Hop Down to the (Pop.Up)

Tuesday, November 17th, 2009

I had the chance to (finally) stop over to the Covet (Pop.Up) Shop yesterday to say hi to Nancy and check out the latest merch in person. That being said, it was the perfect weekend jaunt tobreak up your Saturday errands, or as a leisurely extension of your Sunday brunch lounging. Plus, you get the chance to a) actually try on/see/touch/feel what’s online; and b) get a sneak peek of some items that haven’t yet made it onto the site.

Not to mention, I walked away with two amazing fall scores, both seen below if you scroll down: The Love Moschino blazer (killer details) and plum Thread Social dress (hangs really well, both belted or no, fantastic color).

For those who love to troll the fleas, the Bowery Bazaar is small—thus easier to navigate than some of the city’s multiple flea-bazaar-outdoor-market-craft fair things cropping up (mostly downtown and in Brooklyn). This one’s still new, and will probably grow into its own, but worth a look…especially for jewelry-hunters. Spotted yesterday was a vendor selling necklaces and bracelets made with tiny GI Joe guns and recycled shotgun shells collected from shooting ranges, just right for paying a stylish tribute to veterans or your favorite serviceman/woman.

Chanel’s Num?o De Porte-Bonheur: Five

Tuesday, September 29th, 2009

Lots of fashion and beauty chatter about Chanel this week, so we ‘d like to pay homage to her lucky number, five, with our Top 5 buzzworthy Chanel tidbits:

1. Coco Before Chanel, starring Audrey Tautou. The film, directed by Anne Fontaine, has received mixed reviews thus far: Panned by the NY Post as celebrating a glum heroine and her success via luck and prostitution; and picked apart by the New Yorker, in part, because gamine du jour Tautou can’t shake Am?ieand isn’t sour enough. However, we are looking forward to seeing it so stay tuned for our thoughts (after we have a chance to check it out this week).

2. Chanel at Covet Shop, of course. Pay homage to Chanel with these late summer/vacation or fall ensembles. Visit covetshop.com for more Chanel items!

3. The gorgeous new Chanel N?5 ad/film. Have you seen it yet? Perhaps I’m lacking Tautou’s haunting eyes, fabulous hair, and sensual insouciance, but all the lads I met on trains while living in Europe for two years didn’t quite measure up. Then again, I wasn’t wearing Chanel N?5 at the time, so guess all it makes sense.

4. Chanel Nail Colour. Remember the absolute mania Chanel caused for black nails thanks to Vamp (in the ’90s) or Black Satin (more recently)? Not sure anything can quite reach those epic levels of nail frenzy, but based on the online coverage for this limited edition Jade…let’s wait and see.

5. Chanel Iman. OK, this one’s not about the House of Chanel—but we happened on a Style.com blog post from the fall 2009 shows stating that Chanel Iman, like Covet Shop fans, loves a good designer deal. The model was reported as saying her favorite pastime, while in Milan, is shopping for discounts.
