As everyone clamours to the hottest shows and soirees during New York Fashion Week, one thing will be certain - many of your favorite fashion devotees will be found rocking one of the hottest trends right now: brightly colored pumps. Give a grey dress some life with a vibrant burst of fuschia, a sleek black sheath becomes infused with a flash of cobalt blue seen on your feet and a delicate lace dress now becomes edgy with a flash of bright yellow patent! Perhaps with Valentine's Day 2012 approaching -- vixen red is your thing!? Sure, you could easily drop over $700 on a designer shoe from the likes of Christian Louboutin that would certainly be uber amazing, but what about us ladies on a budget? Below, I will show you the drool-worthy Louboutin patent shoe and another fabulous find from Charlotte Russe!
'Tis the season to celebrate for all of the Glam Damn It readers! With the holidays approaching and our social calendars filled with a flurry of events, having that 'perfect' dress is a definite fashion must. As you visit your favorite dress shop that burning question always seems to remain -- should I opt for a LBD (little black dress) or amp up my style quotient with a vibrant pop of color?! Luckily for all of the ladies out there in the city, there are so many flattering, stylish and fashion forward choices this season! One is also able to take influences from runways abound for style inspiration from designers like Betsey Johnson or timeless icons, such as Audrey Hepburn. In addition, it's wonderful that high-end celebrity stylists such as Eric Daman of 'Gossip Girl' -- design lines for retailers such as Charlotte Russe. This enables everyone out there to score that high-style look (without the high-life price) and have some green left over to buy that sexy shoe you've been eyeing or a sparkly pair of earrings that makes you feel like a Hollywood siren. Own your look with confidence and a dash of dazzle, baby! Be the life of the party!
San Diego-based Charlotte Russe announced that it was considering selling the company last week, but for now, they are focusing on a merchandising re-direct. First, Emilia Fabricant is now president and chief merchandising officer of the mall-based chain. Her goal is to move the retailer out of the realm generic mall store and into a higher-end bracket. To help with this, Fabricant tapped lead Gossip Girl stylist, Eric Daman, as a consulting creative director and signed Susie Castillo, the former MTVVJ, as the brand’s ambassador. Fabricant wants the focus of the product to be placed on value and to increase the customer base from 16 to 24-year-olds to 16 to 29-year-olds. The now exclusive to Charlotte Russe, People’s Liberation line, is expected to help with meeting these goals as well. [wwd]
Seeing that the retailer has fallen into the red, I just hope that this makeover is not already too late.
