Favorites Of The Day

This dress starts from a simple fitted sheath and then ventures into the totally sexy. Look at the gathered waist with a belt that actually ties right above the waist. Turquoise blue that will leave an impression on those that normally don't pay attention to that sort of thing. This is just a classy dress.

Somethings telling me that Jimmy Choo is going to have a run on this bag! It's simple, yet elegant. Not overstated, yet stated just enough with the snakeskin handle.

Macy's To Close "Underperforming" Stores

The company's stores in Louisville, located in Oxmoor Center and Jefferson Mall, will remain open.

The closing stores are located in Washington Square, Indianapolis, Ind.; Prien Lake Mall, Lake Charles, La.; Rolling Acres Mall, Akron, Ohio; Canton Centre, Canton, Ohio; Randall Park Mall, North Randall, Ohio; Crossroads Mall, Oklahoma City, Okla.; Valley View Center, Dallas, Texas; Sharpstown Center, Houston, Texas; and Family Center at Riverdale, Riverdale, Utah.

"While the decision to close stores is difficult, it is necessary that we do so selectively in locations with declining sales and where we have been unable to identify sufficient growth opportunities," Terry J. Lundgren, chairman, president and CEO, said in a news release. "At the same time, we continue to open new Macy's store locations in communities where we believe we can operate successfully."

The closing locations employ a total of about 900 people. Macy's said the affected employees will be offered positions at nearby stores where possible.

Macy's, which has corporate offices in Cincinnati and New York City, operates more than 850 department stores in 45 states, the District of Columbia, Guam and Puerto Rico.

Environmentally Friendly Handbags

Salvatore Ferragamo has furthered its committment to environmentally-friendly causes with its Spring 2009 collection. The brand is launching Eco Ferragamo, a full line of bags created using a new ecologically-friendly tanning process. While most tanning processes involve the use of metal and result in the creation of pollutants, Ferragamo's exclusive technique creates biodegradable, water-resistant skins dyed using tannins taken from tree bark. The entire procedure is certified by the German institute SG - Mark, which ensures that no environmentally harmful substances have been used on the materials. The Eco Ferragamo line includes five hemp-lined styles, including a small tote, handbags and a maxi hobo in several different colors. Prices will range from $1,190 to $1,890, and the merchandise will appear in stores this February.

The OutNet.com

Thought you might like to know that.......This February, (Net-a-Porter) Natalie Massenet, the site’s founder, will introduce everyone to TheOutNet.com, which will exist as an outlet for Net-a-Porter.

Translation? All those old items you see on Net-a-Porter every week that still, for whatever reason, never go below 30% off, will be moved to TheOutNet for a less public price slashing. So basically, it’ll be like the Barneys warehouse sale, except everyday, and probably a lot better.
