Mazie's Method

Ladies and Gentlemen,

I am currently obsessing.  A few months ago I heard about Fashion Night Out (FNO).  I looked into it, I researched and it sounded very interesting.  Fast forward to this past week and the e-mails started arriving.  I read and researched some more.  On twitter, we are tweeting about it, we are facebooking it.  We are GOING!  No question about it.  You can log on and create your own itinerary!  How FABULOUS!

If you look on the list at http://fashionsnightout.com, you can click on each retailer that is participating and see what specials they are offering at each location.  Coach is having some local graffiti artists come and create one of a kind designs.  Chanel is allowing you to work with designers to design your own 2.55.  Our own Lola’s Boutique in Brooklyn is participating.  Knowing the staff at Lola’s, they are lovely and wonderful and always help out for a cause!  I would highly suggest a visit to Mariana and J.  Lola’s has a range of sizes from 2-24.  They will make you look and feel wonderful!  They not only decorate your person, but decorate your house.

As part of FNO, a clothing drive will be held and the clothing will be donated to the NYC AIDS fund.  The clothes will then be given out to 17 AIDS related NYC charities.  Many of the proceeds of the night’s sales will also be donated to the charities.  I will shop for any and all reasons, but for a cause, absolutely.  So meet me, email me your itinerary and we will compare.  There are so many wonderful places and things to see and buy.  I wouldn’t miss it!!!

Happy September! 
 
I am very much looking forward to the fall this year, particularly some clothing options I have seen floating around… Every September Issue of a magazine has a top ten so I decided to follow suit… 
 
My first must have for the fall is a poncho or cloak. I know they were in a few years ago and they come and go, but I stumbled across a designer on Etsy.com that had a beautiful handmade one that I feel cannot be passed up. There is a certain je ne sais quoi about it…I cannot wait to get my hands on it! It is a definitely staple in my Fall wardrobe..

Secondly, of course is a tote, a large bag that will hold all of your essentials and look beautiful at the same time. I think this bag is awesome, it is vintage and a messenger sling bag. I would love something like this because it looks nice and big with a lot of pockets! The tan is a great neutral for the fall/winter! 

Boots.. I am obsessing over these boots. The color, the heel, the style, the lush suede. Since I am a large girl, who is in charge, I have big calves, finding knee high boots is difficult, so these are a great alternative!!! 

Fourth, a great hat..I have a few of these hats and I love how they drape. They are super warm and so trendy, and artsy! 
 
  

I was thinking the other day about scarves. I love scarves, I wear them in the summer, fall, never ever leave home without one in the winter and of course in the spring.. I twirl them, drape them, braid them, wrap myself in them. I have long ones, short ones, thick ones and skinny ones. My favorites though, are ones called Mobius…They wrap round and round and have no beginning and no end.. So beautiful! 
 

 Gloves are essential for fall… at least for me.. I am ALWAYS cold! These are fabulous awesome beautiful arm warmers and are fingerless gloves. You can always go for the finger kind of gloves, but these are great under a cape or with a 3/4 sleeve sweater. Purple is the in color this season.. I think I may buy me a pair!!! 

For my tall girls, Denim that can go from work to play with a change of accessories…I am in love with straight leg jeans, slim leg jeans and gray jeans! These jeans are Fantastic! They come in all sizes for the sexy ladies!!! 
 

Who wouldn’t want a beautiful custom made dress that will go with you through the seasons? I definitely do. This dress makes me drool. I think it is so beautiful and a classic shape and this lovely artist on Etsy.com will make dresses in all fabrics made to order! 
 

The BoyFriend Blazer is SO right now! I can definitely see this rocked with a t-shirt or a tank and a button down with some frilly ruffles and some straight jeans.. for big girls and tall girls, I turn to my pals at Lane Bryant who have great coupons in e-mail if you sign up! 
 
 

And Last…A thick sweater that will surround you in warmth and make you smile… This sweater is absolutely gorgeous and it is made out of soft hand dyed wool, and sounds delicious! I cannot wait to save enough for it this season! Suitable for tall ladies and I would say it is a definite DO!
