There was a big event in NYC to launch and tease the soon to be released Alexander Wang for H&M Collection.

The collection will be available in stores starting November 6th 2014. It is a little too ‘sporty’ for me (as in too sweatpant like) and very similar to the Clara D for DKNY collection…but I like the leather-like backpack on the male models.

Philly Style: Century 21, Norstrom Rack, Forever 21 and Maybe NM Last Call?

Published on October 15, 2014 by eBelandiLeave a comment

For the past week, I have stared at the screen on the elevator leading to my office desk with its countdown for the opening of a Nordstrom Rack store on the block of 17th and Chestnut on Friday 24th October 2014 at 9.00AM (oh please). Great fanfare as this article can testify. Well, today, we got even bigger news…Century 21, NYC’s best kept secret (so they say), is planning to open its first out of town (outside of NY that is) store here in Philly on Thursday 23rd October 2014 (no time? How outrageous! 😛 ) Interesting coincidence, or not, we shall see. Either way, my pockets are still recovering so I shall try not to get too close. The original article from Philly.com where the author is serenading us into shopping and shopping well to keep the great items coming 🙂 if only she could keep my pockets full as well.

In other news, and budget friendly announcements for some, rumor has it that Forever 21 is also about to take on the Center City fever…along with Neiman Marcus Last Call…Not sure what is attracting all these popular stores into Center City but we shall find out soon enough. Are you excited? Please share!

Style Watch: Roland Mouret at Banana Republic

I was looking forward to the Roland Mouret line for Banana Republic…well I received an invitation this morning to check it out and…the items I coveted are not available in my size anymore! Amazing 😦 😦 Oh well, maybe there will be some when the collection hits the stores. I was looking forward to the colorblock one-shoulder dress and the colorblock long sleeved dress. The black mesh with knee length is also cute!
