Fashion in 2010

admin — Tue, 13 Oct 2009 08:10:51 +0000

There are many trends that will unite and create a special cocktail of motifs and ideas in autumn 2009 and in 2010.

Graffiti will hit the market with an explosion of colors and art, like in the 80s, when they’ve been an important trend for jeans and t-shirts. Probably this time the importance will be even more, involving more products, like shoes, as example.

80s will be back, suggesting old ideas and mixing them with modern feelings. I’m talking about the economic crisis, that will end soon, opening the way for new trends: strong shoulders, thigh high boots, lace, cloaks.

Classic, old and new ideas all together to express the desire of a new year free of the economic problems: new designs and new colors. But we’ll find also a special care for tones of gray and fabrics like velvet.

As conclusion, we can say that this year will be a very special year for fashion, and anyone will be able to find a personal look very easily. Let’s go shopping!

New Shopping Tour Service to bring out-of-towners and locals to the neighborhoods’ best kept shopping secrets

Because of the continuing explosion of online shopping, customers are getting more savvy then ever regarding unique designers, brands and fashions. In the past, stores dictated the trend and brands available based on their traditional distribution channels. Now shoppers drive trends, and put local stores and up and coming designers on the map through their global exposure to alternatives on the internet.

Urban Shop Guide, a Chicago shopping tour operator, helps small groups explore the blossoming fashion scene. The guided neighborhood tours feature luxury transportation, knowledgeable guides and customized itineraries, taking visitors to the smaller boutiques populating trendy areas such as Lincoln Park and Bucktown.

“While Michigan Avenue has incredible national retailers, Chicago’s best kept fashion secrets and up-and-coming designers are tucked away in its vibrant neighborhoods,” says Julie Cameron, Urban Shop Guide’s founder. An industry veteran and Chicago resident, Cameron is poised to show visitors and locals Chicago’s trend-setting alternative shopping venues and the customers, based on the demand driven from their internet shopping research, are ready to branch out.

New boutiques are opening up weekly, and now shoppers are as in tune with what boutiques and new designers are opening in London, Chicago and New York as they are in their own backyard. Sites like DailyCandy.com make it easy to quickly follow trends in a number of major cities.

Urban Shop Guide tours enable visitors to find the newest gems and enjoy a full day immersed in Chicago’s colorful neighborhoods. “We want each participant to feel like a local for the day, feeling the true character of the area,” says Cameron. “Itineraries also include a dose of history, food, drinks and art so that the customer has an authentic feel of the city.” Additionally, an element of customization will be added for each group so that fashion veterans from New York, L.A. or overseas will be just as engaged as a group from a smaller city.

Ten Tips for Shopping Online This Holiday Season

admin — Mon, 05 Nov 2007 15:15:07 +0000

Kathy Grannis sent me this very useful article by Shop.org.

Shop.org is the network for retailers online. Its 600 members include the 10 largest retailers in the U.S., and 70 percent of the Internet Retailer Top 100 E-Retailers. It’s where the best retail minds come together to gain the insight, knowledge, and intelligence to make smarter, more informed decisions in the evolving world of the Internet and multichannel retailing. Founded in 1996, Shop.org became a division of the National Retail Federation in January 2001. Shop.org programs and activities include benchmarking research, events and networking communities.

Ten Tips for Shopping Online This Holiday Season

1. Plan Ahead. Having a set list of gifts you intend to buy helps minimize confusion, especially if you intend to make multiple purchases through several websites. Shop.org encourages consumers to start their online holiday shopping at www.cybermonday.com, a site which will offer current promotions of more than 400 online retailers throughout the holiday season.

2. Shop safely online by using common sense. A golden rule of online shopping is that if something seems like it’s too good to be true, it probably is and you should avoid it. Shop with retailers that you trust. If you aren’t familiar with an online retailer, look for privacy and security seals, which indicate that their security and privacy measures have been verified.

3. Make sure your gifts arrive in time. Check retailers’ shipping deadlines, which are featured prominently on most retail websites. The information ensures that customers understand the last day when they can place orders for arrival by Christmas or Hanukkah. After standard shipping deadlines pass, many retailers will offer shipping upgrade promotions with later deadlines.

4. Know the retailers’ return and exchange policies. Return policies vary, so knowing ahead of time whether or not you will have to ship back returns or exchanges or if you can return them to the physical store in your area will help in the long run. Also be sure to find out who covers the cost of shipping if you need to return or exchange an item.

5. Ship gifts directly to the recipient. Most online retailers can ship items to a different location than your billing address. During the holiday season, when many people are traveling, take advantage of this feature by sending gifts ahead of your arrival. Some companies can even ship to multiple locations so you don’t have to lug holiday gifts all across the country.

6. For instant gratification (or holiday procrastinators), buy online then pick up in the store. Many retailers offer a “buy online, pick up in store” option. Check with your favorite retailers to see if this is a service they offer, then skip the crowds and head straight to the customer service counter where your items will be waiting.

7. Read the fine print. Retailers list important information such as privacy policies, warranty information, item descriptions, terms of agreement and company information on their websites. Much of this information is very useful, but is displayed in a smaller font.

8. If you aren’t comfortable paying with a credit card, research other payment options. Retailers place a tremendous importance on keeping their websites safe and protecting customers’ information. But for shoppers who are still nervous about paying by credit card, other options are often available. Online retailers offer a variety of services, from letting customers fax in an online order to accepting third-party payment options. Some retailers also allow gift cards to be redeemed online.

9. “Check it Twice” before confirming purchase. Before you complete an online purchase, double check billing and credit card information, shipping address and total cost of the order. This will eliminate any potential panic after you’ve hit the final “confirm” or “submit” button. And remember not to click “submit” twice.

10. Start a file folder. First, print and save all confirmations of your purchases. This will help in many ways, from returning or exchanging items to verifying credit card or bank statements. Also, write down each purchase. It’s easy to forget how much you’ve spent if you don’t keep track of it. This will help both budget holiday spending and balance your checkbook.
