On Wednesday, February 8, QVC will host a unique runway show for invited guests to introduce four new designer collections, as well as showcase the latest styles from customer favorites and preview items scheduled to launch later this month. The fashions on the runway will be styled using elements from multiple designers to present an ensemble of trends for the spring season. Celebrity hairstylist Sarah Potempa will work with iconic cosmetic brand MAKE UP FOR EVER to create fashion-forward looks for the runway.

On Friday, February 10 , viewers can tune in to QVC at 10 PM (ET) for a live NY Fashion Week broadcast featuring ladylike looks from Cristina Ehrlich and Isaac Mizrahi; styles fit for a global expedition from debut collections created by Fern Mallis and Karen Zambos; and a femme fatale vibe from QVC veteran Marc Bouwer and debut designer Cynthia Vincent. QVC will also offer compelling, behind-the-scenes video of the fashion show and exclusive interviews with the designers about their new QVC collections.

On Saturday, February 11 , a second NY Fashion Week show, scheduled to air live at 10 PM (ET), will offer the latest in urban bohemian style with new pieces from Brazilian handbag designer and model, Camila Alves and the QVC premiere of Geren Lockhart, creator of Geren Ford. Couture and contemporary designers Dennis Basso and Mark Zunino will present glamorous pieces, while editorial favorite Lori Goldstein sets out to break all the rules with her eclectic style. Additionally, viewers will see footage that only QVC can offer, including the inspiration behind the new designs and fashion industry veterans discussing the season’s biggest trends.

“QVC shoppers expect more than labels: they want to meet the designers, understand their creative inspiration, and get great advice on how to translate runway looks to real life,” said Claire Watts, CEO, QVC U.S. “Each season, we look forward to offering them unique access to New York Fashion Week, delighting them with new pieces from their favorite designers as well as introducing them to new QVC collections.”

At the beginning of each upcoming month, each fashion film will premiere on JewelMint.com and will feature that month’s exclusive jewelry collection.  JewelMint’s Facebook application [http://apps.facebook.com/shopkateslook/], now enables customers and fans to shop Kate’s looks from each of the fashion films, including ‘Morocco‘.

Bosworth commented, “I’m excited about this app because it allows the Facebook community to enjoy these fashion films in a cinematic way while also being able to view and shop the jewelry without having to leave Facebook.”

JewelMint launched the fashion film series with ‘The Look’ on January 12th during an LA  Breakfast at Soho House, where Bosworth screened the first three fashion films and a teaser for the fourth in the series.

The JewelMint fashion films will be distributed to various media outlets and will also be available on JewelMint.com, JewelMint’s YouTube Channel (youtube.com/jewelmint) and JewelMint’s Facebook page (facebook.com/JewelMint).  ’Morocco‘ can be viewed on YouTube at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ayAtnmc0sZI.

Little Black Bag draws inspiration from the Japanese shopping concept fukubukuro, or “lucky bag sale,” where shoppers buy a mystery bag of fashion products and trade the items with friends. On Little Black Bag, shoppers take an interactive style quiz and are offered a personalized mystery bag filled with the best in women’s fashion and beauty products. Shoppers then have a week to search the Little Black Bag marketplace and trade with others to assemble their perfect bag of items. Once trading is over, the products in the bag are shipped out. Trading is fun and exciting, as shoppers discover new brands and see what products are trending. In addition, select users can win “Delights” – hot seasonal products worth 4-5 times the price of their bag.

Little Black Bag offers premium accessories, jewelry, handbags, cosmetics, and home goods. In less than 3 months, the company has signed over 80 top brands like Z Spoke by Zac Posen, BCBGeneration, Betsey Johnson, and Kenneth Jay Lane, among others. Shoes and apparel will soon be available.

Customers choose between two pricing options: a single purchase option at $59.95 or a monthly membership at $49.95. A Happiness Guarantee allows users to cancel their Little Black Bag of products any time, ensuring members can shop with confidence and in a risk-free way.

“There is a genuine void in the online fashion category for interactivity and excitement,” said Co- Founder and CEO, Dan Murillo. “The vision for Little Black Bag is to bring the real-world thrill of discovery and shopping with friends to the Internet,” Murillo adds.

 Murillo and Co-Founder and Chief Technology Officer Sasha Siddhartha, both Stanford grads, along with Co-Founder and President David Weissman lead the senior team at Little Black Bag. Weissman was most recently an executive at GSI Commerce.

