Today was the launch of Madonna’s Material Girl Collection at Macy’s and I along with my new assistant/photographer Julianne headed over to Macy’s for this event. We arrived around 9:45 and I was surprised that there was no line, but that’s because I was at a different entrance, the entrance for the collection was on Broadway and I was on 7th. Anyway, doors opened at 10 and a crowd began to pour in as many of the shoppers headed to the 4th floor Juniors department. There were so many people and cameras it was definitely a media frenzy. Here are photos of the collection and the event and also my review and the items I purchased in a Youtube Video

The Material Girl is spontaneous and Fearless.
She loves to shop and she mixes her fast fashion with designer pieces.
She invents her own fashion trends and is never afraid to make a bold creative statement.
Influenced by her eclectic taste in music, dance and Hollywood.
The wait is over for the most anticipated launch of the summer, “Material Girl” by the original Material Girl herself Madonna, and daughter Lourdes (Lola). There will be prizes and giveaways at the launch, but you have to get there early!
The first 200 people on line will receive a bandeau top from the collection and a $10 giftcard to shop the collection. Those who show up in their best “Material Girl” inspired outfit will win an autographed t-shirt by Madonna. This deal is only offered in 6 cities and of course NYC is one of them!
The celebration continues later that evening around 5pm with a special appearance and live performance by actress and singer, Taylor Momsen only in New York.
Some may feel this line is a bit “young” but there are great pieces in this collection that can update your look without you looking like a teeny bopper. The key is knowing the right pieces to mix and match. They have a great motorcycle jacket that can be paired with a pair of skinny jeans and a simple t-shirt or their collection of rings can update any look.
About Material Girl:
The “Material Girl” collection was inspired and designed in collaboration with Madonna and her daughter Lourdes, along with Iconix Brand Group’s in-house fashion department. In addition to the back-to-school apparel collection, “Material Girl” will also launch in multiple categories including footwear, handbags and jewelry. The collection will retail from $12.00 to $40.00, comparative with pricing strategies at junior specialty stores. The strategy for growth will include additional categories in the lifestyle and beauty sectors, including fragrance, beginning 2011 as well as a rollout into additional Macy’s stores.

So Saturday, I went to Macy*s for their one day sale and magically found my way to their shoe department. I was looking through the sales rack and saw these shoes on the adjacent wall. The original price was $59.00 and the sale price said $49.00 which isn’t bad and plus I had a $10 off coupon for purchase $25 or more. When I got to the register my total was $19.50! These were a total steal.
I love the multicolored print. These shoes can be worn with just about anything. I have a few looks I am dying to try with these. They are very comfortable and the 3 3/4 inch stacked heel is perfect. I will post pics when I wear them.

Macy*s is having a great in store sale! Buy 2 bras, get 2 FREE! That is a fantastic deal!
Ladies we all know that a perfect look starts with the first layer and that means our underwear. Please ask a sales associate in the lingerie department to do a bra fitting. There is nothing worse than wearing a great top or dress, with an ill-fitting bra. There are also different types of bras for different purposes. Regular bras should not be worn with racer back tanks….I don’t care what is “in style” it looks pretty tacky.
To read about the various bra types and their purposes click here and don’t forget to head over to Macy*s for the sale.
