Manhattan Mall, the mall of midtown and home to Steve & Barry's and Strawberry, is going through some changes:
The bottom floor is what used to be the food court. A loss, yes (no more food samples), but all this construction will bring JCPenney to midtown Manhattan. I haven't stepped foot inside a JCPenney since I was a kid. And back then we had more family ties to Sears as my sister was a top seller in automotive (employee discount, baby!). So send me some JCPenney comments, I'm curious as to what you all think.
And some Manhattan Mall windows:
At Steve & Barry's, the Sex and the City T-shirts by Bitten. Umm, "I'm with Mr. Big," not really interested but perhaps it's my age/marital status. You?Also at Steve & Barry's, the Wonderwall line by Laird Hamilton. "We are all equal before a wave." Maybe if one is a world-class surfer, yes. Me, not so much as I discovered on my honeymoon after a bit of a tropical storm. But Laird's line looks pretty good. I eyeballed the collection today and am buying some later this week (the lunchtime line was too long). There are some decent looking striped shirts and also plaid shorts for the guys. And it's all $8.98 or less. Will try to get Husband (a much more "equal before the wave" type) to model.
And I was inexplicably drawn to this Victoria's Secret window:then it hit me: this was exactly what I had needed for my own wedding gown. Something reasonable to pouf up Mom's dress. She and I had some gut-busting fun shopping for a crinoline (the original had been lost). The only ones we could find were huge, as in "bigger than the church aisle" huge. So I hope this helps someone out there who is also overwhelmed by too-too poufy wedding undergarments.
The rest of the Victoria's Secret wedding collection looks vintage, pretty and sexy. Has anyone tried it on? Lingerie trying-on was not happening today as I haven't been to the gym in over a week.

Just wanted to let you know I tagged you if you're interested :)
On JC Penney - they actually have some decent clothes (and great prices) They have a new line out called Nicole (by Nicole Miller). Please showcase some items for us, since I work all the time and don't have time to go to the mall. (Or, rather, I am lost without your sister at the mall.)
one of my first mall memories: my sister and I running into Maria who had biked to Lindale (? right Maria?) Mall, but looked more gorgeous sweaty and post-exercise than any woman in that mall in Cedar Rapids.
I think the JCPenney is opening Spring 2009? Will go there once a week for you.
Loving the "All equal..." quote and tee. The mall is looking pretty good from where we are sitting!
A crinoline...? Holy cow wedding dress woman! I bet you looked pretty cool anyway...and didn't need any old crinoline poufiness.
:-)
The mall looks definitely better. You have reminded me, oh, it's time to go shopping! I love it!
so cool, i love those I love NY t-shirts! really cool!
a kiss!!!
Glad that JC Penney is coming to Manhattan Mall. They needed a major retailer. How many hats and sneakers can you buy!! It willalsosave me a trip to Queens or Long Island. Actually JC Penney was the only corporate based major retailer for many years(Corp office on 6th Ave)
Welcome JC Penney..
Great quality on their private label clothing and home goods.
It was my pleasure to visit your blog. It is really a mirecle to visit your blog in this wide world. And I also have the feeling that it was really a pity that we didn't meet each other earlier. Because the kindness and warmth in your blog can make me completely relaxed and happy. I hope that you will visit my blog too to see if you can have the same feeling.
