Sabon is taking over Soho (no literally they are). Last night we celebrated the opening of their new store at 532 Broadway (at Spring), their 3rd location in the neighborhood.
If you’re walking by, stop in and check it out! And don’t forget to wash your hands! They have those great, large rustic sinks where you can sample their products. I recommend indulging in their body scrubs, you’re hands
Last night, I attended a special preview of A|X Armani Exchange Spring 2011 collection at Milk Studios. The theme for the line is ‘Travelista’ merging together fashion and travel. The collection was built around sophisticated utilitarian style, modern influence of season-less dressing, flexibility and the functional luxury of streamlined urban-chic.
The navy number below really caught my eye! And I love how it’s accessorized with a red purse.
Here are some of my other favorites
Having recently gone through a breakup and all the joys of basically living with someone for the past 3 years, you realize it’s the little things you miss the most. For instance, having someone help put on your jewelry. It may sound silly, but I completely took that comfort for granted. While I’m pretty solid with putting on my own necklaces (unless they are really tight), I have a lot of difficulty with bracelets.
Recently, I discovered Hercules Magnetic Jewelry Clasp. It’s actually really cool, it clasps to any regular lobster clasp at either end transforming your clasp into a magnetic one; making it very easy to open and close. I know that sounds
I consider myself a Beatles fan; correction, I am a Beatles fan. Growing up, it was a musical compromise between my parents and myself and would often be played in my house. I remember going to my friend’s 9th Beatles-themed birthday, and being envious I didn’t think of that first –although I didn’t know nearly as many of the words or songs that she did so only fair. That and everyone really got into dancing around to Yellow Submarine, which always made me feel like a traitor –I confess, I do not like that song.
One of the many perks of having a friend that works in television is seeing his name show up on my caller ID and upon picking up, hearing ‘Lar- what are you doing at tonight at 7pm, I have an extra ticket to…’. That’s generally the part where I say I’m free and then try to weasel out of an event. In the case of an extra ticket to ‘Rain: A Tribute to The Beatles On Broadway’, I have to say I was pretty excited.
Here’s What to Expect: 3 generations of audience members, with a crowd of embarrassed (but equally enthusiastic) 14yr olds watching their parents let loose, to the single man in his mid-50s watching the show as if he was back in the 60s, using his program to drum along; and inevitably

They say all good things start and end in the Kitchen, and in the case of the new event space Apt. 2E at the Andaz 5th Avenue, I would have to agree. Spacious and welcoming (6,500 square feet), the event circuit is set up around several cooking stations that will make you want to go home and renovate your kitchen. Stationed on the 2nd floor of the Andaz, the elevator opens into the space; and carries the feel of an elaborate penthouse party, inviting guests to mingle (and put their food and drinks down) around the kitchen islands as opposed to secluded tables or worse having to hold everything while trying to network. Nestled in the

Whoever this Zuzana Serbak woman is, she needs to have her designs come to life so I can own her collection. Seriously how cool are her shoes!?!?
Zuzana Serbak is a recent graduate from the Academy of Arts, Architecture and Design in Prague and this is part of her diploma collection. According to her blog, she is currently looking for a job. Someone, please hire her, and email me once you do.
After announcing their partnership with actor and musician Bryan Greenberg (star of HBO’s “How To Make It In America”) at a recent press conference, Casio celebrated the official launch of their new men’s watch line, Edifice Black Label.
The collection is comprised of six styles ranging in price from $150 to $500. Sleek and functional, these water resistant, multifunction metal analog watches are equipped with stopwatch capabilities, LSI-controlled hand movements, world time, daily alarms, solar power and multi-layered dials.
Hosted at the Tourneau TimeMachine store in NYC, I caught up with Bryan Greenberg for a chat about his latest endeavor. Our conversation went
By now most of you New Yorkers have seen the rose adorned advertisements and shopping bags around the city for the announcement of Lord and Taylor’s ‘Ultimate Face-lift’. A $25 million endeavor the company invested in the renovation of the iconic department store’s Fifth Avenue location.
Although I was beyond honored to receive an invitation from Brendan Hoffman to the unveiling of ‘The Ultimate Face-Lift’, I was unable to attend the gala (it was my birthday!). However, I did stop by Lord & Taylor that week for a preview and guided tour of the new Clinique counter. My guides, Clinique’s Anthony Battaglia, Vice President, Global Retail Design and Visual Merchandising and Cherie Werle, Education Executive and Makeup and Skin Care Expert, took me through the new shopping experience they created, based on Clinique’s service as you like it concept.
What does that mean? It literally means service as YOU like it. From self service to full service Clinique’s organized the counter to cater to their clientele’s needs at all levels, through clear, concise messaging and merchandising that it is not intimidating or overwhelming.
For customers looking for a skin care analysis or application tips, they can enjoy a one-on-one experience with a staff member at the Clinique Full Service consultation table. Equipped with a diagnostic mirror (which the consultant can
