Hardware

I'm loving the hardware on shoes and bags. I know this is not a new trend, but the goods keep on coming. ROMYGOLD created some fantastic bags that feature distressed leather with studs and laser-thin slashes. They are a year old company created by two close friends from Jersey. These bags are reasonably priced considering the products that are used. A steal for such a fun and chic bag!

In the KNOW!

With Fashion week over in NYC, we're left with a 'want' to know more. What will the celebs wear next? What will the buyers take from what they've seen? How will these items morph to every day wear? We are eager to get our hands on all the new pieces we've just seen. What better way to be in the know than to have these great trends at your fingertips. Singer 22 brings you right there.

Want to know how Kim wears shoulder pads? Do you want to purchase this seasons must have? Then get on board with Singer 22, where fashionistas live, seek and shop!

Rock that Body!

Yesterday, my co-worker had an extra ticket and invited me to the Black Eyed Peas' concert at MSG. AMAZING!!! I was thrilled that Ludacris and LMFAO would be opening but then David Guetta showed up and I was ecstatic! What a treat! I felt like I was at a club the whole night. We danced the night away to BEP, Luda and cover songs. Unfortunaly, we missed LMFAO, but I'm sure I'll have another opportunity.

Do you think David Guetta does weddings? hmmm

Current things I love by Mark.

Your name here please

I decided to google my name for the heck of it and came across my favorite salon. My hair dresser wrote up a posting of the event she held last summer, Seeds of Love, and included me. What a sweet person!

In addition, she included the article from Beatuy Fashion magazine, which I was featured in last summer.

Switch to your dancing shoes!

How wonderful are these!

I am considering buying these to switch into after my dogs start barking.

Why pay more...

You can  pay $795 for this Michael Kors hobo bag




Or, you can have this fabulous Mark. hobo bag for $30! You do the math.

Some fun in the sun!

Last summer, Tom and I were selected for a chance to win a destination wedding in the Bahamas. We lost, but as a secondary prize, we won a free trip to the Bahamas, Sandals Resort! We took advantage of the opportunity and extended our stay. We continued our vacation at the Atlantis resort. It was great to be away while the rest of New York experienced a crazy snow storm.

Filene's Bridal Run

On February 5th, I decided to attend the Filene's Bridal Run... I WAS SOOOO NOT PREPARED! Doors opened at 8AM and I took my sweet time to arrive. My thoughts: I'll get there after 8AM and the crowd will subside. My aunt and I got a cup of coffee and strolled to the train. When we arrived at Union Square I began to wonder if we were enough. Should I have brought more folks with me? Answer: YES!!!! totally not prepared for what I saw next: an endless line of women, men, cameras and posters. I figured I wouldn't be in until 9 maybe 10AM. However, we arrived at 8 and waltzed in at 8:20AM. Not bad, so I thought. We walked in and the store clerk told us to come back in 2 hours since all the dresses were off the racks. That's right; every single dress was taken off the racks and into the hands of many brides. Some brides took about 50 dresses at a time. The store should have gave a limit to the number of dresses one could take. I think 10 is a reasonable amount. I wandered around with my aunt to see what the merchandised looked like. Well, don't even think to take, let alone look, at a dress. I'm surprised these women didn't piss on the dresses to mark their territory. It was insane the way these women reacted. Some went down to their skippies and not shaved in certain place, if you catch my drift. When I finally tried on a dress, I had about 5 women come up to me asking if I would trade my dress with one of theirs. I did not end up buying anything at Filene's but my aunt and I had a fun adventure and a story to tell.

Carlos Falchi for Mark.

Stay tuned you lucky fashionistas! Mr. Carlos Falchi will be making his appearance this summer with Mark.

Affordable and Trendy! Can't beat that!
