DRESSES DRESSES DRESSES

Eight in total. Four BCBG dresses, one Calvin Klein, one Kay Unger, one Chetta B, one Nicole Miller. PAYDIRT! I love buying dresses! The only one that is not as practical as a day into evening dress would be the Kay Unger as it red and the style of the dress is slightly more formal than the others. I can't wait to wear them all! If I've said it once, I've said it a thousand times, dresses are so easy to wear. Just slip it on, put on a good pair of shoes and you're ready to go. No fumbling around, changing outfits one million times, because something, "just doesn't look right". In the summer months you simply put on a pair of casual and trendy wedges for a day look and in the evening all that you have to do is put on a sexy little open toed pump for a more elegant look. In the winter a stacked heel boot always goes from day into evening quite nicely. If it were up to me, I would live in dresses. What about you? Do you love dresses too?

PAINT!! and the loser who likes to play it

That's what my brother went out on in the WSOP. Some overweight, bald idiot decided to call my brother's pocket kings with his PAINT! What kind of loser are you that you play your paint in the WSOP, huh? You're a pathetic excuse for a man, if I were you I'd probably let myself go to shit too, I mean what girl other than a fag hag or Liza would want to have anything to do with a female like you?

I can just hear what you sounded like, "But I got paint, I figured I'd suck out."

Fat and bald, no wonder you're good at that.

GUCCI SANDALS

Aren't they pretty? I went to the Gucci boutique yesterday with my mother thinking that I wasn't going to find anything that I liked, and look what I found. And you won't believe what I paid for them!!!!!!!!! Ready? $159.00!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yes, that's right, and I WASN'T shopping at no Gucci outlet either. I was at the Gucci boutique. The regular retail price on my shoe box reads $794 or $798 if I remember correctly. Then apparently they were marked down to just under $400.00. When I found them yesterday the price read $159.00 and I did a double take then quickly told the salesgirl that I would take a pair in the white in a size 8. They also had a pair in brown, but since I just very recently purchased 2 pairs of Stewart Weitzman wedges both in brown, I decided that adding a third brown strappy wedge was not the way to go.

What an unexpected and delightful find!

WSOP UPDATE & SHOPPING UPDATE

First, I'm going to update on Brother's status in the WSOP tournament. There were 3000 players at the start of today's tournament, now going into the second half of the day there are approximately 500 players remaining, one of who is Fashion Plus Jewelry's little brother, well at almost one foot taller than yours truly, I can't really use the word little anymore to describe him.

According to Brother, he's made some, "sick" calls. Calling one all-in bluff after another. The tournament has just broken for a 90 minute dinner recess, and Not-So-Little-Brother, sounds as if he snorted a line a coke, but he didn't, he's just high off of poker. Phil Helmuth, Clonie Gowen, Jimmy Tran, Jennifer Tilly, Kenna James, Phil Lakk, Phil Gordon, Shannon Elizabeth and Antonio Esfandiari can be counted among the 2500 players who didn't make it to the second half of the tournament. But guess what, FPJ's brother is still in!

To go into great detail regarding today's shopping expedition seems pointless after talking about my brother and his continued and hopefully long life in the WSOP, so here are just a few highlights from today's fashionista adventures:

2 Ralph Lauren Mens Dress Shirts
1 Ralph Lauren Mens Pajama pants
Donald J. Pliner Ballet Flats
3 Estee Lauder Eye Pencils
1 Estee Lauder Intensive Lifting Creme (Large Size SILVER Bottle)
1 Estee Lauder Pore Minimizing Lotion
1 Mens T-Shirt
Lingerie for me

Also, should Brother make it to the final table, I will be flying out to Vegas. But unfortunately, that ticket is probably going to cost around $2,000 because I would be purchasing it less than 24 hours in advance and that isn't even going to be business class. In case you're wondering what of Brother's gf, she was, "blinded-out" and shares the same distinction as the above mentioned eliminated celebreties.

If you'd like to show your support for FPJ's little bro, why not drop him a line in the comments section, he'd love to hear from you, and maybe he'll even mention your name when he wins first prize!

