That New New for You You (Botkier's Bullseye)

First Things First...

I poppa... just kidding, but I really do need you to give me "one more chance." StyleScrybe's sorry. I've been away from you for a while, and I want to apologize. Rest assured, I definitely missed you, though. Now, Here's the scoop...

Botkier, There and Everywhere!

Psssst! Word on the street is that the style lab at Target is cookin' up that good good, and it's gonna be a collabo with Monica Botkier, designer of the supremely chic and supple handbags spotted all over Hollywood and on the pages of the hottest style mags. So far, I haven't been blown away by the affordable "such-and-such-designer for Target" accessory collections, but I still somehow get excited when I find out they're giving it another go. Entitled Botkier for Target (surprise, surprise), the limited-edition collection will be available from July 21 to September 14 at Target stores and on Target.com. No price points or images of the line yet, but I'll hook you up as soon as some come my way. In the meantime, join me in lusting over this blue Botkier beauty I saw at Bloomies.

The Ooooooo-Weee! (More intense than a normal fashion fix, here's what has me feenin')

You Gets No Love

Sigh... Your girl was a little sad today. She didn't have a Valentine. (I know, I know... Girl Power! Love Thy Self, and all that. We single gals appreciate the pep talks about self love. After a while, though, it all sounds like blah blah blah.) I definitely love me, but it'd be nice to know someone of the opposite sex shares the sentiment. Anyway, date or not (usually not), I try to get myself a V-day gift every year, but this year I couldn't think of anything that wasn't mushy or cliche. I've already bought myself diamonds and perfume and chocolate and wine. A T-shirt that expresses exactly what I feel on the sappiest of days? Haven't done that yet, but I'm gonna have to grab one from loveislame.com. As my favorite celeb publicist (and cousin) said in her Sistah-girl email today, "Cupid can kick rocks!" Ok, Ok, I'm not that bitter, but I still think this tee is pretty cool, and I look forward to what people will say when I wear it.

That New New for You You (Nude Shoes Headed Stateside)

Interlude in the Nude

StyleScrybe is doing her happy dance! You know how you see the perfect shoe on a site like Shoewawa or the Shoe Blog and get excited because it goes perfectly with your "freak 'em" dress... and then you feel all let down because it's only sold on other continents, and by the time you pay the converted price you're looking at "I Wish I May" numbers? Soon that won't be the case with Nude shoes. The infinitely chic Autralian brand that manages to mix vintage and modern in the perfect proportions is headed stateside. I'm not sure where they'll be available yet, but my sources say they'll be sold at great prices in a controlled distribution set. I'll keep you posted, though.

Five, Six, Pick Up... (Time to Barack & Poll!)

Yep, in the Right Tee!

StyleScrybe is scratching her head... Howcome the political group they call "the right" seems to get it all so wrong? Don't answer that... I just wanted to make you go "hmmm." Anyway, in honor of Super Tuesday, StyleScrybe has decided to give you a little guidance as you head to the polls. I can't tell you which Democratic candidate to vote for, but I am absolutely compelled to make a wardrobe suggestion or two (wink, wink). Here are five tees I found that express the "right" mind state for election '08. You won't get them before you cast your vote if you order online, but I'm sure they'll be appropriate until November. I was right about the Superbowl (Go Big Blue!), so you can quote me on the elections too...

This time, the shirts aren't divided into categories (because Barack Obama's all about unity).

Oooooh... Light bulb moment... Somebody should make a tee that says "B.O. knows politics"

I Wish I May, I Wish I Might (I Will One Day when My Pockets are Right)

Let's pretend I won the lottery, had a visit from my fairy godparent (he or she's out there somewhere, I just know it) or found some other way into a whole lotta chedda. If said fantasy were to come true, please believe a MAJOR shopping spree would be very close to the top of my to-do list. 'Til that happens, let's play a little game of "that's my bag."

New York, New York, Big City of Dreams...

Since we're in wish mode, I'm gonna put another one out there. I wish i was going to the Super Bowl! My Giants are gonna win, and you know why? Because Gucci said so (OK, they didn't exactly say that, but they did release a limited edition red, white and blue "Gucci Loves NY" bag just in time for the Big Game). I'd kill to be sitting in some great seats with this beauty on my lap, cheering my team to victory. Oh, and I'd feel especially good since I'd know that 100% of the proceeds from my purchase went to the Playground Partners of the Central Park Conservancy (Chick luh tha kids). While it's way too late for me to make my way to Arizona, all hope isn't lost for the bag. I'm going to enter to win one at www.guccilovesny.com. Then I'm wishin' on a star!

Shop to Save (Because Saving $$$ is Good but Saving Lives is Best)

Peace it Up

Some things never go out of style, and contrary to what Pres. Bush and all the other thugs of the world might say, peace is one of them... so is charity. Oh, and let's not forget self-sustainability. OmniPeace has joined forces with Millenium Promise in an endeavor to end extreme poverty in Sub-Saharan Africa by the year 2025, and you can help the cause if you buy one of their tres chic tees, tanks or accessories. Either go to the OmniPeace site and score or cop one of the celeb favorites at Kitson. They even have chocolate bars!

For tha Low Low (Gotta Love a Sale)

The Heel Deal...

I'm gon' get you high today... 'cause it's Friday (I'm talking about heels silly! I know you got a job, and you got sh!t to do). For those of us who shop our woes away, an adorable pair of 4-inch heels at a great price makes for true retail therapy. I prescribe these round toed, patent pleather "Jillian" boots by Sarah Jayne. If you have a Shi by Journeys store near you, they're only $10 (Nope, i didn't forget a zero)! Unfortunately, they're sold out online... sorry. They're not for everyday wear, though, so I'll be wearing mine on yucky weather days when events call for high heels but i don't want to endanger my finer footwear. Who loves ya?
