Window Snapshots Up Madison Avenue…

Monday, January 10th, 2011

I hope you all had a great weekend and were able to enjoy a little R & R! I feel like Mondays are always hard, especially in the winter months. It is particularly hard to get back to reality and work after having the weekend off to spend with your friends and family. Hopefully you all enjoyed a night out at your favorite restaurant, had a few cocktails at your local watering hole or just did whatever you felt like doing with your free time!

Nancy and I made some time to do a little work, shopped the shows for some new digs for Covet Shop (more on that at a later date) and enjoyed some QT together. It is so cold in New York City right now that there has to be something really special going on or something fabulous to attend to get myself and most of my friends out of our apartments!! Tonight in Manhattan it is 30 degrees, but according to weather.com it feels like 23 and the forecast is showing more snow on the way!

However, there is nothing like New York City in the winter.  The city still comes to life and is simply enchanting in the winter months, even if it is cold. Most of the holiday decorations have been left up and there is still that sense on any given day or night, anything is possible…

Everyday, I make it a point to walk home from work, up Madison Avenue, specifically to check out the magnificent window displays. Many shops are switching over their windows from the their holiday displays as we speak. I know that while it can be sad that the holidays are over, fresh windows full of new baubles, shoes, bags and clothes give the fashion addicted, like myself, something new and fabulous to Covet…

I took a few snaps to share with you some of the new and fun windows I spotted tonight as I walked up Manhattan’s storied Madison Avenue. Hope you enjoy them as much as I did!

‘Tis the Season…to Stretch your Holiday Style Budget

Monday, December 14th, 2009

Shopping for Christmas or any other December event? You’re running out of time…and if you’re also low on cash, Covet Shop is offering free shipping on orders over $300. Here, we’ve selected some fabulous items — many of which have been further reduced from Covet Shop everyday great prices.

Bags, bags, bags. Here’s a tip for you Wise Men out there stumped for gift ideas: I can’t think of any woman who wouldn’t love to receive a hot new handbag, no matter the occasion. That you saved a bundle on it can be our little secret.

Somehow, these reminded me of Gold, Frankincense and Myrrh. From top: Cartier La Dona Satchel; Marc Jacobs Stam bag (reduced to $475); Balenciaga Cherche Midi clutch (reduced to $495)

A gift…for you. Sometimes holiday entertaining makes us just want to escape south to Florida or the islands. For such pursuits, you deserve a new dress and sunglasses after all that cooking and baking.

From left: Milly Truffle dress (reduced to $110) and Gucci Buckle glasses; Cavalli Leopard Sheath dress and Tom Ford Samantha sunglasses;DVF Lura dress (only $62!) and Marc Jacobs Gold Bar shades