JEWELRY SHOPPING AND WSOP

So, I purchased some jewerly today, a few bracelets and a pair of earrings to be exact. I purchased two Monet bracelets and one Givenchy bracelet, naturally they were not on sale. One of the Monet bracelets is made of rhinestones as is the Givenchy. The other Monet is a casual bracelet, but just as pretty. I also purchased a pair of Monet loveknots that are 18ktp for my mother's, "I can't go, I can't find my loveknots!" moments that are quite frequent. I was in the mood to purchase some other pieces but alas, that was not in the cards for me today, so I hopped in the car to go to Neiman's, Hubby needed a new pair of swimming trunks.

At Neimans I found a wonderful selection of long and short trunks for my dear Hubby. I purchased two pairs of the Ralph Lauren trunks in different sizes since I don't know for certain which one will fit him. Should they both fit, perhaps he'd like to keep them both, besides it would save him from having to make a return.

Tomorrow, we're going to John F. Kennedy International Airport bright and early. Brother and his girlfriend are off on a romantic 13-day romp to the gambling capitol of the world, Las Vegas, and we're fortunate enough to have to take them both to that very out of the way airport, instead of the perfectly lovely international airport that we have but a mere 10 minutes from our home in the suburban northeast. I know what you're thinking. Thirteen days? That's too long to spend in Vegas! You just try explaining that to this pair of young poker-playing lovebirds with dreams of winning big and see if they'll listen. Both Brother and his other half have registered for the WSOP, (World Series of Poker)for those of you who who are not familiar with this acronym.

As when any member of our family leaves our home if for even a 10 minute run to the supermarket, calling home is a requirement. Assuredly, I can tell you that this cross country trip for Mama's little baby bird is no exception. I'll be sure to keep you abreast on any breaking news that we hear from our sibling male fashionista as soon as it develops. Additionally, I would like to add that I don't encourage or promote excessive gambling which is exactly what is about to take place less than 24hrs from now. I do however promote fashion at any venue. That's why Brother has been outfitted with a whole new wardrobe for this little excursion. No, I will not give a crackhead crack, an alcoholic a glass of whiskey, or a gambler gambling money. I will however make certain that every member of my family is stylish and fashion forward, no matter how wretched the individual, (promiscuous, back-stabbing, blond-headed cousins take note).

PLAYING WITH FIRE

Never say that you're, "just going to look" in regards to shopping. That's what I did when I had a few moments to spare and lo and behold, I ordered some more dresses. What do you think?

Pretty, no? Actually, I ordered 3 dresses but I can't seem to find the third's picture.

Let the wait begin.

NORDSTROM L.A.M.B SHOPPING

So, I got lazy today. Shoot me. I've had a very busy weekend. And because of that, I stayed home today. But I did manage to order some L.A.M.B - For those of you that don't know what I am talking about L.A.M.B stands for LOVE ANGEL MUSIC BABY and it is Gwen Stefani's clothing and accessory line.

I didn't order too many pieces because quiet honestly I don't walk around in sweats and tees. I'm a fashionista. But, since I'm a member of a co-ed health club, I find myself in the unenviable position of caring about what I wear to go work out. Oh how I long for the days of my all female gym. But alas, that gym and I are history as is the ex-boyfriend who gifted me the long-term membership only to later stop paying my dues when we parted ways. Why oh why don't I live near a womens only gym? But I digress, let me tell you why I ordered these tees.

First let me start off by saying, that I don't believe for a second that anyone is looking at me as I sweat like a pig with no makeup and my hair up in a bun as I painstakingly try to convince my gelatin-like legs that increasing the speed on my treadmill by another 1mph for one more excruciating mile uphill is going to make any difference on my figure, nevertheless I still feel just a touch self-conscious. Again, I am keenly aware that there are far skinnier and far prettier than I at my gym, but I still can't help caring about the way I look while there. When I was a member of an all female gym, it was much different. ANY old ratty shirt, that made me look about 70 pounds heavier than I actually was would do just fine, I mean ANY old ratty shirt. Thank God that this gym does not offer cardio classes of any kind, because I could not imagine taking an advanced aerobics class in front of dozens of gawking male eyes as my bouncing oversized breasts give the incorrect appearance of being braless. Since, I have at least for the moment, no other alternative than to continue however infrequently to patronize Co-ed Gym, I must submit to the pressures of this, (I say this jokingly of course) unjust society. Hence the L.A.M.B wear. Again, this is just for the gym.

