dollhouse 5-pocket skinnies

Dollhouse 5-Pocket Skinnies. Low rise. Super-slimming. Black stretch denim. For today, "licorice" stretch denim. Too much of a stretch? I had to work it into today's theme...

One of our top-selling styles on dollhouse.com.

The Haunted House trio of products by Philosophy [image from Sephora]

Thanks to the Seventeen style blog, I found out about Haunted House by Philosophy, a trio of holiday flavors to make you feel and smell great. The set includes three six-ounce bottles of Pumpkin Spice Muffin (!), Caramel Apple, and Black Licorice high foaming shampoo, shower gel, and bubble bath. Please note: each product can be used as a shampoo, shower gel or bubble bath. How versatile!

pumpkin muffins at pain quotidien

Last year around this time, I had a hankering for a pumpkin muffin... After a city-wide search, stopping in every deli and bakery within a 40-block radius (I kid you not), I came up with nothing. Until yesterday!

Found: pumpkin muffins (organic!) at Pain Quotidien near Bryant Park. Price: $2.60

I told you there would be pumpkin-related posts today. Happy Halloween!

the broadway beach

Broadway, yes "The" Broadway, now converted to an outdoor parkland of sorts.
Photographed from 40th Street, looking uptown towards Times Square.

If you have not been to NYC in awhile, you may be surprised to find that Broadway, between 18th and 42nd Streets, has been converted to an outdoor cafe of sorts. I can't explain it. People seem to really enjoy relaxing at the cafe tables, amongst the potted plants, despite the truck fumes. Hmm.

dollhouse "gage" gladiator bootie

Gage Gladiator Bootie, $99. on dollhouse.com

The "Gladiator" style shoe (it's more of a sandal-meets-boot really) has been popping up in the most fashionable places lately, including New York Fashion Week at Bryant Park, and the Chanel Art Pavilion in Central Park. And yes I have been doing a bit of blogging about it, because I think I have become slightly obsessed. How can you not notice this style, after all?

If you have been checking our Website every other minute of the day, you may have noticed Dollhouse Footwear making its debut today on our E-SHOP! Yes it is true. The Gladiator can be yours too. Gage Gladiator Bootie, $99. on dollhouse.com.

Bubble Calendar, handmade in Brooklyn
A poster-sized calendar with a bubble to pop every day

I found this calendar on a cute fashion blog called Being High Maintenance... this morning and had to share. Both the calendar and the blog are pretty cool. Click on all the links to explore.

This calendar is huge (48" x 18"). Available in landscape or portrait.

trend spotting in central park

The gladiator shoe is popping up all over. Spotted at the Chanel Art Pavilion in Central Park this past Sunday.

Please note: to tour this temporary spacecraft-like art installation,
designed by Zaha Hadid, you must have reserved a free ticket already,
because now they are all sold out. Another option: get in line in the
morning and hope for cancellations. You have a pretty-much
guaranteed chance of getting in, but you may have to wait over an hour.

teen vogue fashion university runway show!

Teen Vogue Fashion University 2008 from Dollhouse Blog on Vimeo.
Click to share.

The Teen Vogue Fashion University event on Friday night was so much fun, and "high voltage" as promised. The runway show was beautiful. Dollhouse was treated to a VIP view from the balcony at Webster Hall. Great for people-watching, and fashion trend-spotting. The most popular fashion accessory was, hands down, the skinny headband. Especially red headbands with ruched fabric roses. Very Chanel. Anyway, please enjoy the photos and the 50 second video we made of the Runway Show. The music, added for the video, is by Toronto's electronic pop-trio, Bleep.

Feel free to share the video! Click this link to share.

paris for president!

Paris Hilton is featured on the November 2008 issue of Nylon,
on newsstands now. We like the way they styled the tee.

Only 7 days and about 15 hours left! Competition is heating up with those "other two candidates" giving Paris a run for her money. So... it is up to you to make a difference. Show your support for the totally hot choice and wear your Paris for President Tee. Order it on dollhouse.com today!


We have limited quantities available of this item, as of this posting. Be sure to collect this great pop-culture collector's item before it sells out. Spread the word.

ice cream on every street corner

Great graphics.

I think this truck dates back to the 50s. So great!

The Ice Cream Man! On 39th and Broadway in the Garment District.
Photographed today!

The most amazing thing about Midtown in the summer is that there is an ice cream truck (Mister Softee!), it seems, on every street corner. Ice cream everywhere. It seems like heaven to me. And a cone with sprinkles is only $2! People say New York is expensive. Hah.

Although it is not summer today, the Ice Cream Men are back. Check out two trucks in the Garment District: 39th and Broadway is $2 for a cone; 41st St and 6th Avenue is $3 for a cone. It pays to comparison shop...

Danity Kane for Dollhouse
"Scotland Plaid Skinny"
DETAIL: Danity Kane metal nameplate

Thanks for all your nice emails about the first detailed up-close-and-personal peek we showed you of the upcoming Danity Kane for Dollhouse denim collection. We are getting close to launch, and we are happy to report that dollhouse.com has the online exclusive! Yes, you can get Danity Kane for Dollhouse online only on dollhouse.com, so get ready for the opening day shopping frenzy! (Make sure you are on our mailing list to get Priority Shopping Notification. You probably are on it already, right? Because you are that fashion-savvy.)

This Sneak Peak #2 features the "Scotland Plaid Skinny." Check out the dark plaid denim -- very subtle and cool with heat-set whiskers for a worn-in look. Each pair of jeans in the line has plenty of unique details. My favorite "Scotland" detail is the overlapping change pocket with "Danity Kane" signature button and flap, pictured above. The button has just a little sparkle too.

Pretty exciting. We are going to the Teen Vogue Fashion University event tonight. This evening's festivities promise a "high-voltage fashion show and a performance by the Whigs."

Teen Vogue Fashion University continues Saturday and Sunday with fashion classes featuring top designers, editors, celebrity guest stylists, Target's latest designers, and more. I wouldn't mind taking some classes. The line-up is pretty amazing!

Have you read Style Rookie yet? Tavi, age 12, may be new to the blog world (her blog debuted in March 2008), but she already has been featured on the Teen Vogue Fashion Blog as "Blogger of the Moment." So cool! That's where I first experienced her amazing personal style, creativity, and great self-aware writing. For example, she writes:

ATTENTION PEOPLE WHO LIVE WITHIN
A 5 MILE RADIUS OF ME
(with the exception of Sophie
and Gracie and Jonah and Claire)
Do not read my blog. I repeat. Do
not. This is for your own safety and
health. If you want to live to see the
next line from Vivienne Westwood
(not that any of you even care, you
just want to bug/stalk me)-close this
window right now. If you want, I
can get an associate to help you locate
the exit if you prefer. It's the button
in your upper right hand corner that
says XXXXXXXXXXX.

See you AT SCHOOL.
Gosh.

Tavi, my new blogger hero. I hope she finds this post and comments. Truly a must read.
