Go There Do That: NYC Lord & Taylor "Love At First Sight" Shopping Event, Thursday, April 23

You FORGOT there was a Lord & Taylor in NYC, didn't you? I usually forget. Usually I think of Lord & Taylor as a musty, moldy old batcave, but it looks like they're stepping up their game and joining the new millennium with boutiquey brands like Robert Rodriguez, Plenty by Tracy Reese, Tibi, Trina Turk, Anna Sui, Cynthia Steffe, ABS, Rich & Skinny, Laila, La Rok, Yoanna Barashi, and more.

See for yourself this Thursday, April 23rd, at Lord & Taylor's Lord & Taylor's Love At First Sight shopping event frm 6 -8. DJs, complimentary spa services from Oasis Day Spa (turn down a free spa service, and I don't even wanna know you), gifts and things, etc. Go check it out, and see if L&T has steppethed up their game, 'kay? And report back, 'kay?

Rich & Skinny Boutique Goin' Down At Rue La La RIGHT NOW!

($142, Rich & Skinny, Nordstrom)

Guise! Despite the fact that I'm not technically skinny and CERTAINLY not rich, I absolutely LOVE Rich & Skinny jeans, which were designed by some of the former brainchildren behind Seven for All Mankind, Citizens of Humanity, and Joie. They're super slimming, give me extra length (which I DESPERATELY need), they're slightly stretchy without venturing into Mom territory, and really sleek and COMFORTABLE! They kind of remind me of William Rast but FAR more wearable.

I've got Rich & Skinny's Sleek Straight Leg Stretch jeans, which are not SO cheap (but they don't break the $200 mark), BUT, HIIIIIIIIIIIII you can get them for like $79 at RueLaLa RIGHT NOW! So go go GO! If you need an invite, hit me up in the comments, 'kay?

... And check out the Rich & Skinny selection at SmartBargains -- lots of high-waisted flares, if that's your thing. And, watch the fun Flash models at RichAndSkinnyJeans.com. They walk around and stuff! Hee.
