Extra Extra New site in town and needs your attention!

Hunter Dixon, the feminine and flirtatious contemporary fashion line, announces the much-anticipated launch of their online store, www.HunterDixon.com on July 15, 2010. The site will be the only outlet where consumers will be able to preview the entire Hunter Dixon collection including items exclusively online.



Co-founded by Southern Belles Hunter Bell and Jennifer Dixon in 2009, the New York-based company began with hard work and determination and has established itself as a rising talent in the fashion industry. Each collection is filled with bold colors, unique detailing and abstract prints. Consisting of sleek pants, structured dresses, tailored jackets and classic blouses, Hunter Dixon is a brand where sensible simplicity meets metropolitan style.



Continuing to grow its position in the contemporary marketplace, Hunter Dixon plans to unveil e-commerce just in time for fall 2010. “We are in nearly 100 boutiques nationwide and select Saks Fifth Avenue locations, but there are certain essential blouses and pieces that we want everyone to be able to purchase, regardless of the selection a store in their city may carry. We also have seen such a surge in web shopping, we wanted to get on board and drive traffic to our website,” explained Dixon. “Creatively, we re-launched our website at the end of 2009. Our idea for a new site was to draw our customers eye straight to the clothes by designing each page with a very clean look. The same fresh element of design plays a role in the launch of e-commerce. We feel that fans of Hunter Dixon have been able to connect to our brand better with the new website and hope e-commerce will have the same achievement", added Bell.



Fans of the Hunter Dixon brand have been anxiously awaiting the launch of e-commerce since their debut collection. However, it wasn’t until the website began to generate a lot of traffic via social media such as Facebook, Twitter and recent press placements that the brand was able to establish an e-commerce presence.



Recognizing how essential and versatile blouses can be to a women’s wardrobe, Hunter Dixon will be debuting their “Blouse Program” on the website. This collection will consist of the line’s signature silk blouses and will initially be offered in eight classic styles and color ways. The program will continue to evolve each season with the addition of exclusive colors and prints for their online store.



The Hunter Dixon site will feature innovative and user-friendly features creating a shopping experience true to the brand. Shoppers

will be able to keep a customer account page that will provide the ability to manage their personal information, review past orders,

and reorder the same items with just a few clicks. Shoppers can also take advantage of the “wish list” function and provide Hunter Dixon with requests for new blouse colors. If a specific color is requested up to seven times the new color will be added to the current assortment. In addition, www.HunterDixon.com will offer web exclusive prints, styles and colors, a user friendly sizing chart, celebrity favorites, and seasonal colors. As a growing company, the site will make it easier for loyal customers to shop for their favorite brand.

Thred UP! Fabulous...

The Problem

Did you know that kids grow out of a set of new clothes every 6 months? That by age 17, kids have outgrown over 1,300 items and parents have spent nearly $20,000 on their clothing? Kids are expensive and they grow fast! Yet one of the most valuable things any kid has – clothing – typically gets given away when it’s outgrown because no great option exists to swap out the old for the new.



We also know that coordinating clothing swaps is hard – especially among your closest friends who live all over the place. Getting parents together and getting all the sizes right is always a challenge. Hand-me-downs always leave someone empty handed!



What is thredUP kids?

thredUP is where America’s busiest parents exchange boxes of clothes that no longer fit their kids for stylish ones that will. We coordinate swaps among a group of your closest friends or connect you with thousands of families nationwide. There’s no bidding, no auction lots, no rifling through consignment racks, and absolutely no trips to the post office. All swaps are done online, with scheduled home pick-up and delivery. thredUP is the next generation of swapping - a kids clothing revolution!



So what can I do on thredUP? Pick. Pay. Prepare and Send.

· Pick a box of gently used clothes you’d love to receive for your child.

· Pay for shipping

· Prepare and list a box of clothes your child has outgrown

· When someone picks your box, send it free of charge (we even have the Postal Service pick-up the box at your house).



We manage the quality control and review process and take care of all the details to make sure you get a quality exchange.



thredUP is green

Americans discard two quadrillion pounds (that’s a two with fifteen zeros!) of used clothes and textiles into landfills each year. thredUP lets you GO GREEN by swapping with like-minded moms and dads. By sharing what we already have, parents can make a huge step towards sustainability. Create a “thredbank” – the place for kids to save outgrown clothes to exchange when the time is right. thredUP allows you to teach your kids the importance of green living and lighten your family's overall eco-footprint.

