Kmart Design Fall 2010 Lookbook


Kmart design steps up their fashion game with the Fall 2010 lookbook

There's a lot of buzz over Kmart's latest fashions right now and these hot Fall 2010 Lookbook photos explain why! For fall, Kmart is drawing inspiration from current styles in the fashion world like the Military-inspired Sgt. Pepper Jacket with shoulder embellishments, a rocker chic bomber jacket and distressed skinny denim. Fall wardrobe basics like the skinny cargo pant complement bolder looks like the high-waisted peplum military jacket. Where Kmart is really trying to stand out from the fast-fashion crowd is with the details, like fine stitching, fully lined jackets, and streamlined silhouettes. From these images, things are looking good! I'm loving the cargos and military jacket although I'll probably pair mine with something more preppy and feminine a la J. Crew. Look for most of the styles shown here in-stores and online first week of September 2010. Watch a behind-the-scenes video from the photo shoot, enter Kmart's Fall Fashion Giveaway and get more fashion news at KmartDesign.com.

UPDATE: The Route 66 slim cargos are $24.99 and the Attention military jacket is $99.99. The price range is $12.99 (Fedora) - $99.99 (Military jacket), with most key Fall pieces falling under $50.

Beauty Review: Avalon Organics Lavender Deodorant Spray

Beauty Review: Avalon Organics Lavender Deodorant Spray

I've been using Avalon Organics Deodorant Spray on and off for a couple weeks now since receiving a free bottle from the company, and I have to say, I love this stuff. Let me preface this commendation by saying, it doesn't really work if you're going to be really active or it's 90 degrees out. You will get stinky. But what Avalon Organics Deodorant Spray does provide is a burst of light, refreshing, cooling liquid on your armpits (3 to 5 squirts per arm) that lingers for a few minutes and then fades, leaving you smelling noticeably fresher for hours without entirely masking your own natural odor, shall we say. And for me, that's not necessarily a bad thing.
