Nicole Snooki Polizzi at the 2014 MTV Movie Awards at Nokia Theatre L.A

  • Though we haven’t heard much from the likes of Snooki for a while, tomorrow the reality television star will launch a fragrance inspired by the Great Gatsby film. Entitled Snooki Love, the fragrance was created “in honor of her upcoming nuptials to long-time-love-of-her-life Jionni LaValle.” The fragrance is her third. Both of her previous fragrances sold out within a few hours of launching. (Fashionista)

  • Though she has retired from her post at the New York Times, every once in a while Cathy Horyn graces our presence with a few of her views.  Her latest words were on Maison Martin Margiela tapping John Galliano as the creative director. “It seemed to me more of a publicity move than anything — good for Renzo [Rosso] and good for that particular brand,” Horyn said about the move. She went on to draw connections between Galliano and Margiela with their flare for presentation but cited it mostly as a PR stunt. (The Daily)

  • Retailers are grappling over whether or not they should open on Thanksgiving to cash in on early bird shoppers. And while some say they have to open because customers demand more shopping hour choices, others have to open or they will face fines. Tenants in the Walden Galleria mall in Buffalo, N.Y. say that the mall has announced they will fine any retailer not open at 6 p.m. on Thanksgiving day.  It’s quite the heavy handed directive. What do you think? (Time)

banana republic marissa

  • The first full collection of Banana Republic under new creative director Marissa Webb is here.  The J. Crew alum felt the range with some bold, vivd colorations and fashion forward workwear options. Slight safari riffs nodded to the brand’s heritage but sensible pieces — and the prices that Banana Republic deals will mark them down to — make for a pretty decent outlook for the brand.
