    Tag Heuer Friends and Family

    Apperently LVMH has a secret employee site, which discounts some of their top brand names. We were recently tipped off to the site, which is currently hosting a Tag Heuer friends and family sale where prices are about 50% off retail. Just go to lvmhpartners.com and type in the Access Key: ffsalefall09. The sale runs until Wednesday, September 30th and shipping is even included in the price.

    After a good look through the inventory we suggest going for the $4,100 Monaco, which is reduced to $1,500. The denim strap is a bit tragic and should be replaced, however, the watch is still an amazing deal. If a grand is out of budget try the red Formula 1, which is $450 from $700.

    In the meantime, we are going to keep checking back for the Dior section. Imagine getting Dior high boots for 75% off!

    Fashion Week: Maria Pinto

    Everyone who saw Maria Pinto’s fashion presentation– think fashion art gallery in place of a runway show– had the same sentiment… wow! The swanky collection can take you to any event imaginable. Lady’s lunch, check. Wedding, check. Red carpet, check. Black tie, check. You get the picture.

    What to buy: Start your Maria Pinto collection with a strong and stylish pant suit.

    Fashion Week: 3.1 Philip Lim

    The best tweet of the day was from CutBlog, “We’re having a seizure, and it’s because we’re sitting near Leighton Meester’s traveling army of flashbulbs @ Lim. #nyfw.”
    We almost spit our water out on the blond sitting in front of us. I’m sure she would not have been happy.

    Bergdorf is hosting a beauty “event” where you get between 10% and 20% back in gift cards. The promotion runs from September 16th until September, 20th.

    The breakdowns are below but strangly enough the best deal comes if you spend just $100 and you get $25 back, or 25% of your puchase value. If you spend $1,000, however, you get back just $100, or 10% of your purchase value. The more money you spend, the less you get!?

    Spend $100 get a $25 gift card
    Spend $500 get a $50 gift card
    Spend $750 get a $75 gift card
    Spend $1000 get a $100 gift card

    Dennis Basso is a quintessential New York garmento. He loves fashion, loves making women look beautiful and loves the process of constructing gorgeous fashion.

    Why buy: You’re going to the Cannes Film Festival, the Met Ball or you love to dress up

    Fashion Week: Marc Jacobs

    Marc Jacobs is one of the biggest shows during fashion week. It’s the only show that draws Madonna, Lady GaGa and Rachel Zoe. Yes, he gets the celebrities and the fashion crowd. Most designers don’t draw both.

    Marc Jacobs Spring 2010

    Who is the customer: Celebs and those who love to love fashion

    Why buy: Ruffles and pearls make you smile and feel pretty

    What to buy: This rose ruffled number with a high-necked collar is a stand-out piece

    Bypass: The fanny packs, which aren’t even cute with an LV logo

    Contribution to fashion: Marc makes fashion. Some of what he shows might seem a bit off-the-edge but it always makes its way though the fashion mill and winds up mainstream several seasons later.