 ”I didn’t believe there was such a thing as ’social commerce’ before Little Black Bag,” said Weissman. “I had many start-up companies pitch me their social commerce ideas over the last 24 months, but there was nothing social about them – you shopped by yourself. Little Black bag is the first incarnation of a truly engaging social commerce experience.”

Due to the early success of Little Black Bag, the company has already expanded to include a buying team in New York City and completed several key management hires. As a result of their recent Series A financing, Little Black Bag will continue to build out their product offerings and grow their team.

Goody,

Goody solves this styling and fashion issue with the introduction of DoubleWear, a basic black ponytail elastic that has been upgraded with either a gold or silver overlay in multiple shapes/textures.  Resembling a bangle-type bracelet or eye-catching necklace, DoubleWear allows for a seamless, chic transition from hair accessory to jewelry.

DoubleWear was favored by 75 percent of polled consumers for doubling style and ease without sacrificing their look. In addition, an astonishing 91 percent report that the elastics are unique and different!  Sleek, classic, and essential, DoubleWear Elastics + Bracelets and Headwraps + Necklaces are both functional and flattering.  Convenience has never been so fashionable!

The Goody DoubleWear™ collection is on shelves now at Walmart, Target, CVS and Walgreens.

•  Goody DoubleWear™ 2in1 ELASTICS + BRACELETS ($5.99 SRP)
• Goody DoubleWear™ 2in1 HEADWRAPS + NECKLACES ($5.99 SRP)

• Black or brown slim-fitting pantsuits.  Pair these with a bright T-shirt or blouse for an instant outfit.
• Wrap dress (a chic mom favorite).
• One or two blazers in solid colors.
• One or two skirts, again in solid colors.  Skirts should be medium length (not too short or too long).
• Two or three blouses — in white, black and a bright color.
• Platform pumps are your best bet for work.  These are chic and comfy enough to be worn anywhere you need to go.

1) Sweats: Find a pair of well fitting, chic sweats. Chic sweats are ones that fit your body and curves well, are not tattered, and most important –make you feel good. Combine with a sleek tank and stylish sneakers or wedge flip[flops (in warm weather), and you can be both comfy and hip. Even retailers such as Target have their own versions of stylish sweat suits. The key to chic sweats is to find slim silhouettes and coordinated color. To add to the stylish look, find sweat suits with embroidery, appliques, and chic graphics.

2) Wrap Dress: Dresses make you feel and look feminine and stylish. Add a wrap dress to your wardrobe: they’re flattering even if you’ve just given birth. Diane Von Furstenberg created the original, and everyone looks great in them. I wore a black wrap dress to a business meeting one week after I had my son, and my colleagues couldn’t believe how chic I looked!

3) Accessories: These are the key to feeling like a chic mom because they add the final touch to your outfit. These are items other than jewelry, inclding signature peices, that can go with all of your outfits. Some essential wardrobe pieces are:

• A pair of fabulous sunglasses (to hide sleep-deprived eyes)
• A stylish diaper bag
• A designer (well made) handbag

4) Fabulous Sunglasses: Sunglasses are a great way to invest in a designer purchase that’s not too outrageously expensive. The first thing to remember when buying sunglasses is that they protect our eyes from harmful UV rays and help protect against crow;s feet and wrinkles around the eyes. Find a pair that provides 100 percent UVA and UVB protection. Next, to find a pair of sunglasses that best suits you, a general rul is to look for a shape that is opposite your face shape (so a square fram if your face is round, and a round pair if your face is angular.

5) The Perfect T-Shirt: You learned earlier how to find a pair of well-fitting jeans. What you wear on top with those jeans is equally as important. A collection of fitted T-shirts in a variety of colors can be easy to access and pair with your jeans or wear under a jacket. For wintertime, I suggest logn-sleeved T-shirts (again, well fitting, not loose) or turtle necks, which are stylish and pratical. When you’re buying T-shirts here’s what to look for:

• Length: A flattering length for almost everyone is right at or below the hip.
• Fit: A chic T-shirt should be formfitting, but not too tight that it shows what’s underneath. It should also be cut on bias (more of an hourglass shape, going out at chest, in at waist, hug at hip). Buy it an inch longer than you want it to be, because the shirt is likely to shirnk.
• Neckline: You can find a variety of necklines on T-shirts. THe best are deep V-neck or scopp neck.
• Sleeves: Short sleeves are great: however, my preference is elbow-lenght leeves, which give a “dressier” feel to the T-shirt and help to cover any arm flaws.
