Doesn't it always feel that even those who carry a measuring tape in their purses can never find the right size and style of jeans for their body type? Face it, dressing room mirrors lie, and it's all too easy to leave with form-fitting jeans that turn into whale tale instigators.
Get an honest opinion from some folks who know a thing or two about these things. From 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Friday, 7 For All Mankind stylists will offer some helping hands through appointment-only fitting consultations at Elyse Walker in Pacific Palisades. For more information, contact Tory at (310) 230-8882, ext. 27. Then use your tape measure to decorate some gift wrap.

If you didn't blow your holiday budget at the mall on Black Friday and you're going to take our advice and head out to Pacific Palisades to shop the local merchants, pencil it in for Dec. 4. We're told that's when the last call starts at Elyse Walker's women's clothing and shoe boutique, with a 75% discount on all sale merchandise (on our last visit, Christian Louboutin and Prada were among the shoes priced to walk).
At the same time, next door at the Elyse Walker Men's shop, the already-on-sale merchandise goes to 50-60-70 -- the first item is 50% off, the second is 60% off and the rest of sale purchases are discounted 70%. When we were poking around the sales rack a few weeks ago, among the notable things we spotted were a Rag & Bone dark navy Svedke coat (at a pre-sale price of $688), a Michael Bastian checked blazer with corduroy elbow patches (originally $2,388), a black leather Alexander McQueen puffer jacket ($3,852), and a wide selection of Barker Black shoes, including $250 sneakers and $850 wingtips with toe-cap perforations that form a subtle skull-and-crossbones design ($850).
Elyse Walker and Elyse Walker Men, 15300 and 15306 Antioch St., Pacific Palisades, (310) 230-8882, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday to Saturday, noon to 5 p.m. Sunday. Photo of Elyse Walker Men courtesy of Elyse Walker.
