ShoeDazzle to GO RED for Women in February 2010

Hello Fashionistas!

Due to the overwhelming success of our first cause marketing campaign for Breast Cancer Awareness Month, I am excited to announce our next campaign coming up in February 2010: Go Red for Women! For more information, visit: http://www.goredforwomen.org

"Go Red For Women celebrates the energy, passion and power we have as women to band together to wipe out heart disease and stroke.

Thanks to the participation of millions of people across the country, the color red and the red dress now stand for the ability all women have to improve their heart health and live stronger, longer lives."

Did you know?

Heart disease is the No. 1 killer of women in America. In fact, more women die of cardiovascular disease than the next 5 causes of death combined. That’s including cancer!
We are in the process of selecting the perfect red pump for which we will donate 10% of the proceeds to the American Heart Association to support the following:

• Medical research
• Awareness and education
  
• Community programs to help women live longer, stronger heart-healthy lives.

Help us get the word out to the press about our upcoming campaign in support of Go Red for Women in February and National Wear Red Day on February 5th so we can contribute to the important fight against heart disease!

HOW SWEET IT IS!

It's officially listed on Sephora's website, E!'s reality siren, Kim Kardashian will unveil her new fragrance exclusively at the makeup mecca's stores this February. Just in time for Valentine's Day. Kim has been looking forward to this day for a while. Her mother, Kris Jenner and her dreamt of this very perfume. It took over a year to develop.

The ad campaign debuted this week and shows off a very vintage KK. I am sure this is not the last of beauty products from Miss Kardashian. The smell of celebrity is oh so sweet!

HOLLYWOOD'S NEWEST STAR

Designer

Zuhair Murad has the ability to make every woman look absolutely stunning in his pieces. Zuhair is in tune with the female body and knows exactly how to compliment it.

Murad, a Beirut based Lebanese designer always had aspirations of being a designer. "Ever since I was a child, I used to imagine designs for imaginary clients. I have always loved to work in the word of luxury and design...As my country in well known for its natural beauty...that expertise...made me fall into the world of haute couture," said Murad.

Murad opened his first atelier in Beirut in 1995 but his debut in 2001 at Paris’ Haute Couture Fashion Week launched his career and soon enough, his line caught the eye of the world’s fashion elite.

Zuhair Murad also contributed his expertise to Spanish retailer, by creating Mango by Zuhair Murad. The world’s most impressionable fashionistas and Hollywood starlets alike favor his high end and ready to wear lines.

His fabrics are luxurious so it’s no surprise that Hollywood Royalty is obsessed with his masterpieces. Eva Longoria Parker was spotted last week in a dress from Zuhair Murad’s 2010 resort line at the Latin Grammy Awards in Las Vegas and she looked absolutely stunning.

Miley Cyrus is a huge Zuhair fan; she rocked a gorgeous gown that was straight off the runway to the Grammy’s which helped give her style a more mature twist on the red carpet. She looked more like a gorgeous Hollywood starlet in a Murad gown than the usual teenybopper we’re familiar with.

Paris Hilton, Kim Kardashian, Carrie Underwood, Beyonce, Shakira, Christina Aguilera use Zuhair as their go to guy for red carpet event stunners. His frocks are always sure to land these leading ladies on the best-dressed list and there is no doubt that Zuhair Murad is Hollywood’s next favorite designer.

BLAZERS FOR YOUR BODY

Blaze into Fall with this super hot trend: THE BLAZER. The basic jacket that is an essential element to everyone's closet. Great as a suit and great as separates. Dress them up or Dress them down, this piece is ultra versatile. Not sure which blazer is right for you? Let me help. There is a style for every BODY, remember FIT is key! Follow these simple rules and you'll be a setting this season A-blaze!

CURVY. Compliment curves with a slightly over-size cut that skims the body rather than hugging trouble spots. Stick with solids or simple patterns; anything too busy will create the illusion of extra volume.

Toni says: "Contrasting trim on the lapel and cuff can definitely create a slimming effect. Find a jacket that contours to your curves and fits you in the shoulders, arm length, and torso."


Brands that suit this shape: I <3 Ronson, BB Dakota, Steve Alan, and Lily + Jae.

PETITE. Don't drown in over-size, non-shape long blazers. Opt for dark colors or an interesting lapel to draw attention upwards.

Toni says: "Opt for an accessory like a loosely tied scarf or statement necklace to add some pizazz to your top half."

Brands that suit this shape: The Limited, BCBG, TopShop, and Mango.

SMALL BUST. Want a quick augmentation without the surgery? Try a fitted blazer with a bold pattern and shimmer to add dimension up top. A snug fit creates shape and flatters a tiny frame.

Toni says, " Experiment with colors and patterns, it will only enhance the appearance of a more womanly shape!"

