BabeWatch

Swim Suit Season is here

Summer may technically start in 18 days according to the calendar, but with AZ temperatures already reaching 111 degrees, I think it’s safe to say it has already started.  So what do you do when summer comes early? You buy and wear swimsuits of course! And you wear them all day, everyday, except the days you have that pesky day job and you’re forced to wear actual clothes. Unless you are a lifeguard for your day job, then you are able to wear swimsuits all day.

I know who you're thinking of when we say lifeguards and wearing swimsuits all day….and that is none other than that sexy David Hassel Hoff.

What a babe! 

If you are not thinking of David Hasself hoff than I guess that is ok too. Either way we have the perfect swimsuits for those looking for something not so David Hassel-Hoffish this summer season.

Taylor is clearly no David Hasself Hoff but we're pretty sure you'll agree she is much better in the wearing a swimsuit department (unless of course you enjoy bronzed chests with hair).
 She is here to show us our number one selling swimsuits that we cannot get enough of as well as how to style them with accessories and this seasons newest cover up....the kimono!

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!

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!

By incorporating these bold colors into lacy fabrics with intricate feminine detailing you’ve got a bright yet elegant and tasteful dress to wear. While everyone will be looking at the bride, we can’t guarantee that single groomsmen won’t be looking at you. ;)

Tips on what to wear and not to wear to a wedding (you can thank us later)!

1. Always cover your shoulders if you are going to be in a church.

2. Don't wear red to a wedding because it means you slept with the groom! Yikes

3. Don't wear white! Just don't do it! Pick a different color.

4. Don't wear black to a daytime wedding.

5. Don't wear anything torn, stained or too small for you.

Have fun this summer wedding season!

Currently Coveting: Steve Madden Concord Flats

These Steve Madden Concord flats is the perfect flat to take with you from day to night and not to mention how happy your feet will feel by the end of the evening. These Steve Madden flats make for such a great statement piece I usually opt to pair them with a monochromatic ensemble and bold accessories. They also make for a great transitional piece into fall. Whether you’re walking to class or grabbing happy hour with your girlfriends these are the quintessential statement shoe this season. We just got a huge shipment of flats in at Grand Central Clothing and all Divaz Boutique locations! Here's some inspiration of celebrities wearing their favorite flat for fall. 

Steve Madden Dejavu

This summer i've practically lived in Steve Madden platforms. They're a great investment piece and I recommend having it as a staple in your wardrobe. It's the ideal piece to transition from day to night as well as, a great transitional piece from summer to fall. Platforms are such a classic design and i'm really loving how these celebrities styled their platform pumps. You can find the Steve Madden Dejavu platform in black and blush at Grand Central Clothing or any of our Divaz Boutique locations. Did you know we're on Pinterest? Come pin with us! 

Summer Spotlight: Steve Madden

Steve Madden has consistently been my go-to shoe all year long, they always have the best selection at an affordable price, and this season is no exception. Currently I'm loving the Steve Madden 'Sutttle' sandal with its gold hardware and multi colored weaved backing it's the perfect summer sandal to be dressed up or dressed down. You can find the Steve Madden 'Sutttle' sandal in cognac, white, and dusty gold at Grand Central Clothing and Divaz Boutique locations. In the meantime, i'm currently getting inspired by this summer look.

Spring Ruffles

Pastels, feminine details and light textures are huge for this upcoming season; this one shoulder dress encompasses it all. To my surprise the unusually warm winter weather has granted me to bring out this beautiful dress earlier than I had anticipated and after wearing it once it is already a staple for spring.  Everything about this ensemble from the one shoulder bow detailing, to the light feminine ruffles is the perfect combination for this upcoming season and great for those formal events this semester. The best part is this gorgeous piece is under a $100! We carry a large selection of dresses for all occasions so stop on in today to find yours.
