According to the Madison Avenue Spy, now may be the time to bag a relative bargain on the Chanel 2.55 you’ve been eyeing. August is expected to bring a 20% increase in prices as certain luxury retailers begin to show signs of bouncing back from the difficult times that hit many people around the world.
Still, is now the best time to hike prices – particularly at a double digit rate?
If you haven’t taken your summer vacation yet, you’re probably planning on one soon. But before you step out that door to a few weeks of blissful obliviousness, we have a few products to help put your eco-conscious mind to rest.
Calvin Klein Jeans is known for having fairly racy billboard advertisements, or just racy ads in general. Last year the label debuted an ad in New York City depicting a two guys and a girl in a threesome, and a fourth undressing on the floor that was too suggestive for many people. This year it looks like the brand is trying to capitalize on that history while avoiding it at the same time.
We don’t know if it started with Sir Mix-A lot’s obsession with Oakland booties, JLo’s most infamous asset, Venus Williams’ pension for showcasing her backside with itty bitty lingerie-like tennis gear or Beyonce’s gloriously fierce curves, but somehow it is now officially trendy to have a big butt. So trendy, in fact, that New York Daily News dedicated an entire feature to the phenomenon. Regardless of the cause for the trend (It’s probably a combination of all these reasons), a slew of new products have hit the market to help women with flatter rears fill out as a result.
If you live on the East Coast, you may be discovering that the heat is bit too unbearable in your work clothes. Good news: the weekend is just around the corner. And we have the perfect dress for enduring this uncomfortable weather.
So you know by now that Lindsay Lohan is going to jail, then rehab. Understandably, the leggings designer wasn’t pleased at being punished for missing court ordered alcohol classes.
“It’s been such a long haul. … I don’t want you to think that I don’t respect you.”
– Lindsay Lohan addressing Judge Marsha Revel
But her manicure suggests otherwise. With “fuck u” scrawled on top of her middle finger, Lohan seemed to be flipping the court off.
We’ll have to wait for September to know for sure, but with her antics becoming increasingly irrational, and a court imposed time-out of 4-6 months, Lohan’s 6126 fashion plans may join the growing list of personal failures.
Wonder Woman has been a childhood fantasy for generations of youngsters since her debut in 1941 by DC Comics. The superhero’s iconic crime-fighting ability, bathing suit and knee-highs are universally recognizable (and by most little girls, imitated).
Unsuccessful attempts to modernize the character resulted in poor audience acceptance and the company inevitably returned to the original star and eagle suit. If it isn’t broke, don’t fix it right?
It’s always the quite ones. Once only a titan among booksellers, Amazon has grown to be a shopping source for, well – everything.
The Seattle online retailer announced plans to relaunch their online clothing and shoe business with a focus on the high end market.
What do you get when you cross Lady Gaga with a Convent of the Sacred Heart high school graduation ceremony? Answer: a tragic mix of terrible fashion and bad taste. Throw in some alcohol and lately, that’s been a repeat combination.
