Lately we hear about pop-up shops every single day. This morning’s WWD talked of the just opened “J. Crew Special Selections” shop inside Ron Herman (which is inside Fred Segal.) While it’s nice that Ron himself picked out some pieces and is putting them next to the Margiela, Lanvin, etc. in his boutique, we really don’t see the point.

It’s not that we don’t appreciate mixing high and low. Of course we do. We just don’t understand doing a pop-up shop with merchandise that is readily available elsewhere like, you know, a J. Crew store. Others that come to mind are Citizens of Humanity (also at Ron Herman) and Alice + Olivia at Scoop. Really, are the people of Los Angeles having a hard time locating J. Crew merch or COH jeans? We highly doubt it.

I am incredibly particular about my pillows. I would prefer to pack them and take them with me everywhere I go. But this is obviously not the most convenient situation, especially with the whole $15 per checked bag situation.

But I’ve never really thought much about my pillowcase, other than to make sure it looks nice on my bed. Until now, that is.

Of course, I’ve heard of women who sleep with their hair set in rollers and wrapped in a silk scarf to keep it from frizzing up. It seems very old school and kind of glam, but nothing I’d ever bother to take the time to do. What I didn’t realize was that my choice of pillowcase can actually affect the way our faces looks too.

These days it seems everyone has a “signature scent.” But how many of those scents are actually tailored to your specific preferences?

To celebrate the launch of their Mémoire Liquide Bespoke Perfumery Counter, in the newly revamped fragrance department of Bloomingdale’s 59th Street store, sisters Robin Coe-Hutshing and Jennifer Coe-Bakewell will be conducting one-on-one blending appointments tomorrow and Thursday from 11-7.

The sisters, who are also the masterminds behind Studio BeautyMix at Fred Segal, have been custom blending fragrances for 25 years. They’ll guide you through their 75 fragrances and help you mix and blend your very own scent, which you can then buy in the form of a perfume, shower gel or body lotion.

Or if you’re fragrance ADD like me, you can create a mini coffret of three different scents to mix and match.

I had the pleasure of doing one of these appointments and it was definitely a treat to have Jennifer and Robin guide me through the process. I listed off a few of my favorite smells and from there the sisters started to hand me different notes they thought I would enjoy. They were absolutely dead on— nine out of 10 they chose were just my type.

You can schedule an appointment by calling 212-705-2403 and get a scent of your very own.

I love the beauty shopping landscape here in New York. We’ve got it all, from apothecary chic at Kiehl’s and C.O. Bigelow to curated brands at Space NK and niche perfumery at Aedes de Venustas.

But when it I think about one particular store, I feel like there’s something missing in my life. I’m talking, of course, about the West Coast beauty mecca that is Studio at Fred Segal. The first and only time I visited California I made sure Studio was on my list of must-see destinations. How could I not after reading about it in every fashion mag and beauty report?

Bravo can’t get their fashion fill.

They’re hard at work on a retail docu-series amid the famed halls of Santa Monica’s Fred Segal.

The show, the network’s third fashion series, will focus on the competitive nature of retail in such a high end setting and believe us, in a store like that, with its customers and commission and cutthroat salespeople, there will be more drama and fighting than Project Runway rolled into Stylista with a dose of ANTM.

A Bravo exec said, “Fred Segal is a legendary retail haven…the fashionistas who work, shop and gossip at the store promise to have arresting, entertaining, colorful personalities and lives.”

Meanwhile, will customers be cool with cameras outside their dressing room? Or will this give the Ron Hermans of the world a boost in business?

If you live in New York, you might have already passed the Henri Bendel windows announcing their exclusive relaunch of Members Only.

Yes, we really do mean the brand whose swooshy, zippered jackets monopolized outerwear in the 80’s and now reside in fraternity house costume closets.

Apparently, they’re making a high fashion comeback, starting at Bendel’s but soon to be available at boutiques like Fred Segal and Scoop across the country.

Or, if more convenient, at your local Forever 21.

It usually takes the chain at least a month to hang designer rip-offs from their racks, but their imitation Members Only jacket was available at least a week before the real ones hit shelves.

Or maybe we should say twenty-five years after?
