Lucky At Your Service
The ultimate shopping magazine also has the ultimate shopping app. Lucky At Your Service is like having a personal shopper at all times. The app allows you to browse through featured products, buy online or search for a store location with the product nearest to you. The digital concierge will even call the store for you to put the product on hold in the size and color you want for same day pick-up.

The most hardcore way to go for the glitter is with a full-length red carpet ready dress. Elie Saab nailed this in emerald during Fashion Month. We can’t wait to see who wears this on the red carpet.

Let’s see, we have:

- Michael Kors celebrating his three decades at Bergdorf Goodman, along with live performances and their “BG Best in Show,” featuring designers such as Joseph Altuzarra, Reem Acra and Pamella Roland trotting down the runway with their dogs

- Live performances from Kelly Rowland and Joss Stone at Macy’s Herald Square, with appearances by Tommy Hilfiger, Rachel Roy and Amar’e Stoudemire

- Rachel Zoe and Erin Wasson will show face at Bloomingdale’s

- Jade Jagger will launch her new jewelry line at Henri Bendel’s

- Lord & Taylor will have Solange Knowles on the turntables and an appearance by Ivanka Trump

- Saks Fifth Ave will feature appearances by the inimitable Tilda Swinton with Pringle of Scotland designer Alistair Carr and Central Saint Martins professor/Kanye West mentor Louise Wilson, while Ne-Yo performs and signs hats

This is just a small sampling of the hundreds of  events listed on FNO’s website and you can filter through all of them by neighborhood, category or specialty. FNO also has an iPhone/Android app to help you plan your itinerary on the go thus ensuring this year you can make as many regrettable, booze-induced purchases as possible. [WWD]

Why it is important to you that your products are produced in New York City?
There are so many reasons! First, it was about quality control and having the ability to be hands-on in the creation of my line during each stage of development. From the beginning, I imagined the line having a level of exclusivity to it, and manufacturing in New York City allows me to keep the production limited. Then it comes down to humanity. After learning about some of the unfortunate factory conditions globally, I wanted to know the people working on my collection were treated properly and paid well.

How involved are you in the creation of each bag? What goes into each product from design to production?
I am involved in every aspect of the collection. I design each bag myself and oversee it from idea to production. I start each season by choosing colors and the concept for every style, and the ideas begin to develop from there.

Each bag starts with a drawing, and from there, into a sample. Once a sample is finalized, all of the materials are handpicked and selected. After that, it is all sales, marketing and production. There is a great deal of work that goes on from conception to execution. Designing and picking colors is definitely the best part!

What are the must-have items in your bag?
Gloss, eyelash curler, Nars bronzer & brush, my iPhone and a digital camera.

What type of woman loves to carry your bags?
The ideal woman is stylish but has a relaxed, chic approach to her wardrobe. She appreciates a high-quality, well-made accessory. And while she loves fashion, she is probably not overtly trendy or overdone.

Your company is very dedicated to helping charity. What are your future philanthropic plans?
My goal is to produce a product line where profits would focus on benefiting charities and foundations that serve under-privileged children by giving them the resources and opportunities needed to succeed. My belief is every child should have the support, necessities and guidance to flourish.

Beyond monetary contributions, I am currently researching ways to provide opportunity and empower individuals and small business owners internationally by giving them the chance to produce this product line to benefit and strengthen their communities and lives.

How different is your life now from your life as an art director? What prompted you to make the switch?
Working in fashion is a huge change but a welcomed one! I was starting to feel stifled creatively working in advertising. When I started Amanda Joy, I had one design, a clutch I needed in my personal accessory rotation. As soon as I saw it come together, I knew I was in love with designing bags and wanted to keep going with it. Very much like in advertising and branding, it takes a couple rounds to get it right. Thankfully I was already prepared for the time and effort it takes.

What inspired you for the Fall 2011 collection? When you’re designing, where do you turn for creative vision?
For Fall, I was inspired by the classic and tailored looks you are seeing everywhere. Amanda Joy emanates unfussy design, so this season I mixed simple, clean lines with luxurious, sophisticated leathers and rich exotic skins to bring that lady-like stylishness together.

