Uptown..whats it all about?

Its about shopping for a cause...shopping for charity. Helping a local educational non-profit build on an already strong foundation. Its about giving back... to the community...to the kids... to a wonderful neighbor, friend, teacher, concerned citizen who out of the kindness of her heart decided to make a difference in youngsters lives. Its about a commitment to insure our future... the children of our village will be confident, educated and can stand strong among their peers as role models in their own right. its about all the possibilities. Its about making sure the best summer program around will continue in the community, for all kids, parents and neighbors.

Its a village thing and we all have to do our part... so yes, we're going Uptown...we're going to introduce new small indie businesses and emerging designers and boutiques to the community

You and your friends are going to support them.,shop with them, make friends with them... we are all going to benefit from going Uptown.. and when its all said and done,the youngsters of House of Mercy Educational Resource Center will say two very important words, "Thank you!" they will know because of our efforts ,working together to promote, to help, to support their program is the key to moving upward and beyond. And it benefits all of us ,you and me, the youngsters, the community, the town, the nation...all of us! "each one, reach one, each one,teach one."

So onward and Uptown we shall go.

Save the date, May 15, 2010. we're shopping for this cause!

See you Uptown!

The Return of Elegance.. an Uptown review

A Return to Elegance
The dot.com companies are suffering, business casual has turned into weekend casual and sloppy dressers have crossed the line too many times. Wall Street is rethinking the dress code, yacht and country clubs are hiring me to rewrite their dress code, party dresses for little girls are in and women are ready to look feminine again!

I've never been an advocate of slavishly following fashion however, wonderful things are happening. With the Return to Elegance, clothing is becoming more luxurious, dinner parties more lavish, men more dashing and women more feminine.

So, it is out with those clunky heels and old lady shoes and it is in with the low cleavage and slender heels. I'm speaking about shoes here men, not dresses. Pant suits are out, skirts and dresses are in . It is out with the dark, harsh colors in nail polish and lipstick and in with light and approachable looks. Femininity is back! It is out with the stodgy rep ties in heavy fabrics and in with the light weight silk ties in patterns so irresistible that I can't resist touching. It is out with the Docker pants and in with the pleated dress trouser.

So, if you have more " dash than cash "......

MEN: a few great ties and to ensure the best possible choice, bring the jacket with you when shopping. Throw out those boring socks and splurge on the wonderful new looks in subtle patterns and colors. No white or loud patterns in socks. Cuff links, tie pins and suspenders are in for a truly dashing look.

WOMEN: More feminine styling in business suits, sheer stockings (Hanes Silk Reflections make a great choice), softer fabrics in dresses and glamorous evening dresses are back.

Dress to be memorable. Dress to conquer the world and strike a profile for profit. When I say that clothing can make you look good, what I'm really saying is that it makes you look authoritative, powerful, rich, reliable, responsible, friendly and other traits that are meaningful to you and others in business and social situations.

Chocolate diamonds anyone?

We're UPTOWN all the way

The name has changed but the aim is the same.
Shopping for charity while celebrating the style, the clothes, the shoes, the jewelry and the glamour the 4 gal pals evoke in the Sex and the City 2 the movie...

Will we see this in the new movie?

simply gorgeous!

SJP-NYC launch coincides with SATC2 premiere!

Striving to capture the essence of SJP's (thats Sarah Jessica Parker) alter ego Carrie Bradshaw of Sex and the City fame, Coty announces the launch of SJP-NYC. based on Carrie Bradshaw's closet,this new fragrance is in large part due to people's impressions of seeing Carrie Bradshaw walk down the street and what feelings that evokes for her and for them, a sense of freedom and possibilities, a love for the city around her and of course fashion.
