New Arrivals from Chloe

Today is an exciting day at CDT. First, our Sale Spotlight features dozens of new arrivals from one of my all time favorite designers, Chloé. Being credited as founding the concept of Prêt-á-Porter, founder, Gaby Aghion, realized a void in the market and capitalized on it. Chloé has since become synonymous with refined glamour and high-class taste. Today you can save up to 88% off on dozens of styles of shoes, sunglasses, purses and more. The clutches that we got in are particularly adorable; they are the perfect accessory for spring/summer. Definitely worth the click!

Also, don’t forget about tonight’s Downtown Dash. All of our apparel styles will be available at wholesale prices from midnight until 3am! From Elizabeth and James and J Brand to Prada and Yves Saint Laurent, save up to 90% off on hundreds of gowns, separates, denim and more! See you at midnight!

Christian Dior. Need We Say More?

Monday, April 18th, 2011

Today’s Sale Spotlight is Christian Dior. The famed French designer debuted his first collection, Corolle (which literally means circlet of flower petals), in 1947. At a time of boxy, conservative World War II styles, Dior strove to create “flower women” with voluptuous, soft silhouettes. Harper’s Bazaar editor-in-chief, Carmel Snow, named Dior’s revolutionary direction, “New Look.” Although it’s been over 50 years since his passing, Dior’s designs continue to push the fashion envelope attracting a loyal celeb following. Lady Gaga, the most recent addition to the House of Dior, joins Madonna, Blake Lively, Ziyi Zhang and many other fashion icons. Today you can save up to 82% off on sexy lingerie, stunning swimwear and other eye-catching beach attire. See below for my top three faves of the day…

4.9.11 The Pleated Short

Wednesday, April 13th, 2011

Among my friends, the pleated pant is a topic of controversy – some love them (including myself), and others are not so fond of the silhouette. Well my question today is, what about pleated shorts? For the past couple of years, shorts have been slowly making their way into the fashion scene, until SS11 Fashion Week, where it was impossible to deny that they are definitely a must-have for spring/summer 2011. I spotted these Alice + Olivia shorts last year and instantly loved them, but wasn’t sure if I could pull them off. After seeing the trend all over the runways, I knew I had to have them. Fortunately, we still had a pair left in inventory and it just so happened to be my size (it was fate!). I tried sporting the trend this weekend. Of course the pic turned out blurry, but I included a model pic so you can see them better. What are your thoughts? Is this fashion or a fashion faux pas?

Too Good To Be True!

Thursday, April 7th, 2011

Every week when I go through the site to decide the following week’s email concepts, I come across several products that make me stop and think, “What is this still doing here?? A. It’s awesome and B. It’s sooo affordable!” I do everything in my willpower not to hit “Add to Shopping Bag“. So I thought why not compile all of these items into one Sale Spotlight for you to enjoy. And because I love all of these items, I can’t just pick my top three faves, so you will have to check out all 50. Trust me it’s so worth it. Happy shopping!
