News Heads up for wardrobe choices tomorrow: National Wear Red Day
Posted By Kimberly Lawson on Thu, Feb 5, 2009 at 1:49 PM
Friday, Feb. 6 is the American Heart Association's National Wear Red Day.
From TalkingShopping.com:
Show your support of American Heart Association's effort to raise awareness about heart disease and stroke by wearing red at work, at school, out on the town, and even at the gym! 1 in 3 women die from cardiovascular disease, but now, with the American Heart Association, there is something you can do to make a change. If you can, don't just wear red, make a donation!
News Recession affects New York Fashion week
Posted By Kimberly Lawson on Thu, Feb 5, 2009 at 12:34 PM
New York Fashion Week starts next Friday, Feb. 13, but some designers are opting to stay out of the high-profile, highly expensive event.
Vera Wang, known for her wedding gowns donned by celebrity brides, Betsey Johnson, who's dressed the likes of "Courtney Love, Salma Hayek, Cyndi Lauper and Helena Bonham Carter," and Carmen Marc Valvo, whose client list includes "Kate Winslett, Oprah Winfrey and Iman, David Bowie's model wife," will all be showcasing their new collections privately, away from the famous catwalk.
By doing so, they'll probably save anywhere from $100,000 to $750,000.
Gee, even the rich and pretty are going through hard times.

Sales / Features A site for the promo code hunter
Posted By Kimberly Lawson on Wed, Feb 4, 2009 at 3:20 PM

If you're an avid online shopper, this is the place to go to get those promotional codes for deals on big retailers like Target.com, Macys.com, Amazon.com, BestBuy.com and more. They've also got printable coupons if you're one of those peeps who have to feel the fabric in your hand before you can commit to shelling out the paper.
Categories range from clothing to food & groceries to Web services.
