Luaren Merkin
I love Lauren Merkin clutches for her simple designs and fun colors (her line is also reasonably priced which makes it easy to buy a few designs!)  Now is the time to treat yourself or someone else to a custom Lauren Merkin clutch via Daily Candy and MasterCard.  Choose your own exterior color, lining, and get your name sewn into the bag!  The other fun part is that you can pick it up at an exclusive champagne launch for Spring 2012 on January 12.  That is one unique gift!  Check out the details here.

OpenSky and Alexander McQueen Giveaway
I first talked about OpenSky a few weeks ago.  It is a cool curated flash sale site with a variety of products from apparel to gourmet food.  Curators are celebrities from Molly Sims to Ming Tsai and they select a few products that are on sale for a few days.  I have found the product selection to be pretty interesting and already made my first purchase of mixed gourmet mushrooms from the site (mmm black trumpet mushrooms!)  I also find the limited selection to be easier to browse as opposed to other flash sale sites (every curator offers one or two different items though there are quite a few curators).
But the coolest thing is that new members can be entered to win classic Alexander McQueen clothing (oh I wish I was eligible!)
Here is my invite if you need it.

Otherwise, this weekend I am…
…headed to one of the city’s best fishmongers to find some great shrimp, lobsters, and snapper!  I don’t cook that much seafood, but I do want to try.  I also haven’t found great, fresh fish at the local supermarket so I am excited to find a place that is celebrated for its fresh fish.  It is a great way to shop locally and get to know someone that is skilled at his (tasty) trade.

What are you doing this weekend?

Have a fabulous weekend!
