100 Sweaters To Avoid On First Date

By Laura Milligan of The Love Coach

Deciding what to wear on your first date is tough. Especially if your first date falls during the colder months. We’re here to help you resist the temptation to pull on some pilly, hole-y, stinky holiday sweater by showing you just how horrible you might look on your date. Read below for our list of 100 types of sweaters you should completely avoid wearing on your first date.

Top 10 Deal Breakers
If your sweater meets any of the following qualifications, it’s the wrong choice.

Anything that sheds: If you’re leaving behind bits of pistachio-colored wool or mohair behind you, no one’s going to want to risk kissing or even hugging you goodnight.

A stinky sweater: Sometimes we wear our sweaters more than once without washing or dry cleaning them, but if it’s a first date, always wear a clean–or at least Febreze’d–sweater.

Anything the moths have gotten to: If you find a hole under your armpit, don’t think that no one will notice. They will.

Anything that smells like mothballs: Keep your sweaters in airtight containers during the summer months. Mothballs will make your first date gag.

"Vintage": Vintage sweaters are cool but not for first dates. Especially if your idea of vintage is a triple hand-me-down from your great grandpa who loved to sleep in his sweater.

Stained sweaters: Wearing a stained sweater to your first date–no matter what kind of stain it is–makes you look disgusting and lazy.

Cashmere: Cashmere is soft and snuggly, but it’s also really hot and will probably make you sweat if you’re even the teensiest bit nervous.

Horizontal stripes: Girls who wear sweaters with horizontal stripes will just look chunky, so wear something more flattering.

Itchy sweaters: If you’re going to be itching and scratching and turning red during dinner, wear something underneath or pick a different sweater.

Incredibly expensive sweaters: You’ll be so nervous that you’ll end up spilling something on it, but you can’t make a big fuss because you won’t want to seem materialistic or rigid. Leave it at home.

Fashion Update: Designer Watches From Avelle

2008-11-03T08:38:00.000-08:00

AVELLE KICKS OFF COMPANY EXPANSION WITH THE LAUNCH OF TWO NEW ACCESSORY CATEGORIES – LUXURY WATCHES AND LUGGAGE

Designer Watches and Luggage are the Newest Additions on Avelle.com Available for Renting SEATTLE, WA (November 3, 2008) —Avelle, the new Bag Borrow or Steal, and the largest online rented-luxury retailer offering designer accessories, today announced the addition of luxury watches and luggage to their line of product offerings. These two categories are part of the company’s overall plan for expansion, moving them well beyond handbags, jewelry and sunglasses.

The “Avelle Watches Collection” is a compilation of 70 styles of authentic watches from 15 top designers, including Rolex, Hermès, Cartier and Tag Heuer. The collection also features the Chanel J12, which is currently one of the most in-demand luxury watches on the market. The “Avelle Luggage Collection” features suitcases, duffles and carry-ons from the world’s most well-known and admired designers, including Louis Vuitton and Gucci. Each watch will be individually priced with monthly rental fees ranging from $40 - $7,490. Monthly rental fees for luggage will range from $160 - $335.

“The launch of luxury watches and luggage is our way of responding to customers who have been asking us for more rental options,” said Becky Gebhardt, vice president of creative for Avelle, the new Bag Borrow or Steal. “The addition of these categories and our continued plan to expand our business is the main driver behind our decision to change our name to Avelle. The name accurately communicates the variety of accessories we offer today, which now includes watches and luggage, as well as those that we will offer tomorrow.” The decision to add watches and luggage was a result of a recent customer survey, which revealed that consumers want to rent even more luxury.

Through extensive market research, Avelle’s team of fashion experts determined which styles and designers are most popular in their respective categories to ensure customers will be borrowing the most coveted watches and luggage on the market. About AvelleFounded in 2004, Avelle, the new Bag Borrow or Steal, is the largest online rented-luxury retailer. Called the “Netflix for Handbags” by The New York Times and featured in the Sex and the City movie, the company offers a new way for anyone to access and enjoy luxury accessories, including designer handbags, jewelry, sunglasses, watches and luggage.

Members simply select accessories to rent, keep them as long as they like and then purchase, or exchange them for something new. Avelle has experienced tremendous growth and in less than a year, has seen its member base soar from 250,000 to more than one million. Avelle offers the opportunity to rent more than 4,000 styles of luxury accessories from more than 100 authentic designers, including Chanel, Gucci, Prada, Louis Vuitton, Coach, Stephen Dweck and Vera Wang.

