Cusp

Help! I have a case of the Spring shopping itch. Just when I thought I was done swiping my card, I come across Cusp.com. Right now, they're hosting a sale with designer items from the likes of Sonia Rykiel, Diane von Furstenberg, and Ali Ro marked up 75 percent off. I'm besotted with this crisp Phillip Lim Nautical Vest, ($165, originally $265). Tick, tock. Grab this sale before it's gone!

For those who don't know, Cusp is where I interviewed Nicole Richie last year. Ah, good times. The Neiman Marcus-owned store is currently holding an online sale with designer items up to 40 percent off. Shall we dive in?

You know I love sequined mini skirts but this Plenty Slim Sequined Skirt ($120, originally $200) is equally Fab. The purple band at the waist makes it that much more endearing.

Neiman Marcus-owned Cusp opened its first few boutiques last year to attract younger shoppers. In fact, my Nicole Richie interview was held at the LA boutique. With Cusp.com, girls who don't have a store near them can shop online any time. Offerings include party frocks, trendy jeans, fabulous shoes, and It bags by the likes of See by Chloe, Lauren Merkin, and more. There is also a generous sale section, so get to know Cusp if you haven't already.

Nicole Richie thinks there's nothing cuter than a little boy dressed in a suit. I know this because she told me. Well, it is pretty cute. We snuck Richie away at a recent fundraiser event to talk charity, fashion, and her evolving brand House of Harlow. This happened the night after the Chanel party, so as you can see, Fab was on a celebrity binge. I think I got my fix after an intimate chat with the funny and laid-back Richie at the Cusp Boutique in LA. Nick Verreos, Project Runway alum and friend of Nicole, was also there so stayed tuned to hear what's new with him.

Nicole partnered up with Signorelli to create T-shirts benefiting The Children's Health Fund. She proudly announced raising $400,000! She was wearing the black tank with Angel motif — stay tuned to enter to win the tank Nicole was wearing that benefits the Fund. But first, a few Fab words . . .

What brings you here?

We’re partnering up with Signorelli to raise money for the Children’s Health Fund. Just in Los Angeles, there are 500,000 children without health care and by selling the T-shirts a large amount of the proceeds are helping to fund building for mobile units. So the mobile units can go around and provide immediate health care.

Did you have any say in the design of the shirts?

I didn’t but they sent me options and I went with the black tank, I wear a lot of black.

Can we talk about your jewelry line that’s in the works?

Yes. It’s called House of Harlow and it’s actually the beginning of a brand that I’m developing of children’s apparel and also a clothing line, shoes, bags, sunglasses, everything. I’m really excited. The jewelry is first and it will be out in late August.

Neimans has been searching for a way to attract shoppers in their 20s and 30s without alienating their core clients in their 50s - and they think Cusp stores are their answer. Cusp boutiques have already been opened in L.A., D.C., and McLean, VA - one more comes to Chicago in August. The Cusp stores offer short dresses, designer jeans, T-shirts, and other casual clothes, all with lower prices than you would see on a shopping trip to Neimans.

Right now, the boutiques are marketed almost entirely online at Blog on the Cusp, which is why you probably haven't heard of them - I hadn't! Tentative plans for online shopping are currently being made, but this is exciting news, because I love Neiman's contemporary department but too often it's out of my price range!
