Media Monday: Third Wave Fashion Helps Fashion Tech Start Ups

Dear Fashionistas,

I wanted to pass along something I recently saw on Facebook: Third Wave Fashion.  This is a New York-based company that offers “strategic planning and experienced hands-on consulting for fashion-focused web-based startups” and have worked with the likes of Ralph Lauren, MTV UK and Fast Company.  So if you’re also a fashion/tech “entreprenista” I’d definitely check out their website!

Fashionably Yours,

Nik

Iconic “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” Brownstone For Sale!

Dear Fashionistas,

The weekend is finally here!  I’ve been recuperating from a minor surgery (all four wisdom teeth were removed on Wednesday- good riddance!) and while sipping on soups and apple sauce, I came upon this story about Holly Golightly’s party pad in Breakfast at Tiffany’s.  One of Audrey Hepburn’s most memorable and celebrated roles, Holly Golightly embodied the quintessential It Girl, hosting the most unbelievable parties at this chic brownstone on the Upper East Side of Manhattan.

Holly Golightly and Hollywood aside, can you imagine the non-fictional  fetes hosted there?  Well, if you’d like to throw your own parties there, the brownstone’s yours for a mere $5.85 million.

Fashionably Yours,

Nik
