Hair New Era

As many true Fashionistas know, off season is the best time to get the best buys. As we approach the Spring months this is the best time to purchase your staple Coats, Leather Jackets, Blazers, etc. and men are no exception. All Saints has beautiful coats and jackets for not only women but men as well. As I look for gifts for the boyfriends birthday, I'm looking into some savvy pieces for Fall 2011. There are some great finds via the All Saints website, for both me AND him. (Of course I had to throw myself in there as well :)

Now we've covered the consumer portion of a line but as I was browsing through the All Saints Spitalfields site, I noticed "scholarship opportunities" which I found to be very odd to see on a high-end fashion website. Intrigued by this placement I clicked to find All Saints helps to fund schooling for six fashionistas/os studying in fashion marketing. This is a great privilege and not to mention, just plain ol' cool. Read below for more info.:

All in all, All Saints gets a huge thumbs up from me. I'd check them out for womens jackets, mens jackets, style, and school scholarships. A pretty much one-stop-shop for Style & Philanthropic efforts.

No.5 - Designer and lower-priced label collaborations
What is it: A merging of high style with low prices.

Why it will be big in 2009: With the importance of dressing for less this year, collaborations between designers and lower-priced labels are going to be more popular than ever before. Check out the spring/summer '09 collections from Opening Ceremony and Gilded Age for UNIQLO starting in March to get your hands on some high-end designs at prices you can live with.

Don't be fooled by the name, Shoebuy.com is not only a place to find any-and-every type, kind & make of shoe by makers such as LAMB, Jessica Simpson, Franco Sarto, Stuart Weitzman & Mark Nason but you can also find everything from accessories, bags & apparel there as well. The free shipping to-and-fro is great and they also have a no sales tax policy that looks extremely attractive in financial times such as these. Sale codes and international shipping are just a couple of the many perks offered to the shoebuy.com customer and potentialee's alike.

At first glance the shoe collection may seem a bit mature in styles and their accessories not as trendy as much of todays youth are seeking at the time, however, the styles are there if you take the time to look. If you seek - then you shall find. Another aspect of the site I like are the options in which you can search through the gazillions of shoes that will just-NOT-fit you. If you're anything like me, you look for shoes that are made to fit those of the wider foot persuasion. I found shoebuy.com categorizes shoes by fit so you can search by 'narrow,' 'wide,' even by specific styles, e.g. 'rounded toe shoes.'

Shoebuy.com is a good look for the consumer still wishing to buy in a non-human friendly economy. The "world's largest site for shoes" is one worth checking out!
