If you don’t live in NY or LA you can still get involved in The Art of Shopping’s Sample Sale because it’s online. The selection is great with brands like Seven, citizens, Hudson, Rock and Republic as well as other denim brands . The shirts and bags are OK but if you’re a denim addict [...]

The Summer is quickly approaching, too quickly, and I know many of us would like to shed a few pounds to get a bikini-ready body. Now’s the perfect time to start the Self Challenge. Run by Self Magazine, this is a free tool that helps you monitor your diet and keep you motivated. It’s really [...]

 
The other day I got caught in a torrential storm in Manhattan sans umbrella. I ducked into the HBO Store on 42nd street to get out of the rain and was pleasantly surprised. The store has a whole pink wall dedicated to Sex and the City with great apparel and accessories. Even though SATC hasn’t [...]

Now for the stuff that won’t hurt your wallet. There are a ton of cute anchor accessories out right now that you can get for less than $15. I love this stripe anchor headband. Want to know why? It’s $6! It comes in this navy and white pattern and a red, navy and white pattern. [...]

Anchors are ahuge trend this spring and summer and I love the trend, I’ve actually been sporting it for a while and credit myself for starting the trend (jk). Well Voom has created this adorable strapless nautical dress for $175. I will also be bringing you other anchor-related picks later this week so keep an [...]

I’ve always been intrigued by nude lips, you know the perfect ones you see in print ads in Elle and In Style and I have been on a seemingly never-ending hunt for the perfect nude lip. Alas, I’ve found it. Bare Escentuals has created the “Wearable Nude Lip Collection” with the operative word being wearable. [...]

 
Couture designer Nanette Lepore has created a special line for Keds that just debuted. This is a really strategic move for Keds and resembles the guest designer trend started by H&M and Target. The line is actually really cute. I normally wouldn’t be caught dead weairing Keds despite the heavy ad campaigns with Mischa Barton but Nanette’s [...]

One of my pet peeves is when designers in certain niches try to cross over into different niches. It’s kind of along the lines of actresses becoming singers—just stick to what you do well and stop trying to conquer the world. Well Jimmy Choo shoes are an all-time favorite of mine but their bags are [...]

Dolce and Gabbana is notorious for their controversial advertisements that are sure to catch attention, but this time it seems they went too far. This “fantasy rape” advertisement received backlash across the globe, especially in Europe, for glorifying violence against women and gang rape. Spain has banned the ad and other countries are following suit [...]

The Chanel Rock and Chain Tote that everyone was eyeing at fashion week will soon be available to consumers. To me it resembles the Fendi Spy bag as far as texture, just bigger. It’s available in alligator and calf skin and the wait list is building already. I heart it, what do you think? Take [...]

 
This is the best news I’ve heard in a while- Sarah Jessica Parker is launching her own clothing line, called Bitten within the coming year! I personally love SJP’s style and Carrie is a fashion icon, even though some of her outfit choices were suspect. Word is that she will sell her line to Steve [...]

Murphy’s Law: Anything that can go wrong will go wrong, this especially holds true on a girl’s wedding day. That’s why I love Mindy Weiss’s Bride emergency kit. Mindy, a celebrity wedding planner, has seen it all and is preparing new brides for some of the day’s challenges. This handy kit will help any bride [...]

.        Eva Longoria is the new, and first-ever spokesmodel for Bebe Sport and the ad campaign will be featured in this month’s Cosmo. I think Eva is a good fit for the campaign. She is always in cute workout outfits in Desperate Housewives and she is a former aerobics instructor. The blue and black outfit is [...]

 
I’m all for products that are good for the environment and Stella McCartney is notorious for green products, but has she gone too far with her woven straw thong sandals. I really don’t know what to make of these shoes and especially their price tag- $595. What do you think of them? Take the poll

Whip out your credit card because this is truly guilt-free shopping. Carmen Electra was just one of the models at the Max Factor Salutes Hollywood Fashion Show benefiting the Clothes Off Our Back Foundation which helps impoverished children across the globe. Well, the clothes the celebrities, such as Carmen, Denise Richards, Olivia Wilde, Kristin Cavaleri, [...]