Over $500 later, I doubt that I will feel any less self-conscious about exercising in front of the opposite sex the next time that I try to do a 20 minute walk-run with alternating hills.

SWEATER SETS, BOBBI BROWN, JEWELRY

That's basically what I bought today. A black BCBG sweater set, Bobbi Brown tweazers, (they were for Mom as I somehow lost hers)2 Bobbi Brown eyeliners in the little jar, ( I can't remember it's proper name) and 2 eyeliner brushes. I also bought some jewelry. I bought a hammered gold bracelet, a DKNY wide rhinestone studded watch, (for nights out), and a pair of Argento Vivo earrings. All in all a pretty good day. I wish that I could have shopped more, but I had to go home to get ready for my date with Hubby. The salesgirl at the Bobbi Brown counter said that the eyeliner that she recommended and that I subsequently purchased was smudge-proof and won't rub off during the day. I'll let you know what I think of this new eyeliner in the coming week. In her words, "You could swim with this and it won't come off." We'll see. I have decided to switch from using the Estee Lauder liquid eyleliner in the nailpolish-like bottle. I love Estee Lauder, but I hate the way that their liquid eyeliner completely disappears after only a few short hours and having to reapply the eyeliner 3 times a day. Hopefully the BB stuff will turn out to be just what I'm looking for.

SATELLITE PARTY ON CARSON DALY

If you didn't catch Satellite Party on Carson last night you missed one masterpiece of a performance. Call NBC and get a copy of last night's show, because Satellite Party is the best band around anywhere. The energy conveyed from Perry and the rest of the Satellite Party gang as they rocked Carson's stage was E-L-E-C-T-R-I-C! I was at home in my comfy, yet sexily fashionista, Hello Kitty spaghetti strap top and shorts pajama set and yet I literally felt like I was in the front row.


Perry as usual was everything that we know and love. Exuberant, sexy, and nothing short of perfect as he mesmerized Carson's audience, (actually Satellite Party's audience, because by the sounds of the screams from awestruck fans it didn't take much to know who that audience was there to see, sorry Carson sweetie)with his positively poetic lyrics. Do you really think that it's a coincidence that Perfection is spelled P-e-r-r-y?

To Perry's immediate right was Carl Restivo. I have one word to describe Carl - HOT. Attention Ford Models,Inc: We have your new blond Adonis! But Carl isn't just some pretty face, he has talent with a capital, "T". Carl is Flea, Les Claypool, and Geddy Lee all rolled into one big sizzling hot package. Carl's vocals were the perfect compliment to Perry's. I can see why Carl is such a coveted bassist and why he has played with such artists as Wycleff Jean, DJ KNS and Extreme. Speaking of Extreme, let's talk about some Nuno.

Nuno Bettencourt, co-producer on Ultra Payloaded, was to Perry's left. Nuno is the sultriest guitarist that I have ever laid eyes on. Maybe it's because he has classic bad boy looks. Maybe it's because no-one can come close to Nuno on the guitar. Maybe its because that perfectly synchronized deep voice of his is what makes the ladies still cry over him, a decade after EXTREME. And allow me to assure you this, there is no difference between the Nuno then and the Nuno now, it's as if time has stood still for Nuno. He still makes the ladies want surrender to his unmatched musical talent and bad-?#!looks.

Etty Farrell, a triple threat with her beauty, dancing ability, and vocals was positioned directly behind Perry. The old adage is so true and quite evident here. Behind every man is a good woman. Rock on sister!

Last, but not at all least, was Kevin Figueiredo in the back on drums, his presence every bit Oz-like. Although I did not have my surround sound turned on so as not to wake the neighbors, Kevin made me reconsider not using my wireless headphones as he mastered every beat, making each one sound as if I were lucky enough to be right there in the audience. I may require the using of an assisted hearing device from now on, but I don't care. Kevin's rugged profile not only makes me forget about my new hearing loss, it makes me want to see more of him, NOW.

Make sure that you don't miss the next few nights of Satellite Party on NBC's Last Call with Carson Daly. I'm certain that after turning down the lights and shutting off your TV you'll have very pleasant dreams.

