Luxury Goods Enters the Mass Market via the Internet
Luxury, once reserved for the richest members of our society, has gone mass market. Thank Target. Thank cable television. But most of all, thank the Internet.
In a recent New York Times article, Cathy Horyn wrote “If mass retailing has been transformed by the availability of better-designed products, like Michael Graves teapots at Target, class has been transformed by technology and a consumer who is as well informed as she is impatient to have the latest gaud. Half the purchases on Neiman Marcus’s Web site are by customers who do not live near one of its actual stores, said ...
Read MoreOverstock.com Deals: Puffy Fur Jackets

Read MoreLast Call Neiman Marcus Outlet
So, I am shopping yesterday with my mother and my mother-in-law at the Jersey Garden Mall (we were just too lazy to head out to Woodbury). Jersey Gardens is a huge outlet mall located minutes from the Newark Airport and a block or two from the Elizabeth IKEA, the first IKEA in North America. I took them to Last Call Neiman Marcus, an essential store for fashionistas over 40, where we spent an hour and a half trying on 52 items (true!) between the three of us. Of course only seven of those items fit. It is almost like you have to try on 10 items just to find one that fits.

Read MoreNew York City’s Garment District is My Friend
Today is perhaps the worst day to shop—but being the Budget Fashionista I was at the stores. Skipping over the ridiculously long lines at the Mall, I headed to the garment district in NYC with my Mom and Mother-in-Law in tow. Being fashionistas from the midwest (Minnesota and Michigan, respectively), they were eager to get their hands on one-of-a-kind goodies from the Big Apple. Luckily, the district did not disappoint.
The key to shopping the garment district (from about 32nd to 39th St., 7th to 10th Ave) is walk east/west between the various avenues. On these “side streets” are ...

Read MoreSEARS and KMART Merge..
I was all set to rave about the Karl Lagerfeld line at H&M, until I saw the above headline. K-Mart and SEARS merge, which I guess means that Land’s End also merges with K-Mart. So does this mean that Martha Stewart will be designing gingham covered tool boxes? The merge cost $11 billion dollars—10.9999 billion more than I have in the bank—which seems a little cheap for the merging together of two US shopping institutions.
