Beauty Byte: Fragrances for Tory Burch and Queen Latifah

BellaSugar — Mon, 02 Jun 2008 08:00:25 -0700

One of the little secrets of the fashion industry is that any given designer's big money comes from selling perfume, not dresses. It makes sense: Most women can't afford a Dior gown, but they can splurge on a Dior fragrance. Those beauty sales add up to make millions of dollars.

So it's no surprise that Tory Burch is working on her own signature fragrance. The LA Times reports that along with adding to her accessories line, Burch is developing a fragrance. "I like coriander and tuberose and Vetiver by Guerlain," she says. There's not much news beyond that at this point, but I wouldn't be surprised if the scent were to launch in a year or two.

She's not the only one, though. Queen Latifah is also getting into the scent business. To find out more about it, read more.

Queen Latifah has inked a deal with Parlux, the same company that produces fragrances for Paris Hilton and Jessica Simpson. The yet-to-be-named scent is due next fall. "I see fragrance as just a natural expression of this state of love - scent expresses a woman's confidence and sensuality, it's how she embraces her body, her mind and her strength," Latifah said to WWD. No word on what the perfume will smell like, but this is one celebrity scent I'm actually looking forward to. Something tells me it won't be powdery or fruity; let's hope that Queen does something unusual.

Fab Flash: Retailers Dish on What Sells in Tough Economy

FabSugar — Wed, 22 Oct 2008 12:30:00 -0700

Despite retailers desperate attempts at special promotions and sales, consumers are still gripping their purse strings, tightly. "Specialty retailers have been pulling out their entire bag of tricks in the desperate hope of convincing the reticent shopper to spend,” said Catherine Sadler, president of marketing firm Catherine Sadler Group. “But, as we all know by now, it hasn’t worked." With their failed attempts, retailers are now trying out a different strategy by looking for what customers want in this tough economy.

Sadler notes that new items with standout qualities such as J. Crew's high-end line at affordable prices and Anne Taylor's smart move in creating washable clothes will be retailers only hope. According to retail reports, customers want classic items with a twist such as Banana Republic's Tie-Neck Black Dress ($175), Lacoste’s Long Sleeve V-neck Sweater Dress ($165), and Tory Burch's Purple Crinkle Chiffon Blouse ($295) seen above - all of which were reported as current best-sellers.

Sequin Style

FabSugar — Tue, 28 Nov 2006 11:05:52 -0800

Sequins are back! They evoke that groovy disco style that screams, "wear me on New Year's Eve!" Here are a few simple but dazzling, dancing dresses that flatter all pretty party ladies.

This Foley Sequined Chemise is a swingy and sexy cocktail dress. The sequins are iridescent and shine hints of blue and pink tones. I love the neck; it has two inches of silver beads around the collar and the bottom hem and arm holes have silver beading to match. Buy it here for $410. Available in white only.

This gorgeous long sleeved Tory Burch Sequin Dress has been worn by Catherine Zeta Jones! This sequin mini is a timeless look. It's made from mesh with sequins added to the delicate fabric. Since it's so coveted, unfortunately, it's also out of stock here - but no worries. Just call (866)480-TORY and a sales rep will help you to locate the dress in a store nearest you. It sells for $850 and is available in black only.

Club Monaco Ansia Dress is definitely a more affordable option, however, you can't buy this dress online either. Although Club Monaco currently has a website, you won't be able to purchase items online until March. Until then, you can call any of their stores to order. The dress sells for $269 and is available in black only.

Online Sale Alert! Thanksgiving Sale at Revolve Clothing

FabSugar — Tue, 20 Nov 2007 10:00:22 -0800

Just in time for the holiday that finds us all trying to squeeze into our clothes after a very large meal, Revolve Clothing is having a Thanksgiving Sale! The online boutique boasts of knocking 30–75 percent off of over 4,000 items, including pieces from Black Halo, Mike & Chris, Primp, and Tory Burch.

I waded through the madness to find myself a gem: this Gryphon The Lady Coat ($286, originally $572). The shape is very elegant - it's perfect to wear to a holiday party, and the waist makes for a figure-flattering cinched look.

Fab Site: Bloomingdales.com Got a Facelift!

FabSugar — Mon, 19 Mar 2007 17:11:22 -0700

A long time web shopper, I have always been frustrated with Bloomingdales online. I never thought their site emulated the upscale look and selection Bloomies carries. To my surprise, the retailer has made an effort to refresh their face on the web. The new Bloomies has a black background, appears better organized than before, and has a more upscale allure. Check out the homepage:

They have joined other savvy retailers like Fab favorites Neiman Marcus and Net-a-Porter by drawing you in with a beautiful home page. New features include a Designer Spotlight (currently Tory Burch), The Trend Shop, and Spotlight On: Prom (where there are some great frocks!). You can then shop by Designers, Women, Shoes & Handbags, Beauty, Men, Home, Jewelry & Accessories, Kids, Sales & Values, Shop Catalogs, Bridal Registry and Gifts. The photography has improved too; it's not as catalogy and more high fashion.

Big improvements for Bloomingdale's if you ask me, let's hope they keep it coming! In the meantime, to see some of my picks, read more

Aqua Cross Dye Swing Jacket, $58.

Only Hearts Sleeveless Metallic Tent Dress, $132.

Sam Edelman "Carrie" T-Strap Snake Ballet, $135.
