Designers Drop Prices to Get Right with Your Wallet

Filed under: Style in the News, Steals and Deals

closeup of Lacoste alligatorWondering how you're going to afford your next piece of designer clothing? Good news, you might not have to donate plasma after all. Taking a cue from last year's brutal (for retailers) holiday season, designers like Lacoste, Coach and a host of others will be dropping their price points significantly. The idea is to avoid another winter of retailers marking their wares down 70% -- which is not so good for a designer's ego.

Liquidators Choke on Influx of Unsold Clothing, Send it to Siberia

Filed under: Style in the News, Steals and Deals

In the aftermath of a pretty dismal holiday shopping season, low-price retailers are now being inundated with what has been described by one veteran of the liquidation market as a "historic glut of goods." Ross, TJ Maxx, and similar retailers have been having a kind of heyday as consumers went bargain hunting over the holidays. Now, there's so much unsold junk out there, liquidators are sending it off to remote locales like Africa, Siberia and Pakistan.

Economy Down, Shoplifting Up - Fashion Crime

Filed under: Style in the News

Made arrested for shoplifting in front of SephoraIf you're looking for uplifting holiday news about caring, sharing, and giving -- this story isn't for you. This news is for those who for whatever reason find it enthralling to think about how shoplifting correlates to the broader economic climate in our nation's struggling retail stores. And according to the experts, shoplifting is very trendy this economically stagnant holiday season. In fact, retail theft is up %60 from just a year ago. Yikes.

Coach summer 08' collection

Filed under: Handbags, Accessories


Ah, yes. Coach. Our middle school supplier of leather handbags and adorable wristlets. We temporarily fell out of love with the brand once they began covering practically everything they created in cheesy logos, but all has been forgiven with their most recent collection.

Still churning out totes and satchels with big and bold "C's" on them, Coach has made a legitimate effort to make chic and classic leather goods for all those not wanting to appear as if they were walking advertisement for the brand.

You could be a Coach tote designer

Filed under: Handbags, Accessories, Contests & Giveaways



Are you one of those people who is always customizing her bags? Do you doodle design ideas and imagine how cool it would be to see someone walk down the street wearing something you dreamed up? Are you just waiting for your chance to be the next big name in bags?

Well, if you're really that good, Coach might produce your design. Plus give you other prizes!

Coach is sponsoring a contest where you take one of their "iconic" totes, and create your own design. All you have to do is download the template and start designing. You may use the Coach logo, the signature "C" pattern, or the striped "legacy" pattern, or come up with something completely unique. It's up to you.

The new Coach bag: Ergo

Filed under: Handbags, Accessories


At last a Coach bag without that extra ten pounds of crazy brass hardware weighing it down. We've loved the style of Coach for years, but our little shoulders, or our habit of carrying everything in the world in our bag, kept us from ever getting one.

The company finally figured out that they're missing a target market, Bag Crazy Bag Ladies, and came out with a new line called "Ergo" which is short for ergonomic. Lightweight, soft, with clean lines, we're very tempted by these bags. They're still crazy expensive, but the Coach story has always been "you'll have it forever" so maybe that works for you. Prices and some pretty colors in the gallery.

When you check out the site, make sure to click on the awesome "Try this bag on" feature on the site. It shows you the scale of the bag on an average woman, both holding it in your hand and on your shoulder.

Ask StyleList: Stylin' at 60-plus

Filed under: Accessories, Clothing, Ask StyleList, Dresses

A StyleList reder recently emailed in with the following question:

Can you give me information on stylish lines of clothing for women and men for the 60+ crowd? I'm looking for lines that design with "mature" figures in mind, but still have a great sense of style.


Great question! Why should the young people have all the fun? Kudos to you for caring about your sense of fashion at 60 plus -- if only everyone your age could feel the same way. But I digress ...

There are some great lines out there that cater to an more mature crowd and they are nothing you would see standing in line for senior citizen discount at Denny's.

High End- There are a few high end designers you can look to either to purchase clothing from or just to grab some inspiration from. All brands can be found at Nordstrom.com as well.

Coach's first fragrance debuts March 5

Filed under: Cosmetics, Fragrance

coach the fragranceAnd don't worry, the first fragrance ever from the American leather goods company won't have you smelling like, well, leather.

The fragrance, which is called Coach the Fragrance (no need for a fancy name the first time around!) is the product of a partnership between Coach and Estee Lauder. It is made from green mandarin, honey, and sandalwood, an interesting mix of sweet and woodsy. Not quite my taste, but sure to please someone.

Coach the Fragrance will debut on March 5, 2007, and will be available as a 1.7 oz bottle for $68, a 0.27 oz purse spray for $42 and a solid perfume for $40.