 Breaking news, this mess of a $42,000 bag that looks like something a homeless person pieced together is more exclusive than previously thought. Only four will be sold in the U.S. and one has already been bought by a socialite in New York. No word on who yet. Jessica Simpson is also eyeing the bag. [...]

 
As you know from previous posts, I’m on the waiting list for the Tory Burch Reva flat in black (pictured above). These are truly the shoes of the spring and summer and I just can’t wait any longer. And now I don’t have to. I found an adorable look alike at a lot less than [...]

 
If you happen to be in Chicago you won’t want to miss “The New Look Exhibit” honoring legendary designer Christian Dior at the Chicago History Museum. I love when museums feature designer collections- about two years ago I went to see the Chanel exhibit at the Metropolitan Museum of Art and saw Coco’s early designs [...]

 
As Spring approaches, there’s one necessity that needs to be incorporated back into your wardrobe—your sunglasses. Now, I never retire my sunglasses but I know people who do. Why wear last season’s sunglasses when you can buy new ones? Especially when you can get these aforementioned new ones at 85% off retail. Interested yet? James [...]

One of my favorite actresses, Kate Walsh who plays Addison on Grey’s Anatomy is featured in this month’s issue of Best Life Magazine. Her photo shoot is amazing– I think the fashion directors did an amazing job with her wardrobe, hair and makeup. She is definitely much better looking than Grey and I’m glad the [...]

Jacobs had been sober for seven years and recently relapsed, entering a facility for drug and alcohol treatment according o Womens Wear Daily. Apparently he entered a facility on March 5th in Arizona and has been getting treatment. Good luck to Marc– [...]

I don’t know about this bag. To me it looks like a bunch of old seatbelts weaved together. It’s part of Fendi’s new B. Fendi line which has amazing bags and accessories, excluding this $1,580 gem. What do you think? Unique or revolting?

My friends and I have been facing a predicament for years. It can be hard to find double-d bras in stock. I used to get all of my bras from Victoria’s Secret but they discontinued selling their DD bras in store and I could only find them online. Some other department stores have “full figure [...]

 
It seems like Scarlett Johannson is doing everything except creating movies this day. First she appeared in Justin Timberlake’s What goes around music video and now the 22-year-old is the face of two major fashion houses and a sports line. Scarlett has singed on for the spring and summer print ads for Louis Vuitton and [...]

So it has been reported that Britney has been doing a lot of shopping from rehab. She has been ordering clothes at Intuition Boutique and here is what they say she ordered: Fortune Jeans, Suzanne Juul Sweater dress, Jaye Hirsh It perfume, a hobo buckle purse, and try not to laugh- three pairs of Dita [...]

I don’t know what it is about this bag but I need it. This canvas doctor bag features antiqued brass hardware and the color combo is hot. I also love the leather embellishments. Oh, and the best part is the price- just $58! What a perfect Spring bag, and it fits just about everything but the [...]

 
I have to admit, most days I really don’t mind global warming. Actually, in the dead of winter when it’s 50 degrees in New York I flat out love global warming. However, I recognize that it is having devastating effects and we need to put an end to it. Why not show your support with [...]

EDE Studio, one of my favorite bag designers, is holding a sample sale that you won’t want to miss. EDE bags usually range from $300 upwards of $600, but on March 7th, you can snag some for 40-70% off retail! (Try not to wet yourself). I love the oversized bags but I’m particularly fond of [...]

TheBalm’s Balm Shelter SPF tinted lipgloss, looks almost as good as it tastes. This lipgloss packs SPF 17, protecting your lips from the suns harmful rays and creates a pretty pout. I love the feeling of Balm Shelter as it glides on because it isn’t sticky a la MAC lip glass. Instead it is smooth [...]
