FORGET THE "IT" BAG OR THE "IT" GIRL. THE NEW "IT" IS NOT HAVING "IT" AT ALL. THAT'S RIGHT MY FELLOW NEW YORKERS AND FRIENDS ACROSS THE COUNTRY, UNEMPLOYMENT IS IN.

GILTY When Charged

I'm in love. Head-over-heels, can't-get-enough-of-you, in love. After months of searching, blind dates and lonely days, I have finally found The One.

Which explains why I've neglected the blog. You know when you start dating someone new and you get so into it that everything in your life takes back stage to your love? It happened to me.

People always say that when you find The One, you just know. This being my first true love, I understand that now. I knew right away that I had finally found what I had been looking for. My love has all the qualities that I look for and makes me feel utterly and completely happy.

Just to clear things up, my love doesn't come in the shape of a man, it comes in the form of my new amazingly perfect job, the Special Events Coordinator at Gilt Groupe. I started a month ago and I have a feeling that the honeymoon stage will continue through our Golden Anniversary.

I'm sorry dear readers for leaving without any notice, and for being gone for so long. You are still special to me and I have room in my heart for both my job and you. Thank you to all my friends who inquired about my hiatus and encouraged me to keep the blog going - which I am going to do. I can still call myself the Red Carpet Recessionista, because technically Gilt Groupe is recession-friendly. The blog will still go on, and continue to evolve as my life changes with the new adventures of my job. Stay tuned as I bring you stories from backstage, the red carpet, the VIP line, the model castings, the DJ booth, the closet and my always-full Gilt shopping cart.

I've compared the job searching to dating before, and I seriously stand by my word. It was a long, hard process of finding Mr. Right Job, but now I see it was worth the struggle and wait. For those of you still searching for The One, don't worry, you will find it. Never settle, because the perfect job is out there waiting for you.

And until you find the perfect man and/or the perfect job, how about the perfect pumps at the YSL Friends and Family Sale this week?
