Shout Out To Target

I have to give a huge shout out to Target.  Last Saturday, my sister and her boys and I were shopping there for some odds and ends.  Mostly Legos for the boys.  I have not been to Target in a long while.  Amazon Prime and Stop and Shop Pea Pod take over my shopping duties.  However, my nephews were looking for Star Wars legos so off we went.  After about an hour of looking around, we went to check out.  The boys were happy with their lego and a Star Wars walkie talkie.   But when they saw the snack bar they had to have a hot dog.  My sister ordered for them, they sat waiting at one of the tables and I moved my cart away to make more room and was waiting for them by the exit. BIG MISTAKE.  We quickly realized that someone had picked up the boys’ bag of $50 worth of toys while they were waiting. Of course, everyone was crazed looking around for the toys.  Luckily the manager, Paul, came to our rescue.  He took our receipt number did some research and credited my sister for her purchases that went missing!!!  Kudos to Target for caring for their customers.   So then I started thinking..there is really more than what meets the eye at Target.  It is a great store for fashionable yet not so pricey items.  I started looking around with a new eye AND you will not believe what I found…..look at these blouses.  They are totally the Calypso St Barth look without the hefty price tag.  Since Calypso is one of my fav stores, I keep up with their look and readers, it is surely here. Check it out!!!  You will be amazed.  What great pieces for Indian Summer with dark or light jeans!!!!!  Happy Shopping!!!

Hillary Can You Hear Me

This is
probably the first and last time I will ever post something on this
political campaign but I think it has to be said.  Please don’t hate, I
respect Hillary Clinton for the message she is sending to the women and
youth of this country.  HOWEVER, please please Hillary, if you can hear
me lets get this party started.  I think her choice of outfits for the
DNC were pretty poor.  For some of the most important nights of her
career I thought she would want to hit it out of the park.  She
certainly has the $$$.  So what the problem?  Even Milania dialed up Net A Porter,
where you can get anything on their site delivered to you within 2
hours for $25.  This really happens, I’ve done it myself!!!!  I know, I
know, there are so many more issues at hand here than the fashions of
the candidates but that’s what I do and I feel like maybe I can help a
sister out.  Hillary, if you can hear me, here are some suggestions,
remember, “Dress shabbily and they remember the dress, dress impeccably
and they remember the woman” – Coco Chanel!!  Bon Weekend!!!

Dorm Decor

The reality is setting in, in less than a month, I will be dropping my son off at college.  He is my oldest and leaving behind 2 sisters.  Our house is about to become even more girly (which is hard to believe).  I want his dorm room to remind him of home but not be too “done”.  I have been searching online for some of the most perfect things to send him off with.  Here are some of my favorite finds…I think he is off to a really good start!!!!

Pasquale Jones

I have been reading about one of the hottest restaurants in NYC, Pasquale Jones since the spring.  Gwyneth listed it as one of her must try new restaurants and Jessica Seinfeld is posting non stop about the delicious food.  Pasquale Jones, a squeal to the excellent Charlie Bird NYC,  is a no tipping, no telephone restaurant that only accepts a very few reservations via its website and walk ins.  It is located in the heart of Little Italy on Mulberry St.  If you are not lucky enough to secure an online reservation there might be quite a wait.  However, the food is incredible.  The menu is compact but everything is outstanding from the impressive wine list to the thin crust pizzas to the savory entrees.  I have to agree with all the celebs and magazine editors, Pasquale Jones is a huge hit!!!!!  For more information, click HERE.
