Wear Else Blog

Our hot to trot buyers are having a great time strutting their stuff down the streets of NY and picking up style tips along the way...

"Well another day of NYC city style and I am sorry but I just can't stop talking about the 6 inch plus stilettos the girls are wearing! Everywhere..... with shorts, dresses and of course the trendy skinny jean. Second runner up for popular street style is of course the patio dress and fabulous flat. Lots of patent and metallic flip flop style & flats much like the Anne Klein and Cole Haan as seen in WEAR ELSE! Frye is emerging as a big label in the majors and on the streets, and the studded flat with ankle strap is very very much a trend. Big Bracelets & stacks of bangles are ruling the accessory scene!" says Tami

"Forecast for holiday 2009 so far looks like more ruffles, chiffon, sequins and very much item driven! Look for dresses of course! Lots of jersey and dresses that are more versatile than just for parties! We start working the shoes tomorrow and if the street style is any indicator of what to expect for footwear you can be sure we will be going on about the 6 inch stiletto yet again. "

Well you heard it straight from the fashion femme fatale's mouth, stay tuned for more juicy tips!

Our buyers Tami and Debbie are on a buying trip in the Big Apple and are reporting back to us on what our savvy NY sisters are wearing and what we can expect to see for Fall 2009!

"On Saturday night we dropped into Uber Chic Ciprianis in Soho for a belini & authentic Italian food! The place was jammed and a seat for dinner was not even an option until 10:30; it was worth the wait just to see what all the beautiful people were wearing! All the fashionistas wore 6 inch heels! Definitely one of the biggest trends here as well as white denim and lots of luggage colored boho chic totes.

Sunday shopping in Soho and the of course we saw more patio dresses than ever….. Skinny jeans and deep V T-shirts are a must for the urban shopping diva! Florals are also taking over everywhere and color is King! Lots of coral, orange, yellow, & pink!

We start the heaving lifting tomorrow and will let you know what new and exciting fashion trends are emerging from fabulous New York!

Ciao for now! T&D"
