Not Heelarious

It is officially the end of the world as we know it.

Have you heard about Heelarious shoes?: "Your little one will look fabulous in these soft crib shoes designed to look like high heels! Each pair of heelarious heels is packaged in a darling purse-shaped gift box, complete with a rhinestone closure. Leopard satin heel with black satin lining for infants size 0-6 months."

What's next? Brazilian bikinis for 2 year olds? "Your toddler will be ready to hit the tropics wearing this mini-ass-floss so that all the boys on the beach can get a glimpse into the one place on the island where the sun don't shine!"

Target Bullseye Bodegas: 4 Days Only, Sept. 12-15


















Since Target proper refuses to open a store in Manhattan (although a store in the Bronx is in the works), they threw us citypeople a bone for the next four days with four limited-time Bullseye Bodegas staged throughout Manhattan where you can shop for chic deals in home, fashion, accessories and beauty from their roster of design partners.

My escort for the night and I frolicked about the bodega, oooing and ahhing at the affordable "wears" from Converse, Sigerson Morrison, Thomas O'Brien, and THE GNOMES!!! BEHOLD THE MIGHTY MIGHTY GNOMES. For just $19.99 you too can live among the gnomes.

Locations:
Midtown: 101 W. 57th Street at 6th Ave.
Union Square: 813 Broadway between 11th and 12th Sts.
SoHo: 489 Broome Street between Wooster and West Broadway
West Broadway East Village: 325 Bowery at 2nd St.

Housing Works on 23rd St. Has Good Jeans

Hi girls - I spied lots of goodness at Housing Works 23rd St. today - 2 pairs of Paper Denim & Cloth Jeans and 1 pair of Marc Jacobs pinstriped jeans - all about size 6 for $30-$35 a pair - and in grand condition. I would run over there now and wait until they open in the a.m. to make a score of epic proportions.

custo barcelona shirt at auction




In the spirit of the paternal grandfather I never met, I thought I'd try my own auction for anyone interested in this worn, but in fine condition, Custo Barcelona top.

If you are not familiar with Custo, it's a Spanish company that creates clothing akin to wearable pop art. I bought several pieces at the now closed Aaron's in Brooklyn and am now ready to pass this one shirt on to an eager taker.
I have to say that the sizing is a bit on the small side for us giant Americans, and one of the reasons I've decided to part with this top is that it is frankly too short on me. But for those of you who are Custo collectors, or 5' 5" or shorter, this may be the item for you!
Just public comment or send me a private email (schoolied@gmail.com) with your "bid" and I shall award the highest figure!
