Happy holidays to all. (I was greeted by this cute little snow man at my local cafe and it just made my day so I had to share). Just a reminder, I haven’t left this blog. I was simply taking some time to re-group and to get started on my new venture. You can now find me at www.ShutUpILoveThis.com. I launched an online jewelry and accessories store this year and I’ll continue to blog as Partly Sunny here. It’s been double the work and the risk but it’s been double the fun and I thank you for being patient and for your continued support.
Partly Sunny’s new home is back better then ever with better content and a new fresh look. The old site will stay running with all my other

We see each other quite often, either at an event, out walking our dogs or just strolling in the neighborhood. I finally got the chance to asking Anya for an “Industry Insider”. Thanks again for taking the time on these questions!

Where your favorite spots are: I travel a lot and love every minute of it, but some places just feel like home. It’s hard to explain; it’s about the feeling. I love San Francisco’s hills, Paris’s Montmartre … more …

The acquisition and the joining of forces of these two great companies now makes them a 200 + store across Canada power house. Watch out, this just means more fabulous shoes heading your way.
For more information here’s the official press release.

Macy’s location on 34th Street is getting a re-do and we are talking a massive $400 million investment of their flagship store in New York City. The plan is to be more focused on more upscale food eateries, the implementation of better technology and most importantly a re-vamp of the shoe department. (So exciting).
Yes, the already crazy busy shoe department of Macy’s is getting a multi-year renovation, expanding the second floor women’s shoe department to 39,000 square feet and it will also feature a coffee, wine and chocolate bar. What can get any better, have I died and gone to heaven? Shoes, coffee, wine and chocolate - All on one floor. It’s absolutely indulgent and over the top but it’s also a very logical plan.

I am always on the hunt for good deals and I think a good consignment store is a good place to start. Meet Yoogi’s Closet, a site where you can buy and sell pre-owned luxury goods. I’ve used their services before and I was pleasantly surprised. I also have my eyes set on my next purchase. Here’s your Industry Insider profile of owner and operator, Eugenia Han.
How did you get into what you are doing now?: In 2008, I was traveling in Japan and Korea with my husband and we came across some high-end luxury consignment stores.
