Piperlime is a great new site from Gap. You can get up to about 40% off on just about any of your favorite shoe designers including: BCBG Max Azria, Steve Madden, Sketchers, Oscar by Oscar de la Renta, and a lot more. You can search by size, style, or color to get what you want. The prices are very reasonable, but for a great pair of designer shoes you are still going to have to shell out more than you would at your local Wal Mart. Piperlime
Sick of your music? Feel like you’ve been listening to the same ol’ stuff all of the time? Whenever I feel like I need a new hip sound in my ear I can always turn to Starbucks Entertainment to help me find the right thing.
I was sitting at Starbucks today on my laptop being bored and sick of my music, so I took a peak at it online, and found some pretty cool stuff - like the new White Stripes album “Icky Thump” or Ryan Adams’ “Easy Tiger”. They also have some hot mixed CD’s like “Summertime Groove”, which has various artists like Aretha Franklin, Otis Redding… a euphoria of summertime sounds, seriously. Next time you feel like you need to update your music collection, you’ll know where to turn. hearmusic
Famous for jeans, Miss Sixty has just launched a new line of jewelry on for sale on Amazon. There are earrings, necklaces, bracelets, rings; made of stainless-steel, crystal, and leather, with prices ranging from $55 to $185. I’m impressed by the offering here, very diverse and sweet looking stuff. Shown above is the “Kult” ring for $108.
It’s time for a vacation if you ask me…but the first thing I think of is how much is it gonna cost??? Well it’s not always hard to find a good vacation package, as long as you know where to look. So since I’m a nice person (cough), I’ll help you. With Contiki you can get the experience of a lifetime for cheap. You can get to London just in time for London Fashion Week in September. But if you’re traveling, don’t forget to get some fancy luggage while you’re at it. Perhaps a Kate Spade Lisbon carry-on. So go out and have fun in style.
The Victoria’s Secret 4-in-1 Cargo Jacket is a great money saver. I bought one and I love it! You can wear it 4 different ways, so it’s great for summer or fall. It comes in herb green or khaki, and is just plain chic if you ask me. $98
I accidentally stumbled onto this website, and it’s kind of cool. They have all kinds of stars, musicians, and athletes that you can pick out clothes, makeup and hairstyles for. There’s really no point to this except that its kind of fun to do if you’re bored. I did a paper doll of Paris Hilton, but to my dismay, they didn’t have an orange jumpsuit to put her in. Stardoll
According to Reuters, Fendi’s next fashion show will be this October on The Great Wall Of China. Either their revealing a killer new collection of they’re just looking to pull a major hot PR stunt. Whatever the reason, it’s crazy cool. The video shown below is from Fendi’s Fall/Winter 2007-08 collection shown in Milan about 3 months ago.
Armani’s June trends are great for a day at the beach or a night out. I really like the Mini Silk Bubble Dress, it’s simple and sexy - perfect for a hot summer night on the town.
A new addition was added to the Levis accessory collection in Paris last week. The Levis mobile phone has a chic look with a steel casing, so if you’re anything like me and break all you’re phones…it might be harder to do with this on. The Levis phone also comes with other fun things, like music, pictures, and video. Sounds pretty darn good to me.
“Technology is at the heart of today’s youth culture and mobile phones are the ultimate accessory. Adding a mobile phone to our collection is a natural progression for Levis, a brand that is driven to meet the desires of young people.” - You Nguyen, Senior Vice President of Levis Product.
(Puppia= Puppy + Utopia)… Being a cat person myself, I guess you have to be a dog lover to understand that kind of play on words, but that’s beside the point, because these little outfits for your little friends are cute!
Check it out, they even have a virtual catwalk (or for you dog lovers if you prefer to call it a dogwalk, but for me, I’ll stick with the catwalk and my cats). Link
Now Ralph Lauren is taking ‘window shopping’ to a new, literal level . Ralph Lauren is making “a large window at its London flagship store into a giant touchscreen shopping experience as part of its Wimbledon marketing campaign.” The surface is 78-inches of window covered with a ‘touch-sensitive foil’, with images being displayed by a hidden projector.Read [USA Today]
Let me just start by saying this is not only awesome, but very addicting. You can customize everything from your track pants to your running shoes, or even team gear! NIKEiD has a huge range of options for creating a shoe (or whatever Nike merchandise you fancy) that is completely unique to you, and check this out: you can even have your name put on it! Once I designed my first running shoe, I was hooked. It’s a fun way to figure out what you want instead of a trip to the store, because you are in control of what you’re getting, and if you decide you don’t like something, it’s as easy as a click of your mouse to change the design. Shown here is the running shoe I designed. You can pick these up for a range of prices, depending on what you’re buying. Seriously- if you don’t even need a new pair of shoes try this- its just fun! NIKEiD
H&M’s website has a fun new feature. Create you’re own model to match yourself and have it try on clothes in the dressing room. Good way to see how your clothes will look on you.
Whether you’re just looking to buy something new or sell something old, you can do it with TopShop London’s charity for fashion. Not only that, they will be playing music and giving out treats at the market events. The more money you make selling your stuff equal’s the more money you’ll get off you’re purchases. You can even send in donation’s and get moolah off. Sounds like a good time to me! Now all I need is a plane ticket to London…
Aussie designer Claire Greaves, who has previously designed for the TopShop London, has come out with a new label. Maise gives a new youthful look to denim. I can’t wait to see more from this label.
