Happy New Year! We know you’ve already made your resolutions, but there’s one more we want to sneak onto your list. In 2008, dare to try something new! We’re not talking about a wholesale reinvention of yourself, we’re talking about tippy toeing a few steps outside of your comfort zone to discover new looks. There are some fantastic trends coming for 2008, and it’d be a shame if you missed out because of a lack of encouragement. So, we’ll be your pep squad!

Just remember this—don’t knock it till you try it. What may look “so not me” on a hanger could look drop dead stunning on. If we had a nickel for every time a customer was reluctant to try something new, only to give it a whirl and end up loving it, we’d have a 2-week spa resort vacation, including flight, paid entirely in nickels. Now, about all that new trend stuff….

We’re creating a new editorial feature called Trend Report. It’ll be a place for you to find all the hot new trends for the coming season, and of course, our expert Stylists will frequent Trend Report, giving you some fantastic and practical outfit ideas to help you wear it all. Coming soon, we’ll keep you posted.
