FFG's Daily Fashion Blog Recommendation: Fashionably Petite
Now this might seem like a bit of a strange recommendation for a blog, coming from me. I speak so often about the difficulties of being so tall that I'm sure you are all ready to tell me to zip it. But I do understand that women come in all shapes and sizes and someone that is petite has all the same problems as me, just on a different scale! FashionablyPetite is a woman who is definitely not small when it comes to her place on "the scene" in NYC! She is absolutely everywhere. One read of her blog and you're instantly up to date on all the launches and events going on around the city. This was another blog recommended by BeautybyBenz so unfortunately I don't have any personal information. So you'll just have to trust me that this is one to keep up with!

Missoni presents Autumn Winter 2010-11 in a film by Kenneth Anger
Waiting for the September issues to run your Autumn/Winter campaigns is so last year! Example one: Missoni. I have just been sent a preview of their Autumn Winter campaign on email and surprise, surprise, it's not a still image campaign. In fact it couldn't be any more different from a print campaign. Instead it's a film by Kenneth Anger that makes the viewer feel as if they are seeing the Autumn Winter Collection for the first time through a kaleidoscope! And...it features several members of the Missoni family! Let's see if you can spot them all...
Thank you, Missoni, for pushing the limits of creativity this year. However, we still can't wait to see the print campaign (yes, it is hard to teach an old dog new tricks).
Cocosa...taking over our wardrobes one flash sale at a time
Yesterday, I had the great pleasure of meeting the brains and beauty (yeah, they pretty much all had both) behind Cocosa. For those of you just now crawling out of a dark hole, as that's the only reason you wouldn't know about Cocosa, let me explain the whole concept to you. Cocosa is like the famed Wedding Dress Sale in NYC. You are warned in advance that you have a chance of a lifetime to purchase an item you've been coveting for about 80% off the retail price. So you get your credit cards ready and stand in line with hundreds of other women waiting for the doors to open. The insanity begins and inevitably someone gets hurt. Ah, but here's the good news...Cocosa is everything up to the part of having to wait and line and put your life at risk...because you do it all online! It's a members only shopping site, in fact. Once you sign up you can opt in to receive notifications, by email, of forthcoming sales with start times and dates. When the clock strikes the appropriate hour you log in to the sale and shop "flash style" for your desired items. You have to make heat of the moment purchases because there are thousands of women (275k to be exact) lining up with you to grab the same material. And once it is gone, it's gone for good!
Launched in October 2008, Cocosa has seen incredible growth. Before celebrating their two year anniversary they have a lot to pat themselves on the back for. Their membership grows daily as the word spreads on the outstanding goods regularly on offer. They've featured brands such as Ugg, Twenty8Twelve, Alexander McQueen, Vera Wang, See by Chloe, Valentino and Karl Lagerfeld! That is a list to be proud of...and my closet wants a part of it! There really is something for absolutely everyone with over 400 sale events per year featuring over 250 brands.
Here are some facts about the site that made my jaw hit the floor upon reading:
- Top sales sell 90% of items within the first hour
- Cocosa's top customers have purchased over 90 items in less than a year.
- The fastest selling sale was Alexander McQueen, which sold out in 6 minutes!
You can now see why I am so excited to share this site with you. Not only do I love it but every single one of their customers has loved the experience they have had with the brand! I should also mention that I am addicted to their packaging which allows you to strut home from work carrying your new purchases and telling the world..."That's right, I'm a smart shopper."
"Plain Jane": New Makeover reality show...that actually involves shocking the victim into submission!
"Plain Jane" is the newest makeover reality show to hit the CW network. I'll be watching but mostly just to see the full success when this poor girl is shocked everytime she goes back to old habits. I'm not kidding...she actually gets an electric shock. Is that legal?
Check it out for yourself above!
DSW (Designer Shoe Warehouse) default message is adorable
I just had to share as I do think these little messages when sites are down are above and beyond adorable. Hopefully the same message will have vanished on DSW by the time you go to shop...which is why I had to save it for all eternity here!
