Friday Five

1. May The Fourth Be With You:  Happy Star Wars Day! I hope the force is strong in all of you.

2. Art Fair Weekend: If you live in New York, there are several art fairs happening around the city, fresh off the heels of this week's auctions. For those of you looking to combine your passion for food and art, head to Frieze New York on Randall's Island. It is a little out of the way and a bit too pricey for my taste, but it is sure to draw big crowds and have some great art. Verge New York will be showcasing "Tomorrow Stars" and if you are hoping to be one of 2013's picks for Tomorrow Stars, you can apply on the site now. I will be attending the Pulse New York fair. I am excited to learn about some new artists and to see the work of Bronx born artist Fred Wilson.

3.Fred Segal: This week it was announced the New York firm, Sandow Media, bought the worldwide rights to Fred Segal. For the last 50 years, Fred Segal has been a California-only shopping staple, leaving all of us East Coasters a little bit jealous, but that is about to change. With this purchase, Fred Segal stores could be opening in New York, Miami and Las Vegas in the next few years.

4.Anna Dello Russo for H&M: Anna Dello Russo, the creative consultant and editor-at-large for Vogue Japan and fashionista extraordinaire, has announced an accessories collection for H&M. In true ADR style, expect glamorous accessories with lots of gold - think extravagant at an affordable price. The line will include shoes, bags, sunglasses and jewelry and will be available in October.

5.Vogue Magazine Intends to Promote Healthy Body Images: Vogue Magazine editors across the globe have united to take a stand against too-skinny and too-young models. They have agreed to no longer work with models under the age of 16 or who appear to have eating disorders. Casting directors are now required to ask for identification to show proof of the model's age. This announcement is inspiring. Many young girls have a negative body image and fashion magazines that showcase stick thin models are partly to blame. Vogue is the ultimate fashion magazine, so maybe other magazines will follow suit and normal sized models will begin to grace the pages of every glossy!

Friday Five

1. Domino Magazine: In 2009, when Domino Magazine stopped publication, I was devastated. I still have every single copy of this stylish shelter magazine, so you can guess how I excited I was when the company announced that they would be publishing a special edition of the magazine called Quick Fixes. The magazine focuses on easy, inexpensive changes that will help to make a big difference in your home. The $11 price tag is a bit hefty for a magazine, but I feel like I have been saving up for it for the last 3 years!

2. Missoni for Converse: This past weekend, Converse and Missioni released their special edition high top sneakers and they do not disappoint. They are available in three colors and retail for $200. While this is not the first collaboration Converse has done with Missioni, it might be my favorite. Last years stripe pattern was bold and bright and limited what you could wear the sneakers with. This years chevron pattern comes in muted tones of pale mint green and white.There is also a navy blue woven pattern. Personally, I think they outdid themselves this year. They seem to go with so much more.  My favorite is the green. I cannot wait to wear them all summer long. You can purchase them here.

3. Andy Warhol for Uniqlo: Since Uniqlo hit New York a few years ago, the Japanese store has been bringing affordable fashion to the masses. The company does a great job of partnering with famous brands to offer cute pieces for both men and women. Currently, Uniqlo offers clothing collaborations from Lulu Guiness, Barbie, Orla Keily, the Museum of Modern Art and Andy Warhol. The Warhol shirts are fantastic. They are exactly what Warhol intended - art for the masses. There are six designs and each shirt is $24.90. Buy them here.

4. Rebecca Minkoff Sunglasses: It is no secret that I am obsessed with Rebecca Minkoff. What can I say, I love everything she makes. Although I have been patiently waiting for the Rebecca Minkoff Baby G watch, I am very excited that her line of sunglasses will be available on April 27 - right in time for summer in New York. I am particularly fond of the Varick style. The dark to light brown fade of the frames will go great on all complexions - tan or not. They are UVA and UVB coated, which is the first thing you should look for when purchasing sunglasses. You can buy them right on the Rebecca Minkoff site.

5. Ciate Caviar Manicure: Nail art is so popular right now. Salons like Valley NYC do the most amazing designs and make each nail look like miniature pieces of art. Ciate Caviar Manicure is nail art in a bottle. The two part system, features pearlescent beads that give your nails a 3-D effect. It comes in black, white or rainbow and is available at Sephora.