BERGDORF GOODMAN CATALOG SHOPPING

I'm hoping that sometime over the weekend I will be able to flip through the new Bergdorf's catalog. It arrived in my mailbox on Monday and has been sitting atop my desk unattended and neglected ever since. What a bad mommy I am to my BG cattie. Does it at least count that I've been wanting to look through her divinely fabulous pages filled with pictures of must have jewelry, purses and clothing? I doubt that intention is something that the abandoned can empathize with. But don't worry your pretty oversized-pages my precious BG cattie, Mama will be along soon enough to shower you with all the love and attention that you deserve. Hey, maybe we can even call some of your friends from a few of your glossy pages and see if any of them would like to come over and play with us? If you're a good little catalog maybe Mommy can have them all come over as soon as tomorrow.

SAKS FIFTH AVENUE PANTS & ELLEN TRACY BLAZER

First, I'd like to start off by saying, "Thanks Mom!!!" to my wonderful mother who bought these items for me today at SFA. Mother has great taste and is the quintesential fashionista. Mom didn't see anything that she liked today at Bloomie's, despite the coupon, so we headed over to Saks. Mom spotted a pair of SFA pants for me and an Ellen Tracy blazer. The pants fit beautifully and the Ellen Tracy blazer was of course, perfect. We also picked up some more shirts for Hubby, and Dad. Hubby loves the pocketed long sleeved RL button down shirts for his business casual office, and as an obedient God-fearing wife, I picked up just what he had requested. Mom purchased a SFA round-neck blouse for herself along with some new lingerie,(but not the sexy kind). I also managed to purchase a pair 18kt loveknot earrings for myself for those days when I need to be conservative. The loveknots are not small, but they are not long. The sit right on the tip of my ear covering most of that area. All in all a very fun shopping day.

WHY DID YOU SEND ME 8 $25.00 COUPONS BLOOMINGDALES?

Why oh why did you send me so many coupons for the Private Sale Bloomie's? I didn't need to see you again, but you forced me. I was short on time today, so I only picked up 4 pairs of shoes for myself. One Stewart Weitzman wedge sandal, two Via Spiga open toe pumps, one Enzo Angiolini sling-back. In total I used half of my coupons today, which leaves me with yet 4 more $25.00 off of $100.00 coupons. While there I also purchased 4 Ralph Lauren shirts for my father, but I did not use the aforementioned coupons as I had two $15.00/$70.00 coupons that were on the verge of expiring. As I remember some of the purchases from my M.I.A status I will post accordingly.

Me: Hi, My name is Fashion Plus Jewelry and I am a purse addict.

You: Hi Fashion Plus Jewelry, welcome.

Me: Yeah, I started out at first like everyone else I guess, just buying high-end bags such as Gucci and LV once in a while, but then I found that I needed them more and more. Then I moved on to buying no-name bags, that's when I knew that I had a problem.

You: But you're here now because you know that you need help, and admitting it is the first step on the road to recovery.

Me: Oh, I'm not here cause I want help, I'm just here because I wanted to share my _ _ _ _.

A. Bags

B. Finds

C. Luck

D. Herb

You: (losing your 12-step voice) Ooooh, me me me! I want to share, share with me. Me me me, only me, (as you wipe drool from the bottom of your chin).

SATELLITE PARTY AT XM AND HIGHLINE BALLROOM

I'm sooo sorry for the long delay between posts, I had an extremely busy last week. As you all know, last Sunday I went to XM radio's recording of Satellite Party on Artist Confidential. The recording took place on the fifth floor of the jazz building on Columbus Circle. Being part of such a small audience, (under 100 guests) to see Satellite Party perform is an absolutely memorable experience. It's even more amazing when your friend is a member of the band.

