News / Sales $175 million worth of free cosmetic products
Posted By Kimberly Lawson on Mon, Jan 19, 2009 at 9:00 AM
OK, if you're not going to the Inauguration, don't fret. At least you can take part in a first-come, first-serve cosmetics giveaway worth $175 million.
From Consumerist.com:
The giveaway is the culmination of a class action suit that accused Macy's, Bloomingdale's, Bergdorf, Dillard's, Filene's, Lord & Taylor, Neiman Marcus, Nordstrom, and Saks Fifth Avenue, among others, of fixing cosmetics prices. Though the giveaway runs from January 20-26, we'd be shocked if the products last for a full day.
For a list of the products to be distributed, check out the Cosmetics Settlement Web site.

Features What's hot this spring -- Part 1
Posted By Kimberly Lawson on Fri, Jan 16, 2009 at 10:00 AM
Recently I sat down with Arlene Goldstein, the vice president of trend merchandising and fashion direction at Belk, to find out some upcoming fashion trends for Spring 2009.
Part one of this two-part series is all about the neck and what you can put there to make a statement. In the spring, the neck is a very important part of the body to adorn — for women and men.
• Scarves have become a "seasonless accessory," Goldstein says. Women will use colorful scarves to accentuate their outfits regardless of what the temperature is like outside.
• Another accessory that will be big to frame your face with this spring is the statement necklace. You can go for a layered look with beads or bold, exotic colors. Anything to make a statement.
• For men, bold-colored neckwear is recommended. A bright, solid-colored tie will set your suit apart from the rest of the corporate types.
Check back next week for more fashion must-haves!

Features After the age of 12, your shoes should not light up
Posted By Kimberly Lawson on Thu, Jan 15, 2009 at 10:00 AM
Recently while out of town visiting family, I came across a fashion faux pas that just made me laugh: light-up Air Force Ones. The set that I stumbled across was worn by a 17-year-old. In fact, he wanted these shoes so badly, he told me, that he bought them even though they were two sizes too big. He said he wanted to bring them back into style.
What? Shouldn't you be out of that light-up shoe phase by 11 or 12 years of age? What is it about bringing attention to your kicks with flashing lights?

News What is it about American Apparel?
Posted By Kimberly Lawson on Wed, Jan 14, 2009 at 9:00 AM
If you look on the back cover of this week's Creative Loafing, you'll see a full-page ad for American Apparel. Everyone seems to love American Apparel. In fact, that is so much the case that while its competitors were reporting double-digit declines in sales, AA actually managed to pull out a gain of 3 percent, which is pretty unheard of right now with the recession. In fact, U.S. retailers are expected to begin a wave of post-holiday bankruptcy filings.
But I digress.
Why is it that American Apparel was able to make money last year when many retailers dropped in sales? Why is it that this retail chain was able to open up 81 more stores last year? Is it because of the simplistic-styled clothing choices offered in every basic solid color you can imagine? Is it because the clothing is all produced domestically in Los Angeles? Is it because the ads are easy on the eyes?
Hmm. What do you think?
