Great Minds Think Alike

Brand Bio: 7 for all mankind

Everyone has heard the saying, “great minds think alike”. Usually you make reference to this while joking around with someone who was thinking the same thing, or when being funny and/or witty.

However, what I am about to share with you is no joke!

You might be asking yourself, "who are these 3 distinguished gentlemen? And why are they in a picture collage together? And why can't I stop staring at them......"

The answer may surprise you! You have just been introduced to “3 great minds that think alike.” These are the men who changed denim forever. These gentlemen are the creators/founders of 7 for all mankind. From left to right, Michael Glasser, Peter Koral and Jerome Dahan. We salute them and give thanks as they sure created a damn good pair of jeans!

P.S. If you can't stop staring at them you might just be a little bit creepy.

Fun Fact: 7 for all mankind is a fairly young company. It was established in 2000 in Los Angeles, CA. When they first started they partnered with Marc Jacobs for financial backing, and now 7 for all mankind is sold in over 80 countries including Canada, Europe and Japan!

At Grand Central Clothing and Divaz Boutique we are huge fans of 7 for all mankind denim. With the temperatures finally dropping, now is the perfect time to come in and purchase a pair! We have multiple pairs of this amazing fitting denim, and here are just a few:

The "Slim Illusion" skinny second skin legging jean in Black

The "Slim Illusion" mid rise second skin legging jean- $178

The "Slim Illusion" is a new design by 7 for all mankind. It is designed to make you feel one size smaller. The tighter fitting construction and stretch help create a sexy slim silhouette. 

 The Skinny- $159

The traditional skinny. These have a lot of stretch and are your perfect every day jean.

The Kimmie Bootcut w/ contoured waist- $169

For the girl who wants a pair of bootcut denim these are a no brainer. They have a contoured waist and are designed to make your butt look amazing too!

The fashion zipped skinny w/pleather- $235

These are the perfect jean for fashionistas who are tired with the same old jeans. They are denim on the front but pleather in the back. These are a proven head turner!

Stop on in to one of out 4 locations today and try on a pair! If you think they look great on you, then we think they look great on you, because great minds think alike! ;)

The best part of waking up.....

Scarf Season

Fall is officially here! If anyone has social media they have been bombarded with this fact for a couple of weeks now. With all of our friend’s statuses about having their first pumpkin spice latte of the season, baking pumpkin muffins,  baking pumpkin bread, drinking pumpkin beer and wearing pumpkin underwear, we are very aware that it is, in fact, fall! We now wait for our trees to turn colors and leaves to fall to the ground…oh wait, except Arizona, we don’t have trees or seasons for that matter ;)

Now that it's fall and our temperatures are starting to drop, we start bringing out our fall wear. Boots we haven’t seen in a year, our favorite comfy sweater, that favorite pair of leggings... all start to make their way back into our closets. We start thinking of all the comfy cool weather outfits we can wear around the house. We envision it like we’re in a Foldger’s coffee commercial.

Scenario: It’ s a cool and crisp Saturday morning. You are wearing a cute yet comfy outfit. You walk into your bright and sunny living room and bounce onto your white couch. Looking out your perfectly clear window, you slowly sip a cup of coffee and then close your eyes and smile as the coffee steam streams upwards into your face (I always wonder what they think about during that part). You snuggle your neck into your scarf…

Did we say scarf? Yes we did! What better way to accessorize a fall outfit than with a scarf?! Scarves serve as a warm and cute accessory making them functional and fashionable. They can make an older outfit look brand new and dressier outfits look more chic. All of these are reasons that scarves are fall’s must have accessory.

This season, get creative with your scarves and tie them in different ways. The following are a few ways to do so.

The "Single Loop"

 The "Double Loop"

The "Strap Hang" (front)

 The "Strap Hang" (back)

 The "Kimono" (front)

 The "Kimono" (back)

The "Double Knot"

The "Single Knot"

The "Shoulder Duster"

The "Girly Windsor"

Stop into any Divaz Boutique/Grand Central Clothing and pick up your scarf today! 

Scarves $17-$39

The best part of waking up this fall season are scarves, not Foldgers in your cup 

(sorry Foldgers but we're not sorry!)

Step into Fall with Steve Madden

Brand Biography: Steve Madden 

Who is this man you ask? And why is he around several amazing pairs of shoes? If you guessed Steve Madden himself then pat yourself on the back! You are a true fashionista!

Steve Madden is easily America’s most successful shoe designer. Considered the fashion footwear mogul of the 21^st century, Madden has been responsible for the designing and marketing of the company’s trendsetting shows for the past two decades. His vision to give young, fashion forward men and women a unique way to express their individuality through style resulted in millions of customers worldwide and propelled his designs to the forefront of the fashion industry.

Fun Fact: In 1990, with a mere $1100 in his bank account, Madden started crafting shoe designs from his Queens based factory and the Steve Madden brand was born. With sheer guts, years of experience in the footwear industry and unique creative designs, Steve Madden formed his own successful enterprise.

