Fashion’s Night Out New York Gone Wild | September 13, 2010

I attended the first Fashion Night Out last year, and it was definitely busy, and buzzing with curiosity. The celebrities had fun, people shopped a bit, and reporters got the inside scoop. This year the intensity doubled. It seemed more of the public showed up, as if the secret was out.

My first stop was Henri Bendel’s at about 6:15 I arrived with my sister who is a make-up artist, checking out the scene for her own business. It was so crowded, we started on the first floor cosmetics, and realized instantly our credit … Read More »

Watch Wants | September 13, 2010

One thing I have always been on the lookout for is a great watch. There are hundreds available that come in different shapes, colours, and sizes. I was particularly looking for a great gold watch that’s a bit big (almost a mans size) and borders on a bit classic to add to my wardrobe.
