So maybe you’ve seen all the buzz on the hottest new brand, PH8? The stores are finally launching nationwide and to make this even better, here are two amazing coupons that you can print out and bring in for discounts! 25% off a coat (if you live somewhere cold) and 25% off a super cute Funnel Dress if you live somewhere a bit warmer! Enjoy.
So I just read this article on People.com and I’m sure that I’m not the only person who isn’t shocked. Taylor Jacobson has left Rachel Zoe, Inc! I’m completely obsessed with the Rachel Zoe Project, as are many, so if you’re also an avid watcher, you know that all Taylor did was basically complain about everything. As annoying as it was was to listen to the constant bitching, it was evident that Taylor IS actually good at what she does. BTW- loooove the coat she wears in the above photo. Here’s what her statement email said:
“After four amazing years at Rachel Zoe Corporation, I’m saddened and exhilarated at the same time to announce my departure. After much thought and consideration, I have decided to take the challenging leap to go off and style on my own.”
So for anyone who didn’t know, I worked at the clothing retail store Mandee my junior year of high school. I had many, many random jobs in high school but I have to say, working at Mandee was one of my favorites. I honestly think that I spent 90% of my paycheck while working…but hey, at least I was getting 30% off. What’s great about Mandee (for a high school student) is that everything there is super trendy AND super cheap…and you have to remember, I was in high school pre-Forever21 so yeah, it was my mecca. Plus, it was closer to my house than the mall. Anywho, I’ll stop ranting about my “glory days” and get to the charitable part.
Mandee has partnered with Soles4Souls, the international shoe charity dedicated to providing shoes to people in need. From November 4th through December 24th, all 120 Mandee stores will be collection donations of gently worn shoes and as a thank you for participating, each customer that donates will receive a 20% off discount coupon towards an item of their choice. Good deal if you ask me! Need more convincing? In addition to collecting shoes, Mandee will also collect $1 donations at the register from any customer that chooses to provide further support to Soles4Souls. Soles4Souls has given away more than 5.5 million pairs of new and gently worn pairs of shoes to-date! Since it’s estimated that Americans have 1.5 billion pairs of unused shoes lying in their closet, you really have NO excuse. For further information on the campaign and way to donate, visit www.giveshoes.org.
So I attended a supremely awesome event in LA the other night- Gen Art’s 12th Annual Fresh Faces in Fashion. Check out the highlights on TheLuxurySpot.com, where I show you a photo from the coolest runway show ever.
So lately I’m really into statement jewelry and I recently checked out a few designs by Michelle Roy. They’re a little rock star, which I love, and are definitely conversation starters, which I also love. My favorites? Layered chain necklaces, snake pendants and studded rings. Check them out (and more) at MichelleRoyDesigns.com.
So I know it’s a little obvious but I totally want to be Lady Gaga for Halloween this year. Last year, I was Eve (as in Adam and) and part of me also wants to use my Eve costume again since I made it, and it is totally awesome, AND no one in LA has seen it yet. However, this is my first Halloween in a new city…and a new city that apparently may give NYC a run for it’s money when it comes to crazy costumes (enter West Hollywood). Anyway, I already ordered a platinum blonde hair bow on Etsy so now all I need is some outfit inspriation. It’s a little tough with Lady Gaga because I really could just wear anything short and loud, no? Here’s what I’m thinking, after watching four Lady Gaga videos on MTV.com:
Hair bow, check. Big black sunglasses, check. I’m needing black fingerless leather/pleather gloves and might possibly do some kind of lightening bolt on my face. My first thought for makeup is undoubtably Illamasqua. If you haven’t already heard of the line, it screams drama and Lady Gaga. Any ideas for my actual outfit? Animal print? Leather? Fishnets? I need some ideas!
So recently I tried out an a-mazing bra called the U-plunge Convertible, Padded bra by Fashion Forms and I was truly awed. I’ve always avoided buying certain tops and dresses because I knew that I wouldn’t be able to wear a bra with it…and I just can’t do that. My breasts are by no means large but they’re too large to not wear a bra and that sort of in-between actually really sucks sometimes. When I wore the U-plunge bra with a very low cut dress, I still had the shape and padding that I have with my regular bra but I could still wear the sexy dress. LOVE this.
