10/22: Lancome Unveils Genes Day to Support St. Jude Hospital

Lancome declares October 22nd Genes Day –who knew you could do that? Then again it’s for a great cause, so we endorse it! The day will serve as fundraiser in support of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, with the luxury brand pledging to donate a minimum of $100,000.  Go Lancome!

How are they doing it? With your help! Last year Lancome launched Genifique Youth Activating Concentrate, which I have yet to try but have heard good things. In honor of their claim that the product delivers results in seven days, Lancome is donating $7 from the sale of every bottle to St. Jude on October 22nd.

For anyone who wishes to try the product prior to purchasing, visit a Lancome counter on the 22nd for a complimentary deluxe seven-day sample (no purchase necessary).

With all these 7’s running around, I wonder why

Gilt Groupe Wedding Shop – Starts Today!

Calling all brides! Today at noon Gilt Groupe is launching a wedding sale. Unlike their regular 1-day sales, this event will last until midnight on Sunday, 10/24 with a different theme everyday.  If you’re planning a wedding, or even in one (that’s me! proud bridesmaid to be), you’re probably well aware of all the expenses associated with both and that it’s hard to skimp for your big day.  So at up to 60% off, Gilt has you covered.

As a side note: all you guests attending the wedding, check out the Michael Aram selection on the last day of the sale (10/24). I’m so fond of his work and aesthetic. In my opinion, his pieces truly make the perfect wedding present.

Here’s the official schedule:

Day One: For the Bride and Groom

Key brands include: Alberta Ferretti, Vera Wang Collection

Boston’s MFA features Avedon and Scaasi

Dovima with Elephants

Fresh off the plane from San Francisco, I had an eventful week in Boston between the Catwalk for a Cure breast cancer awareness event and Natural Products Expo East trade show featuring keynote speaker Alicia Silverstone (I’ll post more on both experiences shortly). For now, as a museum and fashion enthusiast I want to talk about two great exhibits currently being showcased at the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston: Avedon Fashion 1944-2000 (on display from Aug 10, 2010 – Jan 17, 2011) and Scaasi: American Couturier (on display from September 25 2010 – Jun 19, 2011).

Photographs by Richard Avedon

Avedon Fashion 1944-2000 – I first saw this exhibit last year, when it was on display at the ICP in NY. It doesn’t get old with time. Richard Avendon’s work is both iconic as you walk the decades of his peices and breath taking in his muses, the scenery and of course the fashion in his photography.  Don’t miss this opportunity to see Dovima with Elephants, amongst so many more classics.

By Arnold Scassi

Scassi: American Couturier – I wasn’t so familiar with Arnold Scassi’s designs when I walked into the exhibit. However, with all of his prestige over so
