Shopping Therapy

Every family has that uncle, whether it's Uncle Gun-Rack Jim, Massage-Therapist Larry, or Germs-Are-Evil Todd, but nothing compares to our craziest Uncle, Uncle Sam. He manages to borrow some serious paper every month and make tax time in April crazier than the family reunion.

Good thing shopping therapy and tax refunds go hand in hand! There's nothing like a cute new pair of shoes to help you forget about the April 15th due date. Take a peek at the ultra-fierce menagerie of heels from Davis by Ruthie Davis Shoes. Patent leather never looked so chic as in the D'Orsay Pump; quite possibly the perfect date shoe. If Madonna marched through Ancient Rome (undoubtedly in another lifetime), she might have been sporting the Multi-Strap Flat Sandal that seems to elevate the sandal to goddess status.

Back to money, if your CPA suggests a wiser investment, remind him about the immeasurable equity of a perfect pair of jeans, you can trust the investment firms of Hudson & Pierce or Paper Denim & Cloth, both are well-established style firms with a flawless record on fit!

Putting your assets into precious metals like gold and silver can protect your wardrobe allowance if the stuff ever hits the fan. Rebecca Norman offers some timeless baubles and bangles that will look amazing for years to come.

So lick that stamp by Monday or you may get a shiny new pair of these from your favorite uncle.
