my bff Kim lives in LA which is sadly 3,000 miles too far away from me. but it does give me an excuse to go out there, and in addition to getting to see her - i always meet some of her friends, all of whom are amazingly creative. (she's like a magnet for people - she's fab and i love her)
one of these friends that i met years ago, Michelle Frantz, a bag designer, is now working for Donna Karan. the collection is BEYOND gorgeous and i kind of want every single one of them. i love seeing people getting places - and it's even better when they are making beautiful things!

bloomin' SALES!
slightly irritating, but kind of funny, admit it!
Bloomingdale's is having an end of summer sale. now then my dears - there are plenty of goodies there on the website. but if you go into the stores - as i did today (and let me just say here - i did for you. i did it because i care. it's what i do for you) there are loads upon loads of racks that are 50% off the already reduced price. allow me to repeat myself. 50% off the already reduced price!
this involves some math of course, which is why the inventors of cell phones put calculators on communication devices...clearly. but really now - something that is 50% off of something that was already reduced by 50% - well that is just practically free now, isn't it??!!

a daily dealie
i have always liked Vita bracelets - they're half punk/half luxe - but not in that late '80s "high end designers trying to do punk and selling billion dollar ripped things" way... like the whole Chanel biker thing... oh don't get me started on that. anyhoo...i'm a big fan of leather jewelry - it just hits me with its best shot. i tend to go neutral, but there are some very fun colors that could add a little pizazz to an otherwise simple outfit... a little color on the wrist, and jeans and a t-shirt are a lot more fun.
take a gander at their website, and use the code People09 at checkout and you will get 20% off, thanks to the lovely people over at People StyleWatch magazine! ah sales. i love them.
a little morning man style
it is probably rather difficult not to look great when you are Brad Pitt. that fact aside - i just felt this deserved a little man shout out.men, or ladies who help their men, look how simple it is. it's just a short sleeved button down shirt and a pair of khakis. (sunglasses and the hat are optional - but they certainly give it an extra oomph). it just looks good. and the man bag. fear not, strong men. the man bag is a great thing. it means you don't have to load your pockets with crap, making you look oddly mis-shapen and lumpy. embrace the man bag. it is your friend. dress simply, dress well, it's hot.
that's about all i have to say about that. now i'm just going to look at this picture for a second...

i can't quit the junk
apparently i am having a hard time kicking the habit today... not that i've even tried... but it's feeling like a product-y day today kiddies!
check out InStyle makeover issue. i'm never a fan of the full-face makeover in stores - but it is always fun to try on a new face at home, and see what really stirs your noodles style-wise. i personally always always always end up with the boho look - any time i try ANYTHING else i have to wash my face ten minutes later. my friend melody can rock the bombshell look. jealous!

for ye product lovers!
i used to go into the SpaceNK shops in London and spend a healthy amount of time wandering around and looking at every single solitary item... part of my fabric, as a product junkie.they came over here a few years ago, and it is still a great shop, although nothing beats the thrill of scoring new products in a different country. why? i'm not sure... it just is what it is.
for all ye of the same fabric of which i am created - it's SALE TIME! strap on your strappy sandals and get yourself to one of the shops - i bet it is air-conditioned, so it will be a double delight.

beyond adorable
these bags are a) super cute and practical, as any good tote should be, and b) give 30% of the proceeds to a childrens charity. so, i ask you - what is not to love about THAT? hmmm... i'm going to add a c).c) they are affordable, which plops them directly into cheap thrill territory my dear stylies.
i'm thinking this will be a perfect gift to give people - and i may just have to get myself one... if i behave. hey look! i behaved!
the website I am Beyond has a bunch of very cute things in addition to the bags - so check it out and do some good while you satisfy your itch to purchase!!! ( and then you can use the bag to carry all the other things you purchase!) it just keeps getting better. beyond better!
