Shopping Haul Video: Garment District Sample Sale, Plus… Duane Reade?!

This week, I embarked on my first assignment for the Jane by Design Style Challenge: I was given a $50 Visa gift card and challenged to go on a creative and inspiring shopping spree.  Who knew how hard it would be to spend someone else’s money?  Through a little bit of creativity (sprinkled in with a dose of sheer luck), I think I put my $50 to great use ( actually $48.06 to be exact).  Check out my video below to see what I came up with.

As I mentioned before, you guys can join in the fun by uploading a quick video of your own recent shopping finds to the Jane By Design Facebook Page (and be sure to mention Closet Confections sent you!). And one last thing: If I win the style challenge, I get to pick one of my lucky readers (that means you!) to be featured as “Trendsetter of the Week” on abcfamily.com.

I told you guys in a previous post that I just can’t stop wearing this fur collar that I picked up from H&M.  Well here’s some photographic evidence.  I felt very rock ‘n roll in this getup (a leather jacket and cool shades will do that to a gal), and it turned out to be the perfect outfit for browsing funky shops and boutiques in downtown Manhattan.

Last Thursday I had several important meetings during the day, and I was hosting a huge event in the evening.  I wanted a look that was polished and professional, but still had that extra Kendra* flair.  I love how this outfit is very menswear-inspired with the tailored dress and banker-striped shirt.  Since the top portion was so buttoned-up, I felt that I could get away with a pair of sexy red heels and matching clutch.

*I’m referring to myself in the 3rd person, just in case you thought I was talking about one of those other Kendra’s.
