The 60s-themed show serves as inspiration for both the invitation (which appropriately reads like an old-fashioned plane ticket) and the goodie bag as well: a vintage-styled PAN AM explorer purse, which will be gifted to the first 50 people who arrive. A few members of the cast will be joining the celebration as well, including star Christina Ricci, leaving more for attendees to check out than Perry's vibrant fall collection. ]]> http://www.cityist.com/blog/a-night-with-lisa-perry-and-pan-am/feed/ 0 http://www.cityist.com/blog/a-truly-jean-ious-event/ http://www.cityist.com/blog/a-truly-jean-ious-event/#comments Wed, 07 Sep 2011 02:51:11 +0000 Rebekah Meiser http://www.cityist.com/?p=12282 Unless you've been holed up in your apartment for the past few weeks fearing a return of the hurricane, you've probably noticed every bus, flier, and store window (not to mention, website) advertising Thursday's Fashion's Night Out. You've also probably noticed that each event looks stellar. If you have a love affair with jeans, add True Religion's FNO event to your itinerary. Pick up a new pair of pants and personalize them with screen printing while listening to music by DJ Elle Dee and noshing on food from Silkstone.]]> http://www.cityist.com/blog/a-truly-jean-ious-event/feed/ 0 http://www.cityist.com/blog/beauty-at-your-doorstep/ http://www.cityist.com/blog/beauty-at-your-doorstep/#comments Mon, 01 Aug 2011 01:52:33 +0000 Rebekah Meiser http://www.cityist.com/?p=12163 The world of beauty is full of seemingly endless possibilities. Although a limitless amount of brands and products makes this aesthetic sector fun, investing in pricier products based off of reviews alone (or, in my case, how compelling the cover art is) can be daunting. Sensing this looming air of uncertainty clouding the beauty aisles throughout the nation, Harvard Business school grads Katia Beauchamp and Hayley Barna founded Birchbox in September 2010 in an effort to simplify the process. ]]> http://www.cityist.com/blog/beauty-at-your-doorstep/feed/ 0 http://www.cityist.com/blog/fancy-friendship-pins/ http://www.cityist.com/blog/fancy-friendship-pins/#comments Thu, 16 Jun 2011 23:52:20 +0000 Rebekah Meiser http://www.cityist.com/?p=11801 Through the many years of elementary school, my friends and I made many accessories to proclaim our friendship. From braided anklets to matching necklaces, homemade friendship accessories were all the rage back in the day. Contemporary design company Seltzer is bringing the friendship accessory back with The Awesome Pin, an 18k gold-plated pin decorated with Swarovski colors.]]> http://www.cityist.com/blog/fancy-friendship-pins/feed/ 0 http://www.cityist.com/blog/tendenzas-trendy-trinkets/ http://www.cityist.com/blog/tendenzas-trendy-trinkets/#comments Thu, 19 May 2011 17:51:22 +0000 Rebekah Meiser http://www.cityist.com/?p=11752 In Manhattan, jewelry stores are about as common as discarded Metro Cards in the Subway. Standing out in this abounding crowd of jewels and molded metals can be a challenge, but a combined bevy of creativity and a yearning for a bracelet that no one has yet created is what new jewelry stores are made of. It was this craving for novel accessories that inspired the start of Tendenza Jewelry, designed by founders Oren and Zichrini.]]> http://www.cityist.com/blog/tendenzas-trendy-trinkets/feed/ 0 http://www.cityist.com/blog/amazons-style-habit/ http://www.cityist.com/blog/amazons-style-habit/#comments Mon, 16 May 2011 18:29:18 +0000 Rebekah Meiser http://www.cityist.com/?p=11722 On May 3rd, Amazon launched its new online discounted designer shop, My Habit. Similar to sites like Gilt Grouple and Ideeli, My Habit is a membership-only site (although members of Amazon.com can already access the deals with their Amazon sing-in) that offers designer goods up to 60% off. New sales go up every day at noon EST, and high-end designers like Doo.Ri, Badgley Mischka, and CC Skye are just a few to grace the new site. ]]> http://www.cityist.com/blog/amazons-style-habit/feed/ 1
