2208728: Avril Lavigne Launches Abbey Dawn Clothing Line
Adding a touch of romance to rocker raiments, an array of miniskirts, T's and hoodies from Abbey Dawn, Avril Lavigne's recently launched line of apparel and accessories, makes shopping a little less "Complicated."
*Nothing says schoolgirl chic quite like a pleated plaid miniskirt. Made of a cotton/polyester blend, the 13 inches of flirty fabric are decorated in a distinctive pink and grey crisscross pattern, while an accompanying studded belt offers a bit of punk/pop attitude. A tiered miniskirt in black also makes a bold statement. The rayon/nylon/spandex blend comes with a matching black snap belt.
*Avril Lavigne's passion for plaid surfaces once again both in a pair of deep purple cotton blend pants cut in a straight-leg style, and a pair of grey and black Bermuda shorts enhanced with a chain-link accent.
*De rigeur for any rocker's wardrobe, the Canadian chart-topper puts her own special spin on the classic T-shirt with a wide range of designs including a winged skull, newspaper logo and polka dot graphic suspenders.
*A leopard pattern tank top take on a touch of femininity with the addition of hot pink, while a studded neckline provides a hard edge to a girlish ribbed tank.
*Far from camouflaging your curves, Abbey Dawn's hoodies are body-hugging to comply with contemporary street style. Juxtaposing the fragility of fluttering wings with one of the signature goth symbols, the butterfly skull hoodie is in intriguing marriage of innocence and rebellious independence. The short-sleeve, black and hot pink cotton garment features a ribbed trim, two pockets and a star charm zipper.
Princes range from $24 - $48. Sold exclusively in the juniors department at Kohl's, visit www.kohls.com or www.abbeydawn.net for more information.
Knowing that nothing flatters feminine curves quite like the perfect pair of jeans, L.E.I. offers a wide range of denim designs, many of which can currently be seen on country music cutie Taylor Swift in the brand's latest ad campaign. The teen chart-topper professes her personal preference for skinny jeans, which can be found in the Krystal style, which is available in asphalt tornado (a faded grey), ozone dark blue and black.
If boots are in your fall wardrobe forecast, then the Lady and Alice styles featuring the slight flare for which the boot cut is famous is the right fashion fit. For casual comfort try the flared jeans, such as the faded Ashley style or the Sophie, which comes in a darker denim.
Available in juniors and junior plus, the figure-fitting bottoms can be matched with LE.I.'s line of casually chic camisoles. The Grace style support cami, which features spaghetti straps and a lace-trimmed hemline, comes in royal blue, blue, black, fuchsia and light grey, while the Samantha style offers two camis in one. Both dotted and star-patterned under layers are available.
Cooler weather is just around the corner, and you can look stylish while snuggling with your significant other in a hoodie jacket. Emblazoned with an LE.I. graphic, the Susan style overdyed zip hoodie is available in flattering fuchsia, white, grey or black. For a touch of girlish glamour, the short-sleeve Emily Pullover Hoodie, featuring a drawstring bow, offers the buyer's choice of a butterfly or a heart design, while the cap-sleeve Jenny snap hoodie is available in plain colors or a star pattern.
Scoring a home run with female sports fans since its launch in 2007, the Touch clothing collection from actress Alyssa Milano combines the comfort of timeless sportswear with a sexy, contemporary edge. Following are just a few of the fashions that sport the logo of America's top baseball teams:
* A wardrobe staple for every sports enthusiast, the classic raglan shirt gets a feminine facelift with the addition of side rouching.
* A rayon jersey peasant top designed with a flattering scoop neckline and dainty cap sleeves or a full button, 100% cotton jersey cap sleeve blouse featuring flouncy frills along the front will wow the crowd when you show up on the jumbotron.
* Whether you're watching the boys of summer round the bases or standing in the batter's box yourself, a two-layer tank top is an out-of-the-ballpark look. An adjusting drawstring helps to emphasize your waist, and a racer back shows off your shoulders.
* Let your love for your favorite team shine in the off-season with a silk satin jacket, created with a ribbed collar, cuffs and waistband, while a 100% cotton rib hoody accented with an elastic gathering at the waist is fashionable fall attire for all baseball fans.
* Female fans can make a stylish statement from the stands in a spaghetti strap dress. Designed with an empire waist, ruffled hemline and a bra top, this girly garment's still got game- your favorite team's logo is embroidered on the lower left side of the skirt.
* Be a vision in a visor the next time you go to the ballpark. Framing your face in a more feminine way, the shortened classic visor is embellished both with the embroidered name of your preferred team and the team's rhinestone-studded logo, while a honeymoon visor brings a touch of romance to America's favorite pastime by adding lace trim, satin taping inside the band and a rhinestone-accented team logo.
Regarded as Tinseltown's top trendsetter, it comes as no surprise that the Paris Hilton footwear collection is in step with this summer's hottest styles. From Roman-inspired gladiator sandals to highlight sun-kissed gams to cork platforms-- a staple of '70's shoes, a walk in the heiress's shoes can be a trip through the fashion files.
Retro romantics looking at add '40's flair to their wardrobe can slip into Vogue, a square-toed silhouette constructed with satin fabric, accented with an imitation gemstone and featuring a 4 1/2" stiletto heel that hearkens back to the era of the pin-up girl. Eden, an embroidered wedge sandal, adds a dash of '60's flower power to any frock, while the aptly-named Fierce-- a metallic platform, and the equally fetching Fever, featuring a cork base, recalls the days of disco.
Stilettos are in style no matter the season. A study in streamlined seduction, Crush-- a patent leather stunner featuring 3 1/4" heels-- can take the wearer from a day at the office to an evening date. However, there's nothing subtle about Epic's seductive qualities, which includes a back zipper, thick ankle straps and a 3" tapered heel.
Each created with a heart-shaped comfort pad and soles that showcase the star's trademark tint, the Paris Hilton footwear collection is sold at several high end stores including Macy's, Kitson's and online at Amazon.com.
