Shopping

For those of you who don’t already know Lucky Magazine has added a new feature to it’s blogroll. It’s called Style Steals and today’s post profiles an etsy seller called Automaton.
Though they show the copper penny pendant that has predictably sold out, I am drawn to the creepy, crawly, and slightly more macabre items.

If you’ve been stopping by for a while you may remember my fascination with the surreal window displays at the Housing Works Thrift Shop.
I snapped these shots last night on my way home from work. Doesn’t it look like something you’d see visiting your eccentric old auntie who lives in some wonderfully decayed mansion with [...]

Mischa Barton gets a lot of flack for her style mis-steps so my expectations for the handbag collection she did exclusively for Asos weren’t very high. In the photo above, she embodies her muses Anita Pallenberg and Marianne Faithfull to the tee, but in my opinion her collection contains more “misses” than [...]

I’m Deep and Bright.
[Inserts tongue firmly into cheek here] If you’re a loyal reader of this blog you already know this.
But what you may not already know is – these actually refer to my personal best colour palettes – namely deep rich burgundy and purple hues or citrusy brights and electric blues.
How do I [...]

I am no stranger to the lure of Prada’s siren call.
Each season, guaranteed, la Miuccia delivers a shoe so extraordinary that after fanning myself from from a bad case of the vapors, I cough up the dough and resign myself to myriad tight-beltening exercises that allow me to indulge in that fleeting “hello lover” [...]

The ikat trend has been pretty big this summer and doesn’t show signs of letting up any time in the near future. Go to any mall or fashion district and you’ll see the graphic pattern everywhere. The problem with a hot trend is that knockoffs are plentiful and many are just cheap imitations that are [...]

Where does she find the time? Between all-night benders and skulking around Hollywood with some sullen looking 15 year old boy, La Lohan has, and I use the term loosely, designed a *ahem* charming line of leg-covering apparel.
These ankle warmers (actually called ankle gloves) are a mere $42 at Intuition. Or you could go hog-wild [...]

I always enjoy the magical window displays that Housing Works Thrift Shop dreams up. They’re so over-the-top fabulous, they’ve inspired many a wardrobe decision.
Last night I snapped these at their Upper West Side location on Columbus Avenue between 74th & 75th and as usual they don’t disappoint!

Aren’t those citrusy colors delicious? Fortunately, you don’t [...]

Nothing like a good deal to start off your day. Smart Bargains is having a pretty tempting sale at the moment. Buy 3 items for $99 — this applies to shoes, jewelry, and clothing so you can mix and match to your heart’s content.

So if someone put a gun to my head and told me [...]

Linda Pratka, a former Wall Street banker, just opened an evening dress rental store in NYC. Yup, that’s right, you can rent designer dresses, jewellery and handbags (don’t worry trendsetters, they’re hot off the rack). Who can afford a closet full of fancy dress you only wear twice in your life? Now you can save [...]
