About Catey Hill
Hometown: Atlanta
College / Grad School: Tulane University / University of Texas at Austin
Most-Loved Fashion Labels: Jimmy Choo, of course!, and Rodarte
Most-Loved Fashion Labels That I Can Actually Afford: J.Crew; Theory and Catherine Malandrino (when they're on sale)
Biggest Fashion Disaster: When a strap on my gorgeous Betsey Johnson dress broke at a high school formal, leaving me, um, exposed to the entire crowd (as if high school wasn't mortifying enough)
Favorite Money-Saving Tip:The 48-hour rule: If I want something that costs more than $100, I make myself wait 2 days before buying it (during which time I force myself to consider just how much I really want it - and what I'll have to give up to get it). This rule has saved me from more than one pair of Jimmy Choos (and a pile of credit card debt!).
