7 For All Mankind Warehouse Sale

7 For All Mankind is having their first ever warehouse sale at the Metropolitan Pavilion. We were sceptical at first because they would not supply us with styles and pricing. Their PR representative, however, did assure us that pricing will be less than Gap's new line of jeans.If given the choice we would take a pair of 7s over Gap's $70 version and day of the week. Shoppers are encouraged to register ahead online.If you're looking for the best price, book a Sunday shopping appointment because prices drop each day of the sale.

Reports back from the LA 7s sale, which occurred last week, were mostly positive. If buying irregular or sample jeans make sure to look them over carefully. Embellished jeans, not surprisingly, cost a bit more. Fitting rooms are questionable so wear leggings. Most importantly, remember: Jeans that don't look great are worthless no matter how inexpensive. 7 For All Mankind Warehouse Sale Friday October 2nd, 2009 - Sunday October 4th, 2009 10:00 AM - 8:00 PM Metropolitan Pavilion 123 West 18th Street, 5th Floor Register ahead online

Bobby Hill, Painter of Artistic Dreams

On September 24, The Sound of Art presented, Relentless starring Bobby Hill an international pop graffiti abstract artist/painter at The Vault one of uptown's Premiere clothing and sneaker spots. Bobby, featured below in a plain  white t-shirt, is quite the opposite, working his way from sidewalk to renowned art galler his story of stardum is as colorful as his latest pieces. 

Though the Vault has been displaying Bobby's work since last fall, his latest pieces proclaim the best is yet to come. Eight, new remarkable works were displayed as media interviewed, clients shopped and hors d'oeuvres and cocktails flowed.

Thigh High to Heaven

Have you ever been so afraid of something that you open your mouth to scream and nothing comes out? Or maybe the pitch was so loud you think nothing came out but your yorkie-poo is barking loudly at the moon? Well, This is my current situation. I opened my mouth to say something about this wondrous footwear but I believe the the pitch was to high for my human ears. These boots are so amazing they scared the sound out of my mouth, and trust me I'm never at a lost for words. Seriously I don't even know what to comment on them, all I can muster up from my mouth is LOOK. I salute you Mr. Cavalli, you have left me speechless.

Pure Inspiration

I believe all girls have a little bit of princess in them, and if you're like me you have a little more than most and I LOVE name chains so this line was right up my alley. Disney Couture and its sister line Kidada for Disney Couture have become one of the most sought after jewelry lines for Hollywood girls including Paris Hilton Miley Cyrus, Nicole Ritchie, and Lindsey Lohan to name a few. Disney Couture offers a line of Disney phrased name chains. I have the "Believe" necklace which comes in a beautiful royal purple duster bag and is signed by Tink, herself. (Love her, she's sassy just like me) I love this jewelry line because the quality is great the price is perfect, and just think of walking into that corporate meeting with a subtle necklace that says "fairest of them all"!  Here are some of the other phrase necklaces offered by Disney Couture, I love and want them ALL!

Dreams Come True Necklace $34

Tinkerbell "Believe" Necklace by Kidada for Disney Couture $3614 Ct gold plated necklace by Disney Couture - 'Fairest of them all' pendant - With red enamel apple charm -$50

You're Such a Show Off!

I love everything Juicy!!!!! While I didn't like the first Juicy Couture scent, I really enjoyed Viva Juicy and their newest fragrance Couture Couture by Juicy Couture is an amazing oriental floral fragrance who's top notes include mandarin orange, African orange flower and grapefruit; middle notes are jasmine, honeysuckle and plum; base notes are amber, vanilla and sandalwood. Its absolutely delicious, and the bottle stands alone on my bureau Simply Gorgeous!

Breast Cancer Awareness!

Breast cancer awareness month is an one of the many opportunities to give to a great cause, remember those you have fought the battle and won, those who didn't and those who are still fighting. In honor of National Breast Cancer Awareness Month I wanted to do a limited edition pink post!

 

 Mike’s Hard Lemonade is marking its 10th anniversary with a new seasonal flavor available through October,mike’s hard pink lemonade. The new pink flavor’s packaging carries with it a breast cancer awareness message and a tribute to Jacqueline S., a member of the Mike’s family who lost her battle with breast cancer earlier this year. In Jacqueline’s memory, the company will also be making a $250,000 donation to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation. 

Pretty in pink and oh-so-fun, this cute smoothing iron smoothes, tames and polishes even the most unruly locks in no time flat. And the best part, a portion of the proceeds from each purchase will be donated to Cancer Schmancer, an organization whose mission is to diagnose all women’s cancer in stage one, when it is most curable.

Breast cancer survivor and professional makeup artist Sonia Kashuk and Target® are joining forces to support The Breast Cancer Research Foundation. With 15% of the purchase price of this item going to support BCRF’s mission to prevent and find a cure in our lifetime, it’s one more beautiful way to fight the fight against breast cancer.

FCUK IT

How could I forget? While checking out the new Rachel by Rachel Roy collection in Macy's a few weeks ago I continued to browse the floor and found a black dress with zipper detail and a slight hang in the middle back area. This dress fit like someone came, took my measurements and sewed it on to my body. Who made this amazing ensemble, perfect in length, color, and cut? French Connection of course. I will be honest, I have been wearing this brand since my playground days and as an young fashionista and rarely associate French Connection with sexy going out attire. I think of my tshirts that say "To busy to FCUK", Cool as FCUK, or my favorite "FCUK the DJ". (Don't ask lol) However, boy was I in for a treat! French Connection has some great pieces, I am truly in love, and I will be back for more. The collection of dresses being my favorite, have a look for yourself.
