Growing up, my mom always took me on shopping trips to Lord & Taylor for ‘big’ events (school shopping, holiday and party dresses, suits for job hunting, etc.) and as an adult, Lord & Taylor became one of my major go-to shopping staples. So I was thrilled to be invited by Lucky Magazine to a blogger shopping/breakfast at Lord & Taylor to kick off New York Fashion Week. After being treated to coffee and breakfast goodies and gifted with $200 to shop the store before it opened to the public, we met Suze Yalof Schwartz, former Fashion Editor at Glamour and current Fashion Editor...  Read More..

Lucky Magazine challenged a group of its Alpha Shoppers, including me, to create a piece of statement jewelry using materials found at Michaels. As a former jewelry and handbag designer, and all-around crafty person, I was up for the task. The real challenge was limiting myself to creating only one statement piece! With my $50 gift card in hand, I headed out on a shopping trip to Michaels. It took about an hour to browse the entire section of beads. I finally settled on creating a necklace out of a turquoise and gold metal plate, turquoise-colored howlite teardrop-shaped ‘beads’,...  Read More..

Back in November, I was invited by Lucky Magazine to a Sorel-sponsored ‘sips, sweets and shopping’ event at Olive & Bette’s. There I sipped champagne, noshed on mini apple pop tarts direct from a mobile toaster, and had the opportunity to meet with Sorel representatives to preview the styles in their winter line. I’d seen Sorel boots before but never owned a pair, much less tried them on, but I did at the store and they felt like heaven! The boots, made of leather, suede, rubber and faux fur, are some of the most comfortable pieces of footwear I’ve ever placed...  Read More..

It’s become tradition for me every year to attend Lucky Shops. In the past just a few of the items I’ve scored for a steal included Michael Kors shoes, a Devi Kroell Tiffany bag, Hayden Harnett boots, and even a vintage Diane von Furstenburg bag! Of course that’s the allure of Lucky Shops – you never know what you’re going to find but you do know the price is going to be amazing and the same goes for the goods you’ll get! It truly is like shopping right off the pages of Lucky Magazine. If you’re in the New York area from Nov. 4-6, stop by and grab a few goodies...  Read More..

(Pictured left to right: Rebecca Taylor Femme Military Cape and Rebecca Taylor Meow Dress, Timberland Earthkeepers Bethel Buckle Tall Zip Boots (in Bitter Chocolate), and Rebecca Minkoff Nadia Asymmetrical Sweater and J Brand Corduroy Pencil Leg Pants For as long as I can remember, I’ve worn Timberland boots. I first wore them when I went camping and hiking as a Girl Scout. I’ve donned them to and from snowy winter treks to class throughout high school and college. I’ve worn them to work on even more snowy days. They’ve always been the most dependable, element-proof boots...  Read More..

It’s no secret that I’m a shopaholic, bagaholic, shoeaholic, etc. Living in New York is my excuse. I mean there are stores everywhere; you literally cannot escape from shopping! So, to make myself feel better about my shopping/spending addiction, I love to hear about special deals, sample sales, shopping events with a bunch of discounted designer items. I went to Lucky Shops for the first time last year and vowed to return year after year. Why? I got tons of designer stuff at amazing prices.
