Hi All,

I am so excited about an event coming up on November 21st and wanted to share it with you. It's SCORE! Pop-Up Swap at 3rd Ward (Brooklyn) - a massive public swap. It's like a department store where everything is free!

Bring your unloved clothes, books, housewares, music, art supplies, and miscellany - and then take the new treasures they find. Style experts from Nylon, librarians from the Desk Set, and party people from Showpaper will be on hand to help you find the good stuff and any additional funds raised go to food rescue organization City Harvest.

Details after the jump and at www.scoredatscore.com

Hello everyone!

I would love to get your help on something. I've been asked to do a daytime makeup look on someone for her trip to Las Vegas and another for nighttime.

Now, since I'm not a complete amateur, I realize that I should spice things up for the nighttime look. But daytime in Vegas has me a little stumped.

I'm looking for something that shows this woman's true beauty, but is saucy enough for this city. Any suggestions? What eye shadows, eye liner, and mascara? What are the best shades to pair with a little black dress? All ideas are most welcome!

P.S.
Everything except showgirl makeup, she's going to Vegas, not working there.

Hi Fashionista Readers,

I need some advice regarding the fashion industry job market in NYC. I currently live in San Diego and work at one of the only retailers headquartered here. However, it has been my life long ambition to move to NYC and pursue a career in fashion.

I am ready to take the plunge! Clearly given the economic climate, fashion jobs have been scarce and most companies seem to not want to give the time of day to cross-country applicants. I've had a couple interviews but none for my "dream" job.

Do you think I should I take a job that I'm not wowed by for the sake of a paycheck (obviously a necessity to live in NYC)? Or, should I take a gamble and move out there jobless to see what I kind of fashion job I can come across while physically being in the city? Anyone have any advice - especially New Yorkers??

Thanks!!

Hello!

Last year I bought a mauve Miu Miu bag (the one with bows on the side and gold hardware) and recently it got dirty and a blue mark, possibly from someone's dark wash jeans.

So I was wondering if anyone knows of a good handbag cleaner out in Los Angeles. I want them to be familiar on how to handle high-end bags and won't ruin the deerskin or the color.

Please help me find a legit leather handbag clearner/restorer in LA!

Thanks!

Hello fellow Fashionista fans,

I am planning on studying abroad in London next semester and I would really love to find a fashion internship while I am there. I have my visa sorted out and everything, but now, I have to find an internship!

Does anyone know where I can go to find postings for internships in London?

Thanks in advance :)

Hello Fashionista Readers!

I have a job opportunity that I thought one of you might be interested in. We're currently looking for a stylist for a short film project.

It is a comedy with a small cast and the writer's last film was nominated in a Film Festival. You don't need to have tons of experience. But you will be required to be on set from Oct 16th-20th in New York City.

For more information please contact Jeff at phobiafilms@gmail.com.

Thanks!

Hello there,

So I have a problem that I'm hoping you guys can help me with. I just purchased an amazing vintage leather bag that I'm stoked to use as soon as possible.

The thing is, it has that super musty vintage-y smell that so many of my purchases from thrift shops have.

It's not too overwhelming, but I don't want the scent to rub off on everything I put in there. Or god forbid, have people notice it every time I walk into a room.

Any ideas?

Hi!

In November, I'm going to be heading to New York City for a little trip and I need some tips on where to go shopping. I usually come to the city once a year, but I feel like I always end up at the same places--Uniqlo, Betsey Johnson, Marc By Marc Jacobs.

I would love some new ideas because I know there are tons of cool boutiques and designers that I'm missing out on.
