Fall 2010 ad for my store Samantha's Consignment Boutique

SamCitychick — Thu, 26 Aug 2010 07:53:53 -0700

On Sunday, August 15th I had my very first photoshoot for my boutique. The shoot took place at my store in Glen Cove and it went fabulously. The photographer was Marc from Category 6 (http://www.modelmayhem.com/category6 ) and I was the makeup artist (as well as the stylist and semi-assistant). Needless to say that I was totally beat by the end of the shoot but I was so excited with the results. Here they are:

I'm in love with my store!

SamCitychick — Tue, 13 Jul 2010 17:21:25 -0700

So my boutique opened about a month and a half ago (June 1st) and I absolutely love it! Its been alot of work and very stressful at times but it has been so worth it. I absolutely love everything about it...the location (Glen Cove is Awesome!), my customers, my employees Renee and Kat, and especially the merchandise!!!! I've always wanted a boutique, but I never thought that I would have one so young and I never thought that I would have a consignment store. After researching for several months and being offered an opportunity that I just could not pass up, I decided just to do it and I am so glad I did. Here are a few pics of my store :-)

Oh, I forgot ton mention...the really cool thing about my store is that we get tons (I mean tons) of new items EVERYDAY! For instance today we got in a pair of Louis Vuitton sunglasses, a few dresses, bags and a couple of antique items for the home. Also, most of the items that we get in are either brand new with the tags still on them or gently used and have only been worn a few times. If you are ever in Glen Cove, make sure you stop by and say hi to me, Kat or Renee and I promise that you will find something in there that you will love!

For Halloween me and my girls Nerissa, Ty and Shirley were sexy French Maids...not my first choice (I wanted to be a True Blood vampire) but I was the one who thought the idea would be cute and the girls agreed...we had a great time that night...

Supermodel Kate Moss has designed several sold-out collections for the hip British retail giant Topshop.

WTF???? French Vogue Shoots Lara Stone in Blackface for This Month’s Supermodel Issue

SamCitychick — Wed, 14 Oct 2009 10:04:39 -0700

um..ok...I get that French Vogue is all about controversy and "pushing the envelope" but this is taking it to a whole 'nother level. World renown photographer Steven Klein shot Dutch supermodel Lara Stone in blackface makeup for a spread styled by French Vogue editor Carine Roitfeld. The magazine goes on and on about praising Lara for the "radical break with the wave of anorexic models" she represents however the chick is a size 4...am I the only one totally confused by that stupidity? They say that they love how she embraces her supposedly curvy figure (um....yeah...do these people know what curves look like?) instead of being worried about being "the fat one." LOL...im sorry...I just can't LOL...a size 4 being considered the fat model...LOL..I needed that laugh today.

Anyways, since the magazine included their one "fat" model..they decided to use...for a lack of a better word..."anorexic" models for the rest of the enire issue such as Kate Moss, Kristen McMenamy, Yasmin Le Bon, Eva Herzigova, Claudia Schiffer, Anna Selezneva, Diane Kruger, Constance Jabloski, and Eniko Mihalik. Oh and did I mention that all the models in the issue are white...no black or asians graced the pages, which unfortunately is nothing new but then to put Lara and her "fat" self in black face just add to the ridiculousness of this entire issue...Imma need them to just recall this crap and try again next month...

Lauren Conrad for Kohl's

SamCitychick — Mon, 21 Sep 2009 20:40:03 -0700

I am a huge fan of Lauren Conrad's style (because we have very similar tastes when it comes to clothes) and I actually loved her first line, The Lauren Conrad Collection, and was disappointed when I heard that it failed (oh, Im sorry, "put on hiatus"). So, you can imagine my surprise and excitement when I heard that she was partnering up with retail giant Kohls to launch a more affordable line called LC Lauren Conrad for Kohls. I think that unlike her first line, this one will definitely do well because as everyone surmises, her last collection failed not because her clothes weren't hot, but because her prices were just way too high!

Lauren's Kohl's line consists of dresses, tops, and bottoms...all reflective of her California style. The tops in her line are very flowy and trendy and retail between $20 - $44 (she has a blazer in her line that retails for $60). As of right now, she only has 2 dresses in her collection and they both are really, really cute. They retail at $50 and $60. Lauren also has a few jeans, retailing for $54. And of course, she has a pair of high quality black leggings for sale as well that retails for $20.

I'm a tad bit dissappointed though that they are no accessories available as of yet, but knowing how much LC loves her jewelry, belts, bags and shoes, Im pretty sure that she will be adding them soon. Overall, I love the line and its so my style. Its super cute, with trendy and classic pieces and is overall very sophisticated. Here are some of the pieces..you can find more on Kohls.com
