I can’t be the only one out there that’s a little confused about the home buyer tax credit so I decided to do a little research. The tax credit signed by Obama applies to home purchases made on January 1, 2009 through April 30, 2010. As long as a binding sales contract is signed by April, 30, 2010, the buyer(s) have until June 30, 2010 to qualify for the tax credit.
Important Home Buyer Tax Credit Facts:
Qualified first time home buyer(s) can receive a tax credit of up to 10% of their home value or $8,000, whichever is less. Read more…
French luxury group, PPR, which controls Alexander McQueen through its Gucci Group, announced earlier today that the company will continue to build on the label as a tribute to the late Lee McQueen. Like a master artist whose pieces soar in value after his death, sales have increased 1,400% at the Alexander McQueen label.
I went through a phase not too long again where I was obsessed with Pinkberry. I would eat it almost every day. Meet my friends at one of the modernist shops. Have dessert there after dinner. Sometimes I would even order a second round after I devoured my first. And I even attempted to make my own Pinkberry Froyo at home with my icecream maker. I’m glad to say I have that all under control now.
Niecy Nash worked with celebrity organizer, Linda Cooper-Smith to organize Lindsay’s out-of-control clutter. Take a look at Part 1 of the big reveal here:
UPDATE*** – McQueen’s McQ presentation tonight at New York Fashion Week has been canceled.
No! NO! NOO! The fashion industry is in complete shock now. Earliest this morning, Alexander McQueen was found dead in his London home. While too early to confirm cause of dead, some publications are already reporting that it was a suicide. This is truly devastating. His McQ line is scheduled to be shown later this afternoon Fashion Week in Bryant Park.
Perusing through sample sales and clearance sales, one can easily pick up high quality designer goods for pennies on the dollar. The temptations are high but living in New York City where living spaces can easily fetch for upwards of $1,000 psf, it’s critical to know when to say no. Know your limits – both for your wallet and your closet. If it’s not going to fit in your closet – don’t get it. If you’re not going to wear it within the next 30 days – don’t get it. Remember, it’s much easier to hoard stacks of money than stacks and stacks of clothes and boxes and boxes of shoes. Take a look at this Lindsay Lohan interview with The Insider; it just might scare you straight.:
When three fashion titans - Karl Lagerfeld (Chanel), Phoebe Philo (Céline) and Marc Jacobs (Louis Vuitton) – all jump on the clog bandwagon, you can be sure its going to be huge trend that’s sure to trickle down to the mere mortals. Prada, Miu Miu, Yves Saint Laurent, Chloé and Max Mara have also includes clogs in their Spring/Summer 2010 collections. Top Shop currently has two styles on sale – Lottie and Lola. I bought a pair of Sergio Rossi suede clogs two years ago and have not found the opportunity to wear them. Tonight, I will be digging them out from way back in the closet.
What are your fashion trend predictions for 2010? I think tie dye will be hot. Red lipstick will be seen everywhere and purple will be the new black (again).
I just realized that I haven’t set any goals for the new year. I remember when I was a teenager I would set goals every January and by December, 90-100% of them would be accomplished. As an adult, I’m a failurer at keeping my new year resolutions. Chances are, I won’t get to most of them but it’s good to write them down anyway. And besides, I’m writing them down on this very public blog. We’ll do an audit in 2011 and see how far I got. How embarrassing would it be if I didn’t scratch anything off the list? Here’s my TOP TEN: Read more…
