Tested: eBay Now’s Fast, Easy Valet Delivery Service

by Julia DiNardo

[Some items from Macy’s, available for delivery through eBay Now]

If you live in San Francisco, San Jose and New York, you’re in luck – eBay Now is here for you! The new site, available from 9am-9pm Monday -Saturday and from 9am-6pm Sundays is a valet service in the listed launch cities that once you log in with your eBay account, can scroll through retailers’ merchandise from stores such as Home Depot, Macy’s, Office Depot, Radio Shack, Target, Toys R Us, Urban Outfitters, Walgreens, and more, check out, and have the goods delivered to wherever you are for same-day service, which can be in as little as an hour!

Pretty genius, right? This is great for travelers, new moms, if you have a cold, or just need something in a jiffy, like a present, and don’t have time to make it to the store. The order minimum is $25, with a $5 delivery per store, with a tip for your valet as optional.

Courtesy of eBay Now, I tested out the service, on a Saturday morning when I had a lot of work to do, but no toothpaste left to squeeze out of the tube! When you search products at the site, it gives you options for which retailer to choose; pay attention to this since you can only check out with one retailer at a time, so that you don’t incur an extra $5 charge per store and need to up your order quantity and cost.

THE BROWSHOP at completely bare Launches This Month!

by Julia DiNardo

I’ve been a patron of completey bare‘s waxing services for a number of years, and was thrilled to hear about, and try, their dedicated servies to all things eyebrow-related. THE BROWSHOP, a collaboration between celeb eyebrow stylist Joey Healy and completely bare founder Cindy Barshop, offers brow grooming via highly trained specialists dedicated to brows only, which this September, became available at its Bond Street and Fifth Avenue locations.

Joey Healy, whose clients include Kyra Sedgwick, Bethany Frankel, and Bebe Neuwirth, created THE BROWSHOP Calibration, which is a tool similar to those rulers used in the geometry, for his specialists to handle and execute the perfect brows for each individual client. Clients can choose from one of three options: Eyebrow Shaping ($55), Eyebrow Tinting ($35), or Eyebrow Blueprint ($75), to achieve a finished look that includes trimming, tweezing, and setting with powder, or pencils (called Stylos at completely bare), walking away with an Eyebrow Calibration Card that mimics each individual’s design with easy, with alphabetical points to follow for careful AND carefree upkeep and follow-along between appointments (see below).

London Fashion Week: Burberry Prorsum, Tom Ford, Christopher Kane, Mulberry

by Julia DiNardo

The Show: Burberry Prorsum

The Theme: A Softening of Shape and Color

The Color Palette: Pale & pastels shades of Blue, Grey, Yellow, Mint, Pink, Turquoise and Khaki

The Collection’s Signature, Standout Look: True to form for spring 2014, there has been an incredibly softening of silhouette and color, with proportions, especially in jackets, expanding, and Burberry Prorsum is no exception. The execution is spot-on, while handcrafted, heavy embellishments (as found on this jacket) and ultra sheer layers give a fresh, and slightly subversive approach to this modern take on the season’s trends.
