Fab Fete: Henri Bendel Store Opening at the Walt Whitman Mall

I wandered into the Henri Bendel store opening launch party last Friday at the end of my work day and found myself jam-packed shoulder-to-shoulder with other local fashionistas searching for their free drinks amongst all the accessories.

I’m a huge fan of the Bendel look.  I love the brown and white stripes and polka dots and I’m completely in love with their fashion illustrations which I wrote about here. So I about died when I saw that Bendel’s famed illustrator, Izak Zenou was there.  I think I actually jumped up and down.  He has no idea how I have collected his images through the web, how I had saved about 50 of them to my hard drive and how his images make me so happy.  So when I had heard that there was a chance to buy one of his images and have him personally sign one, I forgot all past intentions to save money and quit shopping (for at least the rest of the month) and found the offer too irresistible to squeal anything but a thrilled ‘yes!”

I hope to share an interview with the master artist with you all very soon!

Here’s what I took home (a photo booth booklet, complimentary shopping bag and signed print by Izak).

Comment here if you want my 20% off Bendel card!  I’ll choose a winner the last day of this month!

Fab Finds – Madeleine Vieira handbags

I admit.  I’m a girly girl.  And like any girly girl, I’m unabashedly attracted to shine, sparkle and bling.  That’s why Madeleine Vieira’s evening clutches caught my eye.  They’re nothing if not shiny, sparkly, and full of bling!

The “Swarovski elements” detailing is all by hand and therefore, the glam clutches are all that much more exquisite.  Take a look, ladies!  Are these fab finds, or what?

I see these as the perfect clutch for a blingy bride.  For the bride, wouldn’t the tiara one be great for a pink-themed wedding? And can’t you see a bride-to-be carrying the ring clutch for her engagement party?  Or wouldn’t it be great if a dream man were to insert a diamond jewelry piece into the diamond clutch, using the clutch as a jewelry box?

For the glam girl, well, any special occasion will do.  The Madeleine Vieira clutches are sure to be conversation starters and the envy of all.
