Our Latest Obsession: Chloé Eyewear

Friday, January 20th, 2012

 New styles from the Chloé eyewear collection have arrived and we are obsessed!

 These sunglasses are decidedly retro-chic! Known all around the world as a “must-have” item for elegant women with refined tastes and timeless style, a pair of Chloé sunnies is, without a doubt, your best accessory.

 Aren’t these styles daring enough to give you the trendiness that you’re looking for?

Just Added:Coach Handbags,Michael Kors & More!

Friday, August 26th, 2011

This week is an exciting week at CDT. The new inventory just keeps rolling in and as we unpack the boxes, we can’t help but to get excited! What we are really excited about is the arrival of the ever so popular handbags from COACH. From the signature logo bags to the quality leather bags-we’ve just received it all. Perfect time to give that purse you’ve been rocking all summer that has sand at the bottom from the beach-a rest.

 Also this week: Michael Kors. We love the world renowned designer’s stylish dresses, chic watches and other fabulous accessories. All of his pieces are effortlessly timeless and super fashionable. We almost bought everything ourselves, but that would take away the opportunity from you guys to save up 75% off retail for this stuff! ;)

Is it still hot in your area? Not ready to throw those cardigans on just yet? You’re in luck because the Summer Ending Savings Sale is still going strong. We want you to enjoy the last weeks (or days) of summer and not have to sacrifice your inner fashionista. We are well aware that all you are seeing at the mall is winter coats and boots, so to stretch summer out for a little while longer we have bathing suits, shorts and more at incredible prices.

What are some of your favorite brands? Any that you would like to see that we have yet to offer on Chickdowntown? Here are some of our favorites this week from Coach and Michael Kors. Get yours now before it’s too late!

Delicate Details

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?

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?

And if by chance none of these styles strike your fancy, don’t forget about tonight’s Downtown Dash. From midnight until 3am, hundreds of sunglasses will be available at wholesale prices! I guarantee mom would love a fancy pair of designer shades. She doesn’t have to know that you saved up to 88% off! See you at midnight!

The Perfect Pair

Monday, March 28th, 2011

We recently received a shipment from two of my favorite designers, Vera Wang & Versace, so we decided to team up these coveted luxury labels and bring you one exciting Sale Spotlight. Vera Wang, best known for her wedding designs, got her start in fashion at Vogue. She was the senior fashion editor there for sixteen years and decided to leave the company when she lost the editor-in-chief position to Anna Wintour. Five years later, she opened a design salon in the Carlyle Hotel in NYC. Wang has custom designed gowns and costumes for countless celebrities, athletes and political figures. She now has several different collections, ranging from The Vera Wang China and Crystal Collection to a diffusion line called Simply Vera (which is sold exclusively by Kohl’s). Versace is an Italian fashion label founded by Gianni Versace in 1978. When Gianni was killed in 1997, his sister, Donatella, stepped in as creative director and his brother, Santo, became CEO. As wished by Gianni in his will, Donatella’s daughter, Allegra, received half of the company in 2004 and now has final say in all of the important decision’s of the clothing line. From gorgeous silk dresses and floral print frocks to chic asymmetrical jackets and fun ruffled jumpers, shop from a variety of styles and save up to 81% off on these two prestigious designers. Below are three pieces I’m loving right now. Enjoy!

Effortlessly Elegant.

Thursday, March 24th, 2011

Last week I went on vacation with my best friend of twelve years. We had a very in depth conversation about the way women dress and the one statement that really resonated with me is when he said, “It’s all about being effortlessly elegant.” Now by no means is he into fashion (at all), but it really made me stop and think. Women dress fashionable for other women, but when you are dressing to attract a guy, they (and I mean most, there are always exceptions) don’t want the ripped up jeans, liquid leggings, jumpsuits, neon dresses, etc., etc. They want simple, classy, chic. So for today’s Sale Spotlight, I wanted to highlight three lines that I think really fit this description. DVF (my first real “splurge” other than on designer denim), Cynthia Steffe and Maisonette all offer stunning styles that flatter a woman’s body and are appropriately stylish. And most of them can effortlessly seam the gap between 9 to 5 and 5 to 9. Below are three styles I’m loving right now. What are your thoughts on my new “revelation”?

Drama Queen.

Tuesday, March 22nd, 2011

Today’s Sale Spotlight showcases a variety of accessories recently added to the site. Some of these pieces were in my all-time favorite accessories lookbook shots (see below). From statement necklaces from Adia Kibur and functional mini harmonica necklaces from BLOW (my personal favorite), to colorful peace bangles from Citrine by the Stones and delicate charm necklaces from Jules Smith, shop various springtime styles and save up to 59% off!
