| Missoni for Target. This is Something to get Excited about! |
| 2011-09-08 17:37:00 |
I have never cared about the occasional capsule-collection various designers have created for Target, for eBay, for H&M and the likes.This one, though, is close to my heart: Missoni for Target.I have always loved Missoni. I have never been able to afford Missoni.I have loved their unmistakable knits, and I have always dreamed of owning one of their dresses or cardigans, or two. And now is my chance.I understand that they might not be the "real" thing, maybe a diluted version of their spectacular pieces, maybe they won't use as many colors, maybe they won't be as soft... who knows? All I know is that there is only one way to find out, and that is I HAVE TO GO TO TARGET! On September 13th. At 11:00 AM sharp I'm planning on being there. And I hope there is not a crowd, because if I have t...

| Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Day 1 Results |
| 2011-09-08 17:23:00 |
Ok, I sucked at this first day predictions... BCGCMAXAZRIA sucked, too... like, what is this?Or this?What are these frills, these flowing fabrics, these ugly colors bunched up together? Not feeling it, sorry.Richard Chai was full of these confusing 80s references:Nicholas K tried to channel Kurt Cobain, I think:Oh my, I can't even describe this one.Or this one. Just look at it. From a distance it might look interesting, but if you look closely, all that bunching up can't be comfortable. And the bracelet makes total sense. Not!I wasn't able to find anything on Tadashi Shoji, but it doesn't matter, because it probably sucked too! ;)Here's hoping for a better Day 2... stay tuned for my useless predictions later on tonight....

| Let's Play a Fashion Week Game |
| 2011-09-07 21:57:00 |
Tomorrow is the first day of Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week. Usually, just like at the Oscars, they make you wait for the most wanted designers until the last days of the show, which means tomorrow we'll have some decent but not world famous names showing off their stuff. Here is the schedule, and to make things more interesting this year, I'd like to make some "out of nowhere" predictions.I'm not embarrassed to say that I don't know most of these guys (and/or girls). I mean I love fashion and all, but I'm not good with names, especially those of the many obscure designers out there (that somehow get to show at Fashion Week!)I'll say that the BCBGMAXAZRIA will be a good show, because I usually like their stuff and I've owned a dress or two and they're made very well. TADASHI SHOJI rings a bell...

| Fashion Night Out is Coming! |
| 2011-09-06 22:46:00 |
For the third year in a row fashion takes center stage and as the phenomenon has become more and more successful, more and more celebrities and designers come out to play with us "regular" people on this special night.This year the date is 09/08/11 and while it would have been cooler to have 09/10/11, I think they prefer to have a Thursday instead of a Saturday as a spending day, and not miss out on some of the Jewish community like they did last year (they had FNO during Rosh HaShana).For the third time in a row I won't be going. The first year I had a 3 month old baby. The second year I had a 1 year old baby. This year I have a 2 year old baby. Plus, crowds scare me. Especially fashion-hungry crowds. I rather spend a little more and not get mobbed. Like I've said, I have a 2 year old, an...

| Do you know about Camper shoes? |
| 2011-09-05 22:50:00 |
My friends in Italy tell me this shoe brand is very popular there. For all I know, it could be a best seller here in the US too, but I had never heard of it until last month, when my friend mentioned it.Then one day, on a walk down the streets of Soho, I found a Camper store, and I had to take a look. Hmm. Very pretty shoes. Maybe a little too casual for me, or maybe they target a "younger" crowd. Or maybe I'm not hip enough for them. Or maybe they're just not my style. I don't know. I would have to try them on, and if I would discover them to be comfortable, I could buy a pair.But they need to be very comfortable, because the price is on the steep side... let's say this pair I like:I love that it looks like a pair of flats, but then it has a tiny bit of heel, and that is so much better fo...

| My Favorite Makeup |
| 2011-08-29 16:17:00 |
With the wedding, the earthquake and hurricane Irene behind us, I think it's time to talk beauty and fashion again on NY Spender. What do you think?One thing I've learned from the wedding is that you can definitely save money by doing your own makeup, and that with a good amount of practice, everyone can become better at putting makeup on. Really!Look at me!I was so happy with the end result of weeks of practice! I had primer and foundation on, but it never looked heavy nor cakey. I'm happy that I picked the purple for the eyes (blended with beiges), because it helped me keep that "fresh face" look I wanted to have. The lipstick was a different shade of pink, so that I didn't look all one color all over.The best thing about this makeup is that it lasted through the whole wedding, and that ...

| Two Things I've Learned from Earthquakes |
| 2011-08-23 16:31:00 |
We are all doing ok in NY.I was inside a store, waiting at checkout, when the earthquake came around and I felt myself undulating back and forth. At first I thought I was getting very dizzy for some reason, and I seriously thought "wow, maybe I'm about to pass out or something". Then I looked at this sunglasses' stand next to me, and I saw it was also moving back and forth, and then I looked at the little table next to the stand and that was still moving a bit, too... so I figured it must have all been caused by the subway train close to the store... even if there was no train currently passing by...As soon as I got to the register, the cashier had received a phone call from home and was commenting out loud that we had just experienced an earthquake. So we all started telling eac...

| New Coach Patent Leather Bags Are Not My Thing |
| 2011-08-12 16:47:00 |
I don't know, maybe it's just me, but there is something about patent leather that cheapens a look.I remember having a spacious black patent leather bag when I was 21 and I loved it. But it was all part of a look, of a twenty-something edgy experimental new yorker.But today, in my 30s, I don't find much room in my wardrobe for a patent leather bag.Especially not for one that costs $400.So I don't really like any of the new Coach patent leather bags.The patent look has a bit of a "bad reputation", and while I understand it can be fun, I also don't think it can be a "classic" and I love a classic.Let's see... given the choice which one would you pick (you can't say both)?Which one would you buy?...
