Whether you have special plans with your man or if you’re just going out with your girlfriends, you should know about this flirty new burgundy strapless dress – just in stores this week! Looking for contemporary and edgy? Or, do you shade more towards simple and classic? This dress fits the bill. Pop into any one of our Teddy stores (only available in stores now!), pick up this little gem ($138) and don’t forget to accessorize according to your style. Here’s a few tips to help you along…(all accessories are available at www.shopteddy.com).

To give this dress an edgy flair, pair it with a set of studded heels, shiny dark nail polish (we love Essie’s Wicked), and a pair of black tights. Emphasize your waist with our black scrunchy leather belt and keep warm with a stylin’ Jack black bomber jacket. Don’t forget to accessorize with our funky silver pyramid stud ring and black folding wooden clutch.

To keep your look more classic and simple, stick with a pair of flats (Repetto flats are amazing!) and a nude or light pink nail polish color. Top the dress off with our cropped black blazer and accessorize with our light beige clutch, gold circle necklace, and gold twisted earrings.

Have a great night out! We know you’ll at least look great…

There were many different and amazing artistic and fashion influences; from the glamourous Jacky Kennedy, to the pop art of Andy Warhol, to the young kids of the British rock‘n roll scene, just to mention a few. All of these wonderful emerging trends and silhouettes were so successful they are still influencing todays modern wardrobe. So time to feel fabulous and embrace the 60′s fashion sense!

Show and Tell: Kimie Packs for Sunny California

teddy — Tue, 24 Jan 2012 16:31:58 +0000

It’s finally starting to feel like winter here in New York, but we’re already sick of it! Luckily, many of us here at teddy have plans to escape the city slush and take a winter vacation. I, for one, will be traveling home to California next week, and thought I’d share some packing tips for anyone else lucky enough to be venturing to warmer climates. The thought of California usually inspires images of sun, sand, and perfect temperatures; but I always like to remind myself that it is still winter on the West Coast. I definitely intend to soak up some 75 degree sunshine, but it’s best to remember that there’s a difference between dressing appropriately for mid-summer 75 degrees and mid-winter 75 degrees. I’ll be sticking to classic prints and keeping my color palette mostly dark with a splash of bright. It’s also always important to check the weather before you go on vacation. From growing up in California, I know that the temperature tends to drop drastically at night so I always carry a big handbag to hold extra layers! Here are 9 pieces I’d love to take on vacation with me:

Refreshing Summer Cordial or Cheeky Mixer Drink

Reblogged from peaceloveandmungbeans:

This is a great cordial for the long summer evenings or day time picnics. If you want to make it adult’s only then a little splash of Gin or Vodka would be lovely. In some cold purified water add: Elderflower cordial (see the measurements on the bottle) Lemon peel Freshly washed and un-sprayed lavender flowers Let it sit for a few hours or over night for the flavours to mingle. Pour into a pretty glass and enjoy!

Bring on the warm weather!

teddy hits the NYC trade shows!

It’s been a busy week! Here’s a little about what we’ve been up to, via Kimie, who manages the teddy NY stores:

We’re getting ready for Spring here at teddy! This week Lucy and I visited the Fame and Intermezzo trade shows to do a little Spring buying. Of course, we stopped in to see some of our favorite lines like Ark & Co and Many Belles Down, but this season we were also happy to find some great new labels like Skies Are Blue and Ladakh.

After scouring the show for the best possible finds, what we can promise for you this Spring are racks filled with your favorite cuts, colors, and prints. Brilliant colors will be all over the place this season, but some of our favorites were the brightest reds, deep pinks, and cool turquoise. Trending everywhere were animal, stripe, and micro prints, and we were sure to grab the best! Be on the lookout for the cutest owl print blouse – we can’t wait for it to arrive! And, as always, we were on the hunt for the most beautiful summer dresses. Whether you like to keep it classic (little black), bohemian (flowy orange), or feminine (watercolor floral), we’ve got the perfect dress for you. Even though winter seems to be finally settling in here in New York, look on the bright side! Spring merch will begin arriving in stores and online next month!

Just came across this on Feature Shoot and wanted to share it with you. I think it’s super adorable and very awesome. All photos were taken by London based photographer Tom Robinson, of his and his girlfriends’ feet while travelling around the globe. In the recent pictures a third set of feet joins them. Love it! Here are few of my favorite pictures from their collection. Hope your Wednesday was wonderful … we are having some chilly weather here, but at least it’s dry! xo m

Nice collection for the new year. This is such a great way to show where your feet have been!
