Memorial Day Getaway!

Wednesday, May 18th, 2011

Memorial Day

Today’s Sale Spotlight and new homepage highlight is for my favorite holiday, as it marks the unofficial start of my favorite season. Growing up on a lake in the Poconos, Memorial Day is when the summer homes are opened up and boaters make their first voyage of the year. Dock parties, barbecues, and bonfires are as endless as the boxed wine and bottles of beer. Whether you are planning a picnic in the park, a party on the beach, or a soiree on the dock, we hand selected 150 styles of apparel, swimwear, and footwear perfect for any Memorial Day Getaway. Shop Milly, Missoni, Rebecca Taylor and so many more and save up to 84% off! Below are three styles I’m planning on sporting next weekend. What are your long weekend plans?

Summer Trends

Today’s Sale Spotlight highlights a popular trend of the season: Delicate Details. Even before Catherine Middleton’s infamous lace wedding gown, this openwork fabric was spotted all over the SS11 runways. In the past we have seen an overwhelming amount of menswear inspired silhouettes – the boyfriend blazer, boyfriend jeans, etc. It’s about time that we went back to our female roots and started dressing like a lady. From lace and ruffles to eyelet and embroidery, add some delicate details for a fresh and feminine summer look. Below are three styles I’m loving right now. What are your thoughts – do you prefer menswear inspired pieces or are you glad to say goodbye to your oversized silhouettes?

Designer Spotlight: Valentino

Thursday, May 12th, 2011

Today’s Sale Spotlight showcases new arrivals from one of my favorite designers, Valentino. The only name to design wedding dresses for both Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis and J. Lo, Valentino Garavani is one of the most coveted luxury designers to date. Best known for his signature shade of “Valentino Red“, intricate detail, and figure-flattering silhouettes, the celebrity-loved label is an iconic brand of our time. Today is your chance to save up to 86% off on dozens of stunning summer styles. Below are my top three faves, although I am absolutely obsessed with the first – the Ivory Floral Print Silk Dress – to die for!

Last Minute Mother’s Day Gifts + The Downtown Dash!

Tuesday, May 3rd, 2011

Today’s Sale Spotlight features 45 last minute gift ideas for mom. If you’re like me, you still haven’t decided on that perfect present and are now starting to scramble. For Christmas I got my father a watch from Invicta and despite his extensive timepiece collection, it’s the only one he wears. Because of this, I would like to get my mother something that she can also wear everyday and be reminded of how much my brother and I appreciate her. After spending the last couple of days repeatedly going through the site, I have finally narrowed it down to these three styles. What are you getting your mom for Mother’s Day?
