Prices go up and prices go down, but this year they're going every which way. While it's difficult to predict how the economy will impact the cost of products and services, there are several sure bets on both ends of the scale. Here are a few predictions.

Through the ages, women have never had a lack of complaints about the inequalities between men and women. Particularly when it comes to romance, dating and age, there's always been a lot to complain about. I wish I could say that I am not about to contribute to that litany of gripes, but oh no, I'm about to jump right in.
So, this whole "Cougar" thing. I wouldn't mind if that term got lost in the Bronx Zoo and was never heard from again. Or was shot... Click to read more »
The Vogue City is an online lifestyle magazine focused on fashion and shopping.
ABOUT
Since the inception of The Vogue City, its goal has been to offer a
community of pragmatic, stylish women style tips and shopping
advice in a fun witty voice, and to create opportunities to purchase
valuable pieces at affordable prices.
The Vogue City has established its reputation as a force, publishing
sales event news and attending several sample sales each week. Its
no-holds-barred reviews, letting users know which sales are worth
the wear on their Giuseppe Zanottis, are essential for the stylish and
bargain-minded New Yorker.
The introduction of Studio Gluck marks the site's continued
commitment to its goal, presenting its readers with access to new,
talented designers. The designers are featured through a unique
combination of stories, interviews and videos; culminating with
a sale event, where Studio Gluck opens its doors,
and presents items chosen from designer's current collection at
introductory prices.
The Vogue City has been offering ultra-comprehensive sample
sale reviews and lifestyle content since 2007, and has earned a
loyal readership that is overwhelmingly female, 30+, childless, and
affluent: a designer's ideal customer.
The consummate New York
woman herself, Gluck lives on
the Upper East Side with Errol
(her husband), Socrates (her
dog), and Mitzica (her cat).
Mirela Gluck
co-founder and publisher
Mirela Gluck has been a force in the fashion industry for more than
twelve years. Born in Romania, Gluck spent several years as the
Operations Manager of luxury jewelry mecca Piaget, before moving
on to Italian fashion house Ittiere, where she worked as a financial
analyst and cost control manager. She holds an MBA from Baruch
College of the City University of New York.
Gluck is one of the managing partners of the Graybar Group, a
fashion-focused Mergers and Acquisitions firm. Together with
her husband Errol, she founded The Vogue City in 2007 with the
intention of bringing pragmatism to the elusive world of fashion,
and well-priced fashion to New York's affluent, sophisticated and
pragmatic women.
Studio Gluck gives The Vogue City readers an opportunity to learn about a designer endorsed by a website they trust, and to obtain collector's pieces at an introductory price.
Studio Gluck is The Vogue City's marketing arm. The designers invited to participate in the program are carefully chosen from the list of those who have shown extraordinary talent and whose work is appropriate for the website's audience. Throughout the promotional period, the site will showcase the designer through photos, interviews or articles reflecting their philosophies and inspirations. During the same time the readers will have the opportunity to purchase vouchers that will allow them
to collect items created by that designer at a better than retail price. While the typical flash sales feature as much as 10 designers a day, The Vogue City will allow its readers to focus on only one designer at any given time. We are proud to be unique in what we do: although we offer an incentive for readers to become buyers, there is an emphatic aura of exclusivity as the designer is introduced with encouragement on understanding its work and not on reducing its prices.
The Vogue City audience is a
designer's dream.
With over 2,500 unique visitors
each day, the site provides a
peerless opportunity to connect
with the ideal customer.

The Vogue City has been delivering
sample sale reviews, the site’s signature editorial
offering, to readers since the site’s launch in 2007. The
Vogue City’s shopping critics visit several New York
sales a week and file detailed reports, letting readers
know which are worth visiting and which are not.
The Vogue City maintains the web’s most
comprehensive list of sample sales. Updated daily,
the site’s list includes sales in New York, Los Angeles,
and online.
The Vogue City publishes several fashion, beauty, and
lifestyle trend stories each week, keeping users abreast
of the latest and hottest crazes. We do not endorse or
review beauty products (and so apologize in advance
to PR companies who offer us beauty products for
review) and we do not write sponsored articles about
products. We do, however, welcome any news or
information PR companies would like to share with
us, as we can often incorporate that information into
a study or article. We are a small company and, unlike
large magazines, are unable to pay beauty editors to
review hundreds of products. We also believe this
crosses an important line between editorial and
advertising, something that a lot of bloggers and
magazines do at the expense of their credibility.
The Vogue City’s Very Important
Bloggers (or VIBs) are a carefully selected group
of extraordinary women who are experts in their
field. VIB bloggers include some of New York’s
most respected stylists, designers, beauty experts,
relationship experts, and more.
