Tonight (April 15-April 16th), April 18th and April 25th are marked on my calendar as Targe’t! And for good reasons.
April 15th is the 24hr. shopping party starting at 11pm in NYC at 481 8th ave and 34th st. (Don’t you love NY?) I figure since my blog (just started at the end of Feb) made the over 1000 visitors mark at the start of this week that I deserve to shop and party (but who really needs an excuse for this, right?)
They’re celebrating and launching the new Zac Posen line (which is not available in stores until April 25th, another date stored on my fashion calendar.) I can’t decide whether to check out the mayhem on opening night and risk getting stampeded on by some raging Zac-crazed fashionistas or whether to go the next day during work hours where I’ll avoid the mad rush but lose out on the excitement. Good thing is that they are promising surprises every hour and performances by The Like and DJs Kid America, The Other Will and Luisiul. I’ll post pictures after the event for you all!
April 18th is the much-awaited Eugenia Kim hat launch. NJ Target, here I come! I already own 2 Eugenia Kim hats -one is shown below and the other is an outrageously large navy hat once used for a Vogue editorial (see below). It’s so large I’ve only been able to wear it to a Hamptons polo match and to the Hamptons beach for full coverage from the sun. Otherwise, wearing it feels totally obnoxious (albeit fashion-forward). I bought both at a sample sale and look forward to adding another to the collection.
red, swingy mini-dress – Maggy M $26 from TJ MAXX, hat – Eugenia Kim sample sale $150, purse – Guess, heels – Fergie
A coveted insider’s look into the glamourous, “Devil Wears Prada” (Vogue) is on auction NOW. If you’re willing to unload some cash for some firsthand fabulosity, you can spend a week in Vogue’s offices! “Tailored to the individual interests and skill set of the auction winner, the week at Vogue” will benefit the RFK Center. “As part of this experience, the winner of this dream package will get to attend a fashion show during New York’s Fashion Week” and receive the following:
- The September Issue DVD
- In Vogue
- Vogue Living: Houses, Gardens, People
- The World in Vogue: People, Parties, Places
- The Teen Vogue Handbook
For many, living and breathing Vogue for 1 week is a fashion fantasy come true. I know it would be for me. According to the online charity site, the next bid is going for $2100 (with increasing bid increments at $250). In my mind, I’ve already calculated that that’s worth a new shiny Chanel purse and with the bidding having just started, it could soon increase to an entirely new Chanel wardrobe! It just started yesterday and goes on through the end of the month. And get this, they say that the package is valued at a whopping $10,000. Let’s see how much fashionistas are willing to spend.
If I were able to pay for this overpriced package, here are the things that would be on my to-do list.
- Follow Anna Wintour around like a lovesick puppy and shamelessly marvel at her fabulousity all day
- Hide Anna’s sunglasses so I could see her real reactions to everything
- Photograph all the fashionistas at Vogue and post here so you could all see what Vogue-ettes really wear each day of the week
- Play dress -up in that famous closet and then beg to borrow/keep things everyday until someone finally gives in
- Taste everything in their famous cafeteria and try to feed the skinny bitches around me
- Attend a photo shoot, help style it, then beg for freebies
- Create a personal photo shoot for Anna and yours truly
Did I miss anything? What would be on YOUR list of to dos?
