Happy shopping!

From Commoner to Princess

Although Kate Middleton's sapphire-blue Issa dress (retail price: $636 USD) sold out in less than a day in London following the announcement of her royal engagement, you can still dress like a princess. Middleton's not the only fan of Brazilian-born Daniella Issa Helayel's designs. Other celebrity followers include Madonna, Scarlett Johansson, Keira Knightley and Kate Moss. Check out more of Issa's FAB collection HERE. I need one of the short kimono dresses in my closest this minute!

Lanvin + H&M Invasion Only a Few Days Away & Benefiting UNICEF

Also, Lanvin has decided to auction off 25 haute couture, one-of-a-kind versions of the popular crossover fashions in the name of UNICEF via online auction. For deets on this, check out Fashionista.com

Urbanista D.O.T.D. = Deeply Discounted DVF!

Ruelala.com is hosting a DVF boutique for the next 24 hours. There are lots of gems including signature DVF dresses & uber chic luggage. My blood pressure went through the roof as I almost missed out on this haute mini sheath. I was forced to buy a size 2 since all the size 4s sold out within seconds of me adding it to my shopping cart! Guess I won't be indulging in a lot of holiday eating, but it's oh so worth it!

Countdown to Black Friday: $3 Appliances @ Target?! "Oh My!"

Word is that Target will offer crazy bargains the day after Thanksgiving including 50% off clothes & toys, major deals on HD TVs & even $3 appliances! (I wonder if we're talking about a cheap toaster here or a high-end mixer) Either way it's pocket change, literally.

Target will announce all Black Friday deals on the retailer's website on Nov. 24th.

Conspicuous Consumption: The World's First $1 Billion Home

Some say, "if you've got it, flaunt it" or more recently, "it ain't trickin' if you've got it." But others are outraged that India's richest man has built the world's most expensive home just miles away from the extremely poverty-stricken areas of Mumbai.

Mukesh Ambani, his wife & their 3 children will soon move into this 37,000 sq foot home which includes a 27-story monolithic structure complete with three helipads, a health club, dance studio, ballroom, 50-seat movie theater and underground parking lot for 160 cars.


What do you think? Is it his prerogative, somewhat obnoxious or downright obscene?
