Ok, here is the review of the DVD

From Amazon.com....
Editorial Reviews
Product DescriptionHow do you define style? Utilizing the world-famous Videofashion Library, we created the Elements of Style series to meet the needs of programming executives searching for fashion and beauty programming that never gets old. Here, we examine every facet of fashion and all of the things that contribute to style as we understand it. If you cant find it in New York City it probably doesnt exist! In this program some of the savviest fashion insiders take us to their favorite shopping spots. Sex & the City stylist Patricia Field takes us to her own boutique. Dylan Lauren shows us around her uptown candy store. We get down and dirty on the Lower East Side at Love Shine. The team at Elle Girl magazine show us how to get bang for our buck in SoHo! Instyles Alice Kim gives up the inside scoop on shopping in Nolita! And designer Catherine Malandrino shows us around the Meatpacking District!

Old Interview from VIDEOFASHION

Soooooo we have heard from friends and acquaintances recently that an old Love Shine segment taped for VIDEOFASHION has been playing on the screens of NYC taxis, local cable TV stations and even on an international airplane tv monitor!!!

So we have been doing some research and we found this on Amazon.com!

Perhaps this is the source...? We are VERY excited in any case.

Canvas Topstitch Totes... with Oil Cloth Lining?

Who, we ask, could resist? Here is a pic from yesterday - saturday - in the store. A loyal Love Shine
customer (on the left - with her red topstitch tote which is several years old!) and her friend - who has just purchased a NEW black one. She regretted not buying this bag BEFORE she spent money on another one that just wasn't quite right... But don't they look out of sight!