Madden’s footwear vision is continuously evolving. Steve once said, “What inspires me is what I see people wearing on the streets of the world from New York to London and beyond. Today, fashion is dictated by individual style. To me, the fashion of the future is anything that a young guy or girl feels good wearing as long as it’s put together in the right way. Today, the Steve Madden brand represents a lifestyle. It is about embracing fashion while maintaining that funky independence that first defined the brand 20 years ago. Steve Madden is always looking toward the future!

                          

Here at Grand Central and Divaz Boutique, we are huge fans of Steve Madden! The following boots are just a few boots you will find while shopping with us!  Stop in at any of our 4 locations to try a pair of these new styles on. Let us help you step into Fall!    

The "Lynet" $189

     Personally, my favorite boot so far this season. I love the intricate detailing of the back and the gold hardware all over. These is sure to be a best seller!

The "Albany" $189

Another great boot. All genuine leather makes this boot a must have this season. Steve paid close attention to detail on this one as the back heel even has gold detailing. The tiny side buckle puts a nice spin on previous years styles.

The "Marco" $149

Steve has done it again with this above the ankle boot. It's stud detailing and side buckles will be sure to turn some heads. Pair with skinny denim or tights and you've got a look that will literally rock some socks off.

 The "Troopa" $99

This nicely price pointed boot makes it a steal this fall season. This boot looks great with shorts, skirts and skinny denim. You don't have to be in the military to wear either, but if you do, we salute you!

The "Creation" $99

At $99 this over the knee boot was created just for you! Its simple yet sleek design really does let these boots walk all over you. Probably the most versatile boot this fall, Creation comes in brown or black.  They are sure to last you all season and won't cost you a fortune.

Hurry in! These boots won't last long!

Grand Central Clothing/Divaz Boutique Spread the Love

S p r e a d i n g  t h e   L o v e !

Here at Grand Central Clothing and Divaz Boutique we aren’t just pretty faces with an excellent selection of clothing and great customer service.  Believe it or not, we have a soft spot as well! 

During our July retreat in Tucson, AZ we were presented with the idea of “Spread the Love”.  We not only thought this idea was marvelous, but was something to really take to the streets (literally.) It’s our way to give back to the community and say “thank you”. It’s also our hope to make someone’s day brighter and better!

Here we are at the retreat, spreading the love for the first time in Tucson, AZ.

What is “Spread the love”, you ask

“Spread the love” is quite simple. It is when an employee of one of our four stores goes out into the community with a fabulous item from the store and we give it to a random, lucky person strolling the surrounding area. You might say you were at the right place at the right time. ;)

Our reasoning: Because we can!

Our hope is that that one small random act of kindness can change someone’s day. That being said, we also hope it will have a domino effect on the community and everyone will be doing nice things for each other! How wonderful would that be?

So look for us every Tuesday! We will be wearing our pink shirts and holding our Spread the Love sign! You could be the next lucky one!

Week 1- On Mill Avenue in Tempe, AZ

Week 2- At Tempe Marketplace in Tempe, AZ

 Week 3- On University Blvd. in Tucson, AZ

Week 4- At the Casa Paloma Shopping Center in Chandler, AZ 

If you are picked, don’t forget to Spread the love to someone else!!! See you soon!!

Excuse me, your refrigerator is running.....

What would you do if your refrigerator really ran?

Sometimes appliances can be unruly, and might even let you down. I’m sure most of you have heard the classic joke of, “Is your refrigerator running? Then you better go and catch it?!”

Have you ever wondered what you would do if your refrigerator was really running? What steps would you take to catch it? Or would you just let it run away?

Kendra was faced with this problem a couple days ago. Let’s take a look to see the steps she took when faced with this unexpected scenario.

Scenario: Kendra was working at Grand Central Clothing Chandler. She was wearing a very chic black, white and blue dress that we had just received. It’s a dress that can easily transition into fall. She was pairing it with a necklace and super cute wedges when the unexpected happened:

 "Oh no!" she gasped, "how did the refrigerator get out of the break room?! I never thought I’d say this but our refrigerator is running!"

Now Kendra is not one to sit around when faced with a debacle! She took matters into her own hands and decided to take action!

 Step 1: Show the refrigerator that you mean business by making a scary face. “Not on my watch refrigerator!”

 Step 2: Run towards it with flared arms….running in wedges=impressive! “I am going to get you!”

Step 3: Outreach of the arms! Ahhhhh! So close!

 Step 4: Catch refrigerator with cord! "Ah ha! Haha! I caught you refrigerator!"

 Step 5: Celebrate your heroicness. Proof that when you’re refrigerator is running, you really can go and catch it! And can look glamorous doing it!

Dress: $36

Necklace: $22

Wedges:$79

Get the look at Grand Central Clothing or Divaz Boutique! You can wear it now and easily transition it into fall when you pair it with tights, booties, and a blazer!
