EBay will open its first pop-up shop on November 2 at 3 West 57th Street. Items to be sold include L.A.M.B. shoes, Michael Kors, Anthropologie dresses, and cosmetics from M.A.C. Don’t know about you, but I’m excited.

Ruffian’s collection for Anthropologie is already being spotted in stores, a full month before it was supposed to launch!!! The style blogger of Effortless Anthropologie has already picked up a few pieces. You can check out looks after the jump.

It’s officially now September, which means the days will begin to get shorter as well as colder. Scarves are definitely an item you will need to wear within the upcoming months, but let’s not pile the wool around our necks just yet.

Here are scarves that are appropriate for each of the remaining months of this year, in both style and material.

September: $42.00, www.piperlime.com, $10.00, www.topshop.com
October: $19.50, www.ardenb.com, $48.00, www.madisonlosangeles.com
November: $42.00, www.anthropologie.com, $28.00, www.urbanoutfitters.com
December: $35.00, www.fredflare.com, $195.00, www.shopbop.com

One would think that after over 50 lawsuits during the last 3.5 years would deter Forever 21 from pushing the limits of copyright laws. With good lawyers on their side, co-founders  Do Won Chang and Jin Sook Chang, who also act as the corporation’s chief executive and head buyer, have been able to push almost all suits under the rug,  going about their merry, cheap-o knockoff business. 

With Trovata trouble currently looming, it seems as if the Changs already have enough strings to pull in order to escape the CDFA. But a recent deposition, one in which Anthropologie claims that Forever 21 infringed on 9 of it’s copyrighted items, isn’t going to be so easy to get out of. A Southern District of New York Judge has proof that Jin Sook Chang is linked to the buying of at least 8 of these infringed items. 

Although photos, videos and transcriptions of the lawsuit have yet to be released, it should be very interesting to see just how similar these items are. But as much as I detest the bargain version’s spot-on copies, I’m rather impressed at how many slaps on the wrist the Changs were able to walk away with. But if you ask me, by letting copyright cases slide so easily, the CDFA is just begging for designers to break the rules. 

Thanks WWD! 

I for one, am glad to see the jumpsuit making yet another comeback.

They are easy to wear and most are very comfortable. I personally favor the ones that are loose, as they are very flattering to the figure. I love the “long and lean” look, as most accentuate the legs making them appear long whether you have long legs or not. The more “tailored” looks from Ralph Lauren and Yves St. Laurent are perfect to go from day to night with a change of shoes and accessories. In my book they are a definite “fashion do”. Here are just a few of my favorites.

Here are just a few of my favorites. From top to bottom the designers are as follows: PHILLIP LIM, PROENZA SCHOULER, YVES ST. LAURENT, RALPH LAUREN, DEREK LAM, BEBE and ANTHROPOLOGIE.

LINKAGE: Jumpsuits are everywhere!

Urban Outfitters and Anthropologie and Free People have grown a whopping 79% in sales second quarter.

According to the Wall Street Journal, they’ve “been attracting shoppers with an eclectic mix of full-price clothing and home goods in stores where employees create their own displays.” And instead of flooding the market, they plan to cap the number of stores at 250. “Big is the enemy of cool,” says the company’s founder.

Who still shops at Urban Outfitters? I get that there sales are pretty good, but otherwise that store is nauseating. If anyone doesn’t agree, let me know.

Thanks BlackBook
