Thanks to Degree, in light of their new Red Satin product, I got to throw my own SAG Awards party. When they told me they wanted to throw a party for my friends and me, they probably didn’t expect most of my guest list would be other bloggers.

Given my NYC apartment can’t accomodate more than a couple of people, I had to hunt for the right spot to host it. Luckily, I had already been in touch with the Roger Smith Hotel thanks to mutual friends. They GENEROUSLY gave me a really sweet deal on the penthouse for my entire party. It was the perfect place and one of my favorite memories in NYC so far.

So who came?

It’s funny how a change in environment can make you do things you never thought you would…wear Uggs with work outfits on a regular basis while allowing dust to build up on your favorite pumps, consolidate handbag contents into laptop bag, forego $300-plus hair treatments for $10 at-home-from-a-box treatments…GASP!

After a long week, I decided to spend my Friday evening window shopping online and I’ve managed to entertain myself for at least three hours. I love the limitless possibilities that come with browsing different shops all over the world and occassionally I come across things like this mammoth claw cuff by Black Sheep & Prodigal Sons…things that make me lift a brow and scrunch my nose. I thought I’d try something new and share this confused moment with you to see what you think upon first seeing it.

So…what do you think? Is it cool, nasty, artistic, creepy or something else? Would you wear it? What if I told you it was made from fossils Read the rest of this entry »

For the 16th Annual Screen Actor’s Guild Awards this Saturday, Degree is doing a lot of fun red carpet activities in light of their new Red Satin deoderant launch. To start, they’ve partnered with Mad Men’s Christina Hendricks (aka Joan, the sassy red head) and we get to vote on which dress she wears at DegreeRedDress.com. After the awards show, the dress will be auctioned off where proceeds will be donated to Clothes Off Our Back. On top of that, they sent me a package full of goodies to throw my own SAG Awards viewing party with a few friends (including some of my fav fashion bloggers) in NYC. More on that in a sec.

The dresses we get to choose from are all red and range from a Classic Romantic to Grecian Goddess and finally, Stunning Strapless. Given Christina is known for her seductive curves, my pick is Read the rest of this entry »

Anyone excited for Project Runway to return tonight? I am so I wanted to do something special in light of the premiere. Bluefly Merchandising Manager and Project Runway liaison Mindy Dorf (also known as “Double 0 Dorf”…guessing she’s teeny?), heads up the ever famous Bluefly wall of accessories on the show (what a fab partnership). She was sweet enough to answer a couple of questions from yours truly.

C22: What are your favorite dual purpose accessories, i.e. a belt that can also be worn as a bracelet or a necklace that can also be repositioned as a belt? Read the rest of this entry »
