Tangerine Tango

Wednesday, February 1st, 2012

The youthful and ladylike shade of orange has been named Pantone’s color of the year. The delicious new fashion trend that has emerged has us drooling over everything and anything Tangerine Tango.

“There’s the element of encouragement with orange, it’s building on the ideas of courage and action that we want to move on to better things. I think it would be a disservice to go with a relaxed, soothing color now,” Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute, told the Associated Press.

 This vibrant and energetic color will get you and your outfit noticed… To be safe, pair it up with a neutral.

But if you want to go all out, pair it up with another bold color… and voilà, Color blocking!

Here is our version of the trend… What do you think?

You have obviously seen the latest accessorizing trend of layering oversized watches and bracelets… Yes, an easy trend to follow since it is all about mismatched colors, different widths, materials and finishes.

Pleasing Pastels

Thursday, January 19th, 2012

This season we found something for every fashionista out there… If in one end of the runways we found electric colors and over-the-top prints, the other end was filled with the complete opposite.

The much softer side of the spectrum was packed with cotton candy, lavender and soft shades of blues, yellows and reds.  From up-and-coming designers to well-known ones, this light pallet was on every designer’s plate.

So go ahead and embrace your softer side without losing your edge… For extra impact, layer together a couple of key pasty pastel pieces and we promise you won’t go wrong. We’ve seen this lovely color pop up everywhere from tailored suits to dresses and accessories, so no matter which way you go we are sure you’ll be making a statement and a difference!

Here we give you some simple ideas for you to start out

Bloom into Spring 2012!

Friday, January 13th, 2012

Ladies, this season the trend continues! So don’t put those roses, tulips or daisies away just yet.

Floral prints were up and down & head to toe all over the runways for Spring 2012. From Valentino to Proenza Schouler and Oscar de la Renta, florals were virtually in every designers list.

Although we’ve seen this trend in previous seasons, the new wave of florals is all about bold prints, intricate designs and vibrant colors.

Farewell Summer, Hello Sale!

Thursday, August 18th, 2011

So it may be safe to say that summer has ended.  It’s back to your hectic days but it’s not all a sad story. Chickdowntown is extending summer by offering a HUGE sale on summer merchandise. Yes, the weather is changing and now may not be the best time to stock up on shorts or the cutest bikini, but what about your vacations? You might visit your in laws down in Florida for Christmas, or your husband may surprise you with a cruise to the Bahamas for your January Anniversary. Wishful thinking?-maybe. But as true fashionistas know, the best time to shop for the season(savings wise) is, well-after the season. There are so many trends that don’t only last through summer. They can easily carry on throughout the year so don’t feel blue if ou decide to go on a shopping binge from the clearance rack.

This week chickdowntown is celebrating the end of summer by offering an amazing sale on “last chance” items like sunglasses, shorts, flirty dresses and more. You won’t believe the discounts on these hot summer items. But what else are we suppose to do? We’re trying to move this stuff to make way for new inventory!

What do you think of “after season” shopping? Are you completely against shopping on the clearance rack because you know it’s stuff from last season, or do you embrace it? Below are some of the summers hottest trends. Bold colors, animal print, 70′s Glam etc. Are these trends history or will they still be hanging in your closet for a couple of more months?

One of The Boys

Friday, August 12th, 2011

 

There are so many trends to keep up with this fall, from 70’s glamour and lace to color blocking and feathers it just doesn’t stop. One trend that seems to standout though, is Menswear for Women. To sport this trend doesn’t mean borrowing you boyfriends button up and slacks, but rather sporting a masculine looking blazer or a pair of trousers but still putting a feminine touch to the look so that you don’t go overboard. This week on Chickdowntown, we are celebrating this look by having a sale spotlight on this trend. You’ll find blazers, wide leg trousers, loose fitted button ups and other “masculine but feminine” items. It’s a bold trend but true fashionistas like you can surely pull it off with no problem.

Also this week, summer is slowly but surely coming to an end and although it may be settling in that your lazy days at the beach are over, there’s still something to celebrate: Great designer merchandise on Chickdowntown! This week we have an amazing back to school special featuring HUNDREDS of fall must-haves. From denim to watches to shoes and sunglasses, chickdowntown has all your fall essentials. Expect to be talked about-in a good way, and be ranked Best Dressed this year!

Take a look at the Menswear for Women Trend Below. What do you think of this trend? Is it too masculine or is it easy to pull off with the right accessories?

Vroom Vroom!

Thursday, July 28th, 2011

On chickdowntown.com we hope that you come to us not only for your favorite designers at a fraction of the price, but to also find the latest fashion trends. This week we continue to bring you the latest trends in offering a sale spotlight on biker fashion. For some it’s a hit and for others it’s a miss. The rugged look of biker fashion can be tricky as you don’t want to overdo it and look like a real motorcyclist (although, that’s not such a bad thing). We have taken the Biker Chick and made it Biker Chic. The biker chic look can be achieved by pairing a leather zipper jacket with sexy skinny jeans. Or if you are really brave, you can pair skinny leather pants with a loose crop top. Whatever you’re comfortable with, we’ve got you covered. Other latest fashion trends that we are highlighting this week are Pleats. With trend forecasting and of course from what’s seen on the runway, it seems as though pleats are going to be seen everywhere this fall(add that to your back to school shopping list). What do you think about pleats? Like the biker chic look, pleats can sometimes be a love it or hate it type fashion.

Since its summertime we decided to ditch the usual “little black dress” and feature a spotlight on the little white dress. We all know everyone needs a little black dress, but now with white being a must have color no matter the season, a little white dress is imperitive. Other features to look out for: A pajama sale for your slumber needs and a midsummer sale on hundreds of items. Sunglasses, watches, jewelry, denim etc. Everything you need to continue your summer in style!

Let us know what you think!

 Pleats: Love it or hate it? White: Only before labor day or now a year round trend? Biker Chic: Love it or Leave it?

Set Sail-into the 70′s!

Friday, June 24th, 2011

Memorial weekend is usually the unofficial start to summer but now we can officially say: SUMMER IS HERE! The temperatures are getting hotter, your outfits are getting smaller and your patience at work is getting testier as you constantly look out the window, waiting for the end of the day so you can hit the beach! This week we are honoring summer and offering amazing discounts on wedges & espadrilles, swimwear and an ode to the 70′s. The 70′s glamour look is an awesome look for the summer. You probably have more 70′s style clothing already in your closet than you think. Got a pair of gianormous shades? Flared jeans? A leather vest? One piece bathing suit? A flowy peasant top? Consider yourself in the 70′s! Fashion in that time was about bold colors and feminine looks, 2 things that seem to be everywhere in summer 2011. Make a statement and bring out those groovy styles!

Also this week, add a couple of inches to your height and enjoy sky high deals on sky high wedges and espadrilles, and make a splash in your one piece swimsuit by Chloe. If you miss out on these don’t fret-there’s always the downtown dash happening at 12pm-3pm every day!