Jewelrywhore's Weblog: Indian Jewelry

2008-10-27T08:38:00.000-07:00

Guest Contributor: jewelrywhore

Hesitation came over me as I started to get the pieces together for this post. I became worried that I love Indian jewelry TOO MUCH, and that the BEAUTIES in this post was just going to turn me into a blathering IDIOT. Too pretty! Too cool! But I’m soldiering on, and hoping it all makes sense!

I’ve always been fascinated by Indian jewelry. So colorful and vibrant and amazing. And they wear so much of it, especially on special occasions, like a wedding. You’ll be hard-pressed to find anything more beautifully adorned than a traditional Indian bride.

So I decided to do some investigating, to see what the jewelry actually means to them, why they wear what they wear. I found an excellent and easy-to-read article on Buzzle.com by Rachana Agarwal about the history of Indian jewelry.

Here’s a snippit:
India is known as the ‘gem bearing’ country. You can find ornaments for every part of the body…Ornaments are also designed for elephants and gods which shows their expertise and excellence in jewelry making art. Available data shows the rich history of nearly 5,000 years, which says [a lot] about the Indian love of jewelry. For the rulers, jewelries were the symbol of their power, richness and class.

Ms. Agarwal also talks about a couple different types of Indian Jewelry, including:
Temple Jewelry, which is traditionally worn at traditional dances and “is available in whole set containing jewelry for ears, feet, hips nose, hands, fingers and legs” and is made by specific craftsmen to ensure quality.

Manhattan Transfer: Patricia Field's New Range of Clothes

2008-10-14T12:06:00.000-07:00

With her penchant for kitsch, ultra-sexy clothes, Field might not seem the obvious choice for M&S. Yet, when I meet her in The Hotel Edison in New York, hours before she unveils the range on the catwalk, she dismisses the notion. "My look has been proven on worldwide television, and M&S is a worldwide retailer so I think it's a perfect fit," she says, firmly. Seated next to Field is Kate Bostock, M&S's executive head of clothing, clad in a red dress from the new range. "I know our customers extremely well and I know how passionate they are about the kind of stuff that Patricia has done," Bostock says.

One of the Great Unsolved Mysteries of Time

2008-10-07T05:58:00.000-07:00

Guest Contributor: jewelrywhore

Jewelry storage. How do you keep your jewelry organized, easily accessible, visible, and all in a chic way? Even though I’m the jewelrywhore, don’t look to me for the answer to this one, because I don’t have it! Believe me, I’ve tried and failed and crafted and almost lost my marbles over this.
Since I have enough jewelry to literally fill a medium-sized store, I thought I was alone in this dilemma; I am not. Seems most everyone with a decent-sized collection is suffering from what-the-frick-do-I-do-with-all-of-my-jewelry-itis.
Fear not, fellow jewelrywhores. I have scooped up a collection of ingenious, easy, and flat-out pretty jewelry storage solutions/inspirations that will hopefully help!

Fashion Theory: Seven Deadly Shopping Sins

2008-10-06T17:53:00.000-07:00

1.) You only shop the sales.

Use caution when shopping sales that you don't get caught up in the "thrill of the deal" and lose focus on whether or not the items will be a truly valuable addition to your current wardrobe. Think of the shirt you got this great deal on for $8.99; yet this fact surprises no one because the shirt actually looks like it’s only worth about $8.99. Let face it. Bad color choices and ill-fitting garments have all been purchased in these "thrill of the deal" moments. I am all for being a bargain-hunter and scouring the sale racks for discounted deals on quality merchandise; but quite frankly good intentions have gotten the best of us all while bargain-hunting. A better strategy, when you see something you genuinely like, yet are feeling a bit of sticker shock from the price; wait it out. I am a huge proponent of this strategy and have found that it works quite frequently, especially during the winter season. Retailers typically shy away from having both spring and winter clothes on display. Due to this, in February when Spring collections go on display, winter merchandise goes on sale. Winter coats and boots hits the sales rack in a major way; usually at discount levels upwards of 40%. The best things come to those who wait.

2.) You are hopelessly obsessed with the wrong size.

