Meet Emma! She and her parents Geoff and Katheryne came down to NYC all the way from Toronto, and made a special trip out to Brooklyn just to visit Store Cute! Emma picked up the Sweet Sunday dress and the rose-print Sally dress, and it could be that I’m just biased (those are two of my fave dresses) but she looked super adorable in them!
It was great meeting you guys, and I hope that you had fun walking across the Brooklyn Bridge! Enjoy the rest of your trip!! We love meeting everyone who comes in to the store so come on by and introduce yourself…you might even find your fave new spring outfit!
Talk about daring! Melanie Brown shows some leg, some shoulder, a little cleavage and a lot of scalp! The former Spice Girl walked the red carpet at the Matt Goss show in Vegas with a brand new, edgy style. Leona Lewis and Mel were holding hands and getting their pics taken, both looking smashing! Robin Antin and Natasha Bedingfield joined them for the papz fest. Leona, Mel and Natasha even made a stage appearance for the Caesar’s Palace show! What an event… Is it bad that I don’t know who Matt Goss is? Can you guys fill me in? I feel totally outta the loop!
I love it when I’m just idly watching something and, all of a sudden, I spot a Fred Flare product! Sometimes it’s a no-brainer (you’ll never guess which movie I saw the Twilight jacket in…oh wait, maybe you will), but other times they sneak in and surprise me, like when Tina on Glee was totally wearing a Flight of Fancy necklace (sorry peeps, that one’s all sold out). Now, we all know the ice cream lamp.
I first noticed it in the background, but before I knew it the ice cream lamp was the hero of the day! So now I know that not only is that a hilarious episode of Wizards, but also: if a frozen yogurt machine ever goes haywire, reach for the ice cream lamp! Have you ever seen any FF prodz pop up in unexpected places?
Happy B-Day to one of my fave celebuspawns! Susan Sarandon’s adorable daughter Eva Amurri’s 25th birthday was this weekend and boy-oh-boy, did she get DOWN! She looks like such a total babe! Which, I guess, was bound to happen considering her mom’s a hottie, right? The Sarandon clan has been ordering from us for a while and WE LOVE THEM ALL! I totally wish we coulda partied with them at 1 Oak! And I must say, the strapless dress with a peek-a-boo camisole is totally amazing! HAPPY BDAY EVA!
Personally I always adored what my grandma wore. Blogger Ari Seth Cohen seems to think the same thing about seniors’ style. Cohen, in a Sartorialist style of blogging, takes pictures of elderly people with an impeccable sense of classic style. The biggest challenge Cohen faces when taking pictures of senior citizens? “Trying to explain what a blog is.” Check out more senior citizens’ fashion on his blog Advanced Style.
This week in Santa Monica, California all the celebs were out to help the Make a Wish Foundation. By far the cutest couple of them all to make an appreance was Anna Paquin and Stephen Moyer. This on screen and off screen couple have been all over town showing nothing but love. We can’t wait for Season 3 of True Blood, which starts 6/13! P.S.- Doesn’t Anna look the cutest in her red risky biz sunglasses!?!
You know we love dresses here at the FF, right? I think maybe we have more styles right now than ever have before and we still want more, more, more! Take a spin through our dress dept and see if there’s something for you. Speaking of spinning, I love this photo that Chaunté took of Monica. We did this shoot across the way at Danit’s apartment. I think it turned out so great!
We here at Fred Flare totally love our home ‘hood of Greenpoint, Brooklyn, and so we were super stoked when we got in the I Lego N.Y. book and saw Greenpoint represented!
The book is totally amazing…it has all of the coolest parts of New York (which is obviously why Greenpoint was included) and is a great read for people of all ages and locations!
Happy March 14th, y’all! It’s the most glorious day of the year (in my humble opinion) for a few reasons! For starters, this year is Daylight Savings so not only did the day start an hour earlier, but 2-for-1 sunglasses as well? SCORE! Sweet deals and earlier than usual mornings aside, today is also the birthday of one of my personal heroes (and imaginary BFFs)…Albert Einstein!
OK, so he hasn’t been alive for a good 55 years, but that doesn’t mean we can’t still celebrate! And, uh, I’m not saying that I’ve totally baked him birthday cakes before, but…if you ever need to draw Albert Einstein in frosting, I have some experience in that arena.
That’s right, the fun still doesn’t end! As if savings (on daylight AND sunglasses!) and famous birthdays weren’t enough, today, March 14th, also known as 3-14, is Pi Day! Oh, pi, that crazy irrational number that comes in so handy when dealing with circles and the like.
There are many ways of celebrating Pi Day, including one of my favorite pastimes (on any day of the year), eating pie! Another (admittedly more dweeby) way to commemorate the occasion is to see how many digits of pi you can memorize… I think my personal record was about 150, but after about 5 minutes I had forgotten most of them. Though memorizing the digits is just a fun thing to do in general.
What does today mean for you? Are you stoked about the extra hour of sunlight (or less-so about waking up an hour earlier)? Gonna stock up on sunnies for the coming spring & summer? How about celebrating 131 years of Albie E.? Plans for pie-consumption? Something else entirely? Or is today just another Sunday? Let me know in the comments, or come by Store Cute and tell me in person! And if you hear me muttering to myself, don’t worry, I’m not crazy, just memorizing…
Okay, not to make ya mad or anything but I’m totally blobbing on the beach in Costa Rica as you read this… Pre-scheduling this particular post so I don’t have to worry about it while I’m away:) Just know that I’ll be thinking of you and in my own way I am sharing some sun and fun with this NEVER-BEFORE special DAYLIGHT SAVINGS PROMOTION! Enter discount code “daylight” at checkout with a purchase of any two or more pairs of sunglasses and you’ll get them for 50% OFF! This is an incredible deal so stock up. Hurry cuz it’s TODAY ONLY!!! (Be sure to read the fine print below if you’re new.) Love u guys. More soon.
Before there was Buffy and Twilight, there was a show called She-wolf of London and my bestie Kate Hodge played a character named Randi Wallace who, every once in a “blue moon” turned into a terrifying werewolf. I was so excited to FINALLY see that the complete series is out on DVD! I think everyone should check it out cuz there are some very classic, great moments in the show, plus the wolf costume was pretty awesome! Here is one of my fav moments from the show!
Here’s Kate behind all that fur and when she’s not about to “become so violently ill.”
Ok, so it’s rainin’ outside, but I actually like rain. It’s the best time to put on that raincoat that you’ve been waiting to try out, grab your fav umbrella (you know you have one), call a few friends, and paint the town red or any color you want. It’s your day! When I was younger (which really was not that long ago and honestly I am still a big kid), I loved to check out stores in NYC and chat up the people who worked there. Let me tell you, I am still friends with a lot of those peeps. That’s why I love chatting with people who come to STORE CUTE. I can’t get enough of em! Today, I met these lovely ladies from England, Jenny & Jessie. Thanks for visiting!!
So YES, it is raining, but if it’s your day off, come out and play. The store is like candyland! Check out more pics for yourself. If you decide to just stay in bed and catch up on some sleep, that’s ok too (reminder daylight savings tomorrow). I’ll just bug you later!