New Leaf Touchstone Bracelet Review!

As a Fabulous Finds Reviewer I was able to review this pretty bracelet. I'm not into a lot of jewelry - the real stuff. But I like to wear the fun stuff!

The bracelet was sent to me for review by Cindy Loughran at New Leaf Touchstone. Cindy is a certified Professional Coach and Change agent. She has worked with teams and individuals for over 20 years, helping them make changes to enable them to be more effective and personally satisfied in all areas of their lives.
I know I could help in this area and years ago I could have used a lot of help.(raising 3 stepsons!!)
Anyway, there are many different colors and styles available and if you're not into bracelets or want something for a guy, she also has Pocket Stones. New Leaf Touchstones wants to help people fulfill their good intentions and to make changes stick. Each bracelet has a little leaf attached, to remind you to "turn over a new leaf".
The bracelets are made by at risk adolescence girls who are overcoming a variety of obstacles. Working with New Leaf Touchstones allows them to earn money and learn social and business skills. When you visit their website http://www.newleaftouchstone.com/ you can also find information on goals and change, positive thinking and so much more, definitely worth the look.
The bracelets are truly beautiful and every time I look at mine I think of the areas in my life that need improving.
The girls at my work were excited to see this bracelet, I received several compliments. I'm sure they will be checking out New Leaf Touchstones to order their own.Review By: Anne


Beautiful bracelet. beautiful story about how they are made. Love the packaging. Neat that they have so many different colors. Felt happy when I was wearing it. Review By: Linda

New Leaf Touch Stone


When I first received this bracelet I thought it was beautiful with interchanged pink and purple beads and a dainty leaf charm hanging from the center.
Little did I know there was so much more to it than just a bracelet! After logging on to the New Leaf website and reading not only what the bracelets are
about but who makes them, they became even more charming. I used my bracelet as a "reminder tool" to be a little bit nicer to those I come in contact with
throughout the day. Even if they aren't my favorite person, taking a moment to smile and say hello. The bracelet helped to act as a subtle reminder,
discrete in the sense that no one new its deeper purpose and yet the perfect reminder for myself! I'm sure I will continue to use it, most likely
changing its purpose along the way! Review By: Cami


New Leaf Touchstone Bracelet

WOW! Let me tell you how much I love this bracelet. I love the design (mine was one of forty different designs). I love the pretty organza bag that it came in. I love the colors. I love the texture. I love that each bead/charm has a certain meaning. I love that is hand-made by at-risk adolescent girls. I love that it is a beautiful and practical way to help you change a certain behavior that troubles you. I would love it only a bit more if it was larger as I have a big wrist.

The instructions ask you to "charge" your bracelet to give it its power. You will need to sit quietly and visualize for a few minutes. My focus during this exercise was visualizing healthy food choices that I intend to make. I put the bracelet on and then went on with my day. With the bracelet on my wrist I had a visual reminder as I reached for the cookie or the bag of potato chips so rather than me eating them mindlessly, I actually thought about it first and then I chose fruit or yogurt instead. The bracelet actually does remind me to make healthier choices and I am delighted as a result! Did I tell you how much I love this bracelet?
Review By: Wendy


New Leaf Touchstone Bracelet

I like the idea of this bracelet. I’m always a fan of finding a way to be constantly reminded of our goals and thinking positive. Also, the fact that each bracelet is made by an at-risk girl gives the person even more motivation to overcome the things they may be working towards improving. As a 25 year old though, it isn’t the type of bracelet I would find myself wearing. What can I say; the beads would need to be a little larger and flashier. I could see this bracelet being more popular with an older generation.Review By: Melinda

SheWants.com is a Girl’s Best Friend
Online gift registry SheWants.com finally gives women a place to ask for what they want

Diamonds are no longer a girl’s best friend--SheWants.com, a user friendly gift registry and wish list, allows women to ask for what they want without limits. Originators Adriana Padilla Mack and Marie Green wanted to create a space where women could dream big and express what they want in life. The idea stemmed from dinner conversations where frustrated females had, once again, received candles or fruitcake from a well meaning gifter. There seemed to be a lack of communication between the gifter and giftee, especially from the male species. Adriana and Marie decided then and there that they would create a website dedicated to the simple proposition: “If you’re going to give her something, then give her what she wants,” and SheWants.com was born.

The concept finally solves the problem women have had for years: how to communicate to the men, family, and friends in their lives what they want to receive. The femme savvy social portal combines several features: SheWants Wish List, SheWants Not, Calendar, and Blog for a unique experience.

