Art Of Personal Shopping

I’m watching to much TV lately, and its going to get worse.  But that’s ok! Zoey is my favorite person ever, and well, Justin Timberlake too as you just saw. (I have a lot of favorite people.)  (She - the same, she can do everything. If you don’t have the cd’s She & Him Vol I and II, go get them!  Her voice is the most unique and captivating!)  I have been awaiting this show since the first promo was shown in the spring, finally! TOMORROW on Fox.

I LOVE this cover!!  Thank you dear editors of W!!  And, not just because Justin Timberlake is featured ever so perfectly.  Well, yes, that’s why.  He can literally do everything, and my love for him began upon his hosting Saturday Night Live. Humor makes everyone even more attractive - and again, this cover, priceless, cool, fun, LOVE.

Two of my favorite style people in one shot!  Photo taken by Habitually Chic blogger; and she writes…. 

For those of you who live in New York, the documentary Bill Cunningham New York is now available On Demand on Time Warner Cable.  I highly recommend it.  The photo of Bill Cunningham chatting with Stan Herman outside the Ralph Lauren fashion show venue was taken by me.  Oh, and that other street style photographer is in it too.

She means Scott Schuman!  What a great photo opp for her!

Audrey Hepburn makes a now iconic fashion statement in a scene from the classic Breakfast At Tiffany’s. The Blu-ray disc comes out on September 20, 2011! (Photo - Paramount Home Entertainment.)

I can’t wait until this hits my mailbox, from the looks thus far it’s going to be an amazing editorial.  From the first few photos I did see, Ms. Williams does justice to Marilyn’s memory.

Think you were going to wait til mid day or lunch hour to run over to Target for the Missoni collection? Think again…notice all of my sold out photos, but hopefully they will re-stock.

All the acrylic kitchenware… the tumblers sold out quick, luckily I grabbed a few….

Notice the shelves emptying…people, it’s not even 8:30 am!

I love this shopper who has on the Karl Largerfeld Collection for Macy’s dress, spotted that right away…and she was there before work grabbing the Missoni that’s going - or has gone, fast!

Notice only a few pieces here? Get my drift….

And a few scattered here….didn’t like this or the blue anyway.  Not as well made as one would have hoped.

Hair accessories and make up bags still there, but nothing to write home about…

Above are the tumblers I was lucky enough to get.  The housewares were cute, looked decent and well made.  The clothing, another story.  Think H&M, but mehh, not as good of quality, typical when a collection comes out like this.  (I was not thrilled with Karl Largerfeld’s Macy’s collection either.  I’ll wait to buy real Chanel one day.)  The stationary and bath items looked great too, just skip the clothing!  Well, If you can get any of it.  I’m sure it will be replenished as it’s all advertised to be in stock until mid-October.  Happy shopping, bring a power bar!!

Well would ya look at this!  A first for the industry and magazines!  No make up on the celeb for the cover - and if anyone will do something brave and daring it’s GaGa. She can get away with it, obviously and I love Glenda Bailey (editor of Bazaar) to do this, it’s such a great twist and so bold. That’s why, in my humble opinion, that Bazaar is just much fresher, way fresher - than Vogue.

Can’t wait to also get Harpers Bazaar’s Greatest Hits book, just came out, Glenda was at Coach in NYC signing. Alas, I’m here, not there. Another punch in the fashion gut.  Regardless, I’ll order my book this week, more to come on that!
