New York fashion week starts today

Girlawhirl’s been planning and prepping for weeks, and finally it’s here: Fall Fashion Week in New York. Officially called Olympus Fashion Week Spring Collections ‘07, it’s almost 100 shows in the tents at Bryant Park, with designers from all over the world premiering their looks for next spring…

Now that the summer’s over, Girlawhirl’s trading in her sheer lip glosses for lips with a little more color… a little more oomph. And some of the extra attention she’s putting into her lips is in the plump! Plumpers have been around for a while, but Girlawhirl can’t seem to make it through the day—or night—with one on because of the stinging sensation she’s felt with the uber-plumpers she’s tried. So she’s tested and tried, and come up with a few comfortable ways to up her pucker power…

What’s new this week: new books, new movies, new CDs, new DVDs!

Girlawhirl always wants to know what’s next. So she searches out what’s coming to movie theaters, DVD and CD players and bookstores and shares it with all of her closest Pals. And what kind of friend would she be if she didn’t spread the word on her favorite sales too…

Finally it’s here! Girlawhirl feels as if she’s been waiting forever, but it’s really just been a few months. Today’s the day that the Vivienne Westwood collection for Nine West hits the stores and the web. Girlawhirl loves the humor and drama of Vivienne Westwood’s clothing and accessories. Somehow there’s always a bit of tension in her creations, mixing the edgy with the traditional to create show-stopping pieces...

Always browsing the travel section of her favorite book stores, a different kind of travel book caught Girlawhirl’s eye. Ramble: A Field Guide To The U.S.A. by Eric Peterson didn’t look like just another travel book, and after flipping through it, Girlawhirl could see that there were quite a few things covered in this book that probably wouldn’t be mentioned in many others…
