HERMES SAMPLE SALE

My calendar is packed with social shopping agendas and in comes another, mother of all sample sales, Hermes. This sale will include lots of ties, scarves, shoes, RTW, accessories and much more. However, do not expect to find any Kelly or Birkin bags as they were none earlier this year and most likely won't be on sale this time around. Either way, this sale is indeed very exciting and not to be missed.

When: Sept. 22 - Sept 25th

FEAST YOUR EYES

As the hurricane approaches and tri-state governors have declared the "State of Emergency", most of us will be stuck at home and stocking up on food essentials. While our shopping plans for this weekend are tarnished, we can spend our day making and baking some food. My favorite website to look and search for recipes is FoodGawker.com

These are the few recipes I love:

Thai Chicken Bites

Cookies and Cream Cheesecake Cupcake - Mmm!

KARL LAGERFELD FOR MACYS IMPULSE COLLECTION

In the hype of all the coming sales, we must not forget Macy's much-hyped collaboration with Karl Lagerfeld is set to appear this fall, August 31st. The collection will be reminiscent of Lagerfeld's work and design philosophy and it will be sold in almost 235 Macy's stores and Online. It would include beautiful airy tops, dresses, and his signature-high collared necks. As Lagerfeld said in the Macy's Press conference back in July:

To me Macy's is the perfect department store in the United States where everybody can find what they're looking for without ruining their budget," said Karl Lagerfeld. "That's why I am happy to make this limited collection just for Macy's.

We are also happy you made this collection Karl, because not everyone can afford your high-end designs. Also as I see it, the collection has a very sophisticated yet rock n' roll feel with pieces that can be worn to work and on daily basis. Some of my favorite pieces are as follow:

GOLD FIND - KATE SPADE ARMADILLO BELT

Bedecked with this pair of kissing armadillos belt from Kate Spade. Its in gold and very chic! It can be worn with a shirt or a dress and something you will keep in your closet for a long time. Love it!

Orig: $125 -- Sale: $87.00
