I was in Target last night and I noticed they have some new lines. They are doing a “Limited Edition” collection in handbags. They are also doing an in house GO: International Line. I think I read that this will be a filler line in between the designer Go: International lines. It was pretty cute [...]

This isn’t exactly new news but I figured I should share anyway. Topshop has finally found a space for it’s first store in the US. Soho! The address is 478 Broadway. This is right near another import that I love, UNIQLO, which is at 546 Broadway. They’ve been talking about opening a NYC store for [...]

American Apparel has some ideas
The Scooby Gang is cute. I also like the Flashdancer.

I saw in WWD headlines the other day that Burberry is suing Iconics, the maker of London Fog, for infringing on its plaid. Apparently London Fog is introducing new jackets and accessories with this burberryesque plaid.
I went to the Short Hills mall last night and decided to go check these controversial jackets out in Macy’s. [...]

For future reference WTWYT = What the hell were you thinking?
So my pick for this week is the Luichiny Haidee bootie. For a mere $150 you can pick up these fugly boots from zappos. Or instead you can take a black sack, wrap it around your foot and glue some rhinestones on. You’d save [...]

Vanity Fair has a great article on Hermès and it’s history.
From Hermès to Eternity

I *heart* shoes. So a few years ago when zappos.com came on the scene I was in love. I could order shoes and they’d be there the next day! No more finding the perfect shoe but them not having your size.

The thing with zappos is that they charge slightly over [...]