The format of the show was a seven song set with Q & A in between songs. Perry and the band started off the evening by playing, "KINKY" from their new album entitled, "Ultra Payloaded". This first song was followed by a few questions from George Taylor Morris. After Perry cheerfully answered George's questions the band played, "INSANITY RAINS". I can honestly say, and I NEVER say this, that I love all of the songs on this CD however, "INSANITY RAINS" is my absolute favorite. Perry was kind enough to explain the storyline behind the concept album, which had everyone in the audience riveted. Perry is that rarest breed of genuinely friendly celebrity, gifted artist and performer that is just about unheard of today. Next, came "HARD LIFE EASY" which made some Satellite Party fanatics compete over who the bigger groupie was via a, "HARD LIFE EASY"/Satellite Party/ Perry/ Nuno/Carl/Kevin inspired dancing trance. Perry then cordially answered a question from an audience member. "WISH UPON A DOG STAR" "MILKY AVENUE" and "ONLY LOVE, LET'S CELEBRATE" followed with the audience on the edge of Satellite Party ecstasy as Perry, Nuno and Carl punished those mics, and guitars. I didn't think it could get any better or the fans any more jubilant until the band broke into Jane's Addiction's "STOP". That's when pandemonium hit, heads banging standing room only pandemonium.

Hubby and I hung around to meet up with our friend as the crowd departed. We chatted for a minute as our friend signed autographs and received well-wishes from adoring fans. We agreed to meet up again later in the evening after the band recorded a few intros. Deciding that it would be convenient to meet up in the building rather than somewhere downtown we found the Stone Rose Lounge one flight down. It was the perfect place to meet up with our celebrity friend. Dimly lit, quiet and just intimidating enough to keep away any uninviteds. We ordered some food for everyone to nibble on and wine, (a wonderful German Reisling). After chatting and eating, and some light drinking we drove our friend home, a.k.a - the hotel. It was a rather late night, and we were gladly doing it all over again in less than 24 hours.

Monday night we went to see Satellite Party play a sold-out performance at the Highline Ballroom. We arrived a touch early so we stopped around the corner for a drink at Craftsteak where we enjoyed another wonderful Reisling. Reisling is definitely my new drink of choice. After a quick glass of my new fav we walked a few steps to Highline. Despite the typical loser attitude and difficult to understand english spoken by the worker confirming names on the guest list we were still able to get in with a few minutes to spare. We went upstairs, met up with some friends and ordered some drinks. A house glass of wine was undrinkable after the Reisling at Craftsteak. Even my husband's glass of domestic beer tasted better than this autrocity. But I digress, let me tell a little bit more the venue and the performance.



Monday was such a different atmosphere compared with the night before. We were looking down from the second floor lounge at a crowd of over 700 screaming fans as Satellite Party took the stage. The full set list was:


KINKY
INSANITY RAINS
HARD LIFE EASY
WISH UPON A DOG STAR
MR. SUNSHINE
STOP
ONLY LOVE, LET'S CELEBRATE
MILKY AVENUE
MOUNTAIN SONG
ULTRA PAYLOADED SATELLITE PARTY
AIN'T NO RIGHT

The crowd was rocking to every song, including the Jane's Addiction songs. Seeing them play in such opposite settings was incredible. The first night was a relaxed and personal show. The second night was a wild and rompous musical delight as the band fed off of the energy of sold-out crowd.

Satellite Party is now on tour in Europe for a month. Upon their return, they will begin their U.S. tour, which I'm certain will render one sold-out performance after another.

BTW Fashionista, if you weren't able to attend either of the above mentioned performances, were you able to catch Satellite Party on Howard Stern, or David Letterman? If you didn't, not to worry. I believe they will be on Carson Daly for 4 nights starting tonight, make sure to Tivo it if you're away from home.

Also, did you know that Ultra Payloaded is getting more and more difficult to locate? I tried to purchase the CD yesterday for a friend who's birthday is at the end of this month, and no such luck, it was sold-out. I guess I'll have to order it on-line. Get yours soon before you're left behind, something a real fashionista would never do.

We at Fashion Plus Jewelry wish Kevin, Jen, Carl, Nunno, Etty, Perry and all of the Satellite Party family all of the success in the world.

TELL ME THIS DOESN'T LOOK LIKE A MATERNITY DRESS

With a pending international trip on the horizon, to an EXTREMELY fashionable local where even more EXTREMELY fashionable women reside, finding perfect dresses that are versatile, elegant and flattering is imperative.

Take a look at this dress, it was featured on the front page of NM's dress page. What???? The world's leading fashion headquarters for the discerning fashionista implies that this is their best dress right now, by making it a leading feature? What is wrong with you? I want a few questions answered. Who selected this piece to be featured on the front page of your dress section? Who approved this person's selection? Because there always is someone above you, no matter who you are. And yes, while some like this pregnancy-look, guess what? Do you know what the majority of women think when they see this dress on your site? Everyone together now: They carry maternity in their dress department?

