Hello Fashionistas!
It’s that time of year again…yes the smell of delicious deals on true designer goods is upon us. Drum roll please…The 
Barneys New York warehouse sale. It only happens once a year ladies. This year Barneys added a completely new location to the usual two stop bi-coastal fashion frenzy it’s San Francisco which just wrapped up August 9th. The sale offers women’s, men’s and gifts for the home
Barneys also changed the traditional location in Los Angeles. Rather than holding the sale at the Santa Monica airport hanger it will be held at the Los Angeles Convention Center. If this will be your first time shopping the warehouse sale here are a few tips:
- There are no dressing rooms so wear clothes you can easily try other clothes while wearing
- If you can, shop at least two of the days I suggest going the first and last date day of the sale. The first day of the sale will be a madhouse, but it’s worth it when you get the first pick of $150 Louboutins. Then go again on the last day when everything is marked down even further
- This is not a quick lunch break stop. Schedule a lot of time. Prepare for mobs of fashionistas and long checkout lines.
- Not that we should suggest opening another credit card in this recession, but if you do open one the day you shop they will take an additional 10% off the already 50-75% markdowns…tempting
Los Angeles: Thursday, August 13th through Sunday August 23rd
Los Angeles Convention Center, South Hall 1201 South Figueroa Street
New York: Thursday August 20th through Monday September 7th
225 West 17th Street between 7th + 8th Ave

Hello Fashionistas!
Friday was the opening day for Julie and Julia. I like to view myself as a fabulous cook so naturally I had to pay my respects to one of the greats of French/American cuisine Julia Child. The movie is more than just about a love of cooking. It is about passion on infinite levels. What I didn’t expect was the movie was a fashionistas indulgence.
Meryl Streep transformed Julia Child into a fashion forward fashionista adorned in pearls and heels in the kitchen. She is always elegant and exquisite throughout the movie. Even her aprons were form fitting and fashionable making me rethink my well loved and over-used apron. There are so many fantastic way to accessorize while in the kitchen. The first and easiest of course is your apron. Many of my vintage inspired favs are from Anthropologie. Some of them make you want to wear an apron everywhere.
When all is said and done, your fabulous dinner party is over and the dishes need scrubbing a true fashionista slips on her dishwashing gloves to match. 
Let us be reminded that a girl can accessories anytime, even in the midst of domesticity. Treat yourself to a fantastic movie and then bake your girlfriends some buttery chocolate croissants while wearing a fabulous apron. Trust me you will want something decadent after the film!
Deliciously yours,
Sassy Chick
Hello Fashionistas!
Yesterday thousands showed up for the open casting call that began for Sex and the City 2 in New York.
The Call was appropriately for “fashion models, celebrity types, upscale socialites, urban club goers, gays and lesbians and professional soccer players” The last of which makes me wonder about the new plot line. Will Samantha start playing the field with a hot soccer player? Lord knows stilettos don’t belong on a soccer field. I can’t wait for the new film! Ladies, keep your Cosmos chilled because production is just beginning but you know on opening weekend it will be another fabulous girl’s night out!

Hello Fashionistas!
We have all seen them, from nightclubs to pools, Ed Hardy’s tattoo-inspired artwork and heavy embellishments are as ubiquitous in Las Vegas nightclubs as Grey Goose vodka bottles and bachelor parties. The brand has become one of the staples of Las Vegas style, and the Christian Audigier brand even went so far as to open The Nightclub inside Treasure Island.
The Ed Hardy swimwear line is pushing to expand into mainstream fashion without losing its edge. Ed Hardy Swim now offers more options, including mix-and-match separates and new design elements like flocking, embroidery and metallic fabrics. The signature Ed Hardy embellishments are still present, but Arthur said the line is still swimmable. The move was designed to make the pool attire more appealing to customers outside the typical Las Vegas or Los Angeles market. “We needed some freshness,” Arthur says. “This season it’s not just your typical tattoo print; it’s a little more sophisticated.”
If you want a feel for what the line looks like this year, look no further than Vegas’ own Wet Republic where the cocktail servers can be spotted sporting all Ed Hardy swimwear. The sponsorship with the posh pool club isn’t Ed Hardy’s only exclusive outfitting in Vegas. Cocktail servers at Caesars Palace’s Venus Pool Club are decked out in Ed Hardy’s Christian Audigier line.

All of these elements strip hair leaving it looking and feeling dull, brittle and dry. Here are a few homemade inexpensive ways to revive your summer hair slump.
Before swimming in chlorinated water rinse your hair in clean water and apply a leave in conditioner so your hair is protected from soaking up chlorine.
Deep Cleansing Shampoo
Mix the contents of a green-tea bag and two tablespoons of olive oil, with the juice of a half a lemon and half an orange. Whip In a blender. Then massage into hair and leave on for fifteen minutes. Shampoo and condition.
For a quick and easy deep clean add 1 tbsp baking soda to your regular shampoo… it’s better than most striping shampoos on the market and only about $1 for a box.
Shine-Boosting Conditioner
Brew a cup of tea in a flavor close to your hair color.
Blonde/Chamomile
Brunette/black current
Redhead/Orange pekoe
Mix equal parts tea with hair conditioner. Use once or twice a week.
How to add volume to hair
Steep a bag of nettle tea in a cup of water and apply to clean and conditioned hair while damp. Nettle coats and thickens your hair shaft.
Remember, the easiest and best way to protect your hair is simply to wear a hat when you will be in the sun for extended periods of time.
