RANDOM POST - GENEVIEVE JONES

WHO IS GENEVIEVE JONES?

When you Google her name that's probably the most frequent question that comes up. I already posted about her a few months back. I couldn't resist doing it again since I learned she has a new handbag and accessories line that's recently come out. I've heard many rumors about this girl, that she's southern, from an average income family and says she's in her 20s, but her real age is estimated at around 32. How did an ordinary girl climb her way to the top socially to become a designer (Inc Zac Posen) and Vogue muse? Maybe it's that rich boyfriend that I've heard about or her good friend Margarita Missoni? No matter how she got to the top one thing is for certain, she's got great style and she gives us all hope!

JAY Z "Elizabeth Arden hopes to bring added urban appeal to department stores this September with 9IX Rocawear, the first fragrance to be launched under its Rocawear license.