Come now Neimans Sweetheart, we expect more from you.

FYI - Not even pregnant women like these dresses. Haven't you seen all of the pregnant bellies sporting cropped sleeveless blouses?

DRESSES AND POSSIBLE CONTENDERS

So, I bought more than I thought that I would today, but that's okay. Actually, it's always okay. I bought 7 dresses today, (I also purchased 2 blouses and one Tommy Bahama cropped vest, but who cares? I'm here to talk about my new dressies). The most memorable being this POSITIVELY GORGEOUS RUNWAY Calvin Klein linen dress. I also snagged a Nicole Miller silk, a BCBG (cotton?) a Chetta B, a Kay Unger, another dress that I can't remember who designed, and a Ralph Lauren linen. (For those of you new to the world of fashion, a.k.a - boyfriend, husband, life partner, SO - BCBG and Ralph Lauren carry both petites and womens plus sizes). It's very very rare that I hit paydirt to this degree when I buy dresses, but guess what girls? CHA-CHING!!! PAYDIRT!!! Really, there was no way to say no to these dresses. It's been SEASONS since I've found dresses that are decent looking and pretty. By decent I mean not looking like something that you would buy at a swapmeet or at a discount mega-store. (Why are the majority of dresses following this swapmeety-cheap-look and feel while being priced at a minimum of $300?) Imagine my delight when I came upon dress after dress with classic styles and perfect lines. There was little that I could do from not falling on the floor, curling up in a ball and giggling uncontrollably like a mental patient from the sheer joy of finding these treasures. Now, imagine the look on my face when I discovered that these dresses looked as good on as they did hanging. To be honest, some even looked better once I slipped them on! That never happens!! So, all in all I purchased 7 dresses. Hubby was with me and approved of them all. Now, to pass the Mom test. I think this time I will finally pass. Stay Tuned. BTW, at least 4 of those dresses are contenders for tomorrow night's engagement and for Monday's concert. Thank you God.

WHERE ARE YOU GOING TO BE WED JUNE 6TH?

I know where I'll be bright and early on Wednesday, the Nordstrom half-yearly sale. Now, as you, my loyal readers all know, I'm not one of these girls that say, "Oh, I'll just wait until that goes on sale" for various reasons already noted in previous posts. Still, I'm somewhat excited about Wednesday's sale. For quite sometime now, I haven't been the world's biggest Nordstrom fan, even though I still shop there. Perhaps their buyers have changed, perhaps I've changed. I can't really put my finger on it, but in my opinion despite a few very select pieces Nordstrom seems to be carrying a selection of clothing in a quality that I am not at all fond of. Let me repeat, they still carry St. John, (which I wear and love) Hugo Boss, Faconabble and the like, but what seems to be designers with questionable fabric selections appear to predominate. Maybe it's just me. I'm sure those that like these cheap-o fabrics and makes would passionately disagree.

EARRINGS

One of my babies was sick yesterday, so Hubby and I decided not to go out on our usual Friday date, and since we stayed home, guess what I managed to do? Yep, that's right, I shopped. I was flipping through the channels when I came across QVC, they carry Joan Rivers award-winning jewelry. I ordered the, "today's special value" earrings on auto-delivery. I'll get two sets, one now and one in August. It's like you're getting all of those earrings for almost $3.00 each!! What a bargain! I hope they look as good in person as they did on TV last night. Oh, in August, the outer part will be sent to me in enamal and of course with different inserts. Hooray for Joan Rivers, I love her! I saw her perform in NYC last year, she was just fabulous!!!! I think they sold out of the earrings, and that is why I posted pics of the necklace, but the earrings that I purchased look just like the pendant.

NORDSTROM FREE GIFT

If you have to purchase any beauty or fragrance product, don't forget to go to Nordstrom.com to place your order, so that you get the free gift with a purchase of $95.00 or more, also if you order for Estee Lauder totals more than $35.00 you also get a gift from them too. You just have to call it in rather than order on line if you are ordering both gifts because it doesn't show your Lauder gift on check out. Needless to say that I'm getting both gifts. I can't wait!
