designed by coupons for toms shoes seems to speak to women
Special pieces. The Row line, designed by Mary-Kate coupons for toms shoes and Ashley Olsen seems to speak to women (especially the younger set) who live the sort of life that requires clothes for special occasions but who aren’t interested in traditional suits or eveningwear. Think cozy chenille jackets or cashmere tops with an under layer of sheer chiffon or with a full-length skirt.
Furry accents. Ken Downing, fashion director of Neiman Marcus, said that even the fur turning up on a lot of runways could motivate younger shoppers.
A summer wardrobe starts with a 47.50 one-piece swimsuit that looks like it’s hand-painted with gold, or a leopard-print jumpsuit (99) with thickly beaded luxe collar.
Meanwhile, the Per Una Speziale graphic-print dress (109) really is a honey.
Packed with summer colour, the draping suggests a completely different price point.
Accessorised with flat sandals by the show’s stylist Catherine Condell, it concluded the Miami glamour story.
Now, we don’t mean to exaggerate. Sometimes you can find a pair of sneakers in the grey toms shoes front row. Usually they’re studded, perhaps part of an overall grunge look belonging to some handsome and hip young man, or to a woman on crutches. Although, last year, this reporter witnessed a woman on crutches at a fashion show, the injured foot in an orthopedic boot, the other in … wait for it … a stiletto.
Piaggi has never gone anywhere without a hat, and Jacobs had some doozies on the runway. Made of multicolored mink, they tilted this way and dipped that, like something out of Dr. Seuss. The getups were just as off-kilter: Wool stoles were buttoned over wool coats worn on top of patchwork skirts above cropped pants. Colors were all over the map; prints ranged from oversize paisleys to floral pencil doodles, and holographic appliqués dripped off dresses. Tinsel turned up everywhere. And volumes, in marked contrast to his strict, severe collection of a year ago, were turned up, too.
Settlers of Catan. And I thought liking Risk made me a geek. I’ve squandered entire days with this “award winning game of discovery, settlement & trade,” which is just about the only board game I can get my girlfriend to play with me. (She wins often.) My only gripe: Putting the board together is nearly impossible, especially when playing on anything other than a perfectly flat dining room table or hardwood floor.