Wishing Well - “SheWants Wish List”: One of the first things a SheWants member will create is a wish list. Women can ask for anything they want--a designer pair of heels, a tropical vacation, or even a donation to their favorite charity. The SheWants Wish List also states where to find the dream gift, eliminating the guesswork from giving. According to co-creator Adriana, the idea of the wish list appealed to her because, “If we put our dreams and wishes somewhere, or if we say it, it’s possible.

Things Better Left Ungifted - “She Wants Not”: Saving the world from knick knacks one member at a time, is the SheWants Not list, which allows women to say what they don’t want. The idea is to limit re-gifting and make people look closer at their best friend, neighbor, or significant other. It creates an eco-conscious environment by eliminating wasteful purchases.

Man’s Best Friend - “The Calendar”: This feature eliminates the headaches of men everywhere. Now befuddled boyfriends and harried husbands can not only find out exactly what women want, they can look up anniversaries, birthdays, etc…in the calendar section of her profile. Not just for the men, women can also pre-select a list of friends, family, and significant others whom they would like to send special “nudges” too.

Bite Size Tips - “Blog”: More than a place that simply lists things a woman wants, the site emerges as a helpful friend in the form of a blog. The founders Adriana Padilla Mack and Marie Green will be blogging on ways to keep gifting green, such as the “Gift Card Exchange Party” where women swap gift cards in a paper free environment. There are also blogs by guest and celebrity bloggers writing about fashion, jewelry, marriage, and all aspects of being a stylish female.

Speak Loudly and Carry a Big Beautiful Bag - SheWants.com has created a personalized experience from top to bottom. Upon establishing a free profile, the member embarks on a fun journey of self-expression and self-discovery, as she (perhaps for the first time) actually spells out what she wants.

Who wants to win $100,000???

OLD NAVY LAUNCHES SUPERMODELQUIN SUPER SEARCH CONTEST
Who Will Become The Next SuperModelquin And Take Home $100,000?

SAN FRANCISCO, FEBRUARY 19, 2010 – To build on the momentum of Old Navy’s recent success, Old Navy kicked off a consumer contest and advertising campaign this week that further immerses customers with the lives of the SuperModelquins - a diverse family of custom-made mannequins with gossip column-worthy personalities.

The Super Search contest allows consumers the chance to be molded as the next SuperModelquin and take home $100,000 through a series of online challenges that will test their plastic spokesmannequin skills. Thousands will enter to prove they have the style and stature worthy of the storefront spotlight. Over six weeks, www.oldnavy.com/super will host three super challenges.

In the first challenge, “Pose with the Plastic Pros” (2/16-2/25), contestants prove their plastic by heading into their local Old Navy and taking a photo of themselves with the SuperModelquins and uploading it to the Super Search site (www.oldnavy.com/super). The second challenge, “Moldelquin Makeover,” (3/4-3/14) uses the power of the SuperMolder technology, allowing contestants to build their plastic match to be rated by voters. The third challenge, “Lights, Camera, Plastic” (3/21-4/1) asks contestants to build their own Old Navy commercial and deliver the hilarious punch line to prove that they have what it takes to be plastic.

The supporting advertising campaign, developed in partnership with Crispin, Porter + Bogusky, is designed to help Old Navy’s target customer – a young mom on a budget shopping for herself and her family, further engage with the brand in the unique Old Navy way. It works by inviting customers to share the screen with Old Navy’s SuperModelquins who act as the contest’s judges, knocking points off for blinking, hair movement and other impossibly plastic qualities. With TV spots to promote each challenge, the SuperModelquins will not only plug the brand’s latest fashions, but will ask another contestant to “hand in their stand,” the campaign’s version of reality show rejection. As part of the campaign, on March 5, using SuperMolder technology, the SuperMolder will appear in New York City’s Times Square and customers will be able to display their customized SuperModelquins on the NASDAQ and Reuters boards.

In all stages of the contest, viewers can browse the gallery online at www.oldnavy.com/super and rate their favorites. At the end of each challenge, the contestant with the most points will become the winner of that challenge and advance to the fabulous finals (finalists appear on TV on 5/6). Then all spotlights are on the storefront stage. Who will hand in their stands, and who will be the last mannequin standing? Your votes decide. The winner, announced on 6/3, will be cast in real plastic as the next Old Navy SuperModelquin, appear in TV commercials, and take home $100,000.
