Store Appeal http://storeappeal.com Great stores, great stories Sat, 23 Apr 2011 01:01:35 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 Leisurely Trousers! http://storeappeal.com/2011/04/leisurely-trousers/ http://storeappeal.com/2011/04/leisurely-trousers/#comments Tue, 19 Apr 2011 22:01:28 +0000 Chloe http://storeappeal.com/?p=2970 I am so happy to hear that trouser pants are coming back into style.  With a look of comfort you can feel relaxed and enjoy your day of leisure. Always make sure to pair your trouser or wide legged pant with a tighter fitted top, like the Vince Favorite Tank Top, because you never want to look too baggy!

Check out the Vince Wide Leg Knit Pants, or the Rachel Pally Wide Leg Trousers in black or tie dye!

A great pair of eye-catching sneakers can make a drab outfit instantly fantastic. And who better to jazz up those feet of yours than Puma! Puma is a German company founded in 1924. Can you believe it’s been around for this long? I’d like to think it’s because of their constantly inventive and creative approach to the ordinary sneaker. Since then they have developed more than just footwear, with sportswear and accessories and sporting goods as well. Puma is a great go-to for a cool new pair of shoes. See below for some awesome finds from Puma:

PUMA Women’s Speeder RP Sneaker, $59.95. Great eye-catching purple!

Super cool fold down suede that can be worn folded or up! Puma Sugie Suede shoes, $65.50.

But look on the lighter side, its a great time to buy some new swimwear! 

Vitamin A is a new line I just discovered that has swimwear made to fit anyone’s body shape. From customizing the size and coverage of your bikini cup, to the low riding string bikini bottom that offers coverage that’s sexy not skimpy, vitamin a swimwear is the new non-slip – feel good – must have!

A few of my favorites are the Mahogany Stripe Halter Bikini, the Hudson Reversible Side Tie Bikini, or the Silver Collection Rio Ruffle Hot Pant in Wonderland.

Still not comfortable baring it all? Try on the Gold Collection Diane Poncho in White Pave Diamond, its shows just enough to still be intriguingly sexy on or off the beach!

It’s extremely comfortable and doesn’t stretch out after a few months of wear.

Stretchy and supportive, and Nike always has the best quality materials and a reputation you can depend on. With Nike Dri-Fit you can rely on staying dry while your sweat is wicked away to the fabric’s surface, allowing you to say cool and dry while training or working out. Check out a few of my Nike Dri-fit picks below:

Nike womens Dri-FIT workout pant, $30.00.

Nike Dri-Fit Filament Capris, $39.99.

Nike Dri-Fit Road Race Shorts, $25.00.

In their “Celebrity Style” section you can find a wide range of clothing and jewelry, the same as seen on the stars themselves!

My focus was set on the House of Harlow collection, Nicole Richie’s lovely jewelry collection that mixes her bohemian retro tastes with a 1960′s flair. It’s a wonderfully wearable collection of rings, bracelets and more. I especially adore the dainty, vintage looking rings that are perfect for stacking among one another or with your own rings!

The 14kt Gold Triangle Cocktail ring in Turquoise, $45.00

House of Harlow 1960 Silver Feather Row Ring, $39.00.

The House of Harlow 1960 14KT Yellow Gold Thin Stack Ring, $23.00.

Cosmetics have become a staple in almost every woman’s arsenal of makeup. Constantly coming out with new product labels and launches, MAC has something exciting and fashion forward all year round. On their website’s “What’s New” section, you can check out the new Lady Gaga collection and the M.A.C. 2011 Wonder Woman Colour Collection. Doesn’t it look like fun?

I’d love to try this M.A.C. ‘Wonder Woman’ Penultimate Eyeliner, $19.50, for a glamorous thick cat-eye look.

Once in a while I’ll treat myself to a few fun items from their seasonal collections, but more often I like to stick with their basics. These are a few of my favorite M.A.C. Cosmetics products I can’t live without:

Every woman I know swears by MAC’s Russian Red for a classic, sexy red lip. MAC Lipstick, $14.00.


The perfect liner that glides on smoothly, doesn’t need sharpening, and is perfect for lining your lower lashline. MAC Technakohl Liner, $14.50.

A light powder and foundation for double duty! MAC Studio Fix, $26.00.

She is even recognized in the collection of the Costume Institute at the Metropolitan for her invention of the wrap dress! Thirty years later, her gorgeous runway and ready-to-wear collections continue to amaze me.

You may wonder how exactly does one re-invent the simple ol’ wrap dress year after year? Well, see for yourself with a few examples from her current collection:

A wrap dress with some military influence and a touch of femme with the sash at the waist. The Diane Von Furstenberg Naudia wrap dress, $365.00.

A luxe, simple wrap dress that looks ridiculously comfortable and perfect for dressing up or down. The Diane Von Furstenberg Marin Wrap dress, $365.00.

A delicate silk wrap dress with a fun graphic print. The Diane von Furstenberg Arely Bias Dress, $345.00.

Luckily I discovered Blackbird Ballard today, a menswear online retailer based in Seattle. It is the epitome of cool: think black leather, button-up’s, and quality basics. They even have a men’s apothecary section and an awesome mercantile section full of books, homegoods and more. I love the look and feel of the products they chose. It is a sophisticated and well tailored selection of fine clothing, accessories and more. Check out my favorites below:

Men’s Zuriick Shug Mid Leather Oxford, on sale for $114.99.

Tokyo Milk “Poe’s Tobacco” Cologne, $28.00.

Obey Clothing High Fashion Sweatshirt, $72.00.
