Event: January 2008 Archives

Not just a Valentine’s Day staple, the color red has certainly come a long way. From Lipstick Queen’s deep crimson lipstick (the shade du jour), INC’s cranberry baby-doll coat, to Christian Louboutin’s signature fire-engine red soles, nothing feels more empowering than sporting the color rouge. In fact, the power shade has become so big, that February 1st is now officially known as national “Wear Red Day.”

Don your favorite scarlet-colored apparel at any Macy’s department store on Friday, February 1st and you’ll receive a 15% savings pass valid for nearly all their red hot merch. Should you forget to wear red on that day, Macy’s is offering customers a “Go Red For Women” dress pin and a 15% savings pass with any $2 donation to the American Heart Association. You can shop without the guilt knowing that all contributions received will benefit the Go Red For Women Movement.

As for me, well… I’ll be sporting my freshly colored cinnamon hair.

Happy shopping!

Can you believe those iconic Members Only (MO) bomber jackets from the ‘80s are back? I know… I too was shocked when I heard the news. After a 20-year hiatus, MO has been resurrected with a flashy women’s collection designed by former US Weekly editor, Kelli Delaney.

While the cheese factor still exists, MO’s new silhouettes are surprisingly chic with a rock ‘n roll twist. You’re still getting the same stretchy waistbands, zip-up front and buckle neck closures, but you’re no longer paying for el cheapo nylon and polyester. That’s because MO’s “new and improved” lineup is fabricated from buttery soft Italian lambskin leathers that top the $1,430 price range (ouch!)

All the colors and cuts have been updated too: from Winter white belted trenches, dark navy men’s-inspired vests, black quilted patent biker bombers, capped-sleeve ensembles embellished with gold coin buttons to form-fitting mini knit dresses in strapless and plunging v-necks (ooh la la!). My favorite newcomer: a glitzy metallic gold bomber that Cameron Diaz just bought.

Check out the new Members Only collection at Henri Bendel in New York. RevolveClothing.com will also be selling the line as of February. Visit membersonlystyle.com for more information.

What’s your take on the new Members Only collection? Would you wear these bombers with stovepipes or leggings?
