Frankie Pezza and  Stephanie Zografakis have opened up this amazing little accessory  boutique tucked in in a shopping strip at 25 W. Eagle Rd. in Havertown.
Stephanie named the boutique after her daughter Alexia. Inside this fabulous space are all types of jewelry, silk braided scarves, handbags, wraps and even belt buckles for that special someone. 

They have gel watches and fashion rings and bracelets.
 Each month they run a special on an item offering a discount. This month, gel watches; next month, fashion rings and bracelets. 

 This aunt and niece team have created an atmosphere where every corner you look you will find something unusual and interesting without being overwhelmed.  It definitely is a fashionistas paradise.  Frankie makes you feel at home.

 The beauty is that you will find one of a kind of an item unique in color at prices you can afford. Teens can come in and find clay bracelets for $6.50 and everything is tasteful. 

If you are looking for a gift, Frankie can help you out and you definitely will find something for that special someone.

 The women carry local artists like Sherry Tinsman, Angela Duffin and Susan Rifkin.

  Waxing Poetic is a new line of jewelry. Stephanie and Frankie have been lucky enough to have these pieces in their store as its been hard to get this jewelry on the East Coast. It's a line of jewelry and charms  made of sterling silver, brass and gem stones which makes beautiful gifts for anniversaries, new babies and just because. You can build on the chain adding charms and spacers. 

So make it a point to visit Alexia's Gift box when you are in Havertown. Keep Styling in Delco. 

Time to get out theShape-ups

My first pairs of Shape-ups.

Shape-ups for the legs.

Last year I discovered Shape-ups, a very thick sole shoe that firms the buttocks, the thighs, the abdominal muscles and calf muscles. A sneaker but so much more. Yes, you can feel the burn and when you first wear these shoes you shouldn't wear them all day. Try 30 minutes in the beginning. If not your knees will hurt.  Gradually you can though the whole day in them. Don't run though.

Shape-ups made by Sketchers features an unique soft kinetic wedge insert and dynamic rolling bottom to simulate walking on soft sand which in turn burns calories. What more could a girl want in a shoe?
So for my birthday last year I asked for a pair. Shape-ups aren't cheap and when you have small feet you can't find them on the sale rack so you have to go toSkechers website. ( Some stores like Macy's has sales though if you have the right size foot.)  They start at $80 and can be as high as $110.
You have so many to choose from on the website though. It literally took me hours and in my practical thought process I opted for the white, gray and blue for capris and  the black ones for jeans. too.Yes kind of expensive for a sneaker but think of it this way, no jiggly thighs. As swimwear season approaches, time to wear those Shape-ups. Can they truly reshape your body. Think the Biggest Loser...diet, and exercise with Shape-ups will reshape your body.DIET and EXERCISE. 
 But hey look at Kim Kardashian, the Shoe Diva's has given her stamp of  approval. Wedges are back you know. Keep Styling in Delco.
