Make Note: I am Pointing Out that the color for this Fall is Green.
Gorgeous, glorious, grand green.
I have heard many clients tell me that they simply cannot wear green. I've heard it all:"it makes me look ill" "it makes the shadows under my eyes darker".
Please put aside your doubts this year, and venture into a forest of options.
There will be a shade that suits your skin whether you dabble in deep emerald, layer in lime, or outfit in olivine.
Material (girl)?
I grew up with Madonna...or at least I grew up.
So I must put in my review of her new "Material Girl" clothing line for Macy's.
Disappointing.
Why is the supposed "marketing genius" going after the same (tween) audience as every other major marketer? What happened to innovation? Re-inventing herself? Listen, I know she hasn't exactly been embracing her age, or even doing anything especially innovative for about ten years, but apparently my youth created expectations that still demand to be met.
Worse, she seems to be gladly squeezing every last dollar out of every phase of her daughters youth, ( remember the children's books?). Maybe I'm being too harsh, maybe it's just a bad habit.Like hand washing.
Although it has been years since I worshipped at the material-altar, (or even paid much attention to her for that matter), there is always that six year old inside of me who cringes a little when her latest output fails to flatter.
One reviewer of "Material Girl" pointed out, that although Madge is technically in the Chico's age bracket, she chose to design a line for babes her daughter's age; and I thought to myself, now that would have been innovative, to see what a talented design team, ( and the oodles of money you know they had backing them) could have cooked up for the "Material Girl", age 51.
Pre-Pre-Sale Prizes
Shopped the Nordstrom pre-pre-sale yesterday-and thoroughly enjoyed! This year they offered exclusive access to pre-sale items during early morning hours before the selling floor opened to the public--and I loved it!
No crowds, no other shoppers hovering near the goods, or demanding the same size item you want, and best of all: being let in when the store was still dark fulfilled my locked-in-the-store-shopping-extravaganza fantasy.
