Styling the Super Bowl


This weekend two of the “best” teams in football will be going head to head for the ultimate title – 
The Super Bowl Champions of 2012. Even though the Eagles should be one of them!! 
Everyone will be flooding the best sports bars or ordering wings 
hanging at their friend’s house with the best TV. Whether you are going out to 
watch the game or just excited to see the commercials and the half time show 
(which in our opinion are the best parts), you can always look stylish even if it’s for a sporting event. Here are some fun ways to spruce up your Super Bowl Sunday look. 

Look #1: "The I just can’t wait to see Madonna sing and the new Pepsi Commercial Girl"
Why sacrifice fashion when you have such a fashionista singing in the half time show? 
This outfit is for the girl who wears her favorite heels wherever she goes, 
no matter what the occasion.  Not only does she rock her inner style but she has the 
confidence to shine with her style.  For this girl we’ve styled her with a sexy heel 
thats new for spring summer from Pierre Hardy, skinny zipper jeans from Rag and Bone
a flowy tank from Hoss, a cashmere hoodie from Dear Cashmere in Citrus 
(a hot color for this season!), then the beautiful handmade scarf from Faliero Sarti
and last but not least the Nightingale bag from Givenchy. This look mixes a sultry but playful vibe, making you the most favored fan at the party.

Look #2: “The Ultimate Party Host”
You’re the woman we all admire. You have everyone’s favorite beer and wine stocked in the fridge. You have made every finger food imaginable and have ordered the best wings in the area. You ARE the ultimate party host. Every guy and girl wants to be at your super bowl party. As the ultimate party host you want to look stylish but be able to move around and handle anything that comes up.  Spilled wine, spilled food, whatever gets thrown at you, you are able to handle it while looking great! For this girl we’ve styled a great pair pants in a flexible linen fabric from Balanciaga, a loose but stylish tank from Stella Mccartney for Adidas, a funky vest from Elizabeth and James, sparkley accessories, and fun and comfortable flats that are also Stella Mccartney for Adidas.  
Not only are you able to move around in this outfit, but the accessories and 
vest dress it up so look like a guest at your own party!

Look #3: “The Ultimate Fan”
You know every player’s name (not just the sexy ones), know all the stats, and can quote the best touchdowns made all season.  Every guy at the party is impressed by your supreme knowledge of the game, which always makes you the most popular girl in the room. Or hey, maybe this Sunday you just want to look like the part.  Here we’ve taken the ultimate fan look, but pumped it up a few notches. We’ve paired the jersey with skinny black jeans that have great stretch from Second Yoga Denim, funky sneakers with a wedge heel from Ash, a sporty yet stylish jacket from Stella Mccartney for Adidas, and some great accessories. This eclectic mix will surely have guys wondering what you’re about and impressed with your love of the game.

Mulberry's Spring/Summer 2012 Collection of Handbags

Mulberry visited the UK’s Brighton Beach for Spring/Summer 2012, with a theme of retro caravans and a summer Seventies vibe!   The whole Spring/Summer 2012 Mulberry Campaign was inspired by the great British seaside including all its wonders, the piers, arcades, donkey rides and sticks of rocks.  Mulberry - “our new season is infused with plenty of electric Mulberry charm, luxe detailing and kiss-me-quick chic for a season of colour, classic British summers and camping cool!”

Mulberry has become one of Britain's favorite fashion staples and now we at Joan Shepp have also been hooked by the sexy and corky British style of Mulberry.  We love this seasons classic shapes and hardware mixed with bright and fun colors and textures.  From the Lily mini bag with leather and chain woven strap to the classic and iconic Bayswater bag.  Make sure to check out the collection of Mulberry Bags soon to come and available now at Joan Shepp and joanshepp.com!

Sometimes there are not enough hours in a day.....

Introducing....The "31 Hour Bag" by 3.1 Phillip Lim

Sometimes there are not enough hours in the day. You plan what you can, throw the 
rest in your bag and let the day unfold. You need an effortless bag that carries you 
through the day and transforms you into the night.

Different days, different ways, but the 31 hour bag stays the same. 
A supple nappa leather in a classic tote shape with a play on proportion.

A functional form with the signature fold-over lip and large zipper 
closure allows you to carry just enough of what you need but leaving 
room for the promise of more.

Next Wednesday,  come see samples of the bags which come in a variety of 
colors as well as a presentation on the whole "idea" behind the collection. 
Guests will also be able to pre-order their very own bag.