Brands that suit this shape: Forever 21, GAP, Armani Exchange 

TALL. Long and lean is beautiful. Statement blazers slim the figure and tall frames can carry them off without fail.

Toni says, "This is your opportunity to try sequins, patterns, and bold colors, be bold for Fall!"

Brands that suit this shape: Volcom, Shopbop, DKNY, and American Eagle

SHOES FOR A CURE, it's a WIN WIN!

As October approaches, we are quickly reminded by every pink ribbon that it's BREAST CANCER AWARENESS month. An important time of the year to celebrate being a woman and all it's sexiness-- and that includes FASHION!

Kim Kardashian's company, ShoeDazzle.com, that I am a Shoe Style Expert for is doing our part by teaming up with Susan G. Komen for the Cure, to offer a Limited Edition Breast Cancer Awareness Shoe, the pink “Stephanie” pump. Ten percent of the proceeds from each Stephanie pump sold will be donated to Susan G. Komen for the Cure. BCA is a personal cause to the company. For starters, the pump is named after the loved one of a ShoeDazzle employee who has a rare form of breast cancer. Also, Kim found her grandmother’s experience with breast cancer to be life-altering, and so the company wanted a way to show their commitment to prevention and awareness—and they wanted to do it in style.

ShoeDazzle.com, monthly online “shoe society” co-founded by celebrity style icon, Kim Kardashian. For just $39/month a team of celebrity stylists (led by Kim, who serves as Chief Fashion Stylist) select five styles of shoes for you based on your unique fashion personality and tastes. A member then chooses which of the five she likes best and those shoes are sent to her doorstep. $39 is quite a steal as it includes a stylist, shoes and the cost of shipping, and it’s easy to opt out any month you don’t find a pair of shoes you love.

HOW TO BE BOOTY-LICIOUS

Just like finding the perfect bra to lift, separate, and accentuate, finding the perfect jean with those same characteristics is just as important. Most women aren't born blessed like Beyonce or Kim Kardashian. How do you get those "lovely lady lumps" if you are not genetically gifted? Worry no more, there are a few tips and tricks to create the illusion of a ridiculous rump, that requires no lunges or squats. (on a fitness note, squats and lunges can really help lift and tone your booty without fail.) What is the price tag of a designer jean that can create the bodacious bum of your favorite celebrity?

If you already have a little 'junk in the trunk' and just need a little lift, without going under the knife, I recommend denim designers that have a higher, detailed pocket, such as, True Religion, Hudson, Joe's, Levi, and Miss Me jeans. The smaller the yoke at the waist and the pockets positioned higher can lift the posterior just as if you'd been doing squats for 6 months. And the added benefit to these denim lines is that it will also shrink the your waist, because the fit gives the mirage of losing at least 5 lbs! Who doesn't love that? Create a rear and have a smaller waist? Yes, fashion is good for you!

Here's a quick shopping list from these designers for those of you who suffer from FAS (Flat A$$ Syndrome):

• True Religion "Joey", in a dark wash. The embellished pocket helps give fullness and lift. Retails at $260. TrueReligionJeans.com


• Hudson "SuperModel" boot cut jeans in Scorpio wash because they have a slight spandex in the fabric, to slim the thigh, hips, and waist. Retails at $180. Nordstrom.com


• Joe's "Honey" bootcut in Gigi wash perfects a feminine silhouette. Retails at $145. Available at Macy's.

If you are not ready to splurge on True Religion, Hudson, and Joe's jeans, try these 2 less expensive options for recession-savvy fashionistas, trying to not only pinch a penny in their cheeks, but their pocketbook too:

• Levi 522 boot cut jeans are amazing for the women on a budget. They will definitely lift and tone your tush just like the expensive designer jeans above, but are more affordable. Retails at $69. Available at Levi.com.


• Miss Me jean, dark wash, 6 pocket boot cut hugs the thigh and widens slightly at the knee giving a sleek polished, and put together look for any occasion. Retails at $88. Available at MissMe.com.

Simple rules for obtaining the terrific tush:

1. Pockets. The position of the pockets is so important. Also, the embroidered and flap pockets on the back of the jeans is essential when highlighting your assets. My favorite are the Hudson jeans.


2. Cut the bum in half. The hem of your shirt should be long enough to rest right at the center (horizontally) cutting the bum in half, this will round out your bottom.


3. Added Umpf. Hollywood always has a little secret and I discovered these little pair of perfect panties at a gifting suite last year- Bootypoppanties.com. They are a comfy lil boy short panty that come in a variety shades of girly colors and have padding sewn right into them that will give you the bodacious booty that would make Giselle jealous. These panties are a favorite of Ashley Tisdale, Kelly Ripa, and Anna Faris.

Avoid bigger pockets, loose baggy jeans, and just say no to the low rise jeans! These are fashion no-no's for women looking to plump up their lady lumps!
