 5′2″.
Overall, these jeans fit well and I love the fact that they’re made from high quality denim, but that they only retail for $40! The only downside is that the jeans only come in one style, but I’m super anxious to see what else they have in store for all of us designer denim junkies on a budget!

you. argentine bbq. malbec. and a fabulous summer evening!
we don't really need a specific season to indulge in argentine asado and a gorgeous bottle of malbec but summer is a great time to experiment by making a simple chimichurri, a traditional dipping sauce of herbs, garlic and vinegar. chimichurri is used as a condiment to enhance the flavor of grilled meats, but also works well on chicken or vegetables.
here’s one iteration of the recipe, created by pablo ranea, executive chef at the restaurant francis mallman 1884 and azafrán:
ingredients
1 teaspoon of chopped garlic
¼ cup of chopped parsley
1 chopped scallion (the green part only)
2 teaspoons of chili flakes
2 teaspoons of chopped thyme
3 ½ ounces of wine vinegar or lemon juice
3 ½ ounces of extra virgin olive oil
salt and pepper
directions
mix all ingredients in a bowl, adding the olive oil last. chill in the refrigerator for a minimum of 2 hours for integration of flavors. a full day would be better.
so here is the plan: make the chimichurri sauce. grill a few pieces of churasco (skirt steak.) serve a bottle of an exquisite malbec, Don Miguel Gascón, a simple mixed green salad and dulce de leche ice cream and you can feel as argentine as evita!

lions den (leonera)
lion's den/leonera Sent to prison for allegedly killing her lover, Julia discovers she is pregnant and is sent to a high-security maternity ward to serve her time. Julia’s only concern now is her son. Her fellow inmate Marta becomes her ally; her mother SofÃa, her opponent. One attempts to teach her how to be a mother; the other wishes to take over rearing the child. The film, shot in a real prison with inmates as extras, shines a light on a little known aspect of prison life: motherhood behind bars.
