Sorry guys, I was on vacation in a pink hotel.  But I am back and will provide photos and insights soon!

A $10,800 Diamond Headband for Your Wedding?

Perhaps Nancy should change her last name from Brenner to Kleinfeld?...
Get me a crash cart. My pulse is racing from these "steals" at Gilt.com's wedding blowout where they're selling gowns and accessories at prices for princesses, or maybe Snooki (but it may mess up her bump or pouf). It's a bargain reduced from $24,000.

If you're in New York, head to The Bridal Garden You don't go to there for the white-glove service, but for quality gowns and prices for real people - the sample rack for $400 and less Or, for bigger budgets, my friend plucked out a designer Rina di Montella reduced by 50 percent and then an additional 20 percent off for at total of only $1,750.

If you want a real fitting room, and racks crammed with selections, make an appointment and walk out with a dream dress.

Fishoes...by Red Bull

This "fishoe" is one reason I am happy I live in New York, and not in Miami.  It was one of many stellar creations featured at the "Red Bull Art of Can" show going on now in South Beach that my friends got to witness.  I guess everything there was made out of Red Bull cans.  I mean, it's kind of entertaining, but it also totally figures.

Best Buffed Men in NY...

...spend nooners at the Leather Spa where their bespoke shoes are polished to perfection.

This shop is is lined with tell-tale red soled Louboutins and exudes eau de exotic leather. A woman with a mink caplet and matching headband dropped off her boots for full treatment. My six-year + Barneys warehouse sale Prada boots looked like they would be in good hands. I also left a leather lambskin lasercut cut skirt with a rip (don't even ask how that happened). The results: the boots look like they never touched a sidewalk and the skirt - well if you can see where the original tear was - you are standing way too close to me.

If Dorothy's ruby reds needed a spit shine, she'd head to The Leather Spa. Expect to pay more than your neighborhood taps and heels guy, but this is the place if you need a little leather Botox, 10 West 55th St.

The Dress to Match Yesterday's Heinous Shoes?

This is one of those times when a picture indeed speaks 1,000 words.  As my friend who first came upon this asked, "Body Glove, anyone?"

The Ugliest Shoe Ever...By Christian Louboutin

I just got an email from Saks announcing the new Spring arrivals from Christian Louboutin, and this was the pictured shoe.  I realize that it's easy to make fun of white shoes, but COME ON.  These are hideous in ANY color, but particularly white.  I think I just got kicked off the demo chart.

Mad for a Maxi?

Try the Mermaid with an exposed pinched zipper that will display your assets. The freshman contemporary cool line called 2 Rych b stands out from a sea of maxis for its first Fall 2010 debut at the at Coterie
last week.

For snow days or play dates, this wool/cashmere is a scorcher. You may need to dig into your Spanx for this mermaid - or buy a new Skinny britches pair to go with.  Other picks: a standout snuggly sweater in wine for next winter.
