Sneak Peek!! Joe Ponce Collection :)
by JULIA
So a couple months ago I wrote a little something about one of my favorite new brands, Velvet Angel and I was intrigued by the fact that the brand was originally launched in partnership with Joe Ponce who was also the original designer for L.A.M.B., which anyone who knows me knows is one of my favorite lines as well! I mentioned him in the article and soon after posting I was so excited to receive an email from him telling me h…

His kind demeanor was so refreshing and the next thing you know I was checking out the Spring line fo…

Video of the Day-Heels.com and L.A.M.B.
by JULIA
What a great idea! I noticed recently that heels.com now features fashion shows for some of it’s brands. What a better way to entice a shopper to buy the shoe that they have been buying. It’s almost as good as trying the shoe on yourself! I would think that for a designer/sales rep, this is a cool way to partner with a retailer in an effort to increase sales. They do a great job showing fit and design of each shoe!…

by JULIA
Me, Nicole and one of the Bebe models at the launch party on August 6th.

…And the Ballots Are In!
by JULIA
Following up on my predictions for the hottest footwear trends @ WSA – here are the actual top recurring trends seen during the show. What are your thoughts? 1. Athletic-Fashion: Along the lines of my “Tech-Mesh” prediction, we saw an abundance of fashion-forward athletic footwear. However, much of the footwear had a retro feel vs. new-wave design.
