I saw star trek yesterday. It was amazing. And, I think I have a crush on Spock. Like I am ready to join the Starfleet Academy right now kind of crush. Is that weird?

Henri Bendel is focusing in on its core categories — accessories, beauty and gifts. Under the retailer’s new strategy, the Fifth Avenue flagship will be downsized as Bendel’s concentrates on its most profitable areas while getting out of apparel.

Chanel's short film, Train de Nuit, starring Audrey Tautou (directed by Jean-Pierre Jeunet) is out and ready for your viewing pleasure at chaneln5.com. It made me want to do two things. Take a long train ride and buy a bottle of Chanel No. 5. The latter will not happen because alas, my body chemistry is just not made for No 5. Sad.
New York has designated tomorrow Chanel No.5 Day - along with Cinco de Mayo, right? A portion of Fifth Avenue has also been renamed to Avenue No.5 for the duration of the week.
