Bye Bye, Mallrats

Interesting article in the New York Times Style section today....
It's all about how the teen shopping culture has declined, particularly at higher-priced stores like Abercrombie & Fitch.

Love Du Jour







It's official. I've finally committed.  I'm SUBSCRIBING to a magazine.  I know, I know....those who know me understand that I have a weird 
little obsession with purchasing fashion magazines from the newsstand - particularly the newsstands on NYC street corners. ( That's right, the ones from CVS just aren't the same!)

I always get such a thrill from making a last minute purchase of Vogue or Nylon or Allure.  It's kind of like the beginning of a relationship.  You know, the butterflies in the stomach, the possibilities, the unknown.  So, when I decided that I had to find out more about this new digital magazine called Dujour, I knew it must be true love.  And my instincts were right.  This magazine has got it all:  style, substance, and a good heart.  And they leave no carbon footprint to boot! I think I've finally found my match.  

What are you waiting for?  Wish yourself a Happy Earth Day and subscribe right now:  www.dujourmag.com.

Kiss Kiss Bang Bang

So, I'm not really sure what I believe in terms of the creation of this lovely universe.  But if I'm gonna go by name alone, it would have to be the BIG BANG THEORY.  Come on, I mean it sounds just so fantastical and spontaneous.  A whole lot better than God taking 6 days and then a day of rest.  Why drag it out so long?  So, if you feel like having some instant gratification, puh-lease buy Big Bang Theory illusion gloss by Lipstick Queen!!!  It's super shiny, not sticky ( I swear!), and makes your lips look like Angelina's.  My favorite color is Energy, a happy red. Muah!

I HEART JCPENNEY....seriously

When I think of JCPenney, I think back-to-school clothes and my grandmother's huge JCPenney catalog that I use to cut out of and make paper dolls.  Or was that the Sears catalog?!  Well, you get the idea - it doesn't conjure up images of fashion forward types of clothing by any means. So, when I heard that Charlotte Ronson had partnered with the department store to sell a lower-priced version of her downtown aesthetic, I HAD to check it out!  Lo and behold, her stuff is just as cute as ever. Don't be put off by having to go to a MALL or walk through the rows of other, less-cute brands.  Just have tunnel vision and make a beeline for the I HEART RONSON collection.  Happy shopping!