For day-to-day inspiration, you can pretty much always find me buried in a glossy or reading my daily dose of fashion blogs. Living in Florida, I spend a lot of time outside. There is ease about fashion here – maxi dresses and sandals are a girl’s best friend. And I think accessories are definitely the best way to add glamour to a simplistic look.

Now that you know what to wear, what is all the hype about the Rockaway Beach Boardwalk? Joining the famous outpost Rockaway Taco are Brooklyn favorites like Caracas, The Meat Hook, Roberta’s and Vinegar Hill House. For all the vegetarians out there, Babycakes and Veggie Island are also joining the party.

Alright, I gotta go. Love you, too. Bye!

The thin case easily snapped on securely to the back of my phone, barely adding any bulk, and although the case was an unmissable hot pink, its velvety matte coating gave it a sleek, elegant finish.  This color also made it much easier to find in the depths of my beach bag (did I mention I’m writing from LA this week?), which is my constant frustration.

I was especially impressed by the quality of the earbuds.  Not only did they have a fully functioning microphone, but they successfully drowned out all the outside noise while putting me in heavy-bass Britney mode.  The matching pop of color at the ear coordinated with the phone shell, giving the overall look this subtle consistency which I particularly appreciate.

Overall, iFrogz has definitely designed quality goods, and I will be rocking the pink until it goes out of style (obvi I mean never).  For more info check out their site right heresies. If you have any more questions tweet ‘em at me @iamsamlim

Romatet, it seems, wants to follow American Vogue‘s  example by expanding beyond fashion and taking advantage of new technology to utilize the iPhone and iPad as well as developing a new website.

He explained:

“What I want is for Vogue Paris to be very open, that it will be a magazine where all of the sensibilities can express themselves, where all styles can exist. A magazine where everyone can express themselves because they have talent. Emmanuelle Alt is capable of opening the magazine to that.”

Alt is game for the challenge, saying that she “will task [herself] with developing the incredible potential of Vogue Paris.”

What do you think of Roitfeld’s replacement and French Vogue‘s new direction? Is the end of an era?

Billy Ray’s strong words to Miley via tweet:

Apparently Papa Cyrus was too sad to use proper punctuation.

Meanwhile, Anthony Adams, a former California State Assembleyman is taking Miley’s public faux pas as an opportunity to reintroduce a bill he supported in 2007 that would classify salvia as a Schedule I controlled substance, like marijuana and LSD.

Adams claims that Miley’s celebrity would spur youth to “emulate her behavior.” And that’s the last thing anyone wants. Slutty 12 year olds not wearing panties, toking up on camera and making shitty pop music.

August, possibly summer’s hottest, most humid month, is upon us. Don’t let this month’s weather throw a wrench in your style plan–just be prepared.  Here we show you six handy products today on Better.tv that will solve your summer mini-catastrophes.

Don’t Let Flash Thunderstorms Ruin Your Accessories

1. One moment, it’s sunny, the next moment, you’re drenched. Throw these Shoe Slickers in your bag and whip and protect your leather heels and booties.$4.99 is a small price to pay for peace of mind.

2. Drop your iPhone/watch/camera/cell phone  in a puddle, or the pool? Turn off your gadget and put it into the Bheestie Bag ($20). The beads inside will absorb the moisture and it’ll be as good as new.

Don’t Do Battle With Your Pinching Sandals

3. You shouldn’t have to wear strappy sandals and peep toes in pain. Band-Aid’s Friction-Block ($7.49) is a portable solution – just glide it onto your feet and it’s like you’re wearing invisible tights–no more unsightly blisters.

4. When work is over and you can finally take off your heels for the walk to your car or the subway, you’ll be glad to have these Pocket Flops ($22). They come with a pouch and fold up so you can tuck them into your purse.

