Halo by Shoshana Hair Bands – 2 Days Only!

Beyond the Rack is offering a boutique featuring hair bands by Halo for the next two days, and they’re up to 60% off!

Before you go though, I haven’t been covering BTR’s sales for some time because their shipping is painfully slow and their customer service pretty much, well… sucks.  I still shop there because they sell beautiful, high quality merchandise, but only when I see something I *must* have and I am in the mood to overlook BTR’s shortcomings.  Keep this in mind before you order something!

This private sale designer boutique’s access code is included in the link, all you have to do is sign up for a free membership, courtesy of Style & Angst.

I’m Running Away to Trunk Bay with Steve Vaughn

Beauty!  If I had an inch of wall space left in my house this would be on it. Being a texture lover and overly fond of brushstrokes, rarely do I really love printed murals but this museum quality art print on canvas is so gorgeous and I just so want to be there, that this huge photographic piece by Steve Vaughn definitely falls into my small pool of exceptions.

Anybody have Steve Vaughn’s number by any chance?

60″ by 18″ Trunk Bay mural by Steve Vaughn available at Billion Dollar Babes, usually $300 and available for $149 until midnight Thursday.  This is not your mother’s palm tree poster.

Carolina Herrera Manages “Best Dress” and “Worst Dress” in One Fell Swoop

So, I’m surfing the private sales like I do almost every day (much to my husband’s eternal dismay) and at Gilt I came across this *gorgeous* silk chiffon beaded gown by Carolina Herrera. Or, at least I think it’s a gorgeous gown.

Now, don’t get me wrong, there are always divine things in these private designer sales, but every once in awhile I come across something so stunning that it actually makes me stop and go, “Oooooooooooooo!”  This dress did that for me; however, after I took a glimpse of the closeup pics, I’m not so sure.  Of course, it probably didn’t hurt that my husband, ever the poetic fashion critic,  mentioned that it looked like the model had “some kind of salad hanging from her armpit.”

In the end, I decided that Ms. Herrera, she of some of the most elegant designs in the fashion world, has managed to create a gown that would equally gain “Best Dressed” and “Worst Dressed” comments from those who would be critics. Stunningly beautiful from afar but up close… mebbe not so much.  So you tell me, hit, miss or both?

‘Cause You Can Never Have Too Many…

Five new boutiques have been added to both the “You are Cordially Invited” and “Private Sale Designer Boutique Schedules“  cover stories.  The “You are Cordially Invited” cover story has also been updated with my current thoughts on all the boutiques and my experiences shopping with them.applebottomsjadziacageheel1 Cause You Can Never Have Too Many...

These are the five new boutiques which have been added:

Gilt Fuse:  Gilt Fuse is the edgier side of the Gilt Groupe and runs fashion-forward  boutique sales from such houses as Juicy Couture, Design History and Guess, to name but a few.

Enviius: Enviius is a Canadian-based private sale designer boutique (and yes,  they ship to the U.S.).  They were on my list previously but I removed them when their sales were few and far between.  Lately they’ve been stepping things up again, so they’ve earned their spot back!

The Fairest: This is a relatively new private sale boutique to me, they specialize in skin care and cosmetics.  I can’t wait to try them out!  You need to contact me so I can send you an invitation to join.

reverse: Reverse is a private sale boutique that specializes in trendy designer clothing and accessories.  They’ve been on the “You are Cordially Invited” page all along, but were just added to the “Private Sale Designer Boutique Schedules” cover story.

row|nine:  RowNine is another private sale designer boutique that is very new to me.  They specialize in luxury jewelry, watches, leather goods and accessories, all at 30 – 80% off retail prices.  They also offer luxury concierge services!

Simply click the links above to get your invitation for free access to any of these private sale boutiques, courtesy of Style & Angst.

How She Rolls
Susan Maxwell Schmidt is the internationally-collected jewelry artist behind LongLocks HairSticks. Her designs have appeared in Demetrios Bridal's "For the Bride" magazine and "Upscale Magazine." The LongLocks HairSticks Boutique was Lucky Magazine's top pick for Best Hair Web Site in their May 2009 issue.

Though a native New Yorker, Ms. Schmidt currently resides in the fashion non capitol of the world–East Nottingham, PA–where the Amish are the fashion trendsetters and John Deere green appears in the color forecast every season.

Ms. Schmidt enjoys driving fast, annoying her husband, sleeping late and disturbing the neighbors. She also fancies herself a fashionista, though this is likely nothing more than a rather sad delusion on her part. It’s best just to play along.
