Circa Now, my favorite Manhattan stomping ground for emerging labels and gently used frocks, is throwing an in-store shindig next Thursday in honor of their 4th-year anniversary. Aside from an open bar and jammin’ DJ beats, Circa Now will also be discounting all their vintage wares up to 50% off!
Despite the boutique’s pint-sized space, Circa Now carries a surprisingly large assortment of coveted labels, making it all too easy to drain your savings account (trust me on this one!). Having ventured inside the store numerous times after dining down the street at Frank (my favorite Italian resto), I’ve managed to fill my closet with a host of flirty dresses, butt-firming vintage blues, haute handbags, belts, baubles and dreamy Dolce Vita pumps (my latest impulse purchase).
If you’d like to stop by next Thursday’s Circa Now anniversary soirée, please make sure to RSVP to Kendall Roberts at kendall@circanownyc.com
Hope to see you there!

In the shameless act of self-promotion, I thought I’d share the latest Fashion Junkie profile with everyone. Our friends at CouponCowgirl.com – a sassy social shopping site, posted this kickin’ FJ overview. Yee haw!
“Plenty of folks online are handing out fashion advice nowadays, but few have the credentials to back it up. This is so NOT the case with fashion blogger, Dara Fleischer. Dara’s resume is impressive to say the least, and lucky for us she shares her knowledge on her fashion and beauty website, FashionJunkie.com. If you’re at all fashion-challenged, you’ll want to check out Dara’s Re-Tales Blog on FashionJunkie.com for great styling tips.
Dara also maintains a position as iVillage.com’s Shopping Editor and manages the site’s Steals & Deals blog. Being discount-seekers ourselves, we love this!
Be sure to check out both sites and say goodbye to your “fashion victim” days.”

With all these weird hot and cold weather fluctuations we’ve been facing (gotta love global warming!), who knows what to wear? That’s why during the day, I don multiple layers that can easily be peeled off and always top off my look with a timeless trench – a must for combating those pesky April showers. With so many stunning styles on the market this season (from flashy metallic to shimmery nylon to punch patent), I thought I’d reveal my top 5 picks.
In case you were wondering, I happen to be the proud owner of the haute gunmetal Mackage coat. I’m curious… which of these trenches would you buy? Since this blogging thing is a two-way street, I’d love for you to share your thoughts with the rest of the Fashion Junkie community!
Make the most of Monsoon-like downpours with this traffic-stopping Mackage trench. The signature oversized collar, asymmetrical button front and leather trim adds a touch of drama to any daytime look. Plus, the gorgeous gunmetal hue stands out no matter how hazy the forecast. Mackage Single-Breasted Trenchcoat in Gunmetal, $528, available at saksfifthavenue.com
Looking to add a shot of shimmer to your spring wardrobe? This ultra lightweight and breathable nylon topper should do the trick! I’m a fan of the punchy sapphire shade, which also magically conceals those unexpected mud stains. Mike & Chris Nylon Trench in Sapphire, $391, available at revolveclothing.com
For a contemporary take on the classic trench, opt for punchy patents like this 3.1 Phillip Lim ivory masterpiece. Although made from creamy glazed cotton, dirt stains can instantly be swiped off with… I kid you not, Windex! 3.1 Phillip Lim Patent Trench, $625, available at netaporter.com
This luxe laminated trench will make you grin, no matter how gloomy the forecast. And since glazed linen never creases, it’s also the ideal travel companion. Add a pair of metallic gold pumps and you’re ready to tear up the town. Elie Tahari Laminated Trench, $450, available at Nordstrom.com
This faux-patent raincoat is so slick, you’ll even want to don it on the sunniest of days. My favorite feature is the mod-inspired pink stripe, which gives the illusion of a nipped-in waist. The best part: you’ll never have to worry about losing a belt! Cynthia Steffe ‘Cassie’ Colorblock Raincoat, $450, available at Nordstrom.com
