Oh how I remember those grade school years! 

There was at least one birthday party a week. And that Bar Mitzvah and Bat Mitzvah year at age 13....Oy Vay! The parties were so special in my neck of the woods, the gifts had better be, as well. It can be hard to keep up. Here's a little help. Get party ready with this Edit of all things cool for Kids birthdays and events.

A New York Minute: The Best Of Henri Bendel

Henri Bendel, often called a Girls Playground,
has always been my NY playground.  I still remember their 57th Street location.  It was
a Street of Shops that looked like this:

(via NY Times)

Entering those golden doors started
my heart racing.  I always knew there was
something special in store for me! And the
fragrance....wow, that store always had an
aroma of money!  The store was the peak of
chic in the 70's, 80's and 90's.  Today, with 
the flagship now on Fifth Avenue, it is 
still a New York City institution, just a bit 
different.  Now instead of running to the 
lingerie floor, I make a bee line to the hair
accessories. Their selection is still unmatched.

Lucky for the world at large, Bendel's is now
accessible via the Internet.  Gone are the 
independent and fashion forward lines of
clothing. But there's still plenty of exciting
items for every type of girl; glam, sporty, 
fashionista. It's a fab source for gift buying.
Here: my edit of 
The Best at Bendel's!

Fall Focus: Black And White Is Oh So Right

It's true, opposites do attract. This
year on the runway, black and white
was what inspired many designers,
proving that, yes we can now banish
the "no white" after Labor Day rule!
This is one trend, I hope never ends.
