Revisiting The Classics

As a girlie girl who still plays video games and watches cartoons (yeah, that's right) I got all warm and fuzzy inside when I saw these. They remind me of Archie comic books where the girls were always unbelivably coodinated and envy inspiring. If the cold weather hadn't just swooped down on us with avengence I would totally pick these up but I guess I'll have to wait for next summer. But, that doesn't mean you should... if you want them here they are.

In The Spirit Of Halloween

Just in case I have died of fright I'll get this out of the way. So funny...

First And Foremost

Target's Go:International line is bringing us more with the new release of Behnaz Sarafpour's line of clothing. And they say "international" but for us city girls this line is right at home coming straight from and inspired by the city that never sleeps. I think that this is probably one of the most comprehensive lines that has been released yet not to mention consistent. I can't wait to get my shop on!

Make Your Own Tiffany's

Tiffany & Co. has just launched a make-your-own-necklace line by Elsa Peretti, perhaps on of the few ways to afford jewelry by the iconic designer. Start with a sterling-silver, gold, or platinum chain and add as many heart-shaped charms made from semiprecious stones and minerals as you wish. They range from $100 to $450. Forward this post over to your lover just in time for the holidays, I'm sure they will get the hint. And to make it super easy on them, they can buy everything here without having to get up out of their chair.

For V...

Sephora’s got beauty and brains in the bag as we will see this November with the debut of Monopoly: Sephora Edition. Here's the twist, this time only beauty rules apply: players go to jail for bad hair days, advance to go for getting a manicure, pay fines for streaky self tanner application, and purchase products with beauty bucks. When players own an entire cosmetic category, they can place Sephora shopping bags on their properties and eventually upgrade to Sephora stores; they can also get ahead by stocking their stores with the most beauty products. Lending their names to the whimsical game are some of the industry’s top beauty brands. There’s Stila in Gloss Gardens, Make Up For Ever on Lipstick Lane, Nars on Cheek Street, Murad at Cleanser Crossing, and Bliss on Lotion Avenue. And with a retail price tag of around $45 I'm sure it will be on every little (and big) fashionista's Christmas list along with a few designer Barbies.

End Of An Era

Ok, I have taken my one week of mourning since the season finale of Project Runway. I couldn't be happier with the face that Jeffrey won, I think that he and Uli really did have strong shows and the judges were spot on with those decisions in the end. I suppose I should't be that upset I can still peek into the lives of Laura, Mychael, Jeffrey, and Uli whenever I feel like it instead of having to rush home after class. Or, better yet we can all start working on your own collection for the Season 4 casting calls...

For Alex...

With Uniqlo's much anticipated, New York 36,000 square foot flagship store opening next month it makes sense that this brand is on everyone's mind. And it still will be even after the dust from this launch settles becuause they have invited women’s wear designers Philip Kim, Alice Roi, Tina Lutz and Marcia Patmos of Lutz & Patmos, Kino, and GVGV, and men’s wear designers Halb, Satoru Tanaka, and Alexandre Plokhov of Cloak to each design capsule collections of eight looks for Spring/Summer 2007. Each of the eight designers’ creations will be showcased for one month each throughout the new year. “This project is yet another way to introduce Uniqlo’s unique balance of high style, high quality merchandise at affordable prices. We are extremely excited for this important project for Spring 2007,” says Nobuo Domae, Uniqlo’s U.S. CEO. It just keeps getting better, doesn't it?

If Only I was 6 Years Old Again

It’s never too soon to learn how to dress! Now fashionistas-in-training can start early with their own Diane Von Furstenberg Barbie. Diane really is everywhere... True to the spirit of Diane’s working-girl roots and signature style, the doll wears a hot pink wrap dress and carries a newspaper, passport, and suitcase so she can jet-set off to new adventures. As for the already blooming fashionistas, we’ll be able to jet-set to a new outfit this December, when Diane releases a grown-up version of the hot pink wrap dress to celebrate her new toy at Bloomingdale’s. Christmas for everyone! And while searching for this Barbie on the Mattell website I came across a the Badgely Mischka Barbie as well. Little girls are getting more fashion than I would have know what to do with at that age. Cute and scary all at the same time.

I'm Famous

Not really but I am on one of the people who is being featured on fashmatch.com with their launch of a new and improved way to shop online. I'm in the little testimonial section on the right and am randomly circulated among the other people who gave their opinions as well and I thought there would be a little more of a mention concerning She Spys The Buys but hey, we can't win them all. One of the newer features that I really liked is the fact that you can easily add items that are not already included in the selections to make the best outfits for yourself.

Granny Shoes?

Whenever anyone says Easy Spirit to me I think of the kind of shoes that my mother would wear to work as the wonderful school teacher that she is. That is, until now. Tara Subkoff, founder of Imitation of Christ, has designed a line of shoes for Easy Spirit that defintially not my mother's shoe! Flats, sandals, pumps, boots; a shoe for every occasion in a wide variety of colors. You can shop the entire collection online and take your pick before they take off.

Lazy Saturdays... Kinda

So I'm not at work, as you can see but I am definitally working, doing some super early or long over due spring cleaning. Comfy fleece pants I stole from my bf and a vintage Wizard of Oz t-shirt are what I'm rocking as I sashay around with my broom and my duster (of course.)Speaking of t-shirts. Thanks to Alex I now have yet another great t-shirt site to throw money at. Dirty Microbe had a small selection of fun graphic t's that make me chuckle. Best laugh was this, for me at least... what's yours?

Hollywould Ya?

Don't worry if you missed the party and the insane sale. Holly just keeps the deals coming! Now when you shop the Hollywould Pre-Fall collection online and use the code hwdc1006 at checkout you will get 30% off all shoes and handbags. And, after dropping 6 pairs of shoes off at the cobbler, while clacking away in my still perfect, yet incessantly worn, Hollywould sling-backs I am so tempted to stock up!

Ooh La La

After spending much of my life undergoing a rigerous parochial education I was for a long time disinclined to wear skirts for fun. After the skirt being part of a uniform for 8 years one looks to embrace the more masculine side of fashion. And I did! But more recently I have found myself gravitating back to dresses and skirts with a desire I didn't think possible. Lucky for me I stumbled across Boutique Ooh La La. They have one of the best selections of skirts that I have ever seen, orignal in design and color pallette with looks for every occassion.

Belt It Out

For a long time I have been very "anti-belt" mostly just because I don't like to have attention drawn to my waist. Very recently, however, I have started to embrace the belt because the new styles are so cute, not neccesarily meant to be worn around the waist, and seriously who really likes their pants to be falling down? It seems the folks over at Ecoist got that vibe because they have recently released a line of belts that are just too cute. And, if you really want to be super coordinated you can probably find a bag of sorts that matches. Super coordinated and super hero! Saving the earth one purchase at a time.
