Seeing Turquoise at New York Fashion Week

I love the color turquoise and am getting excited to see it all over the place at New York Fashion Week for spring 2010! I want this bag, seen at Davidelfin!

I love this little dress from Cynthia Steffe.

There is obviously many more colors meshing with the turquoise in this BCBG dress, making for a lovely mix of color. this is probably my favorite dress seen so far.

From the Teen Vogue Fashion’s Night Out Show.

The celebrities are wearing it too. Here is signer Amerie at the BCBG show.

Fashion Friday: Wants From Day One of New York Fashion Week

Gwen Stephani arrived for her L.A.M.B. show at Milk Studios carrying this lovely blue bag. It is suddenly my biggest want of the moment:

I am also rather fond of this look form Elie Tahari. I love orange and saw it used in several day one shows.

I also like this one from Elie Tahari. I like the light weight capris seen at the Tahari show:

And just to show what a sucker I am for both gray tones and just about anything L.A.M.B.:

Fashion Friday: Jimmy Choo for H&M!

This is sure to be a blockbuster. Can we get in line now? Jimmy Choo is teaming up with H&M. Slated for November 14, 2009, the line will include shoes, bags and women’s clothing.

Footwear will be in the $99 to $129 price bracket with perhaps a few more expensive items. Ballet flats will run in the $59 range. Handbags will run from $59 to $299. The news so far is that markets will be limited and the stores have not yet been announced.

There might be women fighting in the aisles over this one!

Fashion Friday: Going to the Ballgame!

Today’s Fashion Friday post is in honor of the opening week of baseball!

Going to a ballgame doesn’t mean you can’t have some fashion fun. Here are some ways to look great, yet relaxed at the same time:

Wear casual updo. For ideas, check out this list at Total Beauty with seventeen of them that you can do in ten minutes or less.

Wear flats, but not tennis shoes. Ballet flats, flat chunky heel sandals, or dressier flip flops will keep your feet comfy without looking frumpy.

Keep makeup light and girly. You don’t want to be sweating your makeup off. Wear a light tinted moisturizer, waterproof mascara, and a light gloss for a fresh look.

Dress like a fashionable fan. Wear cute clothing or accessories with team colors instead of a full wardrobe of fan gear. Or opt for a crisp white shirt with only one piece of fanwear such as a logo tank top, or a ballcap.

Want to really dress the part of a fan? Look for a team theme handbag, such as this one for the Chicago Cubs. It looks a bit dorky online, but I saw a woman with it at the park who looked fabulous and repeatedly got compliments on the bag.

Must of all be comfortable and enjoy yourself. Ballgames are not for high style, they are for casual and relaxed fun.

Does anyone own a Gustto bag? I’m curious how you like it!

A Visit to Marshalls Cube

Marshalls sent me a gift card to go check out their in store Marshalls Cube. If you are not familiar with Marshalls it is a retailer that stocks a multitude of brands at discount prices. Stores such as this usually obtain overstocks and such from top names at greatly reduced prices and then sell them at a discount over what you would find in a regular department store.

The Cube is Marshalls’ “in store boutique.” Essentially, it is an area set aside in the store for more young, trendy, and hip types of items. When I visited, I found that the cube did indeed have a nice selection of items and it was a good way to locate a variety of trendier items instead of having to locate them in the general store racks. A large amount of the clothing was sized for teens, although there were some misses sizing in there as well.

Brands ranged from a large selection of Baby Phat, to Calvin Klein, to a few pairs of Seven for all Mankind jeans priced at an incredible $39. I spotted a very nice yellow/orange coat, that I considered purchasing, and also took a look at the wide selection of handbags and sunglasses in the Cube. With those, the store again did a nice job of sorting out the trendier items. There were also a selection of shoes, but since Marshalls also has its own monstrous shoe department that tends to be pretty well organized, I’m not sure that the Cube is the first place in the store that you want to check for shoes.

Ultimately, I hung onto my gift card because I’m hoping to find some of those Seven for all Mankind jeans in stock in my size on a return trip. That is hardly a sure thing, but you never know!

Overall, if you are looking for some trendy bargains, stop by a Marshalls and check out the Cube. They also have a nicely laid out Facebook Page that you can join.
