Breast Cancer Ribbon Bracelet by Lisa for Loft - $24.50

Designer Lisa Salzer of Lulu Frost has designed a limited-edition bracelet available at LOFT stores during October. Five dollars from the sale of each bracelet benefits the Breast Cancer Research Foundation. This bracelet is designed with the vintage charm Salzer is known for, with multiple brass chains, one of which is wrapped with a silk fuchsia ribbon that ends in a bow. It is part of a capsule collection of jewelry designed by Salzer exclusively for LOFT – both in LOFT stores nationwide and online at  www.LOFTonline.com.

Whether you wear it alone or layered with other jewelry for added drama, the bracelet offers an alternative to the conventional “think pink” ribbon. At $24.50, the bracelet is in keeping with LOFT’s spirit of to-the-minute style at affordable prices.

The Breast Cancer Research Foundation is a charity dedicated to providing funding for research at medical centers worldwide and increasing public awareness of good breast health. Ann Taylor Stores Corporation has supported this Foundation since 2006 and has already raised more than $2.25 million for the charity.

Lead Stylist, Teddy Charles for Frédéric Fekkai the look of  Rag & Bone
Teddy Charles, lead stylist for Frédéric Fekkai, created a rough and tousled look full of texture and volume for the Rag & Bone Spring 2010 show.  After a few spritzes of Fekkai Tousled Wave Spray he rolled hair to make it piecey.  He then wrapped and teased the hair into messy tendrils with Fekkai Full Blown Volume Lifting Hairspray.  He completed the look with the Fekkai Au Natural Dry Shampoo to create a matte finish.

Products Used:
Fekkai Coiff Océanique Tousled Wave Spray – Create a tousled, wavy look with this lightweight styling mist. Touchable polymers help to form and rejuvenate waves with flexible  control.  $23,  5oz.

Fekkai Full Blown Volume Lifting Hairspray – This lightweight formula holds volume to lift the roots and delivers powerful fullness that is never stiff or sticky. $20,  5oz.

Fekkai Au Naturel Powder Clean Dry Shampoo – This naturally formulated product free of sulfates, parabens, dyes and synthetic fragrances, gently cleanses hair with a natural botanical blend, infuses hair with conditioning ingredients, removes excess oil and builds volume. Hair is left refreshed and revived without the use of water.   $23,  2.9oz.

The company will debut handbags at its spring presentation, which takes place Sept. 16 at The Chelsea Art Museum in New York. The collection of 28 clutches and evening cases are as elaborate as the brand’s dresses, with such details as beading, pleating and corsetry.

Key styles include a silver clutch with a profusion of beading and embroidery in an elongated oval shape and clutches with tassels. There are also exotic skins such as alligator, crocodile and lizard done in rich colors like aubergine and ochre. The bags will retail from $995 to $5,000 for an exotic skin.

“Some people don’t always have an occasion for a gown,” said Chapman. “You could wear these with jeans and a T-shirt.”

The company has no plans to launch ancillary categories as of yet, but “We always keep our minds open,” Chapman said coyly. In the past, Marchesa has tapped Christian Louboutin to partner on shoes for presentations. See entire article at WWD
