Fall Fashion Fridays
We have solicited the help of some local stylists to help us all figure out what truly is the creme de la creme of fall fashion 2010. We asked them each to pick their top three looks or items to be on the look out for this fall. This week, we are highlighting a duo we affectionately call The Closet Girls, Tina Adams and Rebecca Thompson. To read more about their services, be sure to see...
Read MoreTina Adams & Rebecca Thompson Introduce Custom-made Shirts
Some things just make sense. So it makes complete sense that Tina Adams and Rebecca Thompson are offering custom made shirts for their male and female customers.