This again may be associated from the emotional buzz we get from shopping. "It would be so perfect if only...", if you can finish that sentence you don't need to be buying it. Reasons such as "if I just lost 5 pounds" or "if only I wore it un-buttoned" are not good arguments for purchase. Given my experience as a wardrobe consultant, I can size up the average woman in about two minutes. Typically in my consultations I'll ask my clients what size they wear. Quite often, the size my client reveals differs from my visual assessment. Most of my clients would say their biggest dillema is learning to dress to flatter their figure. After reviewing, previous clothing purchases with clients, I often discover that they are purchasing flattering silhouettes yet simply in the wrong sizes. Women are habitually known for wearing the incorrect size - whether it is bigger or smaller. The fault of course is not entirely of the consumer. One size for a particular apparel brand can be a completely different size for another brand. I have witnessed several women try on item after item of clothing, only to come out of the fitting room and reluctantly announce that nothing fits properly. In many of these circumstances, the client has simply neglected to try on more than one size. It is imperative to nix obsessions about sizes and focus on the actual fit of the garment.

3.) You can only see yourself wearing it in a fantasy situation.
You know it's the perfect dress; the trouble is you just haven't figured out exactly what it's perfect for. I'm reminded of a friend who found the perfect wedding dress, long before she accepted a wedding engagement or met someone to be the presumable groom for that matter. I admit the example is a bit far-fetched, but the truth of the matter is that my friend purchased this wedding gown based on a fantasy situation. I'm not doubting the fact that she'll get married; however when she does in fact marry it's very possible that her style, her size and her overall "fantasy" of the wedding may all have greatly changed. Purchase items that fit into your current reality.

4.) You fail to see the value of accessories.
Nothing pulls together an outfit quite like accessories. Accessories offer an easy way to create a modern, versatile wardrobe. A sparkling necklace, a silky scarf or a shiny metal belt buckle can dress an outfit up or down, take a look from day to night, or change it from office professional to night on the town. Best of all, accessories allow you to personalize your outfit and display your unique style. When your wardrobe begins feeling drab and tired, consider purchasing new accessories to punch up current items rather than simply buying new clothes.

5.) You think you're too good for Old Navy.
No one, I repeat, no one is above a $7 tank top. Basic tees and tanks just happen to be the bread and butter of low-priced clothing stores like Old Navy and H&M. Forgive me; there are some higher-end labels that do basics extremely well such as Vince, Armani, C&C, and Donna Karen. However if ever a wardrobe was lacking the frequently coveted scoop neck tanks and v-neck tees, there are no excuses. Stores like Old Navy and H&M offer a consistent supply of these basics in various colors and fits. If Old Navy is too unbecoming, shop American Apparel.

6.) You don't think you're good enough for Bergdorf Goodman.
Not shopping at a store because it's hopelessly out of your price rage - understandable. Not visiting? Downright disgraceful. News flash, the next "it" trends are not unveiled at Wal-Mart. They are fashioned and launched at high-end retailers such as Bergdorf Goodman and Barney's. Shopping is not just about buying, it's also about research. Stores like Bergdorf, Barneys, Neimans and Saks are all mini dossiers for trend setting designers like Zac Posen and Derek Lam. Since high-end retailers tend to release season collections early, these stores provide important insight on upcoming prominent trends. Still feeling a little nervous about visiting high-end retailers? Shop their respective websites.

7.) You drop off your old clothes at Goodwill; but never look to see what others are dropping off.
Some of my most acclaimed pieces are from goodwill and thrift stores. When you realize that many of the items in vintage stores were found at Goodwill; the value of these stores becomes elementary. Fashion is a revolving door. We have witnessed fashion trends go "in" and "out" from decade to decade, while classic styles have withstood the changing times of several different decades. A few things to be on the lookout for include: anything cashmere, vintage jewelry such as broaches and clip-on earrings, cocktail and evening dresses, silk scarves, and tailored pieces. Whether it is goodwill, a thrift store, or a vintage shop, keen eyes can find some amazing pieces at these stores.

Happy Shopping!

What I Just Bought: High Waist Pants

2008-09-12T07:24:00.000-07:00

The trend hit runways and stores full frontal last Fall. However, this season designer's have come to the conclusion that the high waist pant is not for everyone and have made some style enhancements which make this look (although still a little difficult to pull off) appropriate for a number of silhouettes. For my first pair (and honestly probably only pair) I scored this Alice & Olivia style in black. I'm still a little on the fence about how exactly I'm going to wear them (besides the typical silk top) but I'll be sure to take pics as soon as I figure something out.
