Mother’s Day with The Limited

admin — Mon, 30 Apr 2012 12:50:03 +0000

Accessories are a fast, easy, and chic way to update a look, and thanks to The Limited’s Mother’s Day campaign, I was able to find inspiration for a gift idea for my own Mom! Over the years we’ve interchanged our bags with each other quite a bit, so when I was looking the site over for the perfect gift, I kept finding myself looking over the belts, scarves, and in particular, handbags.

I ended up with two picks, for two very distinct looks: the Saddle Shoulder Bag in caramel and the Canvas Tote.

My Mom would love to have these bags, as they channel the epitome of her look, which revolves around glamorous, classic style. She loves a good accessory, in particular a handbag, and The Limited Saddle Shoulder Bag reminds me of a classic Coach handbag she has from the 1970s with updated styling and hardware, while The Limited Canvas Tote is a casual, spring/summer take on a Hermès Birkin bag, thanks to it’s canvas material, and is of course, a fraction of the luxury brand’s signature bag’s price!

If there’s anything my Mom taught me, it’s keeping an eye out for great details and stylish finds of good quality at amazing prices. I think she’d approve, and of course use these bags; naturally though, I get borrowing rights!”

So how could each of these bags be styled? I know that my Mom would want to use the Canvas Tote to work so that she can carry around her work documents, a snack, her massive makeup bag,10-pound key chain, and whatever else can possibly fit in there. For the Saddle Shoulder Bag, I envision it as more of a weekend option for running on errands, brunch with a girlfriend, or maybe a shopping (or my Dad would prefer, browsing) trip to Nordstrom’s.

See below for my styling recommendations (featuring all products from The Limited) to accompany each bag, and Happy Mother’s Day! If you’re stumped on a gift recommendation, don’t hesitate to reach out to me via the comments section below for suggestions.

eloquii Provides Fashion Forward Plus-Size Clothing by The Limited

[Gabi looking fabulous in eloquii]

The Limited celebrated its first full figure clothing line, eloquii, this past week at the Cooper Street Hotel. FashionPulseDaily was lucky to partake in the official launch party celebrating a love of both fashion and curves.

Brand ambassador Gabi Fresh (check out her fantastic blog!) looked radiant in a golden dress from eloquii, proving the clothing was designed for, and inspired by real full-figured women, unwilling to sacrifice their love of fashion. I listened while Gabi explained how necessary quality and fit were to the production. She fills the void for the generation of curvy women, women beyond a size 16.

With everything from leather bombers to skinny jeans to sheath dresses and capes, no trend has been left out. The creamy tuxedo jacket with black lapels is ideal to polish off any look.

The collection of 22 styles, ranging from size 14 to 24, will be available online only beginning today, Tues. November 1st. The site even offers the “Shape My Style” feature, a personal shopper of sorts, to help those who struggle with finding the right silhouette and fit – a plus, indeed (pun intended!)

The Limited 2010 Holiday Preview

fashionpulse — Fri, 23 Jul 2010 20:56:07 +0000

This week I attended The Limited 2010 Holiday Preview, which had a ‘Life is Sweet’ theme, and naturally, Dylan’s Candy Bar had a set up there so I could totally indulge in my favorite candies (mainly anything coated in sugar and sour patch kids-like). There are definitely some GREAT pieces for work and play, including trenches, sparkles, and rich velvet, with my favorites in this post – enjoy!

My absolute favorite look! There was just something about it that totally did it for me – I think it was the off-kilter (but awesome) color combination and textures.

The Limited Fall/Winter 2010 Press Preview

[All The Limited pieces, except for the cardigan (Jodi Arnold for the Limited)]

Last night, The Limited showed their Fall/Winter 2010 collection, featuring pieces by veteran designer Jodi Arnold, sure to get you in the mood for slinky jersey, lace, perfectly tailored skirts, a drop of hardware here and there, and feminine statement tops. The rest of the collection from the Limited featured well put-together looks for work (a few of my favorite, above), proving that the pencil skirt is certainly still in, and don’t hesitate to pair it with their signature open gauge knit Forenza sweaters. Spotted was also some great cuts for leather coats, worn denim, and fabulous jewelry.

Jodi Arnold for The Limited

fashionpulse — Mon, 15 Mar 2010 09:00:27 +0000

Is there a store in your life you can avoid neither walking past nor stopping to stare every time you walk past? For me, Jodi Arnold is one of them. A block away from where I live, it is a store I walk past every day, only to find myself distracted by interesting silhouettes and elegant embellishments. Fortunately for spring 2010, the New York designer has collaborated with The Limited to create a collection that combines The Limited‘s practical styles with her signature aesthetics as well. Beads? Check. Prints? Check. Ruffles? Check. Sparkle? Can’t miss that. Undoubtedly Jodi Arnold’s collection of dresses, tops, bottoms, and rompers are appropriate for both Wall Street and Madison Avenue. Feel like glamming it up a bit on a weekday? Done!

The Limited Spring 2010 Preview

fashionpulse — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 09:25:18 +0000

The Limited has really stepped up their game lately; with a strong fall/winter showing that re-launched the famous Forenza sweater, The Limited seems poised to reclaim its fashion territory. Spring 2010 was a great mix of business attire separates as well as casual pieces such as boyfriend jeans and nautical-inspired blazers and tops. What am I most looking forward to? I have to admit that I think the more formal looks were my favorites. Spot-on with a definite contemporary feel, these looks were styled just right and in the perfect color palette, will definitely be a hit for spring:

The Limited Pop-Up Store Celeb Favorites

fashionpulse — Sun, 25 Oct 2009 09:00:03 +0000

After blogging live from the window of The Limited Pop-Up Store in SoHo last week, The Limited was kind enough to let me pick up a few items of my choice (which I am absolutely obsessed with, by the way). I snagged a few blazers, a cozy Forenza sweater, a Forenza scarf, bag, and a few other items, and upon my return from my long weekend Bahamas getaway, I found out that several celebrities who had stopped by picked up the exact same items! Below are several picks of Gossip Girl’s Jessica Szhor and Uma Thurman with the items that we “share”:

I’m on display in the window at 134 Spring Street for the debut of The Limited’s pop-up store-three days only! It’s just me, the models, some chic Limited duds, and the Mac computer. Some people have walked right up to the glass and are peering in-they should come in since this is only until the 17th of October!

**So back to today! The Limited is thrilled to announce the re-launch of the Forenza sweater, their #1 selling sweater in the ’80s. I’m sure either you, your sister, or the coolest girl at school had one. It’s the open gauge, all consuming sweater that you pull over your head, although now the limited has them in duster-styles that look fab belted, as well as in oversized scarves that you can wrap and manipulate into tops!

Let’s jump to the suiting: I love the blazers, and to quote Rachel Zoe, “I die!” I’m wearing this in the window, the elastic sleeve jacket.

On my list also includes:

My beloved slouchy hobo handbag, $60

So now that you’ve seen a few of my favorite items from The Limited, is it time to get shopping? If you’re a budget-conscious fashionista, then I think you may very well be in for a treat, especially when you can get a suit for $150 and dresses for evening priced around $80. Just like the 80s and 90s are back in fashion, so is The Limited!
