We recently learned via WWD that Yves Saint Laurent will be distributing free logo totes with a catalog inside on September 6th. The location is yet to be released, while the uber-chic black and white totes are purposely adorned with an upside down YSL logo. Stay tuned for more info!
UPDATE: Fashion Pulse discovered that the bags were handed out rather rapidly, around 2pm by the tents at Bryant Park, and distributing white totes at Soho House (Hotel) In the Meatpacking District. We even saw one guy at the tents in a white, upside down YSL shirt! If you missed out, we found a few of them on ebay , and as of Sunday, September 7th, the prices were only $8 — let’s see what happens…

I stopped dead in my tracks, while walking through the neighborhood Duane Reade, when I spotted the latest Cover Girl 4-kit eyeshadows. Luscious shades of yellow, orange, shimmery turquoise, inky black, lavender, and cobalt danced before our eyes, and for about $6 for four shades, we don’t mind experimenting with some funky eye colors!
