I Can't Believe It's Not Cashmere!

One of our "big news" items this winter has been the introduction of the "Cashtastic line." These items look and feel like cashmere but with a price tag that doesn't leave you crying and penniless. No longer is luxury unaffordable. These items are luxe and lovely and won't pill, so they will look new throughout many wears. Vlor and Beth were nice enough to model for me. Beth refuses to wear the Brimmed Hat ($12.99) fearing her hair would get messed up-but Vlor was more of a trooper. They both wore the Ruffle Scarf (specially priced at $14.99) and the Gathered Glove ($9.99). All three items come in ivory, teal and fuchsia. These make great gifts, you can get all three items for less than $40.00- that's way less than one cashmere item would cost at your local department store. Find these pieces along with cashtastic cardigan sets, a men's sweater, and a women's sweater in C24-26. Look forward to more cashtastic apparel coming in C3 2010.

Getting a Bang for Your Buck- Sneak Peek!

In today's economy we all have to be more watchful of what we spend and what we spend it on. My closet is already too full so whatever I buy now must be something I'll wear a lot and can work with what I already own. In my opinion, the only thing better than something that can transform your outfit is something that can transform on its own. Beth manages our product samples so she always snags some goodies for herself during the process :). This cardigan, new in C7 2010 can be worn in many different ways (4 are shown in the pictures). Simply by tying the long ends the result varies from casual to sexy. Wear this cardigan long and open, with jeans and our Loop Belt (also available in C7), cinching it at the waist. For more of a night look, wear a black dress (like the SlimWear Shirred Waist Dress from C18) and tie the cardigan ballerina style-crisscrossing it in the front and tying it in the back. This way you can cover your arms but still let the stretchy cardigan hug your curves. Look out for this great item, I promise you've never had so much fun with a cardigan before!

From Heeled to Healed

There is a comfort queen in all of us. Here at Avon looking professional and put together are part of the job, which means high heels. Uh, heels-most heels hurt, they make you look taller and leaner and always feel great when making two laps around the shoe store to see if they are comfortable, but then you wear them for 5 plus hours and all you can think about is your throbbing feet. No pain no gain right? Well my girls at Avon waver between two extremes. Every morning Beth puts on 4" inch heels (her boyfriend is 6'4" so she has that luxury). Similarly Vlor who is the "fancy pants" glamour girl among us slides into a beautiful pair of Christian Louboutin patent pumps.

And then 4 o'clock hits.................off come the heels and on go the Avon Slippers.

Vlor is wearing the C23 Sequin Slippers, Beth is wearing the recolor of the C24 Cable Knit Pom Pom Slipper (coming in pink in C2 2010!).
