Bloomingdale’s is having a big sale this weekend. Select items are up to half off.
There’s still plenty of time this Summer for flip flops, so how about these Diane Von Furstenberg rubber/leather flip flops? They’re usually $65 and now only $32.50, half off!
This Juicy Couture lady lock bag is on its second markdown, so it’s actually way below half price! The original price was $228, first markdown $171, and now it’s only $85.50. What a steal. It’s a great smaller size for evening, or other times when you just want a smaller bag to carry. It is 10.5″ wide by 7″ high.
These Current/Elliott denim leggings with side zippers are down to $138.60 from $231. With trendy items like this it’s good to get them on sale because you don’t know for sure if you’ll want to wear them next year. The side zippers are such a throw back for me… because I had some jeans like that in junior high school!

As I mentioned in a recent post, Gap is doing a really great campaign for their Born to Fit 1969 denim line. They’re featuring a bunch of top models. Well, when I saw the image featuring Isabeli Fontana, the first thing I really thought was, I want that shirt!
It hadn’t been available, but I’ve been checking back and it’s now available online!
It could have simply been made out of cotton, but even better, it is made of a rayon/tencel blend (70/30) so it’s super soft and has excellent drape. It is $34.50 (Sleeveless Cowlneck Top), and is available in white only.
It is also available in a short-sleeved version (Cowlneck T), also $34.50. This one is available in black, white and flint gray (show below).

J. Crew’s August catalog is featuring a gorgeous photo shoot in the Arizona desert and rock canyons. This photo below with the fabulous Minnie pant in wool was photographed in the Antelope Canyon.
They’ve updated the Minnie pant for Fall with a 2-way stretch wool/lycra fabric. They’re $98 and come in 5 colors: cobblestone, henna, black, heathered charcoal and parsley.
Also of note is that they’ve finally done heels over 4″ high! Yay! J. Crew, in the past, has tended to stick with lower heels generally between 3 and 4″, which is just not high enough for some of us heel lovers! Below is the Coddington Suede Platform Pump, $228. It has a 4-1/8″ heel with a 3/4″ platform. They are made in Italy too!

If you feel that your skin is looking dull and needs a pick-me-up, an Oxygen mask is just the thing. Of course you could treat yourself to a spa visit and spend upwards of $100, or you could try one of these products at home.
Bliss Triple Oxygen Instant Engerzing Mask, $52 for 3.4 fl. oz. This Bliss product is designed to be a quick-fix for dull, tired, sallow, ‘I’m sick of my skin’ skin. It was engineered to mimic the effects of Bliss spa’s famous Triple Oxygen Treatment facial (but in seconds). It delivers a oxygen, Vitamin C, anti-free radicals, and moisture to the skin.
Peter Thomas Roth Radiance Oxygenating Masque, $50 for 3.4 fl. oz. This product brightens, hydrates and oxygenates skin cells that may be compromised by environmental factors, to impart a visibly refined appearance and a polished rosy glow. It’s good for all skin types and helps keep your skin soft, smooth and looking years younger.

Target’s first Manhattan store will open this Sunday, July 25! The store is in East Harlem at 116th and the FDR Drive at the East River Plaza (which also houses Costco, Best Buy, Marshalls). This is such great news for New Yorkers. I LOVE Target and usually end up buying stuff that I don’t need when I go there because it’s so cheap and their stuff tends to be well designed and attractive, in every category. They had a party Tuesday night with the Target dog and others in attendance.
I actually do even buy clothes at Target sometimes. I have a black Mossimo dress with an exposed zipper down the back that I got a couple of years ago that has ended up being one of my favorites!
Here’s a cute dress for the warm weather we’ve been having. It’s a crisp 100% cotton stripe in blue and white. Converse One Star Stripe Dress, $29.99.

In anticipation of the upcoming release of the film adaptation of the best-selling book Eat, Pray, Love by Elizabeth Gilbert, Fresh has introduced the Fresh Eat, Pray, Love Collection of 3 fragrances and a candle set.
The first fragrance, Eat, is a sweet, effervescent scent that indulges in Italy’s most addictive desserts and sensual wines. Notes of bright Italian lemon and basil are balanced with creamy textures reminiscent of cannoli and tiramisu topped off with sparkling Prosecco and Limoncello for the ultimate gourmand experience.
Top Notes: Italian lemon, basil, bergamot
Middle Notes: plum, red currant, rose
Bottom Notes: caramel, meringue, vanilla
The second fragrance, Pray, is inspired by India’s serene sunsets, fresh soil, and traces of incense and spices that permeate warm winds, this scent has great impact and ultimately puts you at peace with a comforting blend of jasmine, pink pepper, patchouli, amber, juniper berry, cardamom, and incense.
Top Notes: elemi, pink pepper, juniper berry
Middle Notes: incense, peony, rose
Base Notes: patchouli, amber, musk
The third fragrance, Love, is a fragrance that bottles the bright, colorful, anything-is-possible feelings of falling in love. Scents of passion, like percolating pheromones, sun-caressed skin, and salty kisses, are combined with the lush aromas of Bali’s exotic landscape.
Top Notes: bergamot, red currant, mango blossom
Middle Notes: lisylang, Tiare, dewy jasmine
Base Notes: sandalwood, vetyver, velvet amber
Each fragrance comes in a 1 oz. spray bottle and is $32. The candle set ($45) includes 3 petite candles, one in each fragrance and comes in a nice decorative box.
