If you’re a budding fashion designer, here’s your chance to show off. KFC is seeking submissions for its annual Chari-T program. Through July 10, creative types can go to KFC.com to submit a design for a chance to win a cash prize, trip to Fashion Week 2010 in New York City, a year of free KFC and the opportunity to have their shirts sold on KFC.com.
Net proceeds of the sales will go to Colonel’s Scholars,a charity providing funds to underprivileged students.
The top 12 designs will be posted on July 13 . Voters will decide which three designs deserve the right to be sold on KFC.com. and in the designers’ hometowns, and whose design is finger-lickin’ best for that coveted trip to New York.

Jimmy Choo coming to H&M stores, but what stores should come to Oklahoma?
Oklahoma has plenty of good things for it, but it would be nice if we had a few more shopping opportunities. I thought of that again this week when I learned that H&M would be collaborating with Jimmy Choo on a bag and shoe collection as well as clothes.
H&M already has teamed with Karl Lagerfeld, Stella McCartney, and most recently, Matthew Williamson. Now Jimmy Choo. The collection is set to debut Nov. 14 in about 200 stores around the world. H&M is a Swedish company known for its fast fashion.
Target does a good job with its designer collaborations, so cheap and trendy designer is available here. And we’ve got some great specialty boutiques. But when it comes to shopping options, more is always better. Plenty of people would love to see an H&M here, but that may be a while. Texas doesn’t even have one. But there’s three in Missouri. Try to figure that one out.
Anyway, what stores would you like to see in Oklahoma?

Freebie Friday: StriVectin Instant Facial Sculpting Cream
StriVectin Instant Facial Sculpting Cream
It’s a glorious summer day, and I can think of no better reason for a giveaway. This week’s freebie is StriVectin Facial Sculpting Cream, loaded with plant-based peptides and other extracts that combine to reduce the appearance of wrinkles as “it visibly lifts, tightens and tones the skin.”
According to StriVectin, the cream also increases skin elasticity and firmness, and helps improve the support structure of the skin and even out skin tone. The multi-functional cream has both an immediate and long-term effect on the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, crow’s feet, nasolabial folds and ear wrinkles, too. (Now that’s one I haven’t heard of before.) It also helps to redfine the cheekbones and jawline, making the face look more youthful, sculpted and defined.
The antiaging cream retails for $79. To be included in the drawing, send an e-mail with your name and mailing address to fashionmatters@opubco.com. One winner will be drawn from the entries. Deadline is midnight June 25.
