Saks and Neiman Marcus Announce Layoffs

Posted Jan 24th 2009 at 6:00PM by Tiffany Neal

Filed under: Style in the News

saks fifth avenueYou know things are bad when the rich stop shopping at the rate they use to.

Last Thursday, Saks Inc. announced it would be letting go 1,100 in-store and corporate support jobs, or 9 percent of its work force. But wait, the luxury department store also has plans to scale back on some of the commitments it had made to those employees who it will maintain, namely eliminating merit-based wage increases and suspending matching contributions to employee 401(k) plans for at least a year.

Chanel's new high-concept makeup counters

Posted Sep 17th 2008 at 5:16PM by Lindsay Miller

Filed under: Cosmetics, Fragrance, Daily Obsession

Chanel is revamping its makeup and fragrance counter at Saks Fifth Avenue's flagship New York store.

The new, 850 square-foot space--bigger than most New York apartments--will offer fragrance experts to introduce customers to Chanel's 43 perfume concentrates, eight makeup artist stations, and a digital history book about the French fashion house.

Our favorite feature is Chanel's Miroir Lumiere light-box mirror, tucked away inside the "VIP consultation room." The mirror mimics sunlight at different times of day and in different seasons.

After all, if a shade of lipstick works whether it's summer or winter, morning or night, we might be able to justify its $36 price tag.

Dress of the Day: Rory Beca Virginia Dress

Posted Jun 26th 2008 at 11:55AM by Sarah J. Gim

Filed under: Clothing, Dresses, Must Haves

rory beca virginia silk mini dress
We're doing a second Dress of the Day today, partially because our motivation melted in the late-June heat yesterday, and partially because we couldn't wait until tomorrow to gawk at this silk handkerchief masquerading as a mini dress.

The Virginia Silk Mini Dress by designer Rory Beca is a little wrap style dress, and by "little," we mean "extremely super tiny," that is held closed in the front with a snap button at the crossover V neckline and a solid sash belt that ties.

Apparently, there is an elastic waistband that would be helpful for those of us who might need a little bit of give around the waist, but really, if that were the case, we shouldn't be wearing a dress that falls a mere 17" from the natural waistline.

The dress features side slash pockets which we assume is only for show. If you put anything in those pockets, they'd drag the dress right off your body.

Available from Saks Fifth Avenue for $322.

Michelle Obama's style secret: Maria Pinto

Filed under: Style in the News, Celebrities with Style


We're enjoying all of the Wall Street Journal coverage about Michelle Obama and her sartorial choices. Last week it was about what she wore on The View. This week's Michelle missive reveals the name of the designer behind the purple "fist bump" sheath dress, and so many of Michelle's great looks: Chicago-based designer Maria Pinto.

Giorgio Armani receives Couture Council Award for Global Fashion Leadership

Giorgio Armani is hot stuff in fashion right now. Well, he's always been hot stuff, that's nothing new. So it's no surprise that when it came time to name the first ever FIT Couture Council Award for Global Fashion Leadership, he was an obvious choice.

GlamRock watch is better than Brett Michaels

Posted Feb 25th 2008 at 1:30PM by Sarah J. Gim

Filed under: Accessories

glamrock watchOf course everyone wants a ToyWatch ever since Oprah mentioned it as one of her favorite things a few months ago, but I think I found a watch that is so much better, even though it has a stupid name.

The GlamRock watch might make you think it's some sort of studded black leather band with a rhinestone skull on the dial's face that Brett Michaels would wear (if you're old enough to have had a crush on Brett like I had a crush on Brett, thank you). However, the name says "rocker," but the watch is a little more refined and leans slightly more toward the "glam" side than "rock" side with flashy wristbands, matching dial trim, and a little bit of shiny metal. I love the Miami Patent watch, shown, with its white patent leather band and black contrasting trim.

GlamRock watches are available from Saks Fifth Avenue from $900 to $2,000.

Oh yeah, maybe it's the pricetag that makes it glamrock.

With Green House, Saks must think eco is chic

Posted Jan 29th 2008 at 7:43PM by Sarah J. Gim

Filed under: Handbags, Stores We Love, Accessories, Men, Hair Care, Cosmetics, Skin Care, Style for a Cause

saks fifth avenue green houseIt must be official. Though I hadn't yet formed an opinion either way. a lot of people were saying that "eco" in fashion and style was a passing fancy. Like shoulder pads, leggings, and eelskin, eco is just another trend that would be hot for a while, but eventually die out.

Oh wait, leggings came back in a big way, and apparently, Saks is putting their money on eco. They now have a (sort of) permanent section on their online store called Green House, "the home of eco smart style." Structured just like the rest of the site, there are sections for women's apparel, accessories, beauty, and men. I'm guessing with this entire section dedicated to eco brands like Beau Soleil, Loomstate, and Organic, Saks thinks eco is worth it. Of course, we'll wait and see if they put a permanent link to it, instead of from a promo section on their front page.

Luxury shoppers might start crowding our H&Ms and Targets

Posted Jan 11th 2008 at 10:44AM by Sarah J. Gim

Filed under: Stores We Love

shopping
If you only wear the affordable GO! collections at Target and love shopping at H&M, watch out. It might get a little more crowded this year.

That's because "luxury" shoppers aren't shopping as much at their usual high-end stores.

According to BusinessWeek, stores like Nordstrom, Saks Fifth Avenue, and Neiman Marcus saw tiny Holiday increases in sales, if not a drop, this past season, and are expecting a major slowdown. Retail expert Patricia Pao says, "Everyone's shopping for the bare necessities, and people have stopped treating themselves."
