Sizzling Studio Fresh Sale
Today from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. is the final day of lunatic deals at Studio Fresh where you’ll find one-offs and deeply discounted merch from this coveted local collection. FF has been lusting over Studio Fresh’s textile collage skirts with a clever velcro closure for a couple of seasons and hopes to finally scoop one today. If you fondled these lovelies at the One Of A Kind show, now’s the time to score them at a discount.

Mark’s Work Wearhouse
Many FF readers have written in asking about affordable, flattering jeans for women over 50, some citing specific challenge areas (like less than taut tummies and derrieres). Enter Mark’s new line of butt-lifting and tummy control denims in stylish yet classic cuts that look fab on many body types (a bargain at just $49 a pair). FF was especially impressed with the tummy control jeans, which camouflaged the results of excessive summer-time ice cream consumption without cutting off circulation.
