| American Tale It seems unlikely that the son of a dressmaker and traveling hardware salesman would grow up to become one of the great American designers, but the life of Bill Blass is a surprising and charmed one indeed. Born in 1922 in Indiana, William Ralph Blass was instantly drawn to fashion and at age seventeen, he moved to New York to study at Parsons School of Design. Upon graduation, however, Blass was drafted to serve in the army, forcing him to put his fashion dreams on hold. Fortunately, after the war, Blass returned to the city more determined than ever. He soon built a reputation for his impeccable tailoring and sporty yet sophisticated designs. Blass creations became synonymous with simple glamour, and America's most stylish women, from Jackie Kennedy to Brooke Astor, flocked to his studio. Most recently one of fashion's newest darlings, Peter Som, lead the way at Bill Blass. Staying true to the label's roots in clean lines and exquisite structure, Som updated the looks to reflect his own refined sexiness. The resulting collections and accessories reveal a fresh twist on classic American style and prove that this American tale is still being written. This event is scheduled to start on Tuesday, January 13 at 11am for 1st Row members, noon for 2nd Row members. This event will run for 36 hours. ideeli prices for this event start at $152 bill blass - bill blass JAMES Bags women's collection ; men's clothing , bags,shoes, | ||||

150 pages
I'm plugging along here on this writing project I've started. The wonderful creative rush I had last month has vanished, but I'm working on getting my mojo back. Today was a good day. Yesterday it was like pulling teeth to just get a paragraph out, but today was a good day.
Milestone: I've reached page 150!! Admittedly, it's not entirely sequential; it's kind of in three parts right now and not one of those parts is the end. Still lots of story to tell. Not sure how long it will be when it's done. I'm excited again, and I'm glad I was able to talk myself out of the weak moments I had last week!
We all just have to root for ourselves sometimes, right? :)
I hope you're all rooting for yourselves this week. It's freezing fricking cold just about everywhere, so bundle up and have a great night!!

|  Shady Lady From the start, Egyptian-born Parisienne Gaby Aghion had a vision for a softer alternative to mainstream fashion. Surrounded by the stiff silhouettes of the 1950s, Aghion let her Bohemian spirit loose, joined forces with Jacques Lenoir and debuted the first Chloe collection in 1956 at the artist hangout Café de Flore. The looks reflected a fresh, feminine style that captured the new youthful energy in Paris. Ten years later, Karl Lagerfeld took the reigns as head designer, garnering a cult following of some of the most stylish women of the times. From Grace Kelly to Brigitte Bardot, fashion plates flocked to Chloe's ultra-romantic, luxurious daywear. As the label expanded, other brilliant designers led the way including Stella McCartney and Phoebe Philo. Each designer has updated the collections while remaining true to the casual elegance of the brand. From ready-to-wear to handbags to sunglasses, Chloe proves that even the most modern styles can befit the most feminine ladies. This event is scheduled to start on Thursday, January 15 at 11am for 1st Row members, noon for 2nd Row members. This event will run for 36 hours. ideeli prices for this event start at $75 | ||||

| Fashion?s First Family In the 1920s, when Adele and Edoardo Fendi ran a small shop in Rome, peddling fine leather and fur goods, they had no idea that one day it would become a global fashion powerhouse. By 2008, thanks to their five savvy and extremely stylish daughters: Paola, Carla, Anna, Franca and Alda, the Italian brand is coveted from here to Dubai. During their worldwide expansion, the Fendi sisters were clever enough to hire the legendary design guru Karl Lagerfeld, who helped create everything from housewares to handbags, including the famous baguette that launched a thousand look alikes and a few sample sale frenzies during its time. Fendi's signature double F logo stamped on all of their premium products, has lured celebrities from Mischa Barton to Sarah Jessica Parker to Kanye West, who once shaved the symbol into his head. Talk about brand loyalty. This event is scheduled to start on Thursday, January 15 at 11am for 1st Row members, noon for 2nd Row members.
