What to Wear for Turkey Day

Can you believe that Thanksgiving is NEXT week?! Me neither.. And I can hardly stand the fact that they are installing the annual Christmas decorations in Cary Court, as we speak. Slow down people!
Aside from day dreaming about stuffing, cranberry sauce and sweet potato casserole (no turkey for this pescatarian), I'm still struggling with the age-old question: What am I going to wear?! So I scoured the racks and came up with some ideas..

perfect for Thanksgiving Eve drinks: dress by Sam & Lavi, vest by The Battalion

Can you say comfy?? Get your fork and knife ready in these leggings by Snug and Daftbird top

For the more formal Thanksgiving Dinner: 7FAMK cords with a Joie silk tank and G&S lurex blazer

Perfect shopping tote(Rebecca Minkoff) for all your Black Friday purchases @ Pink!

Keeping it casual for all those Black Friday savings: cords by Joe's, top by Joie, sweater by Daftbird.

Of course we have more options than listed above- just thought I'd give you a preview! However we do have all of the above in stock. We'll be open until 4pm on the Wednesday before Thanksgiving and open normal business hours the Friday after- which we've decided to rename: Pink Friday!
Some come on in and let's give thanks for fashion!!!
Happy Turkey Day!

Deck The Halls- but not quite yet please!!

Breaking news: I just saw a news story on MSNBC with a story that Nordstrom will not celebrate/decorate for Christmas until Black Friday. God bless them and let's hope other retailers follow their lead. Please, one holiday at a time! I think the joy of the holidays have been ruined by commercialization. Nobody loved Christmas more than me but years of retailers advertising the holiday earlier and earlier has made it ugly. I used to love Christmas music ... Mom and I would pull out sing-along with Mitch Miller and sing carols all night and we were glued to the tv, watching Christmas specials with Dean Martin and their ilk. Those were the days! Retailers did great business without reminding us every second from Oct 15th to Dec 24th with advertisements. So I raise my eggnog to Nordstrom and say hallelujah!

T.G.I.PINK.

Everyone has experienced a "bad day at work," but not everyone chooses the same coping strategies to deal with the stress {mine would involve throwing back a fishbowl of wine}. Enter a new, sweet customer, Megan. She was wandering through the store yesterday, approachable, with a friendly smile on her face. As she was indecisively trying on knit hats, I asked her, if there was anything else she was looking for. She turned to me and simply confessed, almost relieved to put it out there:

"I had a bad day, so I bought chocolate, bread... I am going to eat my feelings and buy something really expensive!!"

What I loved the most about this statement was that it was pure honesty.

Libby and I listened to her, because there was so much more background than just a tough work day. We also did NOT let her buy anything really expensive that she would later regret. However, she picked out the Rebecca Taylor faux furry jacket for the photo, as the would-have-been-impulse purchase!

P.S. Thanks to Carytown local businesses, For the Love of Chocolate and Jean Jacques Bakery for helping Megan to reach her Happy Place :)

Pink: On the street in RVA!

It is my day off from work and met up with some girlfriends for coffee at Lamplighter. We are three tall brunettes, fashionably dressed in head-to-toe black, ready to decompress and share our trials and tribulations of Motherhood. While sipping on a beautifully prepared latte, I look up and see Pink customer, Jamie D., sporting a Rebecca Taylor cream jacquard/black polka dot trim blouse, purchased from our recent Rebecca Taylor trunk show, and Tucker's cream faux fur jacket. Of course, she gladly accepted my request to snap a pic and be blogged about.

I love to see Pink on the street, so beware... YOU may be spotted next!

Nail Trend Alert

A friend of mine has been fixated on owning a matte black car for over a year now, and when he first mentioned that to me, I never thought it would become a trend.. but lately, I've noticed more and more matte black cars- and it seems to be somewhat of a status symbol now, believe it or not. But who would have thought that would translate to nails?? Not me. Now, I must be honest with you here- I didn't come up with this idea all by myself..I had a little help from my new favorite obsession: Pinterest.com. Some have said that I'm late jumping on this bandwagon, but for me, it's right on time. If you haven't checked it out, do so, but don't blame me when all of a sudden 4 hours have gone by and you've done NOTHING except make your board for your Dream Home or Place You Want to Go. Anyways, I found a similar picture on pinterest not too long ago and have been fixated ever since. So on my day off, I decided to treat myself to a little mani/pedi with my girl Csi (pronounced "Chi" at Eliz's Nails on Forest Hill). I explained what I wanted as best that I could, but in the end, I had to pull up a pic on my archaic iPhone 3G(someone please get me the 4S!) and after studying the photo, she said she would try. Apparently I was the first one to have such a request, but I'm sure I won't be the last! But seriously, how perfect is a matte black French manicure for Halloween?! Pretty close to perfection. 

Trick or Treat!
