With outside temps pushing a bone-chilling 30 degrees, why on earth would I bother to venture out of my home office today, let alone shower? Then again, having just received an e-vite for tonight’s Key shopping soirée, a hipster SoHo-based clothing and accessory haven, I just might have to rethink my plans. Plus, I can still make it home in time to watch Lipstick Jungle (pathetic, I know).
Stop by tonight’s Key shopping extravaganza for VIP access to dreamy designers, schmoozing and sipping cocktails. Work your wardrobe with staples from Young Fabulous and Broke, Anlo and J Brand (my fave skinny jeans), along with must-have vintage shoes, baubles and clutches.
Enjoy a special 10% discount and don’t forget to tell all your friends!

In case you missed today’s Fashion Junkie Fix (gasp!), we featured Erin Snow – the hautest collection of women’s ski apparel this side of St. Moritz. Having just interviewed Erin Isakov herself, the talented designer behind the brand, we thought we’d share her top tips for looking and feeling great whether you’re tackling black diamond trails or sipping hot toddies during après ski.
• Comfort is key. Wear something in line with what you wear in the street so you feel like yourself on the slopes.
• Buy ski gear that’s appropriate for the climate. Invest in quality materials so you don’t freeze on the mountain. For example, if you’re planning a trip out West for spring skiing, invest in lighter-weight fabrics that allow your body to breathe. If you’re heading to
Quebec’s Mont Tremblant in the dead of winter, you’d better bundle up with fur trim (the Johanna coat) and Thermor-insulated pants (the Romy), which are meant to be layered on top of silks.
Whether you’re a pro or a novice, treat yourself to Erin Snow when you ski and you’re always guaranteed a peak performance. Visit erinsnow.com for more information. Happy shopping!

As a Shopping Editor, I’ve come across a lot of cool online resources in my time, but nothing compares to the functionality of LupRocks. A virtual showroom that connects fine jewelry and accessories designers directly to top editors and stylists throughout the U.S., LupRocks is a subscription-based service that, simply put… rocks! For example, paid “Siren” members can post bulletins on the “Desperately Seeking” section to avoid a last-minute showroom scramble when searching for specific items such as big cuff bracelets, chunky rings and necklaces for film sets and fashion spreads (I even came across a “private” post for Stacy London’s soon-to-air show, Fashionably Late… cool!). Whether you’re “desperately seeking” frame bags, over-sized sunglasses, fedoras or lockets, this luxe online resource has it all.
Even if you’re not a media maven, you can still benefit from LupRocks. Simply sign-in and browse through the impressive roster of categories (over 200 designer listings!), including belts, handbags, sunglasses, jewelry, hats, shoes, sunglasses and watches. Not only will you be up-to-date on all the latest and greatest finds (designer listings include bios and corresponding product photos), but you’ll also be the first to know about upcoming trunkshows and other fun-filled industry events. Visit LupRocks.com for more information.
In case you’re wondering, the beautiful baubles featured in the above photo are by Kimberly Baker.
