Wish List: Vol 1 [General]

Last week, my boyfriend began his new job at Saks Fifth Avenue. (Did I neglect to mention that? Well, he now works in Saks Fifth Avenue's Corporate Office in Times Square!) So far, he absolutely LOVES it! And, he's good at it. I'm starting to think that I don't give him enough credit. After all, he has a serious, serious talent for what he does...

Anyways, probably my favorite part of his new job - in addition to his happiness, of course - is his discount!! I don't mean to be super Jewish right now (I AM A JEW, 100%, so I can say that!), but discounts are always nice. That holds true here as well, in a store where shoes cost upwards of thousands of dollars.

So, last Friday when we planned to go to Central Park, but soon realized that the humid Florida weather had followed us to the 'Big Apple', we headed over to 5th Ave. One reason why I absolutely ADORE my boyfriend is because unlike most guys, he loves to shop! In fact, it was his idea to spend the day exploring every floor of the giant Saks flagship. And so, we did.

Once arriving, I was in heaven. And that was only on the first floor- Cosmetics & Fragrances, AKA my future field! We continued up to middle and highest floors, and I realized that Louboutins are far less expensive than I imagined. I also realized that my boyfriend's heavy accent doesn't allow him to hear the difference between 'Louboutin' and 'Louis Vuitton'. SO CUTE!!!

As we finally arrive at the topic of this post, let me mention again that he will have access to thousands of designer pieces at steep discounts, and so, he told me to make a list of what I want [like any good boyfriend should]. So, here's to the first addition of my 'Wish List'!

[This is a short, general list of what first caught my eye, with no particular theme.]

Michael Kors

MICHAEL KORS Lace-Up One Piece Swim Suit ($252)

Louis Vuitton

LOUIS VUITTON Rhodes Open Toe Mule in Nubuck Calf Leather ($1,060)

Christian Louboutin

CHRISTIAN LOUBOUTIN Lavalierre Bow Pumps ($795)

Fendi

FENDI Large Peekaboo Satchel ($2690)

So, what do you guys think?! Like my choices, or totally hate them? And, most importantly, what's on YOUR Wish List?

YSL vs. Louboutin

The Debate Over The Red Sole Finds Its Way To Manhattan Courts



As any true fashionista knows, a red sole can only mean one thing: Louboutin! Ever since 1992, when Christian Louboutin first painted red nail polish on the bottom of one of his shoes, the red sole has become the unspoken trademark of the world’s most beloved heel.

Well, “unspoken” may be the key word here. Earlier this year, Yves Saint Laurent began selling his own version of the shoe, but without proper acknowledgement. YSL reps argue that no acknowledgement is needed, as the red sole is not trademarked.

Louboutin first heard about YSL’s design earlier this year, when YSL began selling his own red soled pumps in Saks Fifth Avenue, Barney’s New York, Bergdorf Goodman, Nordstrom, and Neiman Marcus. Louboutin has repeatedly requested that YSL stop selling the shoe, but it still remains on shelves.

"The location of the bright color on the outsole of a woman's pump is said to provide an alluring 'flash of red' when a woman walks down the street, or on the red carpet of a special event," the 27-page lawsuit says. Hollywood is filled with fans of Louboutin, including the casts of Sex and the City, Desperate Housewives, and Gossip Girl. We’ll just have to wait and see how it all unravels!
