"The Good Life" Open Casting Call

Everyone loves the good life-especially you!  Maybe you live like a princess or maybe you only act like one; it matters not-point is, you deserve to be a princess!


Whether you get pampered on some one else's dime and your extravagant lifestyle includes luxury cars, designer handbags and expensive jewelry, or you're tapping out your resources to do whatever it takes to maintain the image, you could be just the girl we're looking for!  In this new series, it's all about you and your glamorous lifestyle. 


We are searching for the most outrageous, over-the top ladies who are living large!  Maybe you were born with a silver spoon or maybe everyone only thinks you were-either way, you're A-List, baby!  And, it's time everybody knows.


  • Is your closet full of designer clothes and shoes that would make Imelda cry?
  • Do you carry your teacup Maltese as an accessory?
  • Do you live in an amazing home with maids, a chef, a personal assistant or a driver?
  • Is your job an intense social calendar and your hobby shopping at Gucci?
  • Are you on the cutting edge of every trend and don't miss a beat when it comes to Hollywood gossip?
  • Do you live a lifestyle everyone envies?

Your parents or your boyfriend may think you're over the top- but we get it!  You don't shop sales, you don't let rules get in the way of a good time and you love champagne! Your friends want to be you and you want to be famous.  And we want to help. Attitude is everything--let's show the world what its like to be you!


Buy a knock off?  No way! Do your own laundry? Unthinkable! 

Pay your own way?  We must be kidding!

 

If this sounds like you, come meet our Casting Department in person!

The Rachel Zoe Project

With the roll out of the new site, gearing up for all of the fabulous events this fall and the search for a new assistant life has been a little out of sorts.  Last night I FINALLY tuned in to Bravo's Rachel Zoe Project, what a hot mess!  I can see why the haters love to hate but I have to say she is all I want to be when I grow up.  Studio flooding, missing garments, challenged assistants and good old fashioned drama... I loved every minute of it!!

Dueling Days - Fashion Week Fiasco

Hard to believe that Phoenix Fashion Week is here again.  The question is will they be able to bring in a crowd in light of Phoenix Runway showing on the same days?  I just got done reading the Arizona Republic's take on Arizona hosting not one, not two but three Fashion Weeks this year (it's a good read)!  I am interested to learn your thoughts - email me at claire@hauteaz.com.

Hugs and Happy Shopping!!
