Built By Wendy

Every time I drive down West 3rd Street I mourn the loss of The Built By Wendy store. Her cool vintage inspired shop closed a year ago and I just love her girly eclectic style. I can still look at her things online, and maybe visit her remaining shops in New York and Brooklyn, but I miss the proximity of it. Online shopping is just the first step to my shopping process. I like to feel the texture, see the colors, and see just how the piece of clothing looks on ME, and not just the cute skinny models photographed. Sigh....until my next trip to NY I will have to continue to look at dresses like this cutie on online...

Levi's + Shepard Fairey

Levi's is hopping on the collaboration bus. Right on. I am a Levi's fan..and I am always interested in projects that Shepard Fairey is involved in, even though most of the time it just feels like more of the same....but is more of the same bad?

The big "?" question mark for me, are these only available for men? The 8 items listed on the Levi's site appear to be more for men, but I could probably get a man's jean jacket, right? It looks so comfy!

Just What Every Man Wants To See You In

Yeah - cause this what your jock boyfriend/partner/lover/husband wants to see you in at night...Nothing says sexy like a nun-like pajama decorated with footballs.

The New Snuggie?

Infinity Scarf

I read somewhere that The Limited opened a pop up shop in New York. I thought, hm...The Limited? Do they have anything worthwhile? So, I took a look....and the only thing I could find on the site was the infinity scarf. With the amount of colors they come in, $39.95 is a steal...but please don't attempt the shrug look. Ayyyy yahy yahhhhhy.

Jimmy Choo - H&M

Arriving at H&M on November 14, are Jimmy Choos shoes. Let's see, the shoes will probably be made cheaply, flimsy materials, sloppier production and they will be thrown around the store like they are worth 5 dollars with a plastic band holding them together. For $299 for boots, and $129 for clutches and shoes, I would rather wait for the end of season sale at Neiman's or Barneys. At least I know I am getting the shoes the way they should be made...and with less tramp sprinkled on them. Ouch. Did I just say that? Yes.

The Limelight - From Clubbing To Shopping

First they turned The Palladium into a NYU dorm, then CBGB into a upscale clothing store, and soon The Limelight will be a shopping mall. Really.

Maybe it is the religious rights groups that might be more surprised, since the building was once a Episcopal Church of the Holy Communion built in the mid-1800's.

I used to go clubbing at The Limelight and remember when there was a murder affiliated with party promoter Michael Alig....Did you see the movie "Party Monster"?

Located on West 20th and Sixth Avenue, tenants are beginning to sign on, including future first-floor residents Caswell Massey; Sabon; BR Cohn, wine and olive oil; Hunter Boots; It’s Sugar; J. Sisters Brazilian bikini waxing; Little Miss Matched; Tantra; Mari’s Brownies; Cupcake Stop; 92nd Street Eyewear, and Carter & Cavero, olive oil from Spain. The second floor will house the sneaker gallery, Maison 24 home decor, and jewelry.

Don't worry, if you missed out on the club days there, there will be a whole shop with Limelight branded t-shirts, teddy bears and hand bags. (gag).
