Score! Swap at 3rd Ward November 21st

My friend sent this link from TheGirlieGirlAmy.

Too lazy to deal with the mess that a home clothing swap usually results in? If you are in the New York Area, hit up the Score! pop-up swap on Saturday, November 21st 2009. Hosted by Bust, Flavorpill, & MeanRed supported by Girlie Girl Army,L Magazine, Hearty Magazine, and Yelp.com.

Bring your old Blondie records, impulse sample sale buys, your ex’s distortion pedal, Jane Fonda workout videos, etc…and score some new treasures over at 3rd Ward in Brooklyn at a massive free exchange! Find a holiday gift for your mom, a smashing scarf for your friend, and a Queen Latifah cassette tape for your own personal collection. It’s like a brilliant, entirely eco (cuz there is nothing GREENER than swapping!) department store where everything is free ninety nine! Style experts from Nylon Magazine, librarians from the Desk Set, and party people from Showpaper will be on hand to help you find the good stuff. A chance to glam up your wardrobe AND an excuse to clean our your apartment? Brilliant! Event proceeds go to food rescue organization City Harvest and all left-over items are collected by Rock and Wrap It Up.

Hot Fashion

I stopped by La Palapa for tamales and a margarita and I see this girl wearing this lovely green wool mini dress with the back out.  I recognize the dress from a Page Six Magazine spread with Gossip Girl’s Jessica Szohr.  Sure enough, I asked the girl if it was the same dress designed by Chris Benz and she said yes.  I learned two things tonight: fashion is everywhere and it sucks to type when your thumb has a hangnail.

At Hugo Boss

There’s a nice jazz trio, the Brian Newman Jazz Trio. Very classy.

At Betsey Johnson

Girls are getting their hair flat-ironed.

Fashion Week Is Here

Tonight, I started the Fashion Week parties by stopping by Fashion 2.0 and Ideeli event at the W Tuscany. I spotted Nichelle Gainer and Nichelle Pace as well as stylist to the stars Philip Bloch. It was great seeing Brooke Moreland of Fashism and Vera Sweeney of I’m Not Obsessed.
