There’s a chance you didn’t- because I sure had no clue! But, after trying the Avon Wear Your Way Versatile Dress (Available in S, M, L, XL, price: $24.99,) I am a convert (pun intended). As the perfect, LBD, this dress features five looks in one. It comes with a little foldable diagram with instructions so that you’ll have a reference to wear it in new ways each time. In these pictures I have placed the “V” in the front with the straps tied several times around my waist, but you can also drape, tuck, and twist them in several other ways. Although this piece is currently out of stock, check back for future availability, OR try one of their other Avon versatile pieces!

Did You Know: Avon Has Versatile Clothes?

What FPD Has Been Up to Lately
American Living for JCPenney Holiday Preview
The American Living for JCPenney Holiday collection just hit stores, and has some terrific pieces that function for all occasions! I was loving the Navajo sweater, ruffled skirts, and frilly tops. There’s also a perfect assortment for men and children. Plus, at JCPenney, the price is always just right – items are already marked 30% off!
Payless Holiday Collection and Spring 2011 Preview
The designer assortment just keeps getting better and better, and for Spring 2011 there are a TON of great choices from both Payless’ designer (Lela Rose, Isabel Toledo, Christian Siriano) and other labels (Zoe & Zac, American Eagle, Dexter). Expect some great comfort technology, must-have styles, accessories, and even the expansion of beauty products. You can shop the holiday collection now, and I was lucky enough to get a pair of the amazing Isabel Toledo Bow Dress Shoes.
Avon Anew Platinum Luncheon
A lovely lunch at A Voce, Columbus Circle with the face of Avon Platinum, actress Jacqueline Bisset, was my intro to Avon’s Anew Platinum Serum and Night Cream. The product use Avon’s first-ever patented Paxillium Technology , in which you will see results after two weeks. Geared toward women 60 plus, working on deep wrinkles and promises to dramatically reduce the look of those pesky lines. Shop Avon to by both of these products together to save some money, and the line also plans to include eye and lip cream, cleanser, and day cream with SPF 25.
Dr. Martens NYC Store Opening
The middle school-er inside of me died and went to heaven once I stepped inside the brand new Dr. Martens Store at 148 Spring Street in SoHo last night. I remember saving my allowance for months to own a pair, eventually amassing a collection of eight pairs (now, only one from the original ‘collection’ remains). Back to the store: so many great styles to choose from, especially a selection that look nothing like the classic ‘8-lace’ boots! I was loving the chunky heels, fleece lined, and fluero-hued varieties.

Avon Does Fabulous Jewelry?!? Who Knew!
I was recently given a beautiful necklace that looked amazing on me and garnered quite a bit of compliments, so when I asked my friends over at Attention PR where it had come from, I was shocked to discover it was Avon! The item I reference is the Faux Ivory Glam Statement Necklace, $19.99 (was $24.99) and upon perusing the site, discovered that there were many more baubles I definitely wouldn’t mind wearing, all at extremely reasonable prices. Check out the spring 2010 jewelry from Avon, and I’m sure you’ll find a few other things you want too! A few of my other favorites:
Key to My Heart Necklace, $19.99 (and reminiscent of one by Tiffany’s for a few hundred dollars more!)
Fringe Benefits Draped Chain Necklace, $19.99
Color Burst Ring with Rhinestones, $14.99
And FYI: Avon also sells footwear, handbags, apparel, and accessories.
