28.Oct.2009 Scorching Fall Shoot

A special thanks to all those involved. You guys rocked it.

In typical Los Angeles style, we went from scorching midsummer heat to breezing autumn chill.

Unfortunately, I didn’t know cooler temperatures were just around the corner when I scheduled our fall catalog photo shoot.  So we had the shoot on an especially hot 107°F Saturday in downtown Los Angeles.

Our models stood in the blazing sun sweating in fall coats and sweaters, yet they made it look so comfortable and easy. If it wasn’t because I was dripping as well, I would never have guessed it was so hot. Yet, thanks to the team’s professionalism and sense of humor, the day went by smoothly and quickly.  Despite long hours and scorching weather, I loved working with everyone.

Some of the photos from this shoot are already visible throughout the site.  They are featured on all the main landing pages and for certain products under more photo options.  The catalog will be ready in a few days and will be emailed out to our newsletter subscribers as well as posted on our site.

A special thanks to all those involved. You guys rocked it.

06.Oct.2009 High-Style for Clenched Clutches

from my closet

The current stormy economic forecast has sent us all into save mode.  Nor can we ignore the plethora of blogs and articles about how to get this season’s look for under $100 or on the cheap.  However, since we at Fan Clothing already offer most items for under $100, I thought we could do something extra economical: How can we get this season’s look without leaving our closets?

Here’s how: Let’s start with the top.  Loose tops or tunics have been in fashion for what seems like ages now.  Every girl probably already has a few hanging in her closet. But if somehow you never got one, right now, you can find tunics for $5 or less on many sale racks at big chain stores.  But to save money, I suggest just substituting with a plain t-shirt, tank top, or camisole you already own.

If you haven’t noticed, distressed jeans are this season’s choice of denim. But instead of spending money on pre-worn looking jeans, you can do it yourself.  You can wear the ones in your closet that already look the part from years of service, or grab an old pair you don’t mind cutting up.  All cuts are in style, so don’t worry about old jeans looking dated.  We’re wearing everything from skinny to flares to loose-fit boyfriend jeans.  Even high waist and tapered jeans are back.

See do it yourself tutorials from youtube.com below: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Fi7QqB9N-Y

The pincher in this ensemble is the three quarter blazer, which is now all the rage.  Every working girl has a suit jacket or two in her closet, even if it only comes out for interviews (now, you remember).  Just take that suit blazer and roll up the sleeves until its three quarter length.  Voilà $200 saved!!

Now just accessorize with your favorite low waist belt and necklace.  What shoes to wear would depend on the jean cut you’ve chosen.  For my flares, I wear boots.
