TAYLOR TOMASI PLAYS MUSICAL CHAIRS: HEADS TO MARIE CLAIRE

When I interned at Teen Vogue, I had the great yet brief pleasure of working with Taylor Tomasi. Besides being genuinely nice, and having amazing style, she is super talented. I could really tell she enjoyed her job as Teen Vogue's Accessories Director and is really passionate about fashion - in a fun and non aggressive way. I wish her the best on her new adventure at Marie Claire!!!

WEEKEND READS: FOOD FOR THOUGHT


THE LOEH DOWN: MOSCHINO ALERT!

All the fashionistas are doing it; its the thrill of the chase and the hunt for that bargain driven by designer goods envy. The place to feed this addiction is Loehmann's. 

I have been extremely impressed with Loehmann's business model and its ability to obtain a strong brand equity amongst the fashion elite. Yes, folks this place ain't just for your frugal cousins. Aisles are lined with designer gems and shoppers themselves are equally fashion forward. The uniform of choice; brand name bags, Tory Burch flats, and Chanel sunglasses. 

Loehman's has put more emphasis on its marketing mix with a shift from just areas of price to areas that focus more on product, promotion, and place.

Contemporary floors have been stocked with C&C, Kensie Girl, and Primp, while upstairs better lines and women's ready to wear cover Martin Margiela, Elizebeth and James, Alberta Ferretti , Helmut Lang, and one of my favorites MOSCHINO!

Below are some of the photos I took on my phone showing the variety of Moschino goods up for grabs and at a fraction of the price. An insider informed me that these items would be on the selling floor that Wednesday. There is an amazing selection of military coats with gold buttons on the shoulders from fall 08, signature embellished jackets, delicate blouses, and beautiful winter coats. 






For style enthusiasts, clothes whores, and everyone in between, head to Loehmann's now to stock up for fall, prepare for those soon to be cold winter days in the designer of your choice.

COCO PEREZ

 

Perez Hilton, the most hated man in media could now be the most hated man of fashion? Besides being the queen of all things celebrity dirt, Perez Hilton is now crossing over to the fashion world. Cocoperez.com is slated to serve as a sister site for 20 somethings interested in all things Louboutins and more. But don't expect Mr. Perez to go the friendly route. Just one request please- no drawings on Karl!

The site is currently in test mode but rumor is that it is expected to launch as soon as tomorrow.
