Where my NYC girls at? Is it just me or are the windows at Macy's incredible right now? If you haven't seen them because you don't work in Herald Square come saunter by during your lunch break or weekend? Or go online to the interactive outfit maker at www.macys.com/fashiondirector.  It lets you combine the season’s hottest fashions and accessories to style, shop, and share the perfect look.  They also have these awesome little challenges of the day for you to create outfits for–like, make the perfect outfit for having coffee with an ex! Talk  amongst yourselves–how adorb?

Are you up for the fashion challenge? Here is how it works –

·         Build the perfect outfit by dragging pieces to the virtual canvas until you are satisfied with the look

·         Once completed, click submit to enter your outfit into the voting gallery

·         Share your look on Facebook and Twitter and invite your friends and family to vote for your outfit

·         The outfit that gets the most votes each day will win that day’s challenge and a $500 Macy’s gift card 

Doesn't get much easier than that? This is what I do anyway while I surf the net, except it's in my head…and I don't get entered to win $500 gift cards…

Thanks for the tip, Racked.com!

Are you signed up for too many online sample sale sites? I feel like I am, and this is what I do! Do you ever wish you could find all of these deals in just one place? I mean each day I am just completely overwhelmed when I get to my inbo and have 20 new emails just about sample sales. And this is before I even get my green tea down. 

Sample Sales are a way for those of us who are strapped for cash to be able to experience couture. And I don't know about you but I'd much rather hit the refresh button on my computer at noon everyday, than push through crowds of angry, vicious screaming psychos. Till now it's been hard to keep track of the dozens of sample sale sites out there. We were getting a bazillion emails a day and discovering new sites each week. So MyNines decided to pull it all together and put the thrill back where it belonged… just so that you’d never miss a deal.

MyNines is a free new service that gathers products from various sample sale sites and puts them all in one convenient location.  Categories include fashion, men, travel, beauty and wines—MyNines allows you to search for what you want, when you want it.  We are adding new sites each week, so please check back regularly! It's kind of like the Kayak for sample sales!

You'll also be able to search products by filters such as designer, category, highest discounts, and most viewed. You can also do a description search (e.g. black skinny jeans).

If I were you I'd sign up now and get in while the gettin' is good!

Dear LC,

I am in shock that I think this collection is awesome. I'll have to see in in person to really give a good judgment but from the pics it looks pretty amazing! I am so glad that you came to your senses and stopped selling frocks at couture prices and have instead decided to aim your clothing's price points at your fans. Good job whoever designed and marketed the collection. Oh yeah and while I"m thinking people, nice work to whoever wrote your book because I'm pretty sure you're incapable of writing a NYT bestseller. Anyway, love the collection. xox
