The Christmas of Fashion: Fashion Week!

Friday, September 16th, 2011

It is probably one of the most exciting times for fashionistas everywhere as Fashion Week is in full effect. We’ve been glued to our computers as we have been researching up to the minute updates on what’s been hot on the runway. We’ve been in awe at some of the new trends that have emerged such as the ‘Sporty Chic’ look and old trends that are here to stay-such as color blocking. A major trend alert that has been seen in many collections: Peplum! This may give us a flashback into the 80’s but be prepared to see it when you are out doing your spring shopping. The trend adds a girly touch to your wardrobe whether it be on your jacket, sweater or even your basic tops. Another 80’s look taking over the runway? The Mullet.  No, not the awful hairstyle. Mullet Hems. You know, short in the front, long in the back. Seen mostly on skirts and dresses, the look gives an illusion that you are wearing a mini when looking at you from the front, but someone looking at you from the back will think you are wearing a long skirt. It’s a great look for formal events.

We couldn’t help but have a fashion week special that you can find as soon as you log on to Chickdowntown.  Find all the latest looks and spring 2012 fashions when you clock on the homepage banner on Chickdowntown. Happy Shopping!

Labor Day and The Great Debate

Thursday, September 1st, 2011

Labor Day is just around the corner and as the day approaches so do the sales! Your weekly trip to the mall will probably be well worth it, but shopping this weekend on chickdowntown won’t leave you with that guilty feeling you get after the damage is done. We are having an amazing Labor Day sale where you’ll find all of your favorite designer merchandise-sunglasses, jewelry, handbags, watches and more for up to 90% in savings! Yep, up to 90%. We want to clear out our inventory so we can bring in new merchandise and continue bringing you the best in designer fashions- for of course at a fraction of the price you would find elsewhere. The best part? No need to wait in those ridiculous lines at the mall. Who wants to stand in line for 45 minutes? Enjoy your long weekend the right way!

Now, for the great debate-will you wear white after Labor Day? This fashion “faux-pas” has been around for so long but these days, fashion is a bit more lenient. It’s become a way to express yourself rather than just always following what’s hot for the season. My vote?-wear white whenever you feel like! White started off as a summer color, but we are slowly seeing it year round. So don’t tuck your white jeans in just yet. They’ll make a perfect match to your winter whites!

Let us know what you think-As a dedicated fashionista, will you fold up all your white clothes after Labor Day or will you stretch your white maxi throughout fall and winter?
