August Fashion News
A cute pair of shoes in a rainbow of colors; a clothing company goes fur-free; win back-to-school cash; and more.
Fun Footwear
Sometimes a shoe is just so right that you want to take a second to fully appreciate it. Such is the case with the cute Cali Gear Mary Jane–inspired style by Skechers (shown), which somehow manages to be all things to all people. Available in a variety of colors, it's casual, flirty, dressy, sneaker-y and comfy (yes!) all in one. Oh, yeah, and at $30 a pair, you can add "affordable" to that list. Check out www.skechers.com to see all the latest looks from Ashlee Simpson's favorite line.
Win Cash for Back-to-School
Supply shop Staples wants to send you back to school in style this year, so it's having a Rock Your Locker sweepstakes online. Enter and you'll have a chance to win prizes like a $10,000 trip to the Staples Center in Los Angeles with nine friends to see a concert of your choice and a one-year movie pass. Of course, you'll also get school supplies galore. There's also a weekly Charity Prize, where, if you win, money will be given to the charitable organization of your choice. Check out all the details and the official rules at www.RockYourLocker.com.
Guess Who's Going Fur-Free?
Fashion label Guess announced that it will stop buying fur for its denim and sportswear lines, and by next April, fully phase out fur on clothing already in production. Instead, if an item calls for fur, fake fur will be used instead.
Livestrong's Next Steps
Lance Armstrong has a lot to be proud of: He's battled cancer, won the famed Tour de France seven times, and appeared in Dodgeball (okay, not quite Tour de France–level here, but still, that was a good scene). He is also a tireless fundraiser for his personal charity, the Lance Armstrong Foundation, which helps cancer survivors and raises awareness of the disease. His yellow Livestrong wristband has raised millions for the foundation. Now Nike and Lance are teaming up to launch a full line of Livestrong gear, like clothing, accessories, and shoes, and all profits will again go to Lance's charity. The collection will be available starting early October.
Fez Does Fashion
Wilmer Valderrama announced a few years ago that he was planning to launch a line of menswear. Well, it's finally in stores. The line, called Calavena, is trendy and stylish, much like the designer himself. He told People.com, "I wanted a clean look and sophisticated cuts that men would feel comfortable in." Pick up the trendy pieces for your guy over at www.shopkitson.com. And while there's no women's line yet, Valderrama promises one soon. "I have 19- and 26-year-old sisters who are mad at me because they can't get free clothes," Valderrama, 27, told USAToday. "The girls' line, I have to definitely do."