Don’t Wilt In The Heat

5. Ponytails are cute and practical – a definite go-to hairstyle for summer. Scunci’s The Evolution hair ties,  ($3.49) actually keep your hair up without pulling it out. So pull back that luxurious mane and brave the heat with confidence.

6. Sweat is inevitable, but the look you want to aim for is “healthy glow,” not “dripping puddle of makeup.” Skindinavia’s Cool Flash Makeup Finish,  ($29.00) chills the surface of your skin so your makeup won’t melt off. So genius.

See all of our beauty roadtest posts for more solutions, and then grab yourself a pair of  no-fail, best-fitting jeans and a little black dress, and you’ll be smooth sailing ’til fall.

Gucci has announced the launch of the Gucci App for iPhone and iPod touch, which is now available from the App Store.

The app synthesizes the worlds of fashion, technology and music offering Gucci enthusiasts access to exclusive Gucci products, unique playlists, videos, fashion shows, news, events, latest collections, store listings and the ability to mix their own music.

The rich content on the app was developed specifically with the profile of the Gucci loyalist in mind and delivers a new way to experience the varied world of the Gucci lifestyle. The launch of the Gucci App has been timed to coincide with the itinerant GUCCI ICON-TEMPORARY project, a travelling sneaker store that opens on October 24th at 43 Crosby Street in New York, before moving to Miami on December 1st, and then to London and Tokyo in Spring 2010.

Gucci Creative Director Frida Giannini collaborated with award-winning musical artist and producer Mark Ronson on key features of the app including:
* The Gucci Ronson Sneaker: Giannini and Ronson have designed a collection of limited edition sneakers in conjunction with the GUCCI ICON-TEMPORARY travelling sneaker store project. For each city opening in the US, one special Gucci Ronson model has been reserved exclusively for the Gucci App. Only iPhone and iPod touch users can view these coveted models, and only they have the ability to purchase it.
* Gucci Beats: One of the most progressive features of the Gucci App allows users to mix their own music tracks on a virtual turntable. Ronson has provided loops that can be individually manipulated by layering on various beats, sound types, drums, bass and vocals. Users are given DJ-like creative and technical capabilities on their iPhone or iPod touch and can save and share their original tracks with friends via email or Facebook.
* Frida and Mark’s Playlists: Both Giannini and Ronson have created their own personal playlists for the Gucci App, which can be downloaded directly from the iTunes Store. A well-documented music lover, Giannini has included a mix of tracks currently inspiring her fashion collections.
“Apps are the new virtual accessory, so I approached the design of Gucci’s first app in the same way I do with a bag or shoe from my collections,” said Frida Giannini, Gucci’s Creative Director. “I looked to provide the essence of the Gucci lifestyle experience in a way that takes full advantage of the technological capabilities of the revolutionary iPhone and iPod touch. Of course Mark Ronson’s contribution ensures that the Gucci App is truly unique.”

I’m finally making the switch to an Apple iPhone this December, and while I intended to snag one of those awesome cork cases, I think I’m going to show Gareth Pugh some support and invest in one of his iPhone or Macbook cases from Colette and AnOther Magazine. They’re not cheap, setting you back just over $100, but hey, it’s Pugh people, he’s incredible.

Thanks Refinery 29!

I hope this is just a rumor, because I will become very mad and jealous if it isn’t. The buzz on the street is that a red iPhone is going to be introduced this week, and apparently a portion of the proceeds will go towards helping people who have AIDS. Now I know I’ll get hate mail for saying this, but what’s with AIDS and Breast Cancer getting all these cool colored products? I have ADD and I don’t get a cool colored iPhone to help me out! I don’t even get a color! Apparently these are the Fashionable diseases of our time. They are the new school polio! So here you have it, and I’m only going to say this once (for my own safety). AIDS out, Elephantitis in. Glow in the dark iPhones for everyone! (because glow in the dark is the international color for Elephantitis). Let the hate mail flow…

Welcome to the secret nerdy life that is Corey Moran. I saw these cool ad pictures for A Crush, they make covers for your Iphone, and thought it was nifty.
