SHOPPING - ANZEVINO and FLORENCE

Last night was the opening party for Anzevino and Florence's new store on 3rd street. A + F + Posso the DJ + Aaron Castle + Taco Truck + Open Bar = Good Time. Well, Open Bar always tips the scales, but the new place looks great - AND SO DO THE CLOTHES! I can't wait to spend $$$$ there! What a way to spend a cold LA night, seeing old friends and toasting new ones. Congrats, guys!

GRAND OPENING

Last night was marked by the opening of Derek Lam's new SAANA designed boutique in SoHo. It is the first for the designer, and I must say it looked faboo!  Shiny * Flash * Pop * Drink * Sparkle * Fizz! DMurder, Thanks for the heads up. You are a darling. I really need to get to NYC more often! I can't wait to check out the store in the light of day. Sigh, escapism is always a good thing, and a good store can really do the job well...

SHOPPING - MACY*S

PHILADELPHIA CENTER CITY

If you find yourself needing to go into a department store...and, lets face it, we all do from time to time, I suggest making the experience more pleasant by hitting the Macy*s in Philly on Market.  Not only is it a gorgeous space, but right now they are holding the Macy*s Philadelphia Flower Show.  The entire place is insane with flowers, plants, and an organ player...that takes requests if you shout loud enough. You haven't heard "Poker Face" until you have heard it on the Macy*s Pipe organ...

    

...and who wouldn't want to buy skivvies with two enourmous pink carnation flamingos watching you...shopping can't get any gayer...  

SHOPPING - SPACE 15 TWENTY

SO LA

This past weekend was marked by the launch party for Kim Gordon's (Sonic Youth) Mirror/Dash line for Urban Outfitters at their hot LA project Space 15 Twenty.  The Entrance Band played, Kim showed off her brand new King Charles Cavalier puppy, Hipster-Tripty kids looked good.  If you find yourself near Cahuenga and Hollywood, you should def. check out the line and the space.  The whole team over there has made the place so RAD.  If you need some help shopping, ask for the DM.  She is a total fox.

SHOPPING - WILBUR VINTAGE

If you find yourself in Philadelphia, head to Queens Village and hit up this amazing vintage/consignment shop.  The owner Dan has the best eye when it comes to collecting the most outrageous goodies.  Every time I walk into this place I find new things I have to get.  Below is a sampling a few of my latest acquisitions.  Don't be jealous,  go to Wilbur and get some for yourself!  There may still be this amazing YSL vintage 80's sweater that I totally should have gotten but was too stupid at the time to pick up there...
