Employee of the Week: Assistant Web Merchandiser – Cont…

Posted by Makayla Chataway in Fashion Vocabulary

It’s day two of getting to know our employee of the week, and check out how adorable she was looking today! I love the combo of the ditzy polka-dot shirt underneath a girly denim romper.  She looks innocent and flirty all at the same time. Definitely a Candy/Meadow combo just like she said…

Aside from checking out what she was wearing, I wanted to know what she was working on today. Essentially, she’s the one that makes sure you can all find what you’re looking for on our site, and today she’s working furiously to get all of the product from our July catalog (which also drops today!) up on the website.

She goes through, page by page, merchandising the clothing and accessories into their relevant categories for the web. We’re movi

Elizabeth Hurley Sashay’s Onto Gossip Girl

Posted by Anna Johnstone in Fashion Zone

Elizabeth Hurley on Gossip Girl, season 5? Do we like this news? Will her posh-actress accent end up bugging us (most likely, yes)? Were going to be borderline with our reactions at the moment. She may be glorious to look at it, but can she act?

Lizas character Diana Payne will appear in multiple episodes and as executive producers, Stephanie Savage and Joshua Safran, say, shes a sexy, smart, self-made media mogul and all-around force to be reckoned with. Diana’s entrance on the Upper East Side will change the lives of all our characters including, and especially Gossip Girl herself. I

Shoe Trends: Fall / Winter 2011 / 2012

Posted by Makayla Chataway in Fashion Vocabulary

The season of the sun will be over soon.  Time is changing so fast we hardly even notice it.  The runway is always updated with whats in store for the coming season ahead.  Its time to take a peek on what the trend would be like for the coming Fall/Winter season.

The shoe trend for Fall/Winter will be something to look forward to.  We will be watching forward to the color palettes which include: blacks, whites, metallic, neutral shades, blues, browns, violet and red.  The bright and bold colors of summer will be taking rest since the fall and winter season is usually reserved for the darker hues.

Watch out for the following materials this coming Fall/Winter season which include: patent leather, ordinary leather, animal skin, suede and more.  Round toes and pike ones will be hot for the coming season as well.

Lets get into details with whats in store for us:

Reptile Skins

The reptile leather will be very popular for Fall/Winter.  Designers will be showcasing shoes with this material.  Collections from Balenciaga, Armani, Chloe, Louis Vuitton and Valentino will feature this trend.

Suede

Suede will also be hot this Fall/Winter season.  It looks chic and classy.  Suede is a classic material which has always been present every season.  It comes in different shades making it trendy.

Platform and Wedges

Platform and wedges created a ruckus in the fashion scene during the Spring/Summer 2011 season.  For the season ahead we will be seeing classic and elegant designs of these shoes.

Lace

Lacing on the shoes transformed a new look for wedges.  It created a feminine and classic look.  For the coming season lace will still be popular but with a modern and edgier twist.

Chunky Heels

This trend will still be popular for the Fall/Winter season.  Clogs are great examples of chunky heels.  Boots with chunky heels will be hot since the season is perfect for some edgier style.
