Look Who Will Be at Fashion Week: The Snuggie!
Dolce & Gabbana, Chanel, and Rodarte are going to have to save some space on the runway during New York Fashion Week, because the folks who brought you the Snuggie — you know, the blanket with sleeves! — are going to stage a runway show of their own “to showcase the latest colors, fabrics, and patterns” and “to dish about the sexiest looks in blanket-wear.”
That’s right — blanket-wear. Not only are the Snuggie peeps considering comfort when designing for women, they’re thumbing their noses at the size barrier that keeps some models off the runway.
Retailers Offering More Options For the "Woman of Size"
"When you’re fat you stand out anyway. It’s really important to go all the way and do something fun or even outrageous with your clothes."
— Annie Maribona, founder and part owner of Fat Fancy, a boutique in Portland, OR, that sells modern and vintage clothes up to size 24.
Casa Quickie: Steamer-Free and Wrinkle-Free
I'd love to own a garment steamer, but I really don't need another space-hogging appliance lying around the house. While I do actually enjoy ironing, I tend to leave it to the last minute, so it's impractical for my morning routine. Wrinkles aren't practical either, though.Instead, I hang my clothes from the rod at the end of my shower (far from the faucet), close the bathroom door, and then take my morning shower, letting the steam do all the work.
Danskin Yoga Gear Goes Organic
You try to eat organic, but do you dress organic? Organic cotton is becoming increasingly popular among eco-minded types, since it's grown without the
large amounts of pesticides that bathe conventional cotton — about 1/3 of a pound of chemicals per one cotton t-shirt! Organic cotton is better for the environment and our health.
Dear Poll: Do You Dress Sexy For Work?
I like to think I look cute when I come to work, but my dress is pretty modest and laid-back. Some women, on the other hand, use coming to the office as an excuse to look their best. I love seeing style around the office, but knowing your audience is incredibly important — seeing your co-worker's provocative side could be slightly uncomfortable!
Review: Danskin X-Training Jacket
The weather is starting cool, considerably in some parts, and that means wearing more layers — sometimes even indoors. I don't like feeling cold, but so many sweaters, jackets, and hoodies are just too bulky, so I have been looking for something form-fitting, cozy, and thin. I put on my new Danskin X-Training Jacket ($76) a couple of days ago and have yet to take it off.
Dear Poll: Do You Enjoy Shopping?
Sometime in the last couple decades shopping has become a tongue-in-cheek euphemism for therapy, at least as far as ladies are concerned. If you’re sad, it’s nothing a quick trip to the mall won’t fix, or so Cher from Clueless taught us. But even though I'm a fan, frankly, I think it’s just silly to assume that all women get a kick out of shopping.
Want Cheap Clothes? The Cotton Industry's Not 100% Fit
The global economy is about to hit your Saturday morning shopping spree. As we've seen food prices grow in response to higher crop prices, fashionistas should be ready to see their clothes prices follow suit, and it's a two-piece problem.
People watching their purse strings are causing garment makers to see a rapid decline in their own bottom line.
Turn Signal Bicycling Jacket: Cool or Not?
This Turn Signal Biking Jacket, designed by Leah Buechley, uses wrist-mounted switches to activate LED arrows on the back. It's easier than using old-fashioned hand-turn signals, and the lights provide an added element of safety.
Though it's not for sale — I think it's just a prototype — this could be a smart purchase for cyclists.
Get Your Butt in Gear: SpreadShirt
If you're training for a marathon for charity then you're probably looking to get more donations, so one way to be creative and up those charity dollars is with SpreadShirt.com — and design your own gear shop online. Not only can you give away personalized T-shirts to your donators (say you charge $25 for the shirt, which means $10 to create it and the remaining $15 can go to help support your charity), but you can also create your own shirt to make a statement on the race day, or whenever you wear it. I mean, how cool would it be to have your kids wearing a "Team [insert your name here]" shirt as you cross the finish line?
