And that is why, it’s among the best pieces of news ever that tomorrow…as in less than 24 hours from now, I shall be attending a black-tie event hosted by The National Arts Club during which they will be presenting Betsey Johnson with The Fashion Committee’s Medal of Honor for Lifetime Achievement.
Betsey Johnson is one of my favorite designers – and has largely influenced my style – and for that reason, I want to dress in a way that pays tribute to her distinctive style while at an event honoring her.
Browsing about, I discovered a hidden treasure – today …read more

I’m a big fan of New York & Co., especially when I score fabulous coupons.
If you click on this link, you will get $30 off a purchase of $75 or more, or $50 off a purchase of $125 or more. Considering these are already pretty crazy awesome deals, that’s amazing.
I love the outfit at left, I think flowing tunics will be big this season – because they are “cake hiders” and super sexy and feminine.  Plus, they have a very Hills-esque look.
And at under $40? I may buy two!

Last night, I had a discussion with a colleague about the rise of the private online sale – it seems that it came out of nowhere and now is what a lot of us fashionistas (or recessionistas, as the case may be) live and die by.
Why do you all think that is? And are these sales something you find yourself buying from often? Or just cyber-window-shopping?
Here’s some going on today!

• ABS by Allen Schwartz

Friends, I’m so sorry to find out about this so late: Today at Fashion Bug is Customer Appreciation Day!
What does this mean? For today online, Fashion Bug is offering 30% savings on regular-priced items. No code/print out is needed. But it’s for today only, so you have no time to loiter! You also get an extra 10% off of all clearance-priced items, which ain’t too shabby either.
My pick is this adorable polka dot sash dress – which, I confess, I like because it matches the decor of my apartment. I’m like a chameleon! It’s orig. $50, but on …read more

I’m always on the lookout for new sites related to shopping. Lockerz.com is a website that is currently in beta mode and launching later in the year. It’s a unique concept that brings together music, videos, online shopping and much more.  The site will feature editorial content, a social networking aspect and a points system where you can earn points and redeem them for merchandise.
This year at Fashion Week, Lockerz partnered with Ruffian. You might have seen Ruffian featured in The New York Times, Harper’s Bazaar, Teen Vogue, W, Elle, Nylon, Allure, Italian Vogue and WWD. Lockerz secured some VIP …read more

I really enjoy the looks of Milly at New York Fashion Week.
Essentially, it’s the clothes i wear in day-to-day life. It’s ready-to-wear — and yes, commercial – clothes that will take very little alternation before hitting the mall.
The collection is very girlie – there’s bows, and frills, and ruffles, and pinks. Everything feminine and frilly and, as I said, me. It was absolutely in my top five shows of the week. Check it out below!

Granted, we can’t all be headed to NYFW this week, to watch the fashions strut across the runways.
Trust me, that’s not necessarily a bad thing. After a week of living on caffeine and wine, many of us will be limping around, bloated and exhausted.
Next best thing? Stay at your computer and get the hottest fashions – on sale! Here’s some of the private sales going on today.
But while you are shopping away, don’t forget to follow the action. I will be posting here about many of the shows and events I attend – but you can keep up-to-the-minute by following …read more
