Bergdorf Goodman is celebrating its 111th Anniversary this year, and to mark the occasion, a number of designers have created limited-edition items honoring the always-elegant New York department store.
I’m especially smitten with John Derian‘s “handcrafted découpage tray featuring a rendition of the Bergdorf Goodman building.” It shows the architects’ original design for the store’s Fifth Avenue façade, courtesy of Columbia University’s Avery Architectural & Fine Arts Library.
…an island sixteen miles long,
Numberless crowded streets—high growths of iron, slender, strong, light, splendidly uprising toward clear skies…

As of this week, I’m still enjoying the preview photos and information about NARS’ Andy Warhol cosmetics collection for fall. The way things go, it’s only a matter of time before saturation sets in, but I’ve gathered a handful of other Warhol-themed items for autumn inspiration.

If you read any beauty blogs or online fashion/lifestyle publications, you probably learned last week that NARS will be releasing a line of cosmetics inspired by the work and career of artist Andy Warhol this autumn.
The public-relations machinery is already moving fast and furious on behalf of this collection, and I have a feeling that I’ll be suffering from fabulous-fatigue by the time the products actually hit shelves in October and November.
On the other hand, will I be able to resist these lip glosses named for the “superstars” and glamourous drag queens of Warhol’s circle? or a shimmery blush titled after a Lou Reed song? That remains to be seen.
In the meantime, just to remind ourselves that there’s no shortage of Andy-themed accessories out there, let’s take a look at a few other ways to wear Warhol this fall…
