te casan...by Natalie Portman

So have you heard about te casan's new(ish) Natalie Portman line? It's a vegan-friendly line that Mizz Portman thinks is imperative because it is difficult to "find designer shoes made of alternative materials. Has she not heard about Stella McCartney? What about MooShoes?

Jeffrey: The Store

So in keeping track of the comings and goings on my blog, I noticed that lots of people landed on my site when searching for "Jeffrey" - the store in the Meatpacking District. Perhaps to their chagrin, they found my entries on Jeffrey Sebelia - the guy who won Project Runway. Alas, I decided I had better go check Jeffrey (the store) out.

So I did.

Way at the west end of 14th St., past Stella McCartney and Alexander McQueen, I met Jeffrey, who turned out to be something of a mini-department store. It reminded me of the stores in Soho, back in the day before Soho became Mall of America.

I tried on a few items that I would probably never have bought, seeing how everything in this place costs about $900 and more. Additionally, while I am currently on the low end of my typical size, apparently I have 25 more pounds and 3 ribs to lose before I can fit into anything in this store.

Nevertheless, the guy who helped me - Charles - was very nice and complementary towards me, a good salesman indeed.

Overall I would say it is worth scoping out for kicks and a New York experience.

I don't usually write much about online shopping, as it is not fully part of the Guerilla Shopping mission. However, one of my fine stringers has done some excellent research, and has given me permission to share the following finds with you, my baby guerillas:
